FINDINGS FOR DESIGN REVIEW (MUNI. CODE CHAPT. 23.08)
CASE # 89-256DR/EIA
A. The project design is consistent with the General Plan, a
Specific Plan, or the provisions of this code.
Evidence: The project involves 22 detached single family
homes on separate legal lots, as is explicitly allowed
for in the RS-ll zone in accordance with section
30.08.010 of the Municipal Code and in the land Use
Element of the General Plan (p.LU-44).
B. The design is substantially consistent with the Design
Review Guidelines.
Evidence: The Board finds that the project is in
substantial compliance with the Design Review Guidelines
in that site design takes into account available
opportunities of the site and will not result in any
significant view blockage, buildings are of a high level
of design and will be compatible with neighboring
development, and landscaping consists of drought tolerant
species which will achieve a mature appearance within 3
years and will accent architectural features.
C. The project would not adversely affect the health, safety,
or general welfare of the community.
Evidence: No aspect of the proposed project has been
identified which would, in the opinion of staff, the
Board, or the assigned environmental consultant,
adversely affect the public health, safety, or general
welfare in any way.
D. The project would tend to cause the surrounding
neighborhood to depreciate materially in appearance or value.
Evidence:The proposed homes will be of a level of design
and constructiqn that will upgrade the subject property
and will thus not cause material depreciation to the
value or appearance of the neighborhood.
