<br /> to the existing trees and vegetation on-site. The proposed site improvements
<br /> relate well to the proposed residence as well as the existing residence on-site
<br /> that is being retained on Parcel B. Outdoor space will be accommodated with
<br /> each lot and they both will relate well to the site's natural and built features.
<br /> The Planning Commission concludes this finding can be made.
<br /> 4. Whether grading in conjunction with the proposed development plan
<br /> takes into account environmental characteristics and is designed in
<br /> keeping with the best engineering practices to avoid erosion, slides, or
<br /> flooring, and to have as minimal an effect upon the environment as
<br /> possible.
<br /> The Planning Commission finds that grading is kept to a minimum and is only
<br /> proposed for the new building pad and site improvements. The property is flat
<br /> and would require no significant grading to accommodate the structures
<br /> covered by this development plan. In addition, the flood hazard maps of the
<br /> Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) indicate the subject
<br /> property is not located in a flood hazard zone. The lots would drain to the
<br /> face-of-curb and excess stormwater runoff would be directed into public street
<br /> storm drains. Finally, dust suppression measures will be required as a
<br /> Condition of Approval. As such, the Planning Commission concludes this
<br /> finding can be made.
<br /> 5. Whether streets, buildings, and other manmade structures have been
<br /> designed and located in such a manner to complement the natural
<br /> terrain and landscape.
<br /> The subject lot is relatively flat and thus the proposed residence does not
<br /> require extensive grading and does not contrast the natural terrain. The
<br /> Planning Commission finds the proposal is sensitive to existing landscaping,
<br /> maintaining most of the mature vegetation on-site. While a new second-story
<br /> residence is proposed, given the proposed home's large setbacks, extensive
<br /> landscaping, and articulated building design, the additional height is largely
<br /> mitigated, and the scale is appropriate. The architectural style and detailing of
<br /> the proposed residence are compatible with the existing residence and
<br /> neighborhood. As such, the Planning Commission concludes this finding can
<br /> be made.
<br /> 6. Whether adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into
<br /> the design or the proposed development plan.
<br /> New homes are conditioned to be designed to meet the requirements of the
<br /> California Building Code and applicable City codes. The Planning
<br /> Commission finds the subject site has adequate access to serve police, fire,
<br /> and other emergency vehicles. The new home will be equipped with
<br /> automatic residential fire sprinklers. As such, the Planning Commission
<br /> concludes this finding can be made.
