Findings for Design Review
(Section 23.08 Municipal Code)
(a) The project design is consistent with the General
Plan, a Specific Plan or the provisions of this
Code.
Evidence to Consider:
The project meets the findings to exceed the mid-range
density (See Attachment A), therefore, the project is
consistent with the provisions of the Municipal Code.
(b) The project design is substantially consistent with
the Design Review Guidelines.
. Evidence to Consider:
project custom designed to fit site
The has been the
potentials and constraints. The
Mediterraneanjcontemporarystyleisconsistentthroughout
the project. The arched windows thematically unify the
complex as do the pastel color palette and materials.
The tile roofs will be of a uniform material and color.
Tile roof are found throughout the neighborhood. The
shallow arch of the windows is thematically carried into
the curved walls in the front yards. In conclusion, the
project is substantially consistent with the Design
Review Guidelines.
(c) The project would not adversely affect the health,
safety or general welfare of the community.
Evidence to Consider:
The project has letters of availability from all public
utilities. Since there are currently no known safety
hazards or public health hazards associated with the
site, the proposed project should not adversely affect
the health, safety or general welfare of the community.
. (CCjeromres) CASE NO. 89-122-DRjTPM
PAGE 17 OF 22
.
. (d) The project would not tend to cause the surrounding
neighborhood to depreciate materially in appearance
or value.
Evidence to Consider:
The proposed project is custom-designed, is coordinated
in terms of facade treatment, color and materials and is
compatible in bulk and scale with the newer structures
in the neighborhood. Much of the surrounding neighborhood
is deteriorating and blighted. The project, therefore,
would not cause the surrounding neighborhood to
depreciate materially in appearance or value, in fact,
it should serve to upgrade the neighborhood.

Findings for a Tentative Parcel Map
(California Subdivision Map Act, Section 66474)
(a) That the proposed map is consistent with applicable
general and specific plans as specified in Section
65451 of the Subdivision Map Act.
Evidence to Consider:
The subject property is designated as Residential 8.01-
11.00 dwelling units per acre in the General Plan. This
designation would permit a minimum net lot area of 3,950
square feet well below the proposed lot area of 4,300
square feet per unit. The proposed subdivision is,
therefore, consistent with the Plan.
. (b) That the design or improvement of the proposed
subdivision is consistent with applicable General
and Specific Plans.
Evidence to Consider:
The single lot, with condominium air rights for four
units, is designed to accommodate the proposed
combination of two attached and two detached residential
units as specified in the General Plan.
(c) That the site is physically suitable for the type
of development.
Evidence to Consider:
Staff have identified no reasons why the site cannot
physically accommodate the residential development as
proposed. The development would be subject to Uniform
Building and Fire Codes.
. (CC/ eromres) CASE NO. 89-122-DR/TPM
PAGE 19 OF 22
.
. (d) That the site is physically suitable for the
proposed density of development.
Evidence to Consider:
The relatively level lot with both street and alley
access is physically suitable for the proposed density
of development since all the findings needed to exceed
the mid-range density can be met.
(e) That the design of the subdivision or the proposed
improvements are not likely to cause substantial
environmental damage or substantially and avoidably
injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
Evidence to Consider:
Having identified no aspects in which this proposal could
have any significant adverse impacts on the environment,
staff have found the project to be exempt under Section
15061 (b) (3) of the State CEQA.
(f) That the design of the subdivision or type of
. improvements is not likely to cause serious public
health problems.
Evidence to Consider:
Sewer and water service is available on Jason Street and
the plan indicates internal utility connections. The
development, therefore, is not likely to cause any
serious public health problems.

with land uses and community character, and;
. Evidence to Consider
The stucco and tile roofing is similar to that used in
other parts of the neighborhood. The applicant has
agreed to plant four mature palm trees adjacent to the
structure facing Jason Street. He has also agreed to add
three planting areas along the public alley to soften the
visual bareness of the walls and garage doors. The
project is custom-designed and of high quality and should
serve to encourage positive redevelopment in a
deteriorating area. In conclusion, the project is
compatible with neighboring properties and community
character.
c. The proj ect design significantly exceeds the minimum
standards for development, and;
Evidence to Consider:
The proj ect does provide 16 trees where only 12 are
required. Four of these trees will be mature Washingtonia
Palms with a minimum height such that the "heads" of the
palms are not lower than the finished floor of the second
level. Similarly, it provides over 1300 square feet of

.
. private open space for each unit where only 200 square
feet is required. Four additional guest parking spaces
are provided above those required. The applicant has
also agreed to provide four Washingtonia palms planted
adjacent to the facade of unit A facing Jason street with
a minimum height such that the heads of the trees are
above the finished second floor level. In conclusion,
based on these additional features, the proj ect does
significantly exceed the minimum standards for
development.
d. The project either:
(1) Provides needed public improvements that are
significantly beyond the requirements for the project,
or;
(2) Provides private or public recreational facilities
that significantly exceed the project's requirements;
(3) Or provides other significant benefits.
Evidence to Consider:
. The applicant has agreed to "provide other significant
benefits" by contributing a sum of $1,686 per dwelling
unit to a "low income housing" fund for Leucadia thus
complying with number (3) above.
