A. That the proposed map is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans.

B. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans.

C. That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development.

D. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.

E. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements is likely to cause serious public health problems.

F. That conflicts with public access easements exist, in accordance with Section 66474(g) of the Subdivision Map Act.

G. That the design of the subdivision does not provide, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision.

Examples of passive or natural heating and cooling opportunities include subdivision design which permits orientation of a structure in an east-west alignment for southern exposure and subdivision design which permits orientation of a structure to take advantage of shade and prevailing breezes.

In providing for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities in the design of a subdivision, consideration shall be given to local climate, to contour, to configuration of the parcel to be divided and to other design and improvement requirements, and such provisions shall not result in reducing allowable densities or the provisions of a lot which may be occupied by a building or structure under applicable zoning in force at the time the tentative map is filed.

For the purposes of this section, "feasible" means capable of being accomplished in a successful manner within a reasonable period of time, taking into account economic, environmental, social and technological factors. (Ord. 5793-NS § 2 (part), 1987)
