PUBLIC HEARING: 8.1 Development Review No. 2000-09 (pursuant to Code Sections 22.48.020) is a request to construct a three story (two stories and a basement) single family residence with a three car garage and balconies totaling to approximately 11,560 square feet. The request also includes a swimming pool/spa, gazebo and retaining walls with a maximum six-foot height. PROJECT ADDRESS: 2718 Steeplechase Lane (Lot 54, Tract No. 30289) Diamond Bar, CA 91765 PROPERTY OWNER: Palazzo, Inc. P.O. Box 5170 Diamond Bar, CA 91765 APPLICANT: An -Chi Lee 3740 Campus Drive #B Newport Beach, CA 92660 AssocP/Lungu presented staff's report. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Development Review No. 2000-09, Findings of Fact and conditions of approval, as listed within the resolution. An -Chi Lee, Architect, explained the elevation design features of the proposed project. C/Tye asked how the Architect proposes to change his plans if easement access is denied. Mr. Lee explained that it is almost impossible to design a house on this lot. The buttress fill on Steeplechase Lane is about 20 feet higher than the street and access would require the removal of a very large amount of dirt which could compromise the neighbors properties. Access denial could render the project unfeasible. VC/Zirbes opened the public hearing. JULY 11, 2000 PAGE 3 PLANNING COMMISSION Hank Jong, ET4 Associates, 11823 Slauson Unit 18, Sante Fe Springs, project soil engineer, explained that the actual number of truckloads of dirt that will be exported from the project site is 400 cubic yards for a total of 30 to 40 truckloads. DCM/DeStefano stated that the estimate of 2300 cubic yards of export contained within staff's report is based upon the drawings that were provided by the applicant. Mr. Jong explained that when the buttress is cut down, some means of protection for the adjacent property such as installation of a structure member must be initiated. If this cut is required in lieu of the current access, it is feasible, but it will result in a substantial increase in cost to develop the lot. Mr. Jong explained to C/Tye that when the buttress is cut away, as long as sufficient safety measures are incorporated in the design of the lot adjacent lots should remain stable. The key is to provide sufficient support to replace the mass that is being removed. Jim Stroffe, Attorney at Law, Friedman, Peterson and Stroffe, representing the property owner, said he became aware of the access road situation very recently. The access road runs in front of approximately seven properties and accesses Steeplechase Lane at two points. The buttress fronts all of the lots and is approximately 20 feet high at the project site. Mr. And Mrs. Roberts, property owners of Lot 52, have indicated to staff that they are opposed to traffic going across their lot via the access road. Each property owner facing the access road owns their portion of the access road. The concern is use and not ownership. This road represents an access easement for the benefit as well as, to the detriment of each of the property owners because all of the other property owners are benefitted by the right to travel across that easement on property owned by adjacent owners. He stated that to his knowledge, this is an unrecorded "easement by implication." This "easement by implication" was litigated by the Roberts' when they tried to prevent access over their property by the Slokums who were the previous owners of Lot 53 property. That lawsuit resulted in a judgement in favor of the Slokums, a decision by the Trial Court that there was an easement by implication for the benefit of all of the parcels. The decision was appealed by the Roberts and the Appellate Court affirmed the Trail Court's decision that an easement by implication did in fact exist. That same logic would apply to all of the owners. In his view, there is no question that the access road is in fact, an easement and all of the property owners have a right to use that road in order to get access to Steeplechase Lane. Beatriz Roberts, 2690 Steeplechase Lane, said that an easement by implication requires continuous usage for more than five years. There is no maintenance agreement for the easement with the property owners and they are concerned about the deterioration of her driveway area and JULY 11, 2000 PAGE 4 PLANNING COMMISSION related liability issues. She stated that when they purchased their property they were not advised about this situation. She suggested that the easement be divided into two easements. Attorney Stroffe said he believes that a restriction of the easement would require the consent of all of the involved property owners. He address Mrs. Roberts' concerns. The Roberts' may incur liability if they knowingly fail to maintain their portion of the road. Any one of the owners can maintain the road and all of the property owners have an obligation to contribute to the maintenance of the road. He believes the best solution is to gate the roadway and make it a restricted roadway for the sole use of the property owners. C/Tye stated that it appears that Mr. and Mrs. Roberts have the least use of the roadway and will suffer the maximum burden of maintenance according to the direction of vehicular traffic. VC/Zirbes closed the public hearing. C/Ruzicka said he does not believe the Planning Commission has the authority to determine who has the legal right of access nor what percentage of use is attributable to individual property owners. C/Ruzicka moved, C/Tye seconded, to continue Development Review No. 2000-09, Findings of Fact, and conditions of approval, to August 8, 2000 in order to allow time for the following issues to be resolved: 1) the accessability of the easement road and 2) determination of the specific amount of dirt export. