The proposed tentative tract map is consistent with the goals, objectives, policies, plans, programs, intent and requirements of the Arroyo Grande General Plan and the Development Code as amended. The proposed tentative tract map will enable four (4) Residential Suburban lots on a one (1) acre portion of the subject property southeast of Rodeo Drive and Mercedes Lane and one 2.0 acre lot on the south side of Rodeo Drive near Grace Lane and as a transition to a potential Public Facility development on the three lots designated and zoned for Public Facility on the northeast side of West Branch Street near Rodeo Drive. 2. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed. The four proposed Residential Suburban lots are on level terrain, with a proposed RESOLUTION NO. 2091 TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 3019 PAGE 2 lot depth and width similar in size to the adjoining existing Single Family Residential development of Royal Oak Estates, Tract No. 1390, and the Multiple Family designation and MF zoning proposes residential development compatible with existing houses as well as providing transition to the potential Public Facility development. 3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development. The four (4) Residential Suburban, RS, lots are on level terrain and are similar to the density of the adjoining existing residential development and the potential Multiple Family, MF, lot is on sloping terrain providing a transition to the Public Facility lots and existing potential Public Facility developments with access to West Branch Street and Rodeo Drive composing the South County Regional Center area. 4. The design of the tentative tract map and the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The proposed Residential Suburban and Multiple Family zoned lots and the potential Public Facility developments are located in and adjoin the South County Regional Center and constitute infill development with existing streets and minor utility and other infrastructure improvements having no impacts on fish or wildlife habitat, which would be preserved and protected within a proposed Conservation and Open Space Overlay and maintenance easement containing the drainage, trails and habitat areas bisecting the South County Regional Center. 5. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems. The residential and Public Facility uses will be served by existing and proposed water, sewer, drainage, utilities and streets which are adequate for the potential uses. 6. The design of the tentative tract map or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public-at-large for access through or use of property within the proposed tentative tract map or that alternative easements will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. The existing public streets and easements provide for access, drainage and other public utilities, including existing water lines and proposed sewer lines are provided easements to enable adequate services. 7. The discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into an existing community sewer system will not result in violation of existing requirements as prescribed in Division 7(commencing with Section 13000) of the California Wate� Code. The subdivision will comply with all City and South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District standards relating to sewer system design. 8. Adequate public services and facilities exist or will be provided as the result of the proposed tentative tract map to support project development. Development will constitute infill and utilize existing street, water and other RESOLUTION NO. 2091 TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 3019 PAGE 3 infrastructure and services and sewer, sidewalk and other improvements are proposed as part of the tract to support project development.
