e. The developer's request to delete the condition of approval is due to the concerns
raised by Mr. and Mrs. Parlier, regarding the potential flood risk and loss of privacy due to their
narrow side yard. In addition,with the extension of the Regional Trail, around the Demens Basin to
Amethyst Street set to go forward, the need to continue the Community Trail south to Valley View
Street is no longer a priority; and
f. The Trails Advisory Committee(Buller, Dickey, Rabone, Stewart)on March 8,2000
and on May 10, 2000, reviewed the request to delete the construction of the Amethyst Community
Trail south form the southeast corner of Tentative Tract 16026 to Valley View Street and
recommended that the developer(Amethyst Estates L.P)be relieved of constructing the Amethyst
Community Trail off-site south to Valley View Street.
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. That the tentative tract modification is consistent with the General Plan,
Development Code, and any applicable specific plans; and
b. The design or improvements of the tentative tract modification is consistent with the
General Plan, Development Code, and any applicable specific plans; and
c. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed; and
d. The tentative tract modification is not likely to cause substantial environmental
damage and avoidable injury to humans or wildlife or their habitat; and
e. The tentative tract modification is not likely to cause serious public health problems;
and
f. The modification of the tentative tract will not conflict with any easement acquired
by the public at large, now of record, for access through or use of the property within the proposed

considered in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended, and
