NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby find and determine as follows: II. TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP FINDINGS- A. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66473.5 of the Subdivision Map Act, the Planning Commission finds that the Tentative Subdivision Map, as conditioned herein, is in conformance with the elements of the City's General Plan, based on the following: PC Resolution PCS -15 -02 August 26, 2015 Page 2 1. Land Use The General Plan land use designation is Mixed -Use Residential. The implementing zone is Central Commercial, however for a Mixed -Use project the allowable density is based on the total project area, less any area devoted exclusively to commercial use, including commercial parking and circulation areas. Per the MU standards, Section 19.58.205C, a total of 80 dwelling units are permitted on the 2.49 acre Project Site, with the proposed commercial. The proposed 80 -unit subdivision is within the allowable density and permitted number of dwelling units. 2. Circulation All off -site public streets required to serve the subdivision already exist or will be constructed or paid for by the Applicant in accordance with the Conditions of Approval. The on -site circulations system, is designed in accordance with the City design standards and/or requirements and provides for vehicular and pedestrian connections. 3. Public Facilities The Project has been conditioned to ensure that all necessary public facilities and services will be available to serve the Project concurrent with the demand for those services. There are no public services, facility, or phasing needs created by the Project that warrants the preparation of a Public Facilities Financing Plan. 4. Housing The Project is consistent with the density prescribed within the Mixed -Use Residential General Plan designation, and provides additional opportunities for multi- family residential home ownership in the southwestern portion of the City. 5. Growth Manageme The surrounding street segments and intersections including Broadway and Moss Street will continue to operate at the same Level of Service in compliance with the City's traffic threshold standard with the proposed Project traffic. No adverse impact to the City's traffic threshold standards would occur as a result of the proposed Project. The Project Site is located in the attendance area of Harborside Elementary School, within the boundaries of the Chula Vista Elementary School District. The Project is also within the attendance area of Chula'Vista High School, within the Sweetwater Union High School District. The Applicant will be required to pay applicable developer fees based upon assessable area. The proposed drainage improvements for the lot will consist of maintaining the existing drainage pattern and runoff direction with the majority of the development draining near the proposed entrance along Moss Street and near the intersection of PC Resolution PCS-15 -02 August 26, 2015 Page 3 Broadway and Moss Street. A small portion of the Project Site also sheet flows into the Broadway curb and gutter system, where it is directed to the existing inlet located on Moss Street. Overall, the proposed Project will collect the existing runoff and treat it in accordance with current BMP methods and discharge to the Bio- retention basin located on Moss Street. The Project Site is within the boundaries of the City of Chula Vista wastewater services area. The existing area sewer facility system has sewer lines along Moss Street and Broadway including an existing off -site 8" sewer main, along the frontage of Broadway and Moss and an additional existing off -site 12" sewer main, along Moss Street for the proposed Project Site. The Applicant will be required to submit a final sewer study prior to connecting to the City's sewer system. 6. Open Space and Conservation The Project proposes multi - family homes that meet the minimum open space requirement per the Chula Vista Municipal Code, The Project will also be required to pay in -lieu park fees towards the acquisition and development of future parks. The development of the Project Site is consistent with the goals and policies of the Conservation Element. 7. Parks and Recreation The proposed Project would not induce significant population growth, as it is a small residential infill project and would not impact existing or proposed recreational facilities. The Project has been conditioned to pay park acquisition and development fees prior to recordation of the Final Map. 8. Safety The City Engineer, Fire and Police Departments have reviewed the proposed Project for conformance with City safety policies and have determined that the proposal meets those standards. 9. Noise The Project has been reviewed for compliance with the Noise Element and will comply with applicable noise measures at the time of issuance of the first building permit. 10. Scenic Him The Project Site is not located adjacent to or visible from a designated scenic highway. PC Resolution PCS -15 -02 August 26, 2015 Page 4 B. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66473.1 of the Subdivision Map Act, the configuration, orientation, and topography of the site allows for the optimum siting of lots for natural and passive heating and cooling opportunities and development of the site will be subject to site plan and architectural review to insure the maximum utilization of natural and passive heating and cooling opportunities. C. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66412.3 of the Subdivision Map Act, the Planning Commission has considered the effect of this approval on the housing needs of the region and has balanced those needs against the public service needs of the residents of the City and the available fiscal and environmental resources. D. The Project Site is physically suited for residential development because it is generally level and is located adjacent to existing residential developments. The Project conforms to all standards established by the City for a residential development. E. The conditions herein imposed on the grant of permit or other entitlement herein contained are approximately proportional both in nature and extent to the impact created by the proposed Project. 1II.