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Kuo, Ruzicka, Tye, VC/Zirbes NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: Chair/Nelson 8.2 Preparation of a new General Plan Housing Element: DCM/DeStefano presented staff's report. The City is in the process of preparing a Housing Element for planning period 2000-2005. The purpose of this presentation is to provide an overview of the Housing Element development process and to present to the Planning Commission the draft Housing Element prior to its submission to the State of California. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission review the Draft Housing Element and direct staff as appropriate. A formal draft Housing Element will be reviewed at a public hearing to be scheduled for September or October 2000. JULY 11, 2000 PAGE 5 PLANNING COMMISSION Karen Warner, Project Manager, Cotton/Beland/Associates (CBA), provided the Commission with:,a detailed overview of the Housing Element process and presentation of the Draft Housing Element for the Commission's review. VC/Zirbes asked where the city is deficient in its current Housing Element. Ms. Warren responded that the original Housing Element was not certified by the State. The main outstanding issue at the time were the sites. At that time the State was not supportive of inclusionary housing programs. The current State leadership supports inclusionary programs where thein lieu fees are not extraordinarily high. DCM/DeStefano stated that Diamond Bar was required to come up with almost 800 dwelling units in the five year planning period. As the Commission knows, there is very limited space in Diamond Bar. However, the City provided the State with graphics and textural support to show where the housing would likely occur. The State said that while Diamond Bar has shown it can comply, there still are not enough sites, particularly for high density units. Ms. Warren responded to C/Ruzicka that the climate within the State government has not changed dramatically - their perspective on inclusionary housing has changed dramatically. It will continue to be difficult to obtain certification because the City does not have a track record in terms of affordable housing so it needs to prove why it is going to be different now. There needs to be a committal. The City has a Redevelopment Agency now which will start generating some set aside funds for housing. In her opinion, the City needs to establish which programs make the most sense for Diamond Bar and have a clear commitment to those programs in the Housing Element. C/Ruzicka asked what the consequences would be if the Housing Element was also not certified this time. DCM/DeStefano responded that the City's goal is to obtain certification and to not have to worry about what the consequences might be which can be dire in the extreme case. Ms. Warren pointed out that HUD provides a "Teacher Next Door" and "Officer Next Door" programs which provide very low cost housing for those individuals who purchase homes within the.community. Housing costs in Diamond Bar are quite high. This program tends to work in lower cost areas. ' JULY 11, 2000 PAGE 6 PLANNING COMMISSION Ms. Warren responded to C/Tye that the City's numbers are very reasonable. If the City can come up with the right programs that make sense and commit the City to those programs, the Housing Element should be approved. VC/Zirbes asked if the 67 low and moderate income housing units be accomplished in a senior housing program to which Ms. Warren responded affirmatively as long as there were other programs that addressed non -senior needs as well. VC/Zirbes said he believes that first time home buyer programs will be difficult in Diamond Bar with its median price range for single family dwellings. The Teacher Next Door program and being able to provide housing for faculty members of Mount San Antonio, Cal Poly Pomona or other neighboring colleges would be a favorable option. C/Tye asked if the inclusionary housing in lieu fee places a burden on the developer who passes it along to the buyer which puts affordable housing out of reach. Ms. Warren responded that the State wants to review the fees to make certain that they are reasonable. An economist argues that if the market will only supporta certain sales price and the developer has to pay the lieu fee it will not allow him to charge more for the unit because the price is market driven. The in lieu fee will cut into the developer's profitability as a cost of doing business. Ms. Warren suggested that the City might want to consider doing a senior housing overlay on some of the multi -family sites and identify the types of incentives that are available on these sites which shows a more focused approach to encouraging senior housing on those sites and would provide a good supplement to the current density bonus ordinance. C/Ruzicka said that if the Commission favors emphasizing the senior population he would like to have more substantial and up to date figures on the substantial and dramatic increase in that population segment that has occurred since the 1990 census. VC/Zirbes moved, C/Ruzicka seconded, to direct staff to incorporate the Commissioner's comments into the Housing Element proposal. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Kuo, Ruzicka, Tye, VC/Zirbes NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: Chair/Nelson JULY 11, 2000 PAGE 7 PLANNING COMMISSION PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS: None Offered. 9.

