The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 22 and all City public facility policies and ordinances. The project includes elements or has been conditioned to construct or provide funding to ensure that all facilities and improvements regarding: sewer collection and treatment; water; drainage; circulation; fire; schools; parks and other recreational facilities; libraries; government administrative facilities; and open space, related to the project will be installed to serve new development prior to or concurrent with need.

Approval of CT 00-16 will deduct 219 credits from the present balance of 404 leaving a remaining number of 185 available credits. C. The Public Facility fee is required to be paid by Council Policy No. 17 and will be collected prior to the issuance of building permit. D. All necessary public improvements, including street frontage improvements of Avenida Encinas and Poinsettia Lane, and construction of a sewer pump station have been provided or are required as conditions of approval.

(A paleontological monitor is defined as an individual who has experience in the collection and salvage of fossil materials.) The paleontological monitor shall work under the direction of a qualified paleontologist. D. When fossils are discovered the paleontologist (or paleontological monitor) shall recover them.
