1. The proposed subdivision, including its design and improvements, and with the
conditions imposed under Conditional Use Permit No. 2015-05804, is consistent with the Low

subdivision.
3. The design of the subdivision, with the conditions imposed under Conditional Use
Permit No. 2015-05804 and Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference,
is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish
or wildlife or their habitat because no sensitive environmental habitat has been identified on the
site.
4. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements is not likely to cause
serious public health problems, since any new structures and associated site improvements will
be constructed on the property in compliance with the conditions imposed under Conditional Use
Permit No. 2015-05804 and Exhibit B attached hereto, as well as other related Code
requirements.
5. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the
proposed subdivision.

substantial evidence to support the actions taken and the findings made in this Resolution, that
the facts stated in this Resolution are supported by substantial evidence in the record, including
testimony received at the public hearing, the staff presentations, the staff report and all materials
in the project files. There is no substantial evidence, nor are there other facts, that detract from
the findings made in this Resolution. This City Council expressly declares that it considered all
evidence presented and reached these findings after due consideration of all evidence presented
to it.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the aforesaid findings and
determinations, this City Council does hereby approve Tentative Tract Map No. 17882,
