That the proposed location of the conditional use is in accordance with the objectives of the zoning ordinance and the purpose of the district in which the site is located. The Planning Commission found the request for the addition to conform to the purpose and objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and North Sycamore Specific Plan (NSSP) and determined that while there are no established site development standards for the lot, the Commission considered the R-1-40,000 Zoning District standards to be the applicable development standards for this project. The Commission also found it acceptable for the proposed addition to be built with the same front yard setback as the existing garage (15 feet) since the addition would be located approximately 300 feet away from Sycamore Road and cape plans where applicable to the satisfaction of the City Landscape Architect prior to issuance of building permits: a. No existing tree may be trimmed or pruned without prior approval by the City Landscape Architect. b. Utilize best efforts to locate any new utility trenches outside of the existing canopy of the trees to be saved. If this is not feasible, the applicant shall submit a report from a certified arborist acceptable to the City indicating trenching will not be detrimental to the health of the tree. c. Nothing may be stored within the dripline of the tree canopies. This includes equipment, oil, gas, chemicals, harmful materials, fill or storage. d. No oil, gasoline, chemicals, or other harmful materials shall be deposited or disposed within the dripline of the trees or in drainage channels, swales, or areas that may lead to the dripline.