The request also includes a tennis courtwith recreational lighting, swimming pool/ spa and retaining walls with a maximum exposed six-foot height. 2688 Blaze Trail (Lot 1, Tract No. 51169) Diamond Bar, CA 91765 Jerry Yeh Horizon Pacific 2707 Diamond Bar Boulevard Diamond Bar, CA 91765 The property owner, Jerry_Yeh is requesting approval of Development Review No. 2000-05 (pursuant.to Code Section 22.48.020) in order to construct a three-story (two stories and a basement) single-family residence with a with a six car garage, covered patios and balconies totaling to approximately 14,742 square feet. The request also includes a tennis court with recreational lighting, swimming pool/spa and retaining walls with a maximum exposed six- foot height. 1 The project site is part of a 13 lot residential subdivision approved by the City Council in November 1994. The subdivision allowed for the creation of buildable pads for each lot and mitigation monitoring slopes that provided the opportunity to replace natural habitat destroyed by the project's development. The project site, an existing vacant lot located at 2688 Blaze Trail (Lot 1, Tract No. 51169) within a gated community identified as "The Country Estates". The project site is irregular shaped. It is approximately 67,956 gross square feet with a buildable pad area of approximately 26,572 square feet. According to Tract Map No. 51169, the project site contains an easement for slope and drainage maintenance purposes in the front portion of the project site adjacent to Blaze Trail and in the southeast (side/rear) portion of the project site. The slope drainage easement is planted with some native vegetation.. Also within the front portion of the site adjacent to Blaze Trail are easements for access, sanitary sewer, public utility and public services. The project site has a General Plan land use designation of Rural Residential (RR) Maximum 1 DU/AC and zoning designation of Single Family Residence -Minimum Lot Size 20,000 Square Feet (R-1-20,000). Generally, the following zones surround the project site: to the north and west is the R-1-20,000 Zone; and to the south and east is the R-1-20;000 and Heavy Agricultural (A-2-2) Zones. ANALYSIS: Development Review The City's Development Code sets forth a Development Review process. The purpose of this process is to establish consistency with the General Plan through the promotion of high aesthetic and functional standards to complement and add to the economic, physical, and social character of the City. The process will also ensure that new development and intensification of existing development -yields- a --pleasant living, working, or shopping -- - environment and attracts the interest of residents, workers, shoppers and visitors as the result of consistent exemplary design. Pursuant to Development Code Section 22.48.020, an application for Development Review is required for residential projects, which involve construction on a vacant parcel and new structures, additions to structures, and reconstruction projects which are equal to 50 percent or greater of the floor area of existing structures on site, or have a 10,000 square feet or greater of combined gross floor area. The proposed residential project is on a vacant lot with a gross floor area of approximately 14,742 square feet. As such, this project requires Development Review and the Planning Commission is the review authority.

