DCM/DeStefano presented staff s report. Staff recommends Planning Commission
approval of Development Review No. 2002-11 and Minor Variance No. 2002-05,
Findings of Facts, and conditions of approval as listed within the resolution.
Hung Chou, architect, said he was commissioned by the property owners to complete
this project. He explained that he worked with staff to coordinate the plans. He
stated that he concurred with staffs report and the conditions of approval. He asked
for Commission approval.
C/Tanaka asked Mr. Chou why the plans were not drawn to place the structure
10 feet from the property line.
Mr. Chou responded that the current structure is 15 feet from the side wall. Initially,
the project was miscalculated and when they attempted to scale back the owner
wanted the living space larger and he is seeking a one -foot encroachment.
Chair/Ruzicka opened the public hearing.
There being no one who wished to speak on this matter, Chair/Ruzicka closed the
public hearing.
VC/Tye asked at what point staff determines a project must remain within the
guidelines.
DCM/DeStefano explained that in this case, the total separation between the two
houses is approximately 15 feet. Normally, a minor variance such as this one would
be handled at a staff level. It is a judgement call by staff as to what is compatible.
Typically, staff works with property owners with respect to topography, size and
shape of the property and other features that might affect livability. Staff did not feel
it was necessary to take away one foot of the project. However, this is a discretionary
matter to be decided by the Commission. In addition, other components of the size of
the project require Commission approval. The Code requires that everything be
JUNE 11., 2002 PAGE 3 PLANNING COMMISSION
bundled together and put the matter before the Conunission in a public hearing
format.
C/Nelson asked if the applicant notified his neighbor that the proposed structure
would be a foot closer to his property upon approval and completion to which
DCM/DeStefano explained that to his knowledge, staff is not aware of such
notification.
C/Nelson asked Mr. Chou if he spoke with the neighbors and presented them with the
proposed plan.
Mr. Chou said he spoke with the neighbors residing on the westerly side of the
project. The neighbor to the easterly side was not available. Notice was posted at the
job site and notices were mailed to the neighbors on the easterly side of the project.
He felt that if they objected to the variance they would have come forward and stated
their concern.
C/Nelson moved, C/Nolan seconded, to approve Development Review No. 2002-11
and Minor Variance No. 2002-05, Findings of Fact, and conditions of approval as
listed within the resolution. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote:
AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Nelson, Nolan, VC/Tye, Chair/Ruzicka
NOES: COMMISSIONERS: Tanaka
ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: None
7.2 ZONE CHANGE NO. 2002-01 (pursuant to Code Section 22.44.010-070) is a
request to change the zoning of an existing commercial area generally located south
of the Pomona (SR60) Freeway on the west side of Diamond Bar Boulevard, and
including the commercial area on Gentle Springs Lane and the north side of Golden
Springs Drive between Diamond Bar Boulevard and Prospectors Road. The current
zoning of the two areas described is a Commercial Planned Development (CPD).
The contemplated zoning for the two areas is Regional Commercial (C-3) and/or
Community Commercial (C-2) respectively. The General Plan land use designation
for the two areas is General Commercial (C). The contemplated zone change, if
approved, will be in compliance with the General Plan. The Planning Commission is
charged with conducting a public hearing and making a recommendation to the City
Council for the contemplated zone change.

JUNE 11, 2002 PAGE 4 PLANNING COMNIISSION
AssocP/Lungu presented staff's report. Staff recommends Planning Commission
adoption of a resolution recommending City Council approval of Zone Change
No. 2002-01.
VC/Tye asked for clarification about whether or not the gaming center would be
permitted under the proposed zone change.
AssocP/Lungu explained that the gaming center is currently not permitted. If the
zone change is adopted, the gaming center would be permitted through procurement
of a Conditional Use Permit.
C/Tanaka asked how a business gets established illegally.
DCM/DeStefano responded that a business gets established illegally simply by
starting operation without receiving the proper permits from the City or County,
whichever is applicable. It requires the cooperation of the property owner and the
tenants to insure that illegal operations do not occur thereby forcing the City into a
reactive mode.
C/Nolan stated that in his opinion, this zone change would allow easier access by
viable businesses to currently vacant properties.
AssocP/Lungu agreed. The zone change broadens the palate of uses and gives
various businesses the opportunity to rent vacant spaces.
C/Nolan and Chair/Ruzicka opined that whether or not a permit is approved, the zone
change would allow the Commission to address the illegal business.
