B. The overall development of the land is designed for the protection of the public
health, safety, and general welfare.
The overall design of the single-family homes, including the site, building, parking,
circulation and other associated site improvements, are consistent with the design
guidelines and development code. The proposed single-family homes have been
reviewed for, and as conditioned, have been found to be consistent with all applicable
policies, guidelines, standards and regulations intended to ensure that the development
will be constructed and function in a manner consistent with the public health, safety and
welfare.

the placement of the homes on the lots in relation to applicable zoning requirements, as well as
an assessment of the design of the homes in relation to applicable performance standards
and/or design guidelines. The results of this process have no potential for impacting the
environment in a significant manner. Consequently, the project is exempt from environmental
review and is not subject to CEQA provisions under Section 15182 Residential Projects to the
