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 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. Page 3 is • • • 0 5.