The proposed project complies. with all the 'required City development standards. Architectural Features and Colors The proposed residence's architectural style is Mediterranean. This style is compatible with other residences within Tract No. 51169 and 'The Country Estates" due to the eclectic architectural style that is existing in this area. A materials/colors board has.been_submitted which delineates the following: ♦ Exterior stucco walls: ® Typical Stucco —Villa X-79 (Base 100), Medium Beige; ♦ Roof tile: 0 MCA Clay Tile - Mediterranean Blend #13307 ♦ Balusters 0 Precast concrete - White; 4 Window Frame: ♦ Pella Windows - White frame; "The Country Estates" homeowners' association architectural committee has approved the proposed materials/colors board and architectural plans. The proposed roof and stucco colors are a variation of earth tones with white as an accent color. The proposed materials offer a variety of textures. The materials/colors board has been compared with projects previously approved on adjacent lots within this Tract. The comparison indicated that the materials and colors are varied. As a result, the proposed project will provide a desirable environment with good aesthetic use of materials, textures and colors that will remain aesthetically appealing while offering variety. Prominent architectural features for the proposed residence include the style and arrangement of the windows, varied planes utilized on each elevation and six Corinthian type columns that flank the front entry. The prominent architectural features (except the columns) extend -to all sides_of the proposed residential structure, Floor Plan A floor plan is included as part of Exhibit "A". The proposed single-family structure's basement contains a lobby, six car garage with a hobby room, mechanical room, computer room, game room, mini theater,, maid's bedroom, two bathrooms, sauna, wine cellar and two storage rooms. The first floor contains an entry, living room, formal dining room, library, parent's room with sitting room and bathroom, kitchen with an adjacent wok kitchen, nook, bar, pantry, tatami room, bedroom, two bathrooms and two exterior patios. 4 The second floor contains a master bedroom suite with bathroom, wardrobe, sitting room, and exterior balcony, all-purpose room with exterior balcony, laundry,room, four bedroom (two have an exterior balcony), four bathrooms, powder room and small storage area. A total of eight bedrooms are proposed with a six car garage. The vehicle parking area of the garage measures 50 feet by 47 feet, thereby making it possible to park more than six cars with tandem parking. Alsoy it will be possible..to parking several cars in the driveway. Therefore, staff believes that the number bedrooms in relationship to the number of parking spaces that will be provided offer adequate parking for the proposed project. Grading The grading plan indicates that the proposedproject would generate approximately 1,500 cubic.yards of cut and 1,500 cubic yards of fill in order to create a pad for the proposed tennis court and approximately 829 cubic yards of cut for the .driveway and motor court. Additionally, approximately 1,924 cubic yards of cut will occur for the basement excavation. .Therefore, the total earthwork for this project is estimated to be 5,753 .cubic yards. In this case, cut and fill will not be balanced on site and exportation of earth will occur. Retaining.Walls/Walls Several retaining Walls/walls are proposed as follows: O Two foot high property line wall with six foot high wrought iron fence on top; total height — eight feet; ♦ Three and a half foot high wall within the 25 foot front yard setback, adjacent to the driveway; ♦ Two foot high wall with six foot high wrought iron on top within ,the front portion of the site and not within the front yard setback; ♦ Two retaining walls, two and four feet high with a three and a half foot separation, adjacent to the driveway and residence and not within any setback; ♦ A five foot high retaining wall adjacent to the motor court between the tennis court and rear stairway and not within any setback; ♦ Two retaining walls, four and six feet high with a four foot separation, between the motor court and residence within the rear of the project site and not within any setback; and 5 ® Tennis court retaining walls (not within any setbacks), varying in height from zero feet adjacent to the motor court to six feet; additionally, fencing with a maximum height of nine feet will be place upon the retaining walls. Pursuant to Code, the maximum exposed retaining wall/wall height within the rear and side yard is six feet. In the front yard, the maximum exposed height is 42 inches. All wall heights comply with the Code except for the property line wall, which is proposed at eight feet high (two foot high wall with six foot high wrought iron). In order to comply with Code, it is required that the wall/wrought iron fencing be reduced to a six foot height. Tennis Court/Lighting As an accessory structure, a tennis the same setbacks as a residential comparison matrix above, the tennis required Code setbacks. court .is required to maintain structure. Referenced in the court