1.
The
proposed map is consistent with applicable general and specific plans as
specified in Government Code Section 65451. Specifically, while the subject
property is not located in an area governed by a specific plan as specified in

required. Any future development of the parcels will be consistent with
policies set forth in the City’s General Plan.

The
design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with applicable

proposed subdivision, any future development of the parcels will be consistent
with policies set forth in the City’s General Plan.
