The subdivision is consistent with the General Plan assumptions and policies specific to the unincorporated urban community of Morada and is consistent with the rural residential character of the Morada area. There are no applicable Master Plans, or Specific Plans, or Special Purpose Plans. 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 can be made because the design and improvement of the proposed subdivision are consistent with standards contained in the General Plan as reflected in the tentative map. The drainage facilities for each lot will be built in accordance with the San Joaquin County Development Standards as required by the Department of Public Works. The domestic water well and individual sewage disposal systems will be constructed under permit and inspection by the Environmental Health Department. The proposed roadways will be improved to Rural Road Standards required by the Department of Public Works and secondary access will be provided for fire and emergency response purposes. There are no Specific Plans or Special Purpose Plans. 3. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed. • This finding can be made because the tentative map is consistent with the General Plan density requirement of 1 to 5 dwelling units per five gross acres (1-5 du/5ga). The project's proposed two-acre minimum lot size complies with the requirements of the Development Title. In addition, while Lots 4-5, 11, and 17-18 each have lot widths less than the required minimum 150 feet, the overall average lot width is 155 feet, which meets the minimum lot width requirement pursuant to Development Title Section 9-310.4(a). All other development requirements contained in the Development Title and County standards are otherwise satisfied. 4. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development. • This finding can be made because the number of parcels proposed is consistent with the R/R General Plan density requirement of 1-5 dwelling units per five gross acres. The minimum lot size is greater than two acres for each parcel and the entire project area is 38 acres, which results in a density of 0.47 dwelling units per gross acre, which meets the density requirements. Therefore, the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development. All lots meet the minimum standards of the Development Title. The parcels will be served by private septic systems, individual wells, and on-site drainage systems. 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 although the Initial Study prepared for this project identified midvalley fairy shrimp (Branchinecta mesovallensis), Swainson's hawk (Buteo swainsoni), and vernal pool tadpole shrimp (Lepidurus packardi) as a rare or endangered PA-2000129 - Findings 1