setbacks comply with the Pursuant to Code, tennis court light fixtures are not to be located closer than 10 feet to the adjacent property line and not more than 18 feet from the court surface. In this case; the light fixtures are more than 10 feet from adjacent property lines and 18 feet from the court surface. The Code also requires that not more than one light fixture per 900 square feet of surface be allowed, with maximum eight fixtures per court. The applicant proposes eight fixtures. However the court is 5,940 square feet, thereby allowing 6.6 fixtures or a total of seven fixtures. The light poles are required by Code to have a five-foot extension arm and shielded in a manner that completely cuts off the light source when viewed from any point five feet or more beyond the property line. The incident light level at a property line is required to not exceed one -footcandle measured from grade. at a 12 -foot height. The incident light level upon any habitable building on an adjacent property shall not exceed .05 footcandle. The applicant will be required to demonstrate the incident light levels and the one - footcandle measurement. _Additionally, it -is- required --that court- - - lighting not be operated between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m, on weekdays and between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. The applicant proposes to finish the court surface with a non -reflective coating. Mitigation Monitoring Lot 1 contains mitigation monitoring areas that are located within the slope drainage easement facing Blaze Trail and the southeast (side/rear) portion of the property. The mitigation monitoring areas of Lot 1 are represented in the Mitigation Monitoring Landscape plans prepared by Craig Webber and Associates and approved for Tract No. 51169. According to Mitigation Monitoring Landscape Plan, Lot 1 should contain oak trees, walnut trees, pine trees, and shrub material. However, the mitigation monitoring landscaping for Tract No. 51169 has evolved to where specified amounts of walnut trees and oak trees are not, planted on each particular lot. The mitigation area is considered as a whole. The total numbers of trees are now provided within the whole mitigation area and not a specified amount on a particular lot. A site visit revealed that along with some shrubs and hydroseeding, Lot l's mitigation monitoring area contains nine walnut trees (planted in five -gallon size) about one and a half years ago. No oak trees were observed on Lot 1. Three 24 -inch box size Mondale pines are planted on the slope adjacent to Blaze Trail. This front slope needs to be replanted and/or re-hydroseeded when the proposed project is completed, thereby complying with the Mitigation Monitoring Landscape Plan. A tennis court is proposed within the southeast (side/rear) slope. As a result, the mitigation monitoring landscaping will be disturbed. The tennis court will encroach approximately 45 feet to 69 feet into this slope. For Tract Nos. 47850 and 47851, which have similar situations, the City has allowed buildable pads to be extended with the City Engineer's approval as long as retaining walls not taller than six feet are utilized to create the pad extension. For the proposed project, retaining walls will not exceed six feet in exposed height. Therefore, it may be possible for the applicant to construct the tennis court on the slope. However, it would require that the walnut trees and shrubs be replaced somewhere.else on Lot 1. If all the walnut trees cannot be replaced on Lot 1, it is possible to locate them somewhere else within Tract No. 51169's mitigation monitoring area. The applicant has employed Bob Perry and Associates, to assist in the progress with the mitigation monitoring. According to Mr. Perry, the nine walnut trees can be relocated late fall, early winter, when dormant. Mr. Perry suggested that for every tree that is relocated, the applicant plant an additional five -gallon walnut tree. Mr. Perry feels that with his guidance, the applicant is working diligently and achieving progress with the mitigation monitoring. Good quality seeds are being used along with weeding and appropriate watering. Mr. Perry will continue to assist the applicant with the mitigation areas. It is required that the applicant submit a landscape plan for Lot 1's slope drainage easement areas indicating the re-hydroseeding, shrub replacement, and walnut tree relocation, and the addition of one five gallon walnut tree for every tree that is being relocated, for the City's review and approval before the issuance of any permits. The required planting materials for the mitigation monitoring slopes shall be installed and,what;cannot fit on site shall be installed elsewhere on Tract No. 55169 prior to final inspection or Certificate of Occupancy. Landscaping/Irrigation A conceptual landscape plan was submitted with this project's application. The applicant is required to submit a final landscape plan with an irrigation pian for the City's review and approval prior to the issuance of any City permits. It will be required that the landscaping and irrigation be install prior to final inspection or Certificate of Occupancy.