VC/Tye presented an example of an ordinance that lead to the demise of certain
community events such as car washes and rummage sales. He feared that by
approving this zone change certain types of businesses that might otherwise be
prevented from opening in Diamond Bar would be allowed to open.
DCM/DeStefano explained that a speaker who recently appeared before the City
Council was misinformed about the types of activities that were allowed and
disallowed. DCM/DeStefano agreed that the City should carefully look at the list of
permitted uses, attempt to determine the worst case scenario and decide whether or
not that particular type of business would be acceptable. If the Commissioners
believe there are uses that would be harmful to adjacent properties, it may not wish to
endorse changing the property to that particular zone. Alternatively, the Commission
could approve the zone change and then immediately seek further control or
elimination of land uses that create the most concern. If there is general concern
JUNE 11, 2002 PAGE 5 PLANNING COMMISSION
regarding the palate of uses and because this is a City originated matter, this proposed
zone change isnot urgent and there is sufficient time to consider the broader uses
proposed through the zone change request.
Chair/Ruzicka opened the public hearing.
There being no one present who wished to speak on this matter, Chair/Ruzicka closed
the public hearing.
C/Nolan wondered if the City should review other shopping centers within the City to
determine whether their zoning was correct. He contemplate if by approving this
particular zone change if the City was placating the issue of an inappropriate cyber
cafe business locating in close proximity to a school.
DCM/DeStefano cautioned the Commission that this is not a matter that involves the
cyber cafd. This is a broader issue about correct zoning. The matter of the cyber cafe
should not be a reason to approve or not approve the zone change. The consideration
should be a matter of the broader palate of uses within the zoning category. He
explained how most shopping centers in Diamond Bar suffer from poor land planning
implemented by Los Angeles County.
DCM/DeStefano responded to VC/Tye that he would not recommend that the
Commission approve the C-2 Zone change and then commence to strike certain uses.
Rather, a different specific plan or zone should be considered.
DCM/DeStefano confirmed Chair/Ruzicka's assumption that adult uses would not be
allowed in the proposed zone.
C/Nolan moved, C/Tanaka seconded, to recommend City Council approval of Zone
Change 2002-01. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote:
AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Nelson, Nolan, Tanaka, VC/Tye
Chair/Ruzicka
NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None
ABSENT: COMM]:SSIONERS: None
8. PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS: C/Nelson suggested that staff
may wish to inform applicants that the Commission would ask them whether or not they have
spoken with their neighbors about their plans. In the future, he would not allow applicants to
indicate that neighbors were not available.
DCM/DeStefano suggested the requirement to post notice of the project could be modified
by posting a copy of the drawings or making a specific statement on the sign as to where
plans for the proposal can be found. With respect to notifying neighbors, there is a legal
JUNE 11, 2002 PAGE 6 PLANNING COMMISSION
requirement to notify property owners. Generally, staff does not receive comments unless
neighbors have concerns about the project. Simple notification does not necessarily require
a neighbor's support.
C/Nolan concurred with C/Nelson's comments. He is generally in favor of people improving
their properties except if those improvements alienate the neighborhood.
C/Tanaka said that absent certain exceptions in the type of property such as topography he
sees no reason to approve a variance.
Chair/Ruzicka said that his neighbor's addition met the City's Codes. However, he added a
walkout terrace on top of the addition that now overlooks his back yard and takes away his
privacy that he was once afforded. If someone had asked him in advance how his neighbor's
addition would have affected him he would have told staff or anyone else willing to listen
that his neighbor should not be able to complete such a project because it would destroy the
privacy of his back yard. In this case, he understood staff's reasoning. The encroachment
appears to be behind a wall and not involve any privacy issues.
9. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS: DCM/DeStefano clarified comments he made
during the prior Commission meeting regarding the Capital Improvement Program.

CONSENT CALENDAR: None
OLD BUSINESS: None
NEW BUSINESS:
None Offered.
6.1 General Plan Annual Report — January 1, 2001 through December 31, 2001.
DCM/DeStefano presented staff's report. Staff recommends that the Planning
Commission receive and file the report and direct staff to forward a copy to the City
Council for its review.
Chair/Ruzicka pointed out that within the top paragraph, insufficient should be two
words i.e.: in sufficient quantity, etc.
C/Tye pointed out that page 5 should indicate that traffic signals have been approved,
not installed.
