Although the project site is over a mile from the ocean, it is also <br /> separated by other developments from the ocean. As such, the usual <br /> coastal resources concern would not be pronounced. There will be <br /> no interference with shoreline access. <br /> There will be little impact to public facilities. The public school and <br /> medical complexes are situated less than a mile away. County water <br /> is already available for the project. All on-site improvements will be <br /> constructed by the Applicant. Traffic impact based on a traffic report <br /> and as will be discussed later in this report, noted that the LOS would <br /> still continue at the acceptable levels (A, B, or C). <br /> Finally, in terms of the Land Use element, the pertinent goals, <br /> policies, and standards of the General Plan note the following: <br /> • Designate and allocate land uses in appropriate proportions and <br /> mix and in keeping with the social, cultural and physical <br /> environments of the County <br /> • The County shall encourage the development and maintenance <br /> of communities meeting the needs of its residents in balance <br /> with the physical and social environment <br /> • Zoning requests shall be reviewed with respect to General Plan <br /> designation, district goals, regional plans, State Land Use <br /> District, compatibility with adjacent zoned uses, availability of <br /> public services and utilities, access, and public need <br /> • The county shall encourage the development and maintenance <br /> of communities meeting the needs of its residents in balance <br /> with the physical and social environment <br /> In view of the foregoing goals and policies, it is noted that the <br /> requested zoning would be consistent with the Medium and Low <br /> Density designations of the LUPAG map. It would also be compatible <br /> with the surrounding area and uses. There is a mixture of urban type <br /> of uses within a mile of this area, including a school, hospital, public <br /> park, residences, and commercial uses. <br /> The soil of the site is classified "C" or fair. While it does have some <br /> measure of agricultural potential, the site's proximity to urban uses <br /> renders it unfeasible for intensive agricultural uses <br /> The property has no severe topographic or geologic problems that <br /> would render the land unusable for the proposed subdivision and <br /> activity. <br /> 14 <br />
