c. The application is for the development of a 4,750 square foot residence with a 781
square foot garage and 519 square foot guest house on a vacant lot; and
d. The project complies with Table 17.36.010-1A of the Development Code
(Development Standards for Residential Zones)and Section 17.122.020 of the Development Code
(Hillside Development) including setbacks, lot coverage, building height, and design; and
e. Pursuant to Section 17.16.140B.1 of the Development Code,construction of one or
more single-family homes within the Hillside Overlay require approval of a Hillside Development
Review application. Pursuant to Development Code Section 17.122.020G.1.i of the Development
Code, Hillside Development Review projects which exceed a fill or excavation depth of five feet
require approval from the Planning Commission.The project includes earthwork(cut)of up to 10.34
feet in depth. The additional excavation is necessary to design the residence in a terraced
configuration with varied elevations, strategic retaining walls, and accommodation of the lot's
natural slope and terrain to ensure conformity with the site and building design standards and
guidelines for hillside development as outlined in Section 17.122.020 of the Development Code as
the site's existing slope would otherwise prevent the residence from meeting these standards.The
additional excavation will also allow for a graded, flat and useable yard area measuring at least 15
feet in any direction and a minimum of 400 square feet as required in Section 17.36.010E.2 of the
Development Code for detached single-family homes; and
f. The proposed single-family residences meets or exceeds all applicable technical
development standards for the Very Low Residential (VL)Zone and the Hillside Overlay as shown
in the table below:
Proposed Permitted Compliant
Building Height 28 feet 9 inches 30 feet (max) Yes
Front Setback 42 feet 42 feet (min) Yes
Interior Side Setbacks 10 feet/ 16 feet 6 inches 10115 feet (min) Yes
Rear Setback 136 feet 8 inches 60 feet (min) Yes
Lot Coverage 15.6% 25% (max) Yes
Earthwork 10.34 feet 5 feet (max) Yes*
*Subject to Planning Commission Approval
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced meeting and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2
above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:

a. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan.The General Plan land use
designation of the project site is Semi-Rural Neighborhood. The Semi-Rural Neighborhood
designation is intended for the development of detached single-family residences on large individual
lots. The project is for the construction of a single-family residence on an existing, vacant 0.6 acre
lot which is in keeping with the General Plan land use designation; and
b. The proposed project is in accord with the objective of the Development Code and
the purposes of the zone in which the site is located.The Very Low(VL) Residential zone is for the
development of single-family residences with a maximum residential density of two units per acre.
The proposed single-family residence is in keeping with the intent of the Very Low(VL) Residential
zoning designation. The Hillside Overlay is intended to regulate development on sites with slopes
greater than eight percent such that development is compatible with the onsite slopes. The
proposed single-family residence is compliant with the development and design standards of the
Hillside Overlay. The Equestrian Overlay designates areas for the keeping of equine, bovine, and
cleft-hoofed animals and promotes a rural/farm character within the urban setting. The proposed
project site contains local equestrian trail easements and will improve these trails to provide
equestrian access and maintain the rural character of the neighborhood; and
c. The proposed project complies with the applicable provisions of the Development
Code. The proposed single-family residence complies with all standards of the Very Low (VL)
Residential zone and Hillside Overlay such as Table 17.36.010-1A (Development Standards for
Residential Zones) and Section 17.122.020 (Hillside Development) of the Development Code,
including design, setbacks, lot coverage, grading limitations, building height, and design; and
d. The proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.The proposed single-family residence complies with the development
criteria for the zone, the Hillside and Equestrian Overlays, and is in keeping with other
developments in the surrounding area. The project, therefore, is not expected to be detrimental to
the health, safety, or welfare of the general public or materially injurious to the properties or
improvements in the vicinity.

4. Planning Department staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from
the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project qualifies as a
Class 3 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15303—New Construction or Conversion
of Small Structures,which includes construction of limited, new structures. Specifically, it allows for
the development of one single-family residence when in a residential zone. The project scope
includes the development of one single-family residence within a residential zone.As such,there is
no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment.
