The proposal is consistent with the Medium Density Residential General Plan designation and applicable General Plan policies. The project proposes single family dwellings which are permitted within the R2zoning district. In addition, the project proposes a Precise Plan of Development, Site Development Permit and Subdivision in compliance with all applicable zoning codes. The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses. The proposal is within the Ukiah City limits on a property that is less than one acre in size. The site is surrounded on all sides by existing urban uses, both commercial and residential in nature. 3. The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threated species. The site is currently vacant, generally flat, and covered by invasive weeds and grasses which are routinely mowed. Existing vegetation includes grasses, shrubs, one fruit tree, and established oak trees. Minimal grading is proposed which will not substantially alter the natural grade. The project has been designed with consideration of existing trees and driplines. The Oak trees will remain to the extent feasible, with the exception of one that is recommended for removal by the City's Electric Utility Department. 4. Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. The proposed eight single family residences would be similar to the existing land uses in the immediate area. The project would not generate a significant amount of traffic or noise. The site is in a walkable area of town, on-site parking is provided and the site is located along Mendocino Transit Authority Route 7. There are no wetlands or creeks on-site. The general drainage pattern for the site is in a north-western and southeastern direction. A Preliminary Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan was prepared for the project with Low Impact Development features incorporated into the design to reduce impacts from storm water run-off and water quality. Lastly, the project has been reviewed and conditioned by several departments and agencies to reduce potential impacts from traffic, noise, air quality and water quality. 5. The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. The project site is within the City limits and is already served by City utilities and public safety agencies. 6. In addition, CEQA §15183 states, "CEQA mandates that projects which are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified shall not require additional environmental review, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project -specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site. This streamlines the review of such projects and reduces the need to prepare repetitive environmental studies."