JUNE 25, 2002 PAGE 2 PLANNING COMMISSION
DCM/DeStefano agreed that the paragraph needed to be reworded. Some signals
have been installed, some are approved and yet to be installed.
C/Tye moved, C/Tanaka seconded, to receive and file the report with corrections and
forward the document to the City Council for their review. Without objection, the
motion was so ordered.
7. PUBLIC HEARING(S): None
8. PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS: C/Tye asked when compliance of
the Planning Commission's approval for replacement of the chain link fence with wrought
iron at the Admin -staff building is to take place.
DCM/DeStefano responded that there was no timeline mandated for this matter to happen.
However, the City is withholding final occupancy for the parking structure until such time as
that occurs.
C/Tye asked how the City could invoke a policy requiring reader board signs to be removed
in a timely manner upon project approval. Could the City require a deposit and if the sign is
not removed within a reasonable period of time such as 72 hours or one week, have a staff
member remove the sign and deduct the amount of staff time and related expenses from the
deposit.
DCM/DeStefano felt that since the projects that have a public hearing component are hourly
rate projects wherein the City receives a deposit against which services are deducted, the City
could use $100 as the price for staff time to remove the sign. In the event the builder did not
remove the sign in the allotted time, staff would impose the "bond" for removal by the City.
He explained that staff would write an administrative policy for this particular situation and
provide it to the Planning Commission as an informational item.
The Commissioners concurred that such a policy should be formulated.
9. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS: DCM/DeStefano reported that two items are
slated for the Commission's July 9 agenda.

July 9, 2002
Development Review No. 2002-10
A request to construct a two-story single-family
residence with balconies, porch, covered patio, and
four car garage totaling to approximately 12,716
square feet
3078 Windmill Drive Road (Lot 6, Tract 48487)
C&A Developers, 3480 Torrance Boulevard, #300,
Torrance, CA 90503
Richard Gould, 3480 Torrance Boulevard, #300,
Torrance, CA 90503
The property owner, C&A Developers, and Applicant, Richard Gould, request an
Development Review approval to construct a two-story single-family residence with
balconies, porch, covered patio, and four car garage totaling to approximately 12,716
square feet.
The project's address is 3078 Windmill Drive Road, Diamond Bar, California. The project
site is the vacant Lot 6 of Tract 48487, a 15 -lot subdivision with graded buildable pads
approved by the City Council on October 20, 1995. Tract 48487 is adjacent to the Country
Estates. The irregularly shaped lot has a flat buildable pad and the balance of the lot
slopes downward to the canyon and is part of a slope, drainage and maintenance
easement. There is a sewer and 30 feet utility easement at the front of the lot. The lot is
approximately .76 gross acres. The property contains protected/preserved trees, located
outside of the buildable pad. The applicant anticipates and staff has verified that no activity
(grading and/or construction) will take place within five (5) feet of the outer drip line of these
trees; therefore, no protective fencing needs to be installed around the trees.
The project site is zoned Single Family Residential -Minimum Lot Size 20,000 Square Feet
(R-1-20,000). Its General Plan Land Use designation is Rural Residential (RR), Maximum
1 DU/AC. Generally, the following zones surround the subject site: to the north and east
is R-1-20,000; to the south is Heavy Agricultural -Minimum Lot Size 2 Acres (A-2-2); and
the west is R-1-20,000 and Single Family Residence -Minimum Lot Size 9,000 Square Feet
(R-1-9,000).
ANALYSIS:
REVIEW AUTHORITY
The proposed project is residential construction of one unit and is less than 10,000 square
feet. Therefore, it is subject to Development Review by the Planning Commission, pursuant
to the Development Code, Chapter 22.48.020.13.1. Additionally, per Planning Commission
Resolution No. 91-22, Conditional Use Permit No. 89-584 for Vesting Tentative Tract Map
No. 48487, Department of Community and Development Services, Condition No. 16, all
proposed residential dwelling units will be submitted for City review pursuant to the
requirements of the Development Review standards of the current Development Code.

_
4. Site Coverage- vera o
. ite ; e- o
The above analysis indicates that the proposed residence complies with Tract Map No.
48487's development standards.
Tract 48487 is not annexed to the Country Estates; therefore, review by their homeowners'
association approval is not necessary. The four car garage, 36.5 feet by 21, feet is
proposed for this six bedroom residence. The current code requires that a minimum two -
car garage, 20 feet by 20 feet be provided. This minimum is provided with two additional
011
bays. Comparable garage sizes have been approved under the current code. Additionally,
it is possible to park cars in the driveway. Staff believes that the proposed vehicle parking
is adequate.
