NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Poway as
SECTION 1: The above recitals are true and correct.
SECTION 2: The project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), as Class 32 Categorical Exemption, pursuant to Section 15332 of the CEQA
Guidelines, in that the project involves the division of land of a previously developed project site
that is less than 5 acre in size and is located within an urbanized area served by required utilities
and public services. The proposed project is consistent with all City codes and standards and
does not result in any significant effected related to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.
SECTION 3: The findings, in accordance with the State Subdivision Map Act
(Government Code Section 66410 et. seq.) for TTM18-005, are made as follows:
A. That the proposed subdivision map is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land
uses and programs of the General Plan in that it proposes to create six residential lots at
a density that is consistent with the General Plan designations and Poway Municipal Code
(PMC) standards.
B That the design of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan in that the
approved lot sizes and configurations adhere to the development standards of the General
Plan and PMC.
C. That the site is physically suitable for the type of development in that the site is large
enough to provide six lots meeting size standards and the two existing residences will be

That the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development in that the site
is large enough to provide six residential Tots meeting size standards.
E That the design of the subdivision is not contrary to the policy of the State legislature as
stated in Chapter 1, commencing with Section 21000, of the State Public Resources Code,
and will not likely cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably
injure fish or wildlife or their habitat in that the project site has been previously developed
with two homes and residential landscaping and does not contain any native habitat. No
development is proposed as a part of this project, except the demolition of two existing
single-family residences, grading for future building pads, and installation of retaining and
noise walls.
F That the design of the subdivision is not likely to cause serious public health problems in
that City water and sewer services are available to the site.
G. That the design of the lot division will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public
at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision in that the
subdivision can occur without obstructing or otherwise impacting existing or new
easements.
SECTION 4: The findings, in accordance with Government Code Section 66020 for the
public improvements needed as a result of the proposed development to protect the public health,
safety and welfare, are made as follows:

elements of the Poway General Plan, as well as City Ordinances, because all necessary
facilities will be available to serve this project.
