The design of the subdivision is in substantial conformance with the goals and policies of the Danville 2030 General Plan. 2. The design of the subdivision is in substantial conformance with the applicable zoning regulations. 3. The design of the subdivision and the type of associated improvements are in conformance with the surrounding developments. 4. A deferred improvement agreement would allow for the Town to require undergrounding utilities in front of 943 Camino Ramon when other properties to the north along Camino Ramon are also undergrounding utilities. 5. The proposed project will exceed the on -site parking requirement as specified within the Town's Multiple Family Residential Ordinance even with the loss of the six shared parking spaces.
