The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development since the proposed project and all required improvements can be provided on site, and the project would 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 urbanized area. 6. The design of the subdivision and the proposed/required improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems, since all necessary public services, facilities, infrastructure, and utilities will be provided. 7.
