WHEREAS, a staff report was submitted recommending that the Town Council approve
the request; and
WHEREAS, the Town Council did hear and consider all reports, recommendations, and
testimony submitted in writing and presented at the hearing; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED that the Town Council of the Town of Danville adopts a Mitigated Negative
Declaration of Environmental Significance and approves of the Preliminary Development
Plan - Rezoning and the Final Development Plan - Tentative Map request per the
conditions contained herein, and makes the following findings in support of the
Preliminary Development Plan - Rezoning request:
The proposed Rezoning will substantially comply with the Town's 2005 General
Plan.
The proposed Rezoning is consistent with the Goals, Policies, and Development
Standards established under the Lawrence/Leema Road Specific Plan.
Sub Area 2, development Standard number 4 of the Lawrence Leema Road Specific
Plan, requiring a minimum 15 acre development for the first development in sub
area 2, is not applicable due to the unanticipated proposed non-residential
development of the property to the north of the subject property (Fa Yurt
Monastery) and the resulting lack of 15 contiguous acres in this area.
The residential development authorized in the land use district are compatible
within the district and to uses authorized in adjacent districts.
Community need has been demonstrated for the use proposed and the off-site
public improvements which will be contributed to by this development.
There is no evidence before the Town that the proposed project will have potential
for an adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife
depends.
and, be it further
RESOLVED that the Town Council of the Town of Danville makes the following Findings
in support of the Final Development Plan - Tentative Map request:
The proposed subdivision is in substantial conformance with the goals and policies
of the General Plan.
0
The design of the proposed subdivision is in substantial conformance with the
applicable zoning regulations.
PAGE 2 OF RESOLUTION NO. 175-95
The design of the subdivision and the type of associated improvements will not
likely cause serious public health problems because water and sanitary facilities
services will be available to the lots created by this subdivision.
The density of the subdivision is physically suitable for the proposed density of
development.
The design of the proposed subdivision and improvements are not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or subsequently injure fish or wildlife or their
habitat since this property is in an area where residential development has
previously occurred.
The design of the proposed subdivision and proposed improvements will not
conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use
of, property within the proposed subdivision.
