Resolution No. 01-048
Page 2 of 24
a. The application applies to property located along the south side of Camino Predera
with a street frontage of 3,300 feet and lot depth of 260 feet and is presently vacant; and
b. The property to the north of the subject site is vacant and developed with
single-family homes, the property to the south consists of vacant land and abandoned rail corridor
(future regional multi-purpose trail), the property to the east is developed with single-family homes,
and the property to the west is vacant and developed with condominiums; and
C. The potential environmental impacts related to air quality,tree removal, noise,and
geological hazards can be mitigated to a level of less than significant through compliance with the
recommended environmental mitigation measures; and
d. The proposed homes are of very high architectural design quality with 360-degree
enhancement; and
e. The project is designed with a majority of the homes set well below the level of the
street,thereby preserving existing views far beyond what is typically achieved elsewhere in the City;
and
f. The design includes a sophisticated retaining wall system that allows landscaping
to be planted on the surface of walls, intensified slope landscaping, and decorative block walls that
will enhance the visual quality of the project; and
g. The project is designed to be consistent with all requirements of the Hillside
Development Regulations with the exception of slope gradient and retaining wall height for which a
Variance application has been requested; and
h. The project will enhance the surrounding area by virtue of high quality home and
landscaping design that exceeds that of the area; and
i. The project fosters provident use and development of existing lots of record; and
j. The grading design includes rounded slopes to provide a softer, more natural
appearance.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Council during the above-
referenced public hearings on March 7, 2001 and March 21, 2001, including, but not limited to,
written and oral staff reports, the minutes of the above-referenced Planning Commission meetings,
the contents of Planning Commission Resolution No. 01-11,and togetherwith public testimony,this
Council hereby specifically finds as follows with reference to points raised by the appellant and by
the project developer:
a. The proposed project differs from the design associated with the Design Reviewfor
Tract 10035 approved by the Planning Commission in 1987, but this previous approval has since
expired and has no bearing on the current project; and
b. The home design associated with the Design Review for Tract 10035 approved by
the Planning Commission in 1987 is of a split level concept, however the design would not have
Resolution No. 01-048
Page 3 of 24
substantially preserved views for the appellant, and would have far greater overall view impacts for
the neighborhood than would occur with the current project application; and
C. The proposed homes will be no higher than 24 feet above the mid-point of the curb
line of Camino Predera,consistent with the view obstructions section of the Covenants, Conditions,
and Restriction for Tract 10035; and
d. A majority of the homes will be located below, very near, or nominally above the
curb line of Camino Predera; thus maximizing view preservation for a majority of the existing
neighborhood and future home sites on the north side of Camino Predera, far in excess of what
would be achieved via conformance with tract CC&R's; and
e. The project will enhance the surrounding area by virtue of high quality home and
landscaping design that exceeds that of the area; and
f. The conceptual plans submitted for review by the Design Review Committee and
Planning Commission have been found to accurately reflect the existing conditions in the area and
the proposed project design with the exception of one sight line cross section shown on Sheet 7B
which, while included in the overall set of exhibits, was not relied upon during Design Review
meetings nor the Planning Commission hearings; and
g. The developer, Concordia Homes, has presented a revised development scheme
whereby the homes on Lots 4 and 5 can be substantially lowered relative to Camino Predera and
the existing surrounding homes to address view impact concerns raised by the appellants.
4. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Council during the above-
referenced public hearings on March 7, 2001 and March 21,2001,and upon the specific findings of
fact set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, this Council hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. That the proposed project is consistent with the objectives of the General Plan in
that it includes high quality residential design appropriate to the site and neighborhood;
b. That the proposed design is in accord with the objectives of the Development Code
and the purposes of the district in which the site is located in that it is responsive to the
environmental resources of the site, promotes development that preserves views to the degree
possible for existing homes, and minimizes the impact of grading through the creative use of
landscaping and specialized retaining wall construction;
C. That the proposed design is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of
the Development Code;
d. That the proposed design, 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 it minimizes potential fire, seismic, and flood related hazards.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Council hereby denies the appeal, upholds the action of the Planning Commission, and
approves the application subject to all Conditions of Approval contained in the attached Planning
Resolution No. 01-048
