f. The project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee (Wimberly, Fletcher, and
Granger) on December 17, 2013. The Committee forwarded the project to the Planning Commission
with a recommendation of approval.
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 General Plan in that the applicant is
constructing a single-family residence on a residentially zoned lot.
b. The proposed use is in accord with the objective of the Development Code and the
purposes of the district in which the site is located in that the proposed residence is in keeping with the
rural environment of the Very Low (VL) Development Districts; and
C. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code in that the project meets all development and design criteria except for the rear yard
setback for which the applicant has filed for a Variance; 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 in that the proposed single-family residence is similar in design quality and intensity to the
neighboring residences; and
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 construction of a limited number of structure including a single-family residence. The project entails
constructing a single-family residence on a residential zoned lot. Staff finds that there is no substantial
evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment, in that the proposal does not
propose modifying or expanding the existing structure. The Planning Commission has reviewed the
Planning Department's determination of exemption, and based on its own independent judgment,
concurs in the staff's determination of exemption.
