In accordance with Section .580(B) of the Zoning Ordinance, the Planning Commission must make the findings below in order to approve Tentative Tract Map (TRACTMAP 14391-2020).

The granting of the Tentative Tract Map is consistent with the Pomona General Plan and all applicable requirements of the R-2 (Low Density Multi-Family) Zone.

2. The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the general plan and applicable specific plan.
The design and improvements of the proposed subdivision are consistent with the General Plan in that on-site improvements will be constructed in accordance with City standards. In addition, the project design, which is intended for multiple-family residential development, provides street improvements consisting of a two-way left turn lane on Philips's Blvd, new driveway approach, sidewalk, curb and gutter.
3. The site is physically suitable for the type of development.
The site is physically suitable for the development in that the proposed subdivision is planned for multiple-family residential development. Given the shape and topography of the site, at approximately 0.9 acres in size, the subdivision design accommodates adequate land for 12 dwelling units, accompanying driveways and open space areas to service the development. Further, the site is relatively flat which will allow for minimal grading and compatible building pad heights with adjacent properties surrounding the project site.
4. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development.

5. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
The proposed subdivision will comply with the policies and regulations of the Pomona City wildlife or their habitat as Class 32 supporting studies have been conducted to ensure there is Code and General Plan and will not cause substantial environmental damage or injure no impact to biological resources.
6. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems.
The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements are not likely to cause serious problems to public health because the building and infrastructure improvements shall be constructed to conform to all City standards. The adopted City standards relating are designed to protect the public health and welfare and have been approved by the City.
7. 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.
