The map, design, or improvement of the proposed subdivision are <br />inconsistent with the general or specific plans, the Zoning Ordinance, <br />or the subdivision improvement requirements. <br /> <br />The subdivision is consistent with the City’s General Plan, Zoning <br />Ordinance, and subdivision improvement requirements. Both parcels meet <br />all applicable development requirements and were evaluated by the City’s <br />Engineering Division to ensure compliance with the subdivision improvement <br />requirements. <br />B. The site is not physically suited for the proposed type or density <br />development. <br /> <br />The Project is physically suited for the proposed type of development. The <br />site is in an urbanized, mixed-use location generally surrounded by office, <br />commercial, retail, and residential uses. The site is surrounded by other uses <br />similar in height and intensity, and properties similar in size. <br />C. The design or proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial <br />environmental damage, or substantially and avoidably injure fish, <br />wildlife or their habitat, or cause serious public health problems. <br /> <br />The Project will not cause substantial environmental damage, as the existing <br />lot is an urban infill development improved with a commercial structure and <br />surface parking lot. The lots would accommodate development allowed in <br />Mixed-Use ECR zone as permitted by the General Plan and Zoning <br />Ordinance and would not result in degradation of habitat or public health <br />issues. <br />D. The design or improvements will conflict with essential public <br />easements for access through, or use of, property within the proposed <br />subdivision, unless acceptable alternate public easements will be <br />provided. <br /> <br />The design or improvements of the subdivision does not conflict with any <br />essential public easements. The Project proposes an 11-inch public access <br />easement to accommodate frontage improvements necessary to widen the <br />sidewalk. <br />E. The reasons submitted for the granting of any exceptions applied for <br />do not comply with requirements for findings described in Section
