On March 25, 2015, the Planning Commission approved the DR, finding that the design of the home met the intent of the Golden Eagle Farm Architectural Design Guidelines (Design Guidelines) and that the grading was appropriate to accommodate the proposed project and that it would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, of the properties in the vicinity. Gary and Candileigh Monzo, property owners and neighbors adjacent to the subject site at 8023 Golden Eagle Way, subsequently filed an appeal of this approval dated April 6, 2015, included in Attachment 3. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION On March 25, 2015, the Planning Commission approved (4-1 vote) the DR application. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution (Attachment 1) (A) denying the appeal and upholding the approval of the Planning Commission, subject to the Conditions of Approval in Exhibit A of Attachment 1, which are consistent with those approved by the Planning Commission, and (B) approve the Growth Management Agreement in Exhibit B. FINANCIAL STATEMENT The proposed home would have a negligible financial impact on the City. Increases in property taxes would be used to provide services, such as police, fire, etc., for the increased demand generated by the home.