'This Planning Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 1. 2. The Planning Commission hereby finds that the project`' identified above in this Resolution is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and guidelines set forth thereafter pursuant to Section 15303(a) of Article 19 of Chapter 3, Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. 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 on the findings and conclusions set forth herein, this Planning Commission hereby finds as follows: (a) The project relates to a 13 -lot subdivision approved by the City Council in November 1994. The project site is an existing vacant lot within a gated community identified as the "The Country Estates." The project site is irregular shaped and is approximately 67,959 gross square feet with a pad area of approximately 26,572 square- feet. According to Tract Map No. 51169, the project site contains easements for slope and drainage maintenance purposes in the front portion of the project site adjacent to Blaze Trail and in the southeast (side/rear) of the project site. Also within -the front- portion -of the project site adjacent to Blaze Trail are easements for access, sanitary sewer, public utility, and public services. Additionally, the slope and drainage maintenance easements contain planting materials as listed within the approved Mitigation Monitoring Landscape Plan. (b) The project site has a General Plan land use designation of Rural Residential (RR) Maximum 1 Dwelling Unit 1 DU/AC. (c) The project site is within the Single Family Residence -Minimum Lot Size 20,000 Square Feet (R-1- 20,000) Zone. 2 (d) Generally, the following zones surround the project. site: to the north and west is the R-1-20,000 Zone; to the south and east is the R-1-20,000 and Heavy Agriculture (A-2-2) Zone; (e) The Application request is to construct a three-story (two -stories and a basement) single-family residence with a six car garage, balconies and covered patio for a total- of approximately 14,742 square feet. The request also includes a tennis court with recreational lighting, swimming pool/spa and retaining walls with an exposed height of six feet. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW (f)The design and layout of the'proposed development is consistent with the applicable elements of the City's General Plan, City Design Guidelines, and development standards of the applicable district, design guidelines, and architectural criteria for special areas (e.g., theme areas, specific plans, community plans, boulevards or planned developments). The proposed project complies with the elements of the adopted General Plan, dated July 25, 1995, and the land use designation of- Rural Residential. The proposed project complies with the City's General Plan objectives and strategies relating to maintaining the integrity of a residential neighborhood. The proposed design and layout is compatible with the eclectic architectural style, design, and materials/colors of existing homes within Tract No. 51169 as well as the "The Country Estates." Additionally, the applicant has obtained "The Country Estates" architectural committee approval to ensure compatibility. (g) The design and layout of the proposed development will not interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future development and will not create traffic or pedestrian hazards. The project site includes a single family residence, which is similar in design and layout to surrounding single -family residences. It is. not expected to unreasonably interfere with the use and the enjoyment of neighboring existing or future development and will not create traffic or pedestrian hazards. Blaze Trail adequately serves the project, which is a private street designed to handle minimum traffic created by this type of development. Furthermore, 3 the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for Tract' Map No. 51169 addressed the issue of this development's effect on traffic and circulation. The EIR was certified, thereby, determining that the Tract would not create traffic or pedestrian, hazards. Staff has reviewed the floor plan and specifically noted the number of bedrooms with adjacent bathrooms in relationship to the number of parking spaces provided in the garage. Staff believes the parking that is provided in relationship to the number of bedrooms is adequate for this project. (h) The architectural design of the proposed development is compatible with the character of the surrounding neighborhood and will maintain the harmonious, orderly and attractive -development contemplated by Chapter 22.48.20.. Development Review Standards, City Design Guidelines, the City's General Plan, or any applicable specific plan. A proposed prominent architectural feature for the residence includes the style and arrangement of the windows, the varied planes utilized on each elevation and the six Corinthian type columns that flank the front entry. The prominent architectural features, except for the columns, extend to all sides of the proposed residential structure. The proposed materials offer a variety of textures. As a result, the proposed project will provide a desirable environment with good aesthetic use of materials, textures and colors that will remain aesthetically appealing while offering variety. Therefore, the architectural design of the proposed development is compatible with the character of the surrounding neighborhood and will -maintain- -a -- harmonious, orderly, and attractive development contemplated by Chapter 22.48.20, development review standards, City Design Guidelines, and the City's General Plan. Additionally, as proposed, the project will be compatible with Tract Map No. 51169 approved development standards. (i) 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 and will retain a reasonably adequate level of maintenance.
