1. The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for the design and
improvement, are consistent with the General Plan, Zoning Code, Title 16 of the
Municipal Code relating to Subdivisions, and the State Subdivision Map Act.
The design of the subdivision and density of 3.99 dwelling units per acre are
consistent with the General Plan designations of Low Medium and Medium density
residential, which accommodates residential development up to 6 and 12 dwelling
units per acre respectively. The project is consistent with the designated land use
planning area, development and design standards, and all other appropriate
requirements contained in the General Plan, Cottage Lane Specific Plan„ and
Subdivision Map Act.
2. The proposed subdivision is compatible with the objectives, policies, general land
uses and programs specified in the General Plan (Government Code Section 66473.5).
The project is consistent with the land use plan, development and design standards
and programs, and all other appropriate requirements contained in the General Plan,
and Cottage Lane Specific Plan. As discussed, the General Plan designates the
project site as Low Medium and Medium Density Residential. The Cottage Lane
Specific Plan designates the project site as SFD 4000 (Single Family Density
Residential, minimum 4, 000 square foot lot). Tract Map No. 32996 is consistent with
the SFD 4000 designation and applicable development and design standards.
3. The effects this proposed subdivision is likely to have upon the housing needs of the
region, the public service requirements of its residents, and the available fiscal and
environmental resources have been considered and balanced.
