project's design will meet all applicable City standards. The proposed project will provide a safe, attractive, affordable, and cost-effective environment for the future residents. 3. That the site is physically suitable for the density of development. The proposed Tentative Parcel Map will consolidate two parcels for development purposes. The proposed project's Floor -Area Ratio of 2.0 will be within the maximum Floor -Area Ratio permitted in the Commercial land use designation of the Redlands General Plan and Town -Center Historic (TC-H) District of the Downtown Specific Plan (Specific Plan No. 45). Due to the design and operational character of the proposed project, Floor -Area Ratio is the appropriate index to measure the proposed density/intensity of use(s). The project site's topography is predominantly flat and level, and the design of the map will generally follow with the existing grade of the project site and will not require an excessive amount of grading or ground contouring. In addition to the multifamily residential structure, the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed perimeter improvements, open space areas, landscape areas, public roads and walkways, pedestrian improvements and amenities, and other site design features. 4. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The City retained an environmental consultant to fully analyze the project, prepare an Initial Study, and review technical reports provided by the applicant. An Initial Study/Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment document has been prepared in accordance with current State law, and is recommended for the project. There are no environmental effects or impacts that cannot be mitigated to a level of less than significant, and there is no information or evidence of any potentially significant environmental impacts. Mitigation measures are included with the environmental documents, and will be included as Conditions of Approval for the project. 5. That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems. The proposed Tentative Parcel Map will consolidate two parcels for development purposes and is designed to accommodate the multifamily residential project. The subdivision is not likely to cause any serious public health problems, as the project is designed with public and private improvements that comply all applicable City and State building and fire codes. The project's operational activities are not expected to generate any significant detrimental emissions or odors, dust, vibration, or hazardous conditions. Construction noise during various phases will not significantly affect nearby commercial, residential, or City properties because noise will be mitigated to a level that is less than significant. 3 I:AResohaionsARes 8300-8399A8391 Vantage One CRA 911 and TPM.doc
