Engeo's analyses determined that the site will support the proposed development in its proposed configuration with standard engineering practices, and established a geotechnical building setback line that is shown on the development plan. This setback line requires the locations of building pads and habitable structures outside this setback line, therefore, the fault zone. The building setback line is separated from the western edge of the fault zone by a distance varying from 130 feet to 180 feet, which exceeds the minimum requirement of 50 feet where the fault is located or 100 feet where the fault is inferred. The applicants are required to annex this entire development into the Lemoine Ranch Geologic Hazard Abatement District (GHAD). The project developer will prepare the necessary documentation to annex this development to the GHAD with the final subdivision map. The owners of these lots would be responsible for paying the future annual GHAD assessments for the development. Flexible connections will be installed on the sanitary sewer and electrical lines where these utilities cross the fault zone in the main access driveway. Water lines serving the site, however, come down from the Fuller Smathers property and would not cross the fault zone. Additionally, all structures on these sites, except for very small storage sheds, are required to secure a City- issued building permit utilizing the standards of the California Building Code. The California Building Code includes regulations and requirements governing seismic building safety. The proposed project is required to comply with these codes and standards to provide earthquake resistant construction. Growth Management Allocations Development of this property would fall under the "First- Come First Serve" category of the City's Growth Management program, which has an annual, non transferable allocation of 100 units. Construction Hours All construction activities are limited to the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday with no construction allowed on State and Federal Holidays. The Director of Community Development may allow earlier "start- times" for concrete foundation work or extended construction hours for interior work if it can be demonstrated that the construction and traffic noise will not affect nearby residents. All construction equipment is required to meet Department of Motor Vehicles noise standards and be equipped with muffling devices. Construction equipment for the development of the individual lots is prohibited from parking on the private street. VI. PUBLIC COMMENT Public notices were sent to all property owners within a 1,000 -foot radius of the project site. As of the writing of this staff report, staff has not received any verbal or written comments from the public. All verbal /written comments pertaining to this proposal will be forwarded to the Planning Commission. Item 6.b., PUD- 87- 19 -03M Page 29 of 37 April 28, 2010
