Planning Commission Resolution No. 2014-22
Development Review Findings (DBMC Section 22.48.040)
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 fagade remodel and two-story
addition consisting of 9, 690 square feet of floor area and 394 square feet of
patio/balcony area to the existing single family residence is consistent with
the City's General Plan, City Design Guidelines and development standards
by meeting all required setbacks except the front setback due to an existing
nonconforming front setback of 15 feet where 20 feet is required, side
setbacks of five feet on the south side and 5'-5" on the north side, where -
five feet is required on one side and 10 feet on the other side; and
nonconforming distances to the structures on the adjacent fats of I V-10" to
the north and 1 V-6" to the south where 15 feet is required. The addition is
proposed at the rear of the residence. The proposed addition does not
further encroach into the front and side setbacks . or the .distance to the
structures on the adjacent lots, in addition, the applicant is proposing to
update the colors and materials of the fagade to match the modern
architecture of the proposed addition at the rear of the home, but will be
retaining the existing architectural and building form.
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 addition 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 on-site.
The proposed addition 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 is a continuation of an existing use.
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.

Planning Commission Resolution No. 2014-22
The architecture of the existing residence is a 1960s tract design with
decorative half-timbering, stucco, and a Dutch gable roof with flat concrete
tiles. The applicant is proposing to retain the existing building form and
preserve the architectural form of the other houses in the neighborhood, but
is introducing a modern and innovative design by transitioning from the
original architecture at the front of the house to a modern architectural style
at the rear of the house.
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 existing single-family home is 1960s tract home. The
applicant is proposing to retain the existing building form and preserve the
architectural form of the other houses in the neighborhood, but Js
introducing a modern and innovative design by transitioning from the
original architecture at the front of the house to the modern architectural
style of the addition at the rear of ,the house. The two-story addition is
proposed to be located to the east (rear) side of the existing residence,
setback 67 feet, 3 inches from the rear property line. The addition complies
with the minimum 15 -foot distance requirement from the home on the
adjacent lot to the south and does not further encroach into the existing 1V-
10" distance to the structure on the adjacent property to the north, and
therefore, the addition will not negatively affect the adjacent neighbors.
Therefore, the addition will be visually integrated into the existing home and
not negatively impact the look and character of the neighborhood.
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.

Planning Commission Reso€ution No. 2x14-22
Minor Conditional Use Permit Findings DBMC Section 22.56.040
1. The proposed use is allowed within the subject zoning district with the
approval of a Minor Conditional Use Permit and complies with all other
applicable provisions of this Development Code and the Municipal Code.
The existing single-family dwelling is a permitted use in the RLM zone. A
Minor Conditional Use Permit (MCUP) is requested to allow a second -story
addition to an existing nonconforming structure with a front setback of 13'-
5" (where 20 feet is required), side setbacks of 5'-5" to the north side
property line and five feet to the south side property line (where 10 feet is
required on one side and five feet on the other), and nonconforming
distances to the structures on the adjacent lots of 11'-6" to the structure to
the south and 11'-10" to the structure to the north (where 15 feet is required).
The substandard distance from the structure to the front and side' property
lines and the distance to the structures on the adjacent lots renders the
project nonconforming. The addition of a nonconforming structure requires
approval of a Minor Conditional Use Permit because the addition is greater
than 50 percent of the existing home and is not limited to the ground floor.
The proposed addition consisting of 1,690 square feet of floor area and
394 square feet of patio/balcony area to an existing two-story home
complies with the development standards of the RLM zone and will not
further encroach into the nonconforming front and side setbacks or the
distance between structures on adjacent lots.
2. The proposed use is consistent with the general pian and any applicable
specific plan.
The proposed addition to a single-family dwelling unit is consistent with the
City's adopted General Plan. The site is not subject to the provisions of any
specific plan.
3. The design, location, size and operating characteristics of the proposed use
are compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity.
The existing single-family dwelling and the proposed addition consisting of
1, 690 square feet of floor area and 394 square feet of patio/balcony area
will not further encroach into the existing nonconforming front setback of
13'-5" feet to the front property line, 5'-5" to the north side property line and
five feet to the south property line, and nonconforming distances to the
structures on the adjacent lots of 11'-6" to the structure to the south and
11'-10" to the structure to the north. The proposed project is located at the
rear of the home. The design, of the existing single-family dwelling and the
proposed addition are compatible with the character of the existing homes
in the neighborhood because there will not be any additions or changes to
the roof style at the front of the house.
5
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2014-22
In addition, the applicant is proposing 12 to 18 -foot tall bamboo along both
side property lines to create a visual buffer and screening due to any
potential privacy concerns that may arise because of the proposed second
story balconies.
4. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and density/intensity of
use being proposed including access, provision of utilities, compatibility with
adjoining land uses, and the absence of physical constraints.
The subject site is physically suitable for the existing single-family
residential dwelling and the proposed addition. The existing and proposed
use of land is consistent with the surrounding land uses. The proposed
addition of floor area is consistent with the development standards for the
RLM zone and will not further encroach into the existing nonconforming
front and side setbacks or the distance to the structures on the adjacent
lots. The addition is located at the rear of the house where it will not be
visible from the street and there are no additions or changes to the roof style
at the front of the house.
5. Granting the Minor Conditional Use Permit will not be detrimental to the
public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare, or materially injurious
to persons, property or improvements in the vicinity and zoning district in
which the property is located.
The granting of the Minor Conditional Use Permit will allow the addition of
the existing single-family dwelling unit in a manner similar with existing
dwelling units located in the surrounding neighborhood. The proposed
expansion of the dwelling unit will not negatively impact the public interest,
health, safety convenience or welfare.
6. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions
of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as set forth under Article 19
Section 15301 (e) (additions to existing structure) of the CEQA Guidelines.
Based upon the findings and conclusion set forth above, the Planning Commission hereby
approves this Application, subject to the following conditions:
Development shall substantially comply with the plans and documents
presented to the Planning Commission at the public hearing.
