General Plan and applicable Specific Plan in that the resulting prevision of a
multi-purpose will replace the sidewalk and will and provide access for
pedestrian and equestrian use.
2. The design of the subdivision and the amendment thereto, and proposed
improvements are not likely to cause environmental damage or substantially and
avoidably injure fish, or wildlife, or cause serious public health problems since
the project is primarily surrounded by development, or other urban
improvements, and mitigation is required by the previous Environmental Impact
Report and Mitigated Negative Declaration.
3. The design of the proposed amendment to the map will not conflict with
easements acquired by the public at large, for access through, or use of,
property within the proposed Map since the multi-purpose trail will provide use
by pedestrians, and horse riders, etc.
WHEREAS, in the review of this amendment to the Tract, the City Council
has considered the effect of the contemplated action on housing needs of the region
for purposes of balancing those needs against the public service needs of the residents
