cost of mitigating impacts on existing facilities,;infrastructure and rthe <br /> environment. a <br /> 2. The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with tW.Gene.ral. Plan, <br /> the Master Plan;any applicable Specinc Plan and any applicable Special Purpose Plan. <br /> i This finding can be made.since.the analysis conducted by C.DD,has found that <br /> the design or improvements of the proposed subdivision,as shown on the. . <br /> I Tentative.Map, meetsthe requirements`of the General.Plan ,Master,Plan,and <br /> Specific Plan Ill. The design_of;the proposed subdivision provides additional . <br /> ( housing opportunities for future.residents., It meets the residential density <br /> 4 requirements of adopted plans. It.incorporates a coordinated system of auto, <br /> pedestrian,and bicycle facilities that provide efficient access Within the project' <br /> and to commercial and public destinations(e.g., K-8 school,commercial'sites).. It <br /> creates a distinctive and.livable residential environment within the,project. <br /> Concerning design,all landscape, hardscape and street,ele.ments.within the <br /> proposed subdivision will be designed and constructed in accordance with the <br /> adopted community approvals regarding specific thernes.and.material variation. <br /> 3. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed. <br /> i • This finding can be.made since the analysis conducted by CDD-has found that <br /> the site is physically suitable to accommodate the uses proposed. This analysis <br /> is based on the improvements proposed; the assessment of the hydrology and <br /> water quality of the site;and the required remediation/correction of identified <br /> hazardous materials on the site. <br /> 4. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development. <br /> k • This finding can be made since the analysis conducted by CDD has found that <br /> the area proposed for development is adequate in size to accommodate the <br /> density of development proposed,consistent with the Master Plan and Specific <br /> Plan Ill. <br /> 5. Neither the design of the subdivision nor any proposed improvements are likely to cause <br /> substantial environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish or wildlife or <br /> their habitat. <br /> • This finding can be made because the proposed subdivision,as conditioned,will <br /> be required to comply with applicable Federal and State laws for the protection of <br /> fish or wildlife or their habitat,and because the applicant will comply with the San <br /> Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan <br /> (SJCMSCP). In addition,the developer will be required to prepare a Wetland <br /> Mitigation/Replacement Plan (Wetland Plan)and a Riparian Habitat Mitigation <br /> Plan (Habitat Plan)to offset the proposed elimination of the riparian habitat and <br /> wetland on the project site, The Wetiand Plan would be subject to a number of <br /> provisions, including the requirement that the lost wetland be replaced with 1.5 <br /> I acres of new wetland or, if a wetland delineation report is prepared,be replaced <br /> at a minimum ratio of 1:1. If feasible,replacement wetland would occur within the <br /> Mountain House Creek Restoration Plan; if not feasible, replacement wetland <br /> would occur elsewhere in San Joaquin County.The Habitat Plan would indicate <br /> sites that are to be developed or preserved to serve as offset for loss of riparian <br /> habitat as a result of the proposed project. To the extent practical, replacement <br /> sites would be located in San Joaquin County and would assist in the <br /> i <br /> 5 <br />
