9 <br /> <br />The proposed project is also consistent with Zoning Ordinance development <br />regulations for the R-1 residential zoning district, except for the modifications <br />being requested through the Planned Development Permit. There are no <br />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 nine 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 nine proposed homes, only two would be visible from <br />Finger Avenue; seven would be tucked behind the properties fronting on Finger <br />Avenue and would only be visible to those entering the private one-way road and <br />the immediately adjacent neighbors. Additionally, the preservation of 34 existing <br />trees and the addition of 52 new trees would serve to enhance the natural feel <br />and visual aesthetic of the site and the nearby properties. <br /> <br />3. That the use and its associated structures and facilities will not be detrimental to <br />the public health or safety, the general welfare, or the environment. <br /> <br />The introduction of nine new single-family homes into a residentially-zoned and <br />established residential neighborhood would not be detrimental to the public <br />health, safety or welfare. As documented in the EIR and Addendum No. 1, the <br />removal of existing structures and impervious coverage near the top of bank and <br />placement of new structures and impervious improvements further away from the <br />creek would not be detrimental to the environment, but would serve to enhance <br />the creek corridor. Further, the stormwater treatment plan and system designed <br />for the project along with a 79% net reduction in impervious coverage within the <br />25’ creek protection setback area with decrease stormwater runoff of pollutants <br />that enter Cordilleras Creek. <br /> <br />4. That the use and facilities will not adversely affect or conflict with adjacent uses <br />or impede the normal development of surrounding property. <br /> <br />Placement of new single-family homes within an established single-family <br />neighborhood would not adversely affect or conflict with adjacent uses. The <br />General Plan and zoning designations for the project site support single-family <br />residential uses. Further, placement of the proposed residential structures that <br />share a common lot-line with existing residences was carefully considered to <br />provide or exceed the required setbacks that would normally apply in these <br />locations. No component of the proposed project would adversely affect or <br />impede the normal development of the surrounding property. <br /> <br />8.B. - Page 102
