1. The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with the General Plan, any applicable Specific Plan, pre-existing Special Purpose Plan, or Master Plan, the Development Title, and other applicable provisions of the County Code. 1. • This finding is supported,contingent upon approval of the accompanying Variance application,which would bring the proposed subdivision into compliance with applicable Development Title standards.The subject property is designated AIG (General Agriculture) by the General Plan and is zoned AG-40(General Agriculture,40-acre minimum).As proposed, the subdivision includes parcels that do not meet the minimum lot size and lot width requirements of the AG-40 zone and,therefore,is not consistent with the General Plan or Development Title in its current form. However,the applicant has submitted a Variance request to allow the creation of parcels below the 40-acre minimum and to reduce the minimum lot width.If the Variance is approved by the Planning Commission,the proposed subdivision would conform to applicable zoning regulations and align with the General Plan°s allowance for agricultural and rural residential land use patterns, particularly in areas where similar substandard parcels already exist.There is no applicable Master Plan,Specific Plan, or Special Purpose Plan governing the project site. If the Variance is approved,the subdivision design and improvements would be consistent with County standards and compatible with the surrounding land use pattern. 2. The site is physically suitable for the type of development and the proposed density of the development. 1. • This finding is supported,subject to approval of the associated Variance,which would permit the proposed parcel sizes and density within the AG-40 zone.The subject property consists of 14.77 acres of relatively flat terrain historically used for agricultural purposes.The proposed subdivision would create six new parcels and one remainder parcel,each of which would be eligible for development with a single-family residence and accessory dwelling units,consistent with the allowances of the AG-40 zoning district.While the proposed density—approximately 0.47 units per acre exceeds the 0.0 to 0.05 units per acre range prescribed by the AIG(General Agriculture)General Plan designation,the surrounding area already reflects a rural residential development pattern,including numerous substandard lots within a'/,-mile radius. The site is further supported by the feasibility of on-site infrastructure. Future development would utilize private wells for water supply, individual septic systems for wastewater disposal, and a storm drainage pond for stormwater management.All infrastructure improvements would be subject to review and approval by the Environmental Health Department, Department of Public Works,and other applicable County agencies to ensure consistency with development standards.Given the physical characteristics of the site, its compatibility with surrounding land uses,and the availability of necessary infrastructure,the property is considered physically suitable for the proposed type and density of development,contingent upon approval of the requested Variance. 3. The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat, unless an Environmental Impact Report(EIR)was prepared and a finding was made that specific economic, social, or other considerations make the mitigation measures or project alternatives infeasible, pursuant to Section 21081(a)(3) of the Public Resources Code, 1.
