VI. PUBLIC NOTICE Notices of the City Council's public hearing on this item were sent to the property owners lo- cated within I,OOO-feet of the subject property and within the entire Happy Valley Specific Plan area. VII. FISCAL IMP ACT There would be no fiscal impact to the City with this appeal. VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT The original appellant, Jerry Wagner, states that the development of this site will negatively im- pact the groundwater reserves by infiltration of pollutants derived from the new landscape and vehicles parked on the site. Staff notes that environmental review for the proposed project was undertaken with the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) approved by the City Council for the Happy Valley Specific Plan (HVSP) in conformance with the standards of the California En- vironmental Quality Act (CEQA). The FEIR examined impacts to groundwater resources. The EIR for the Specific Plan also covered the Golf Course PUD based on findings made by the Council that the PUD conformed to the Specific Plan and its EIR. The proposed project is the design review of a single-family home in conformance to the PUD development plan and its design guidelines, which were originally approved in conjunction with the Callippe Golf Course PUD development plan found by the City Council to be in conformance with the HVSP and the FEIR. The approval of this home would not constitute a substantial change to the Specific Plan or to the circumstances under which the Specific Plan is being under- taken that would involve new significant environmental effects or that would substantially in- crease the severity of previously identified effects. Furthermore, there is no new information of substantial importance which was unknown at the time that the FEIR was approved by the City Council regarding the project or its effects, mitigation measures, or alternatives. Therefore, no new environmental document accompanies this staff report. x. CONCLUSION In staff's opinion, the proposed building design represents an excellent implementation oftlte de- sign guidelines for this development. The home would comply with the size and height limita- tions of the PUD and is designed to reduce its mass. Therefore, staff supports the proposed house design. SR 05:320 Page 70f8
