The map is consistent with the City's General Plan. 2. The design of the subdivision is consistent with the City's General Plan. 3. The site is physically suitable for existing development and proposed construction of a parking structure; the land is flat and it is located in a developed area with existing streets, utilities, residences and commercial activities located adjacent to this site. 4. The site is suitable for the present density of development; other projects of similar density have been constructed and are compatible with the area. 5. The design of the subdivision will not cause substantial environmental damage. 6. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause serious public health problems because all the necessary utilities and services presently serve the project. 7. The design of the subdivision will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large for access through, or use of, property within the proposed subdivision because no easements, acquired by the public at large, are located on the project site. 8. The discharge of waste from the subdivision into the existing community sewer system will not violate existing requirements prescribed by the local regional water quality control board pursuant to Division 7 of the Water Code. 9. No park land dedication or in lieu fees are required for this subdivision because the Subdivision Map Act specifically excludes condominium projects which consist of the subdivision of air space in existing apartment complexes which are more than five years old, when no new dwelling units are added. -' . ; I I 1 J ~ . . .. . , Page Two - Resolution Number ~ NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Seal Beach does hereby approve Tentative Tract Map No. 10295 subject to the following conditions: 1.
