Section 2. Based upon substantial evidence presented to this City Council with regard to the Application, including written staff reports, verbal testimony and development plans, the City Council hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The request for extension of time limit for a total of 12 additional months for TPM 2020-124 will not be: (1) detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the persons residing or working within the neighborhood of the proposed development or within the city, or (2) injurious to the property or improvements within the neighborhood or within the city. Subject to compliance with the attached Conditions of Approval set forth in Attachment "1.A." of the staff report (Attachment A to this Resolution) and by this reference incorporated herein and Standard Development Requirements, the project complies with all applicable code requirements and development standards of the "R-3" High Density Residential Zoning District and Title 22, and with other applicable regulations of the Placentia Municipal Code (PMC). b. The proposed use is consistent with the City's General Plan.
The General Plan Land Use designation for the subject site is high-density residential, and the proposed use does not involve any change in the allowable land use of the subject site. The proposed project involves the development of an improved 0.19 -acre parcel with a two-story, multi -family housing development containing three (3) residential condominium units consistent with the "R-3" High Density Residential Zone and the General Plan.
c. The proposed project as presented in the staff report and accompanying plans complies with all requirements of Chapter 23.21 of the PMC. City Staff carefully examined the proposed development against the applicable development regulations prescribed in Title 23 (Zoning Ordinance), and determined it to be in substantial compliance. The proposed subdivision includes Conditions of Approval and Standard Development Requirements to ensure full compliance with applicable code requirements.
d. Conditions necessary to secure the purposes of this section, including guarantees and evidence of compliance with conditions are made part of this Tentative Parcel Map approval. Attachment "1.A" of the staff report (Attachment A to this Resolution) contain Conditions of Approval and Standard Development requirements specific to this application in order to provide assurances that the proposed subdivision and related on and off-site improvements are in compliance with applicable requirements of the PMC.
e. That the proposed map is consistent with the General Plan.
The proposed Tentative Parcel Map is to subdivide three (3) residential townhome units for condominium purposes on a 0.19 -acre improved lot. The proposed map is consistent with all polices, programs, and goals of the General Plan. f. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use Resolution R-2022-41

of property within the proposed subdivision. As part of the review of the application, an extensive record research was completed. Additionally, the application submitted a preliminary title report with their application. Although several easements have been found, they are mostly for utility access only.
g. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed
improvements is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure wildlife or their habitat. The subject site is an underutilized property that only has limited vegetation. There are no known areas within the City that host wildlife or their habitat.
Section 3. a. The City Council of the City of Placentia found that TPM 2020-124 is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), Public Resources Code §§ 21000 et seq., the State CEQA Guidelines, 14 C.C.R. §§ 15000 et seq., and the Environmental Guidelines of the City of Placentia pursuant to the State CEQA Guidelines § 15332 (Class 32 — Infill Development Projects) as the permit would be issued to an infill development project on a qualified site of less than five acres in size; b. The City Council finds and determines that, based upon the findings set forth above and below, and changes and alterations which have been incorporated into and conditioned upon the proposed project, no significant adverse environmental effects will occur; and
c. The City Council finds that facts supporting the above-specified findings are contained in the staff report and exhibits, and the information provided during the public hearing conducted with respect to the Application.
Section 4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth herein, the City Council hereby approves the request for an extension of time for a total of 12 additional months for Tentative Parcel Map 2020-124, as modified herein, and specifically subject to the conditions set forth in Attachment "1.A." of the staff report (Attachment A to this Resolution) attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein.
