Item No. 5 PC: 1-7-93 MS-92-175 Page 1 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission: 1. Deny Minor Subdivision No. MS-92-175 due to the Inability to make Finding No.'s. 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8. FINDINGS 1. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan, any applicable Specific Plan and Special Purpose Plan, and any other applicable plan adopted by the County. • This Finding cannot be made because the proposal Is to use private wells, which Is Inconsistent with General Plan Water Supply Policy No. 2 (page IV-98), which states that in urban communities a public water system Is a minimum requirement for approval of a tentative map. Section 9-1120.3 of the Development Title provides that an exception may be granted for parcels greater than two acres In size. However, that exception Is discretionary and should not apply In this case because this site Is adjacent to an existing public water system and could be developed with public water. 2. The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable Specific Plan or Special Purpose Plan. • This Finding cannot be made for three reasons. The proposal for private wells Is Inconsistent with General Plan Water Supply Policy No. 2 as discussed In Finding 1 and In the text. This proposal would Inhibit the creation of a master circulation plan for the area. Finally, this proposal would Inhibit the expansion of master plans for water supply and stormwater drainage that are In place for the adjacent rural residential subdivisions. 3. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed. • This Finding can be made because the land is relatively level, reasonably shaped, and relatively free of obstacles and hazards. 4. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development. • This Finding cannot be made because the proposed density of one dwelling for two acres Is lower than it should be within an urban community. One-acre lots would provide for better use of the land. 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.
