E , 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).
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 integrity of residential neighborhoods and open
space. Furthermore, the proposed project is
compatible with the eclectic architectural style,
colors and materials 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. Steeplechase Lane
and Crystal Ridge Road and other access roads to the
tract adequately serve the project site as presented
in the Environmental Impact Report. These private
streets are designed to handle minimum traffic
created by this gated residential development.
Therefore, the use of a contemplated 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.
3
(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?jj%i
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/focal point
of the residence is the front entry with Corinthian
type columns supporting the hip roof. The proposed
residence has a side access (facing Steeplechase Lane)
adjacent to the morning room. It mimics the front
entry, but on a smaller scale. An interesting aspect
of the proposed residence is that the garage entry
faces the rear of the project site, thereby not a
focal point at the front. Furthermore, architectural
treatment extends to all sides of the proposed
residential structure. Considering the proposed
residence's location, variation in earth tone colors,
difference in roof material and variation in
architectural styles between the proposed residence
and existing residences within the tract, the 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 the
harmonious, orderly and attractive development
contemplated by Chapter 22.48.20. Development Review
Standards, City Design Guidelines, the City's General
Plan. Additionally, as approved the proposed project
will be compatible with Vesting Tract Map No. 47850's
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.
As referenced in the above findings and the
colors/materials board, 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, texture and a low level of `v
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.
(k) 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
Environmental Impact Report No. 91-2 for Tract Map
Nos. 47850, -47851 and 48287 according to the

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
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 integrity of residential neighborhoods and open space.
Furthermore, the proposed project is compatible with the eclectic architectural style,
colors and materials of other homes within Tract No. 47850 and the adjacent
"Country Estates.ff
(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. Steeplechase Lane and Crystal Ridge Road and
other access roads to the tract adequately serve the project site as presented in the
Environmental Impact Report. These private streets are designed to handle
minimum traffic created by this gated residential development. Therefore, the use of
a contemplated 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 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/focal point of the residence is the front
entry with Corinthian type columns supporting the hip roof. The proposed residence
has a side access (facing Steeplechase Lane) adjacent to the morning room. It
mimics the front entry, but on a smaller scale. An interesting aspect of the proposed
residence is that the garage entry faces the rear of the project site, thereby not a
focal point at the front. Furthermore, architectural treatment extends to all sides of
the proposed residential structure. Considering the proposed residence's location,
variation in earth tone colors, difference in roof material and variation in architectural
styles between the proposed residence and existing residences within the tract, the
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 the harmonious,
orderly and attractive development contemplated by Chapter 22.48.20. Development
Review Standards, City Design Guidelines, the City's General Plan. Additionally, as
approved the proposed project will be compatible with Vesting Tract Map No.
47850's 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.
As referenced in the above findings and the colors/materials board, 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, texture and a low
level of maintenance.
Q) 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.
(k) 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 Environmental Impact Report No. 91-2 for Tract Map Nos.
47850, -47851 and 48287 according to the California Environmental Quality Act
