The minimum lot size is 7,200 square feet for the smaller lots abutting the <br />site. <br />E. The proposed subdivision map and the design and improvement of the <br />proposed subdivision are not consistent with the general plan for the City of Colton (General <br />Plan). The General Plan designation for this area is "Low Density Residential." The purpose of <br />this designation is to encourage traditional (7,200 square foot) single family residential suburban <br />developments in detached dwellings at a density of up to eight (8) dwelling units per acre. <br />Further, the "Low Density Residential" land use designation encourages subdivisions that are <br />similar in size and shape as those that already exist in the area. The majority of the existing lots <br />in the area are 7,200 square feet and larger in size. The average land use density for the newer <br />development projects is 4.5 units to the acre. The residential density proposed for this project is <br />5.54 dwelling units per acre and with lot sizes that are less than 5,000 square feet. Thus, the <br />Application is not consistent with the surrounding uses and the General Plan land use designation <br />of Low Density Residential. <br />F. The Subject Site is not physically suitable for the type and density of <br />development proposed inasmuch as it cannot accommodate lot sizes similar to those abutting the <br />Subject Site. This subdivision allows up to five lots that may not be able to construct patio or <br />additions to the rear of the property. Also, the proposed subdivision is not consistent with the R -I <br />development standards. <br />SECTION 2. The Planning Commission hereby denies the Applications for the <br />Subject Site. <br />SECTION 3. The Planning Commission, in accordance with the California <br />Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) hereby finds that the Applications are exempt under Section <br />15270 (Statutory Exemptions). CEQA does not apply to projects which a public agency rejects or <br />disapproves. <br />SECTION 4. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption of this resolution. <br />PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 12th day of April, 2005. <br />Tony Vilches, Chairperson <br />City of Colton Planning Commission <br />I hereby certify that the foregoing is a true copy of a resolution adopted by the <br />Planning Commission of the City of Colton at a meeting held on the 12th day of April, 2005 by <br />the following vote of the Planning Commission: <br />AYES: COMMISSIONERS <br />N(1FS• (YIMMT0,STC)\M1? <br />ARCHULETA, OLIVA, PEREZ, PEREZ III, <br />PRIETO AND VILCHES <br />P A NATP EZ <br />ORANGEN)W15824.1 -2- <br />
