Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct.
2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced meeting on July 13, 2011, including written and oral staff reports,this Commission
hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to the property located at 10897 Deer Creek Drive with a
street frontage of approximately 230 feet and lot depth of approximately 192 feet and is presently
vacant; and
b. The applicant proposes to construct a single-family home of 6,776 square feet with
an attached 3-car garage of 1,175 square feet on a vacant lot; and
C. The house is architecturally compatible with the neighborhood and conforms to the
Design Guidelines outlined in the Development Code, including carrying materials and architectural
features to all elevations; and
d. The lot coverage will be 23.5 percent, which is in accordance with the maximum
allowable lot coverage of 25 percent set for the Very Low Residential District; and
e. The properties to the north, south, east, and west of the subject site are single-

Design Review when grading is limited to cut/fill totals below 5 vertical feet and 1,500 cubic yards.
Above this limitation, approval is required by the Planning Commission. In this case, the project
proposes approximately 6 feet of cut and approximately 6 feet of fill, as well as a combined total of
2,400 cubic yards of excavation and fill; and
g. The project was reviewed by the Design, Grading, and Technical Review
Committees on May 31, 2011. They recommended approval by the Planning Commission as
presented. The Design Review Committee recommended approval of the project as proposed,with
the inclusion of the two faux chimneys. The Committee indicated that the two faux chimneys
substantially add to the architecture style, and their removal would require review by the Committee;
and
h. The proposed residential use is consistent with the type of surrounding
development within the Deer Creek Housing Tract,which is in compliance with General Plan Policy
LU-2.4 as complimentary infill development is encouraged.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced public hearing 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 objectives of the General Plan; and
b. The proposed use is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code and
the purposes of the district in which the site is located; and
C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code; 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.
4. The Planning Department staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt
from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA
Guidelines. The project qualifies under the Class 3 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines
Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures)because the proposed project
involves the construction of a single-family residence. In addition, there is no substantial evidence
that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission has
reviewed the Planning Department's determination of exemption, and based on its own independent
judgment, concurs in the staffs determination of exemption.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth
below and in the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
Planning Department
