Application, including written staff reports, verbal testimony, development
plans, and Conditions of Approval attached hereto as Exhibit "A," this Planning
Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. That the proposed Application is consistent with the City's General Plan
Land Use Designation (Residential), the State Subdivision Map Act, the
Zoning Designation and applicable development standards of the R-2
(Light Multiple-Residential) Zone.

as established in the Zoning Code.

each of the two lots will be approximately 7,500 square feet.

any substantial environmental damage or substantially injure fish, wildlife,

Application will create two legal and roughly equivalent parcels from two
parcels in an area that has been planned for residential uses.

to cause serious public health problems.
