directed and discharged into the City’s stormdrain system located within Finger <br />Avenue. <br /> <br />The certified EIR found that the proposed project represents an improvement <br />over existing conditions as it would reduce the amount of impervious surfaces <br />adjacent to the creek and install a new on-site stormwater system to filter, treat <br />and drain runoff from the project site and direct it to Finger Avenue at a discharge <br />rate and duration to match pre-project rates. The reduced eight-lot Project <br />removes all impervious coverage within the creek protection setback area and <br />only proposes lot line fencing to be installed. Therefore, the development will <br />avoid discharge of pollutants into Cordilleras Creek and will filter and treat all <br />stormwater runoff on-site and discharge into the City’s existing stormwater <br />drainage system. <br /> <br />Article 42 (Use Permits), Section 42.3.B outlines the standard findings required for <br />approval of any Use Permit. The six Use Permit findings are: <br /> <br />1. That the proposed use will be consistent with the various elements and <br />objectives of the general plan and any applicable Specific and Precise Plans, and <br />zoning regulations for the subject location. <br /> <br />The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan Low Density <br />Residential land use designation and complies with applicable General Plan <br />policies for single family residential uses and densities. Low Density Residential <br />allows for up to 7 units per acre. With a total project site of 1.69 acres, the <br />maximum allowable density would be 11 units; the project proposes eight units <br />(4.7 du/ac.) The proposed project is also consistent with Zoning Ordinance <br />development regulations for the R-1 residential zoning district, except for the <br />modifications being requested through the Planned Development Permit. There <br />are no Specific or Precise Plans that apply to the site. <br /> <br />2. That the proposed use is compatible with surrounding uses. <br /> <br />The project site is located within the R-1 residential zoning district and within an <br />existing residential neighborhood. The project proposes eight single-family <br />residential lots (all meeting or exceeding the required minimum lot size), each to <br />be developed with a 2-story single-family residence. Use of varying architectural <br />styles, features and materials would ensure that the project does not appear <br />“master-planned”, but developed with individually designed custom homes similar <br />to and compatible with the existing patterns and styles found within the <br />neighborhood. Of the eight proposed homes, only two would be visible from <br />8.B. - Page 8
