subdivision will create larger lots and reduce the total lot count within
Specific Plan 83-002 Amendment 3 by 5 residential lots.

Municipal Zoning Ordinance and Specific Plan 83-002 Amendment 3 for

minimum required by the RL Zoning District.

Subdivision Ordinance and Specific Plan 83?002 Amendment 3, in that
all proposed lots meet the required dimensions, with the smallest lot size
being 11 840 square feet; and design for access and circulation meets
those requirements approved for Specific Plan 83-002 Amendment 3.
4. The design of Tentative Tract Map 29003 and its related improvements,
are not likely to cause serious public health problems, or adversely impact
the general public welfare or safety, in that the Fire Department and the

issues with no significant concerns identified.

no changed circumstances or conditions exist with Tentative Tract
29003 which would trigger the preparation of a subsequent
environmental analysis pursuant to Public Resources Code Section
21166.
6. The design of the subdivision, and types of improvements, will not
conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access
through, or use of, property within the subdivision, as the proposed