• Architectural Features and Colors
The proposed project's architectural style as referenced in the application is
Mediterranean. The proposed style and palette are compatible with the eclectic
architectural style of other homes within Tract No. 48487 and the Country Estates and
consistent with the City's Development Code and Design Guidelines.
The project's architectural features include a two story portico/entry with columns and
pediment; concrete balusters around balconies at the front elevation; rear balcony/patio
cover with columns and balusters; stucco exterior and stone at the front; stucco details of
cornice and window treatments for styling. These features and the varying tile roof lines
add texture and contrast.
The following materials and colors are proposed:
Exterior stucco — Merlex, EI Dorado, P6, off-white
r Exterior trims:
Fascia/exterior doors/
Columns/balusters - Dunn Edwards, Swiss Coffee, SP836, off-white
Window Trim - Dunn Edwards, Heather, SP19, light gray
Exterior Stone - Colorado, Country Castle Black Heart, gray/beige
Roof tile - Eagle, Weathered Gray Flashed, #5594, gray
Garage doors - White
Driveway concrete - Design/color to be submitted with landscaping plans
The proposed materials/colors board was compared with previously approved boards in
the vicinity. The combinations of white and gray palette and the building's architecture
blend into the overall streetscape. Staff believes the selected materials and colors allow
variation in the overall palette and textures when compared to the other approved project
sites and therefore provide a desirable environment for its occupants, visiting public, and
its neighbors.
• Floor Plans
The proposed single-family structure consists of two -stories. The first -story includes the
two-story entry/foyer and living room with fireplace, dining room, kitchen, dirty kitchen,
pantry, breakfast room, family room with patio, bedroom with bath and walk in closet,
powder bath, laundry area with linen closet, hall bath, and the four car garage. The second -
story includes the mezzanine area; service area; library and attached conference/media
K3
room; master bedroom suite with walk -in -wardrobe, bath, and balcony; four bedrooms, all
with adjoining bath, two with a balcony, and three with walk-in closet.
• Covenant and Agreement
As with many approvals, a condition of approval has been added that the owner is required
to complete and record a "Covenant and Agreement to Maintain a Single Family
Residence" on a form to be provided by the City. The covenant must be completed and
recorded with the Los Angeles County's Recorder's Office prior to the issuance of a
building permit.
SITE WORK
• Grading/Drainage
The buildable pad was created with the tract's original grading. No additional grading over
50 cubic yards is expected and therefore the application is not subject to a Grading Permit.
However, a fine grade/drainage plan is required.
The subject development is on the building pad. However, there is a structural setback and
Special Foundation Zone on the pad. Special requirements are required for construction
by the City Engineer, as well as the noted condition of approval that the building setback
from any slopes (toe or top) meets Section 18 of the Uniform Building Code.
Retaining Wall
The plans indicate a retaining wall at the north slope with no details. The buildable pad will
be enlarged via a cut into the slope and a retaining wall. It is a condition of approval that
the retaining wall not -exceed a maximum exposed height of 6 feet high. The Public Works
Division will review plans and calculations to be submitted for the wall.
Previous applications requesting the extension of the buildable pad have been approved
on a case-by-case basis. The Development Services Department reviews such items as:
the type of easements on the lot, the wall's impact -to surrounding properties, and the
structural design of the retaining wall including the height and whether it is holding a cut
or a fill. This extension is not in a Slope Drainage Maintenance Easement, the maximum
6 feet height is compatible with development standards, the wall holds a cut, and the wall
is visible to the project site's property owner. Additionally, the conditions of approval
require the retaining wall to be stucco to match the dwelling or slump stone to enhance the
decorative aspect.
n
VIEW IMPACT
The terrain in the vicinity of Windmill Drive is hilly. The subject site is in the middle of the
tract and at a lower elevation than its northerly neighbors are. By maintaining the allowed
height requirements, the proposed residential structure allows view corridors for the
neighboring properties. Therefore, the proposed residence will not be significantly
detrimental with respect to view blockage impact.
