J SUPPLEMENTAL FINDINGS COUNTY OF SAN JOAQUIN SUPPORT OF THE NEIGBORHOOD F TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP. The County of San Joaquin considered the entire record of the proceedings concerning the Neighborhood F Tentative Subdivision Map application (Map) and makes the following findings: 1. The Map application was deemed complete on 4/27/2000. All required public hearings have been duly noticed and held. The County notes that Section 66474 of the Government Code is written in the negative. In other words, rather than outline the findings that must be made to approve a discretionary land use approval, the State Subdivision Map Act expresses the basis to deny a tentative subdivision map. The County, using its independent judgment, concludes that none of the findings requiring denial of the Map can be made. The reasons for this conclusion are provided herein. In addition, the Development Agreement requires the County to make determinations before approving discretionary land use applications. These findings also include the determinations required by the Development Agreement. Furthermore, all applicable provisions of the Mountain House Development Agreement have been satisfied. THE PROPOSED MAP IS NOT INCONSISTENT WITH APPLICABLE GENERAL AND SPECIFIC PLANS. 2. The County finds that the Map is not inconsistent with the General Plan and the Mountain House Specific Plan. In addition, the County finds that the Map is consistent with the Existing Approvals (as that term is used in the Development Agreement), the Development Agreement and other plans and programs identified in the Development Agreement. (The General Plan, Specific Plan 1, the Existing Approvals (as that term is defined in the Development Agreement), other plans and programs identified in the Development Agreement, and the Development Agreement may be collectively referred to as the "Consistency Plans.") 2.A. In reaching this conclusion, the County observes that the law does not require a precise or exact match between this project and the Consistency Plans. To be consistent, a project must be compatible with the plan's purpose and policies. This project does not have to be in perfect conformity with every plan policy. Instead, a specific project is consistent with the whole of the general plan, specific plan and the other portions of the Consistency Plans even if it does not precisely match each and every element. 1
