ATTY/RESO.0013/PC RESO 879 VISTA DR REV: 03-05-24 VR Page 2 of 4 constitute findings in this matter and, together with the staff report and the application materials, including without limitation the CEQA determination, and all other documents, reports, studies, memoranda, maps, oral and written testimony, and materials in the City’s file for the applications and the Project, and all adopted City planning documents relating to the Project and the property including the City’s General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Municipal Code, other applicable City laws and regulations, have together served as an adequate and appropriate evidentiary basis for the findings and actions set forth in this Resolution. Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the Project is exempt from the requirements of CEQA per Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 15061(b)(3) because the Project does not consist of any development, and therefore, the decision to approve the Tentative Parcel Map will not have any significant effect on the environment. Any future development will require environmental review as appropriate when any such development is undertaken. Section 4. The Planning Commission is not able to make the required findings to deny the subdivision as outlined in Section 30.23 of the Redwood City Municipal Code. Specifically, the Planning Commission finds that it cannot make the following findings: A. The map, design or improvement of the proposed subdivision are inconsistent with the general or specific plans, the Zoning Ordinance, or subdivision improvement requirements. The map of the proposed subdivision is not inconsistent with Redwood City’s General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and all subdivision improvement requirements excluding the one requested exception related to maximum lot depth measurement. Pursuant to Section 30.69, the requested exception may only be granted by approval of the Planning Commission. B. The site is not physically suited for the proposed type or density of development. There is currently no development proposed for the subdivision. Both sites would be physically suited for the construction of a single-family residence and are located in an urbanized area consisting of all residential uses. The subdivision would subdivide one lot into two single-family lots. 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 project would not cause substantial environmental damage as it is located in an urban area on a developed lot. The project will not have any significant impact on the environment or cause serious public health problems as there is no construction proposed.