LANDSCAPING
A landscape/irrigation plan was not submitted with this project's application. The applicant
is required to submit landscape/irrigation plans at a later date, reflecting the landscaping
guidelines and restrictions set forth by Tract Map No. 48487 for the City's review and
approval. In recently approved projects for this tract, the applicant was required to submit
a landscape/irrigation plan delineating the type of planting materials, color, size, quantity
and location, for review and approval by the City within 60 days of the project's final
inspection or Certificate of Occupancy's issuance, and installation within six months.
Driveway color and style will be incorporated in the landscape plan.
BUYERS' AWARENESS
A condition of approval for Tract No. 48487 requires the preparation of a "Buyers'
Awareness Package". This includes, but is not limited to:
1. Information pertaining to geologic issues regarding the properties;
2. Wildlife corridors;
3. Oak and walnut preservation issues;
4. The existence and constrains pertaining to Significant Ecological Area No. 15 and
Tonner Canyon;
5. Explanatory information pertaining to restrictions on use of the properties as
necessary;
6. And, similar related matters.
A program was instituted to include delivery of a copy of the "Buyers' Awareness Package"
to each prospective purchaser. This program incorporated a signed receipt by the
prospective purchaser verifying receipt of the Package and that the prospective purchaser
read the information within the Package. This program also required that a copy of this
receipt be forwarded to the City. To ensure the effectiveness of this program, it will be a
condition of approval that the applicant submits to the City a copy of this receipt signed by
the prospective buyer before the issuance of Certificate of Occupancy. In the event no
buyer has purchased the property, then receipt is to be forwarded before approval of future
improvements (i.e. hardscapes, pool/spa, retaining walls, additional landscaping.)

B. Resolution
NOW, THEREFORE, it is found, determined and resolved by the Planning
Commission of the City of Diamond Bar as follows:
1. The Planning Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set
forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct.
2. The Planning Commission hereby determines that the project identified
above in this Resolution is consistent with the previously certified Master
Environmental Impact Report No. 91-2 for Tract Nos. 47850, 47851 and
48487 according to the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA)
DRAFT
and guidelines promulgated thereunder, pursuant to Section 15162(a) of
Article 11 of the California Code of Regulations. No further environment
review is necessary.
3. The Planning Commission hereby specifically finds and determines that,
having considered the record as a whole including the findings set forth
below, and changes and alterations which have been incorporated into and
conditioned upon the proposed project set forth in the application, there is no
evidence before this Planning Commission that the project proposed herein
will have the potential of an adverse effect on wild life resources or the
habitat upon which the wildlife depends. Based upon substantial evidence,
this Planning Commission hereby rebuts the presumption of adverse effects
contained in Section 753.5 (d) of Title 14 of the California Code of
Regulations.
4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth herein, this Planning
Commission, hereby finds as follows:
(a) The project's situs address is 3078 Windmill Drive Road, Diamond
Bar, California. It is the vacant Lot 6 of Tract 48487, a 15 -lot
subdivision with graded buildable pads adjacent to the Country
Estates approved by the City Council on October 20, 1995. The
irregularly shaped lot has a flat buildable pad and the balance of the
lot slopes downward to the canyon and is part of a slope, drainage
and maintenance easement. There is a sewer and 30 feet utility
easement at the front of the lot. The lot is approximately .76 gross
acres.
The property contains protected/preserved trees, located outside of
the buildable pad. The applicant anticipates and staff has verified that
no activity (grading and/or construction) will take place within five (5)
feet of the outer drip line of these trees; therefore, no protective
fencing needs to be installed around the trees.
(b) The project site is zoned Single Family Residential -Minimum Lot Size
20,000 Square Feet (R-1-20,000) and Heavy Agricultural Zone (A-2-
2). Its General Plan Land Use designation is Rural Residential (RR),
Maximum 1 DU/AC.
(c) Generally, the following zones surround the subject site: to the north
and east is R-1-20,000; to the south is Heavy Agricultural -Minimum
Lot Size 2 Acres (A-2-2); and the west is R-1-20,000 and Single
Family Residence -Minimum Lot Size 9,000 Square Feet (R-1-9,000).
2
DRAFT
(d) The application is a request to construct a two-story, single-family
residence with balconies, porch, covered patio, and four car garage
totaling to approximately 12,716 square feet.
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
(e) The design and layout of the proposed development are consistent
with the General Plan, development standards of the applicable
district, design guidelines, and architectural criteria for specialized
area (e.g., theme areas, specific plans, community plans, boulevards,
or planned developments.
