4. Impair any existing easements or create a need for any new easements serving
adjacent lots or parcels;
There are no existing'easements that would be impaired; nor would any new
easements be required to serve adjacent lots or parcels.
5. Constitute poor land planning or undesirable lot configurations due to existing
environmental conditions or current zoning development standards;
The proposed lot line adjustment will create a more desirable lot configuration by
removing lot lines from under an existing structure, resulting in two lots that are
more conforming to zoning development standards than the three existing lots.
6. Require substantial alteration of any existing improvements or create a need for
any new improvements;
All required improvements are already in place.
7. Create a nonconforming lot in the development district in which it exists, except
as allowed in Section 16.48.110 of this title.
All lots involved in the proposed lot line adjustment are currently non-conforming;
by consolidating three lots into two lots, the proposed lot line adjustment will
result in the remaining lots becoming more conforming.
Planned Unit Development Findings
1. The proposed development is consistent with the goals, objectives and programs
of the general plan and any applicable specific plan;
The proposed development is consistent with several policies of the General
Plan, including the following policies: LU 12-2.7, LU 12-5.1, LU 12-11.1 and LU
12-11.2.
2. The site for the proposed development is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the use and all yards, open spaces, setbacks, walls and fences,
parking area, loading areas, landscaping, and other features required;

The site has access to Le Point Terrace, which has adequate capacity to support
the additional traffic generated by a new single-family home.
4. Adequate public 'services exist, or will be provided in accordance with the
conditions of development plan approval, to serve the proposed development;
and that the approval of the proposed development will not result in a reduction
of such public services to properties in the vicinity so. as to be a detriment to
public health, safety or welfare;
Adequate services exist to support the increased demand generated by a new
single-family home.
5. The proposed development, as conditioned, will not have a substantial adverse
effect on surrounding property, or the permitted use thereof, and will be

area;
•

between existing townhomes and a traditional single-family residence, consistent
with the Design Standards for Historic Districts.

address all natural and manmade hazards associated with the proposed
development and the project site, including, but not limited to, flood, seismic, fire

development provisions by providing a more efficient use of the land and an
excellence of design greater than that which could be achieved through the
application of conventional development standards;

side yard setback and floor area ratio (FAR) requirements for the Multi-Family
• (MF) zoning district, which are intended to facilitate development of multi-family
apartments, currently not.feasible on a lot of this size and shape. Furthermore,
• the proposed project is compatible with adjacent uses, which include townhomes
