TENTATIVE TRACT MAP FINDINGS. Based upon the foregoing facts and findings (Section 17.03.030 of the Unified Development Code) for Tentative Tract Map 67310, the City Council hereby determines as follows: a. The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions. for its design and improvement, is consistent with the Santa Clarita General Plan, this Code, and/or any specific plan. The subject property maintains a General Plan land use designation of RS (Residential Suburban) with an implementing zoning classification of RS (Residential Suburban). As defined by the City's Unified Development Code, the RS zone "corresponds to the single-family detached tract home at a density of up to five and no tenths (5.0) dwelling units per gross acre. Additional uses are permitted that are complementary to, and can exist in harmony with, a residential neighborhood (Section 17.11.020.E)." The proposed project implements the policies and goals of the City's General Plan, more specifically, Policy 6.2 of the Land Use Element, which states, "Continue to provide for the development of new housing while ensuring that the character, scale, and density of new residential development is sensitive, compatible, and complimentary to existing residential neighborhoods; " and, Policy 6.3 of the Land Use Element, which states, "Provide for the retention and maintenance of existing residential neighborhoods, which are primarily developed with single-family homes and ensure that new development is compatible with and complementary to existing development in terms of scale, architecture, and density. " The proposed tentative tract map is consistent with the General Plan because the residential parcels created would support the development and construction of four single-family residences, which would be complimentary to, support, and ensure compatibility with the existing surrounding single-family residential neighborhood. The proposed parcels are consistent with the surrounding parcels regarding the General Plan land use designation, zone classification, lot areas, and land uses. The future development of the parcels would be residential uses consistent with the scale of development in the surrounding neighborhood and will comply with the development standards as set forth in the Unified Development Code. b. The site is physically suitable.for the type of development. The subject property is zoned RS and is physically suited for the subdivision of one residential parcel into four residential parcels. The proposed subdivision will comply with the RS development standard requirements regarding density, minimum gross lot area, and minimum net lot areas and widths. Future construction and development of single-family residences for the subject parcels shall comply with the Unified Development Code development standards pursuant to the RS zone at the time of building permit approval. Site preparation for TTM 67310 includes grading, drainage, and street improvements. There are no physical constraints on the site which would prohibit the creation of four parcels. The four parcels created by this map will range in net lot size from 6,657 square feet to 8,600 square feet. The minimum net lot size in the RS zone is 5,000 square feet. C. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development. TTM 67310 proposes the subdivision of one residential parcel into four residential parcels and would comply with the City's development standards for residential development in the RS zone regarding maximum allowable density, minimum gross and net lot area, lot widths, property line setbacks, existing services, and improvements surrounding the site. The project site is located in the Happy Valley neighborhood of Newhall and is flat in topography and is not located on or near a hillside. The proposed subdivision consists of one (1) key lot and three (3) flag lots off of 8th Street, which is consistent with other flag lot subdivisions on adjacent 8th Street and Valley Street and throughout the Happy Valley neighborhood. d. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish and vi,ildlife or their habitat. An Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration were prepared for the proposed project and concluded the design of the subdivision will not cause substantial enviromnental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish and/or wildlife species or their habitat. The Mitigated Negative Declaration identifies project mitigation measures regarding Biological Resources. All potential impacts related to biological resources are reduced to a level of less . than significant with the incorporation of the mitigation measures as identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration. e. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious health. problems. The design of the subdivision is consistent with the development surrounding the subject property and will not cause serious health problems with the proposed development. The proposed subdivision will not introduce hazardous material or other harmful substances on the subject property that will create health problems with the proposed project. All future improvements shall be required to meet all necessary development standards and building and safety codes at time of fonnal submittal. Future structures built on the proposed parcels would meet UDC standards, such as setbacks, height, etc. All potential impacts related to biological resources are reduced to a level of less than significant with the incorporation of the mitigation measures as identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration. Therefore, the proposed tentative tract map will not cause serious health problems. f. The design of the subdivision or 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. The submitted tentative tract map proposes to subdivide one residential parcel into four residential parcels and will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. Currently, there are two easements of record that traverse the subject property, more specifically proposed Parcel No. 4. These include an easement to Los Angeles County Flood Control District and an easement to Los Angeles County for sanitary sewer purposes. The proposed subdivision would not conflict with these easements as the proposed building pad location on Parcel No. 4 would not be located over or encroach onto these easements. In addition, prior to recordation of the final tract map, reciprocal ingress/egress, utility, landscape and common area easements within the proposed subdivision shall be granted to all property owners and maintained by the HOA. SECTION 4. OAK TREE PERMIT FINDINGS. Based upon the foregoing facts and findings, the City Council hereby determines as follows: a. The conditionn or location of the oak tree(s) requires cutting to maintain or aid its health, balance or structure. No oak trees are proposed to be removed with this subdivision. Pursuant to Section 17.17.090 of the Unified Development Code, the City of Santa Clarita requires the preservation of all healthy oak trees unless compelling reasons justify the removal of such trees. The policy shall apply to the removal, pruning, cutting and/or encroachrrnent into the protected zone of oak trees. There are two native oak trees (Coast Live Oak) on-site with two native oak trees located on adjacent properties to the west and to the north. Encroachment impacts into the protected zone and minor pruning of these four oak trees located on or adjacent to the subject property are a result of proposed roadway and grading as identified in the Oak Tree Report for TTM 67310 prepared by Jan C. Scow Consulting Arborists, LLC. Mitigation measures are identified in the Oak Tree Report and the Mitigated Negative Declaration. An Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration were prepared for the proposed project and concluded the design of the subdivision and the roadway and drainage construction will not cause environmental damage to the oak trees and existing vegetation on the subject property. The Mitigated Negative Declaration identifies project mitigation measures regarding the oak trees located on the subject property. All potential impacts related to the oak trees are reduced to less than significant with the incorporation of the mitigation measures as identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration. b. The condition of the tree(s) with respect to disease, danger of falling, proximio� to existing lots, pedestrian walk -Ways or interference with utility, services cannot be controlled or remedied through reasonable preservation and/or preventative procedures and practices. An Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration were prepared for the proposed project and concluded the design of the subdivision and the roadway construction will not cause environmental damage to the oak trees and existing vegetation on the subject property. At the time of project submittal, Oak Tree No. 73 was identified as an oak removal. As directed by the City, the applicant has revised the proposed driveway to be five feet further away from the trunk of Oak Tree No. 73, thereby eliminating any safety concerns and preserving the oak tree. The Mitigated Negative Declaration identifies project mitigation measures regarding the oak trees located on the subject property. All potential impacts related to the oak trees are reduced to less than significant with the incorporation of the mitigation measures as identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration. C. It is necessary to remove, relocate, prune, cut or encroach into tlae protected zone of an oak tree to enable reasonable use of the subject propero) which is otherwise prevented by the presence of the tree and no reasonable alternative can be accommodated due to the unique physical development constraints of the property. No oak trees are proposed to be removed with this subdivision. Encroachment impacts into the protected zone of four oak trees Iodated on or adjacent to the subject property are a result of proposed driveway, grading and drainage construction as identified in the Oak Tree Report for TTM 67310 prepared by Jan C. Scow, Consulting Arborists, LLC. Mitigation measures are identified in the Oak Tree Report and the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
