The granting of the exception will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property in the vicinity of the subject property. Allowing a modification to the City's Street Design for a Local Street would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property in the vicinity of the subject property as the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration ( IS/MND ) determined that the Project, with mitigation measures, would not create significant environmental impacts . The Plan Review Committee has also determined that the roadway meets emergency vehicle (public safety) and general circulation access needs. The roadway modification would also not be injurious to other properties in the vicinity because its design is proportionally sized to the 10 units that it serves rather than being oversized/excessive for its intended purpose. With the street design modification , the subdivider would be able to design a better subdivision (a park that would be open to the residents of La Palma and the neighborhood , more pervious surfaces, more on-site trees saved , simplified/safer roadway configuration that would include more guest parking than is required pursuant to the Zoning Ordinance, marked pavement for pedestrians and traffic calming) and other improvements that would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to properties in the vicinity.
