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, ithere is no evidence before this Planning

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 50 -lot subdivision approved
by the City Council on June 6, 1995. The project site
is located at 2827 and 2859 Water Course Drive
(Parcels F/G, Tract No. 47850) adjacent to a gated
community identified as "The Country Estates." The Oil
project site, two vacant rectangular shaped lots, has
a combined lot area of approximately 72,680 square
feet (1.67 acres) and will have a pad area of
approximately 49,550 square feet (1.14 acres.) It
contains easements within the front portion of the
lots for access/public utility and service and
sanitary sewer
(b) The project site has a General Plan- land use
designation of Rural Residential (RR) Maximum 1 DU/AC.
(c) The project site is within the Rural Residential (RR)
Zone.
(d) Generally, the following zones surround the project
site: to the north is the RR Zone; to the south is the
Agriculture (AG) Zone; to the east is the RR Zone; and
to the west is the Low Medium Residential (RIM) Zone.
(e) The Application request is to construct a two-story
single-family residence of approximately 22,752 square
feet. The total square footage includes habitable
space, balconies, porch and an eight -car garage.
Additionally, the request includes a tennis court with
lighting and fencing and retaining walls with a
2
maximum exposed height of four feet. Furthermore, the
request requires that the applicant process and obtain
approval of a Lot Merger.
4 (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).
Originally, Tract Map No. 47850 was submitted as a
vesting tentative tract map. At that time, the City
was operating under a draft General Plan. The
General Plan was adopted on July 25, 1995. Vesting
Tentative Tract Map No. 47850 was approved on June 5,
1995. However, this vesting map was designed at 25
percent below the maximum allowable density and has
an overall average density of 1.49 dwelling units per
acre which complies with the General Plan land use
designation of Rural Residential (Maximum 1 DU/AC).
Additionally, the proposed project complies with the
General Plan objectives and strategies and the City's
Design Guidelines related to maintaining the
r integrity of residential neighborhoods and open
space. Furthermore, the proposed project is
compatible with the eclectic architectural style,
colors and material of other homes within Tract No.
47850 and the adjacent "Country Estates."
(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.
Tract Map No. 47850's 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. Water Course Drive
and Steeplechase Lane and other secondary access
roads to the tract adequately serve the project site.
These streets are designed to handle minimum traffic
created by this planned residential development.
Therefore, the use of a single-family residence will
not interfere with the use and enjoyment of
neighboring existing or future development and will
not create traffic or pedestrian hazards.
(h) The architectural design of the proposed development
j is compatible with the character of the surrounding
neighborhood and will maintain the harmonious, orderly
and attractive development contemplated by
3
Chapter 22.48.20. Development Review Standards, City
Design Guidelines, the City's General Plan, or any
applicable specific plan.p
The proposed project's architectural style is
Mediterranean. The architectural features of a
portico with columns, balusters, balconies, tile
roof, stucco exterior walls with stone accents and
color scheme as amended herein are consistent and
compatible with the eclectic architectural style of
other homes in this tract, neighboring Tract No.
47851 and the adjacent "Country Estates." 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, and City Design Guidelines.
Additionally, there is not a specific plan for this
area.
(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.
01
As referenced in the above findings and the
L
colors/materials board as amended herein, 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 aesthetically
appealing while offering variety in color and texture
related to stucco, stone accent and quoins and a low
level of maintenance -
(j) The proposed development will not be detrimental to
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; and
Before the issuance of any City permits, the proposed
project is required to comply with all conditions
within the approved resolution and the Building and
Safety Division, Public Works Division, and Fire
Department requirements. The referenced agencies
through the permit and inspection process will ensure
that the proposed project is not detrimental to the
public health, safety or welfare or materially
injurious to the properties or improvements in the
vicinity.

map. At that time, the City was operating under a draft General Plan. The
General Plan was adopted on July 25, 1995. Vesting Tentative Tract Map
No. 47850 was approved on June 5, 1995. However, this vesting map was
designed at 25 percent below the maximum allowable density and has an
overall -average density of 1.49 dwelling units per acre which complies with
the General Plan land use designation of Rural Residential (Maximum 1
DLI/AC). Additionally, the proposed project complies with the General Plan
objectives and strategies and the City's Design Guidelines related to

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
