SECTION 2. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 66410 et seq, based
on the entire record before the City Council and all written and oral
evidence presented to the City Council, the City Council finds as follows:
A. The proposed subdivision is designed, to the extent feasible, to provide for
passive or natural heating and cooling opportunities because the lot size
and orientation does not preclude roof orientation for solar applications or
passive applications such as eave design and landscaping used for
structural shade.
B. The proposed subdivision and the provisions for its design and improvement
are consistent with the General Plan for the City of San Jacinto ("General
Plan"), because the proposed land use designation of the site is R-1 and will
be developed as a planned development to provide a mix of housing
choices as encouraged by the General Plan.
C. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and density of
development proposed by the tentative tract as determined with the
approval of the authorizing Specific Plan.
D. The subdivision design and type of improvements proposed are not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage nor substantially injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat because a mitigated Negative Declaration has been
approved which includes mitigation measures and a mitigation monitoring
and reporting program which reduces potential impacts to a level of
insignificance.
E. The subdivision design and type of improvements are not likely to cause
serious public health problems because all development and public
improvements will be performed per the requirements of all applicable
standards and codes, including the zoning and building codes.
F. The subdivision design and type of improvements proposed will not conflict
with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of
the subject site as dedications for such purposes will be required as part of
the conditions of approval.
G. The discharge of wastewater from the proposed development into an
existing sewer will not cause a violation of existing requirements prescribed
by the local water quality control board because units will be required to
obtain connection permits before occupancy.
SECTION 3. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all written and
oral evidence presented to the City Council, the City Council finds the
subdivision and improvements proposed are not subject to the
provisions of Section 66412.3 of the Government Code as it pertains to
L meeting its regional housing needs as the proposed project is part of the
Page 2 of 7
Esplanade Specific Plan which will provide a range of housing types and
prices.
SECTION 4. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all written and
oral evidence presented to the City Council, the City Council finds the
nature and extent of the dedications, reservations, impact fees, and
other exactions are reasonably related to public needs and roughly
proportional to the impacts created by the subdivision and improvements
proposed based on studies conducted prior to adopting the development
fees.
SECTION 5. An environmental analysis has been conducted that has determined
that, although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because
revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project
proponent and other effects will be mitigated to a level of less than
significant impact. Therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration and its
associated Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan are hereby
adopted.
SECTION 6. The location and custodian of the documents and any other material
which constitutes the record of proceedings upon which the City Council
based its decision is as follows: Community Development Director, City
of San Jacinto, Planning Department, 248 East Main Street, San Jacinto,
CA 92683, (951) 487-7330
SECTION 7. Effective Date. This Resolution shall become effective upon its adoption.
