WHEREAS, studies and investigations made by the City
Council and in its behalf reveal the following facts:
1. The applicant is requesting approval of a one lot
parcel map for the expansion of an existing
automobile dealership.
2. The proposed subdivision meets or exceeds the
standards of the Service Commercial (S-C) Zone.
3. This map is being processed concurrently with and is
contingent upon the approvals of Zone Change No. 614
and General Plan Amendment No. II-88-5.
4. Findings necessary for approval of a tentative parcel
map:
a. The proposed map is consistent with the General
Plan, and applicable Specific Plans, which call
for commercial uses on the project site, and the
expansion of the economic base of the City.
b. The design and improvement proposed are
consistent with the General Plan designation of
"Service and Neighborhood Commercial", and the `
CBD Redevelopment Plan which calls for "Service
Commercial" uses.
C. The site is physically suitable for this type of
development, as indicated by similar developments
adjacent to the project site.
d. The site is physically suitable for the proposed
density of development. The incorporation of six
residential lots into the existing developed
parcel will lessen the intensity of the existing
development, as the additional lot area is
proposed for surface parking and storage of
automobiles.
e. The design of the subdivision and proposed
improvements will not cause substantial
environmental damage. The project site is in an
urban area and has previously been developed with
six single-family homes and an automobile
dealership.
f. The design of the subdivision with this type of
improvements will not cause any serious public
health problems. The proposal meets the
development criteria established in the Municipal
Code. No new improvements such as sewer or water
connections are required as the site has
previously been developed.
g. The design of the subdivison will not conflict
with any easements acquired by the public.
