�o-�� Lynda Flores Brouchoud Thomas Brouchoud Zoning Administrator Page 3 December 13, 2000 9. In 1986, variances to provisions of the Zon. Ord. were granted to permit construction of a residence at 3737 Laurel Way, likewise upon the condition that the property owner enter into an agreement to improve Laurel Way to a width of one-half standard hi�lside street specifications across the frontage of said property and also to extend the water and sewer mains to serve� said property. 10. Concurrently with the application to improve the property located at 3737 Laurel Way, the then owner of 3741 Laurel Way sought similar entitlements which, if granted, would have provided variances to permit construction of a residence on that property, subject to conditions similar to that pertaining to 3737 Laurel Way. The City Council denied that request. 11. In 1988, as the resutt of then pending applications for further development of properties fronting on Laurel Way, a report was submitted to the City Council describing the demand for development and concerns of City Staff regarding such development without adequate study (Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council from City Manager, dated September 1, 1988, Subject: Extension of Development on Laurel Way). On September 12, 1988, by consensus, the City Council concluded that soils and geologic conditions regarding further development on Laurel Way require that an Environmental Impact Report ("EIR") must first be prepared (the "1988 Policy"), in order to determine the environmental effect of development of the remaining undeveloped parcels of property on Laurel Way so that cumulative impacts of development would be assessed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Resources Code 21000, et seq., "CEQA"). 12. In 1996, upon appeal from the denial by the Zoning Administrator of an application for variances to the Zon. Ord. to construct a residence at 3741 Laurel Way, this Council affirmed said denial, consistent with and in partial reliance upon, the 1988 Policy established by the City Council. 13. In 1992, an architectural permit and a planned development permit were issued for the reconstruction of an existing residence damaged by the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989, located at 3726 Laurel Way. The parcel of undeveloped property located between appellants' Property and 3726 Laurel Way (designated by Assessor's Parcel No. ["APN"] 053-301-230 and hereinafter so identified) is under the same ownership as 3726 Laurel Way. 14. In approving reconstruction of the house on 3726 Laurel Way, the following condition was attached to the City's entitlements: Fndgs-5 f/sh/sh/RC/Council/findings
