(a) That the proposed plot plan density is in compliance with the provisions of the General Plan;
(b) That the design and improvement of the proposed project is in compliance with the General Plan;
(c) That the site is physically suitable for the type of development;
(d) That the site is physically suitable to tolerate the proposed density of the development; and
(e) That the design of the proposed project and the improvement will not cause substantial environmental damage.
