e. The application contemplates the subdivision of the subject parcel into four
separate parcels of 13,455 square feet (Parcel 1)and 8,000 square feet(Parcels 2, 3,and 4). The
dimensions of the parcels will comply with the City's Basic Development standards; and
f. The applicant has no intent to develop Parcels 2, 3, and 4, which will be sold to
others. Any proposals for a subdivision and construction of residential structures on these parcels
will be the responsibility of the eventual owner(s) and will be subject to review and action by the
Planning Commission at a later date. Until then, these parcels will remain vacant; and
g. All parcels will have direct access to the public right-of-way at Cougar Court; and
h. The properties surrounding the subject site to the north, east, and west are zoned
Low Residential District with lot dimensions of about 8,000 square feet and are improved with
single-family residences. To the south is the Foothill Freeway (SR-210).
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1
and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. The proposed uses are in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of the
Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located.
b. The proposed uses, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
o. The proposed uses comply with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code.
4. Planning Department staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from
the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA
Guidelines. The project qualifies under the Class 15 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines
Section 15315 Minor Land Divisions because the project proposes a subdivision of one parcel into
four or less parcels, is in an urbanized area zoned for residential use, is in conformance with the
General Plan and zoning, no variances or exceptions are required, all services and access to the
proposed parcels are to local standards, the parcel was not involved in a larger subdivision of
another parcel within the last two years, and the average slope on the parcel is not greater than
20 percent. In addition, there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant
effect on the environment. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Planning Department's
determination of exemption, and based on its own independent judgment, concurs in the staff's
determination of exemption.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth
below and in the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
