2. The design or improvement of the subdivision is consistent with the General Plan and any Specific Plan or Special Purpose Plan. This finding can be made because the subdivision will be served by the Oakwood Lake Water District for water, sanitary sewer, and storm water drainage. Additionally, a Homeowners Association shall be formed by the developer to maintain the streetlights, roads, access gates, and landscaping. There are no Master Plans or Specific Plans for the area that the subdivision would need to comply with. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the Oakwood Lake Special Purpose Plan adopted in 2001. The Oakwood Lakes Special Purpose Plan provides for a variety of uses, one of which is single-family residences. A change in the setback requirements for corner lots does not conflict with the requirements or conditions of the Special Purpose Plan. The Revisions of Approved Actions is consistent with Development Title Section 9-310.5(b), and the Development Title is consistent with the General Plan. 3. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed. • This finding can be made because the proposed subdivision meets the required General Plan density of 2-6 dwelling units per gross acre. The proposed subdivision meets the development requirements contained in the Development Title regarding setbacks, lot size, and lot width. Additionally, all minimum County standards are met. The site is relatively level. 4 The site is physically suitable for the proposed density development. This finding can be made because the proposed subdivision will meet the density of 2-6 dwelling units per gross acre as required in Table III-1 of the General Plan. The proposed subdivision has a density of 2.3 dwelling units per gross acre. The Revisions of Approved Actions will not affect the density of the subdivision. 5 Neither the design of the subdivision nor any proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. • This finding can be made because an Environmental Impact Report (ER-98-2) was prepared for the General Plan Map Amendment and Zone Reclassification (GP-98-5/ZR-98-15) which evaluated the proposed subdivision as an underlying project. The EIR proposed mitigation measures that reduced the impact of the General Plan, Zone Reclassification, and proposed Subdivision to a less than significant level, with the exception of two impacts dealing with groundwater and air quality that could not be mitigated to less than significant levels. The Board of Supervisors adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations for those impacts. The Initial Study for the subdivision evaluated the proposed project and determined that with the mitigation measures proposed in the EIR, the effect would be less than significant. The Initial Study for the Revisions of Approved Actions states that a change in the setbacks of corner lots from a minimum of twenty (20) feet for the street side yard and a total of twenty-five (25) feet minimum for the total of the street side yard and side yard setback to a minimum of ten (10) feet for the street side yard and an average of twenty-five feet per lot for the total of the street side yard and the side yard for all corner lots of the subdivision has a less than significant impact on the environment. 6 The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause significant public health problems.
