The proposed subdivision and associated improvements are consistent with Redwood City's General Plan, Municipal Code, Zoning Ordinance, and all applicable subdivision improvement requirements. B. The site is not physically suited for the proposed type or density of development. The 1.2 acre project site is physically suited for the type and density of the proposed development. The site is located within the MUC-ECR Zoning District, which permits multi -family residential uses, and the site is surrounded by other existing residential and commercial uses on EI Camino Real. The MUC-ECR allows for a residential density up to 60 dwelling unit to the acre, and only 33 units are proposed on the 1.2 acre site. The site is also flat and located in an urban environment for which all public utilities and services are already established. C. The design or proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial environmental damage, or substantially and avoidably injure fish, wildlife, or their habitat, or cause serious public health problems. The 1.2 acre project site is within a highly urbanized area that is currently developed with a 23,825 square -foot single -story automotive dealership, which would be demolished and improved with a 33 -unit townhouse complex. As proposed, the proposed design and improvements would not pose substantial environmental damage and based on the project location in a highly urbanized area, the site has no value as habitat. Additionally, the project site is not located near or adjacent to any vegetation community that would support any wildlife movement, travel, or habitat corridor identified in the General Plan EIR (Figure 4- 4.2). D. The design or improvements of the proposed subdivision will conflict with essential public easements for access through, or use of, property within the proposed subdivision, unless acceptable alternate public easements will be provided. The proposed subdivision and associated improvements will not conflict with essential public easements for access through, or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. The existing JPB right-of-way is currently leased and used by the automotive dealership for automobile parking; however as shown on Sheet C6.0 of the Project plans, no development or construction would occur on the JPB right-of-way. Additionally, the project site does not have any public utilities or associated improvements that would be in conflict with the proposed project.
