FINDINGS
Required finding for CEQA:
■ An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared and certified for the North 40 Specific
Plan on January 5, 2015. An Initial Study has been prepared and concludes that the
proposed Phase 1 applications are in compliance with the certified EIR.
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15163, no subsequent or supplemental
EIR is necessary. Substantial Evidence in Support of Finding: The Initial Study dated March
23, 2016, prepared by the Town provides substantial evidence that the conditions of
Sections 15162 and 15163 which could require the preparation of a subsequent or
supplemental EIR were not present.
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15168(c)(3), all feasible mitigation measures have
been incorporated into the Applications. Substantial Evidence in Support of Finding: The
Applications must comply with all applicable conditions included in the Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Plan adopted with the North 40 EIR.
As a "by right" development, additional CEQA analysis is not required because the proposal
is not a "project' as defined by CEQA.

Resolution 2017 -045 August 1, 2017
Required Compliance with the General Plan:
® The project is in compliance with the General Plan. The Staff Report for March 30, 2016
Planning Commission meeting contains the details regarding conformance with the
General Plan. The General Plan was specifically amended to conform to the North 40
Specific Plan when the Specific Plan was adopted, so conformance of the Project to the
Specific Plan also implies conformance to the General Plan. The Town's Initial Study for the
Project, dated March 23, 2016, concluded that: "The proposed project is consistent with the
North 40 Specific Plan, adopted by the Town Council on June 17, 2015. The North 40
Specific Plan was found to be consistent with the General Plan."
Required Compliance with the North 40 Specific Plan:
■ The project is in compliance with the North 40 Specific Plan including, but not limited to the
following:
Sections 1.4, Section 1.5.1, Table 2 -2, Section 2.5.2 (a)(ii), Section 2.5.4, Section 2.5.4 (d),
Section 2.5.8, Table 2 -4, Section 2.5.9, Section 2.6, Table 2 -6, and Section 4.1 Policy C5.
The Staff Report for March 30, 2016 Planning Commission meeting consistently and
properly concluded that the project complies with the North 40 Specific Plan. The Town
Council Staff Report dated August 4, 2016 also contains extensive analysis supporting the
finding that the project conforms to the Specific Plan. The Town's Initial Study for the
project, dated March 23, 2016, concluded that: "The proposed project is consistent with the
North 40 Specific Plan, adopted by the Town Council on June 17, 2015. The North 40
Specific Plan was found to be consistent with the General Plan."
Required finding for demolitions:
■ As required by Section 29.10.09030(e) of the Town Code for demolitions:
1. The Town's housing stock will be maintained as the residences will be replaced.
2. The existing structures have no architectural or historical significance, and are in poor
condition.
3. The property owner cannot maintain the structures as they exist; and
4. The existing structure would conflict with the proposed improvements.
Required Finding for reduction of non - residential setback:
■ As required by Table 2 -6 within the North 40 Specific Plan:
1. The setback provides for adequate pedestrian circulation. Substantial Evidence in
Support of Finding: The trellis does not obstruct pedestrian usage of the area, and
2. The setback is compatible with the adjacent buildings and complements the buildings in
the immediate vicinity. Substantial Evidence in Support of Finding: The trellis design is
5 of 41
Resolution 2017 -045 August 1, 2017
consistent with the adjacent buildings and the overall landscape plan for the Project.
and
The setback provides for adequate clear sight vision for vehicular traffic. Substantial
Evidence in Support of Finding: The trellis has no effect on vehicular traffic.
Required findings to deny a waiver of development standards:
® As required by paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 65589.5 of the California
Government Code for denial of a development standard waiver: None of the findings could
be made to deny the development standards waiver.
1. The modification would have a specific adverse impact upon health, safety, or the
physical environment, and there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or
avoid specific adverse impact without rendering the development unaffordable to low,
very low, and moderate income households. For the purpose of this subsection,
"specific adverse impact" means a significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable
impact, based on objective, identified, written public health or safety standards,
policies, or conditions as they existed on the date that the application was deemed
complete; or
2. The modification would have an adverse impact on any real property that is listed in
the California Register of Historic Resources; or
3. The incentive or concession would be contrary to State or Federal law.
Required findings to deny a Subdivision application:
As required by Section 66474 of the State Subdivision Map Act the map shall be denied if
any of the following findings are made: None of the findings could be made to deny the
application.
a. That the proposed map is not consistent with all elements of the General Plan.
b. That the design and improvement of the proposed subdivision is not consistent with all
elements of the General Plan.
c. That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed development.
d. That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development.
e. That the designs of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife
or their habitat.
f. That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements is likely cause serious public
health problems.
g. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within
the proposed subdivision.
6of41
Resolution 2017 -045 August 1, 2017
Instead, the Town Council makes the following affirmative findings:

specified in Section 65451. Substantial Evidence in Support of Affirmative Finding: The
proposed map is consistent with the General Plan and Specific Plan as stated in these
findings and at the hearings.
b. That the design and improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with
applicable General and Specific Plans. Substantial Evidence in Support of Affirmative
Finding: Similarly, the design and improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent
with the General Plan and Specific Plan.
c. That the site is physically suitable for the type of development. Substantial Evidence in
Support of Affirmative Finding: The EIR and the Specific Plan clearly establish that the
site is suitable for the type of development.
d. That the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development. Substantial
Evidence in Support of Affirmative Finding: The EIR and the Specific Plan clearly establish
that the site is suitable for the proposed density of development.
e. That the design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements are not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage nor substantially and avoidably injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat. Substantial Evidence in Support of Affirmative Finding: The
North 40 EIR establishes that the proposed improvements are not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife
or their habitat.
f. That the design of the subdivision and type of improvements is not likely to cause
serious public health problems. Substantial Evidence in Support of Affirmative Finding:
The North 40 EIR establishes that the design of the subdivision and the type of
improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems.
g. That the design of the subdivision and the 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. Substantial Evidence in Support of Affirmative Finding: There
are no such public easements with which the proposed subdivision or its proposed
improvements conflict.
