No. 17819, is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and
avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat, as no sensitive environmental habitat has been
identified.
4. That the design of the subdivision, as shown on proposed Tentative Tract Map
No. 17819, or the type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems.
5. That the design of the subdivision, as shown on proposed Tentative Tract Map
