Development Review Findings DBMC Section 22.48.044
1, 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 design and layout of the proposed single-family residence is
consistent with the City's General Plan, City Design Guidelines and
development standards by complying with all of the setbacks and
requirements of the City's development code.
The project site is not part of any theme area, specific plan, community
plan, boulevard or planned development.
2. The design and layout of the proposed development will not interfere with
the use and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future developments,
and will not create traffic or pedestrian hazards:
The proposed single-family house will not interfere with the use and
enjoyment of neighboring existing or future developments because the
use of the project site is designed for a single-family home and the
surrounding uses are also single-family homes. In addition, no protected
trees exist within close proximity to the construction area of the proposed
home.
2
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2914-14
The proposed single-family house will not interfere with vehicular or
pedestrian movements, such as access or other functional requirements
of a single-family home because it complies with the requirements for
driveway widths and exceeds the minimum number of required off-street
parking spaces.
3. The architectural design of the proposed development is compatible with
the character of the surrounding neighborhood and will maintain and
enhance the harmonious, orderly and attractive development,
contemplated by Chapter 22.48: Development Review Standards, the
City's Design Guidelines, the City's General Plan, or any applicable
specific plan:
The new single-family home is designed to be compatible with the
character of the eclectic neighborhoods in The Country Estates. It is
designed in the Modern style of architecture with earth -tone shades for the
exterior finish to soften the building's visual impact and assist in
preserving the hillside's aesthetic value.
4. 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, color, and will remain
aesthetically appealing:.
The design of the new single-family home is reminiscent of Modern
influences. Consistent building elements have been achieved through the
utilization of similar architectural features and building materials. The new
home will not be intrusive to neighboring homes and will be aesthetically
appealing by integrating a variety of materials, such as flat roof tile, stone
veneer. on walls, and aluminum framing throughout the fenestration
pattern.
5. The proposed development will not be detrimental to public health, safety
or welfare or materially injurious (e.g., negative effect on property values
or resale(s) of property) to the properties or improvements in the vicinity:
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 and Public Works Departments requirements.
Through the permit and inspection process, the referenced agencies 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.
