comply with the applicable development standards or has been granted the appropriate
exemptions.
5. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or
their habitat, since the site is was previously developed and is located in a completely

heating and cooling opportunities in the subdivision, based on consideration of local
climate, topography, property configuration and other design and improvement
requirements without requiring reduction in allowable density or lot coverage.

by the maintenance provisions will be sufficient to cover all contemplated costs. The
CC&Rs shall be approved as to form and content by the City Attorney.
17. Property Owners Association. A corporation, association, property owners' group, or
similar entity shall be formed with the right to assess properties that are jointly owned with