Originally, Tract Map No. 48487 was approved as Vesting Tentative
Tract Map in June 1992. At that time, the City was operating under a
draft General Plan. The General Plan was adopted on July 25, 1995
and the Final Tract Map No. 48487 was approved on October 20,
1995. However, Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 47850 was
designed at 25 percent below the maximum allowable density and
has an overall average density of 1.33 dwelling units per acre which
complies with the land use designation of Rural Residential (Maximum
1 DU/AC) identified in the adopted General Plan. Additionally, the
proposed project complies with the City's General Plan objectives and
strategies related to maintaining the integrity of residential
neighborhoods and open space, and the City's Design Guidelines.
The project is consistent with the Tract Map's Development
Standards. Furthermore, the proposed project is compatible with the
eclectic architectural style and design, materials, and colors of
existing homes within the surrounding area. There is no specific or
additional community planned development for the site.
(f) The design and layout of the proposed development will not interfere
with the use! and enjoyment .of neighboring existing or future
development will not create traffic or pedestrian hazards.
Tract Map No. 48487s Master Environmental Impact Report No. 91-2,
certified by the City, addresses the design and layout of the
neighborhood as well as the flow of pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
The project site is an undeveloped lot within an approved tract
designed for single-family homes.
Windmill Drive and access roads in the vicinity, Wagon Train Lane
and Steeplechase Lane, adequately serve the project site. These
K
DRAFT
private streets are designed to handle minimum traffic created by
residential development. Therefore, the use of a single-family
residence will not interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring
existing or future development will not create traffic or pedestrian
hazards.
(g) The architectural design of the proposed development is compatible
with the characteristics of the surrounding neighborhood and will
maintain and enhance the harmonious, orderly and attractive
development contemplated by Chapter 22.48, the General Plan, City
Design Guidelines, or any applicable specific plan.
The project's architectural features include a two story portico%ntry
with columns and pediment, concrete balusters around balconies at
the front elevation; the rear balcony/patio cover with columns and
balusters; stucco exterior and stone at the front, stucco details of
cornice, and window treatments for styling. These features and the
varying tile roof lines add texture and contrast.
The proposed materials/colors board was compared with previously
approved boards in the vicinity. The combinations of off-white and
gray palette and the building's architecture blend into the overall
streetscape. The selected materials and colors are consistent and the
style is compatible with the eclectic architectural style of other homes
in neighboring Tract 47851, 47850, and the Country Estates, yet allow
variation in the overall palette and textures. Therefore, the proposed
project is consistent with and will maintain and enhance the
harmonious, orderly and attractive development contemplated by
Chapter 22.48, the General Plan, City Design Guidelines. There is no
applicable specific plan.
(h) The design of the proposed development will provide a desirable
environment for its occupants and visiting public, as well as its
neighbors, through good aesthetic use of materials, texture, and -color
that will remain aesthetically appealing.
As referenced in the above findings, colors, materials, and textures
proposed are complimentary to the existing homes within the area
while offering variety and low levels of maintenance. Therefore, the
proposed project will provide a desirable environment for its
occupants and visiting public, as well as its neighbors, through good
aesthetic use of materials, texture, and color that will remain
4

DRAFT
aesthetically appealing. Additionally, a Covenant and Agreement is
required and runs with the land to maintain a single-family residence.
(i) The proposed project will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety, or welfare or materially injurious (e.g., negative affect on
property values or resale(s) of property) to the properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
Structural plan check, City permits, and inspections; soils report and
Fire Department approvals, are required for construction. These
processes will ensure that the finished project will not be detrimental
to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to the
properties or improvements in the vicinity.
Additionally, the terrain in the vicinity of Windmill Drive is hilly. The
subject site is at the middle of the tract and at a lower elevation than
its northerly neighbors are. By maintaining the allowed height
requirements, the proposed residential structure allows view corridors
for the neighboring properties. Therefore, the proposed residence will
not be significantly detrimental with respect to view blockage impact.
(j) The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The environmental evaluation shows that the proposed project is
consistent with the previously certified Master Environmental Impact
Report No. 91-2 for Tract Map Nos. 47850, 47851 and 48487
according to the Califomia Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA)
and guidelines promulgated thereunder, pursuant to Section 15162(a)
of Article 11 of the Califomia code of Regulation. No further
environmental review is necessary.
Based upon the findings and conclusion set forth above, the Planning
Commission hereby approves this Application subject to the following
conditions:
