09/21/2015 ATTY/RESO.3134/CC RESO APPROVING PLANNED DEVELOPMENT – FINGER RESO. # 15445 REV: 09‐17‐15 VR MUFF # 613 Page 11 of 29 placement of new structures and impervious improvements further away from the creek would not be detrimental to the environment, but would serve to enhance the creek corridor. Further, the stormwater treatment plan and system designed for the project along with a 100% net reduction in impervious coverage within the 25’ creek protection setback area (other than fencing) will decrease stormwater runoff of pollutants that enter Cordilleras Creek. 4. That the use and facilities will not adversely affect or conflict with adjacent uses or impede the normal development of surrounding property. Placement of new single-family homes within an established single-family neighborhood would not adversely affect or conflict with adjacent uses. The General Plan and zoning designations for the project site support single-family residential uses. Further, placement of the proposed residential structures that share a common lot-line with existing residences was carefully considered to provide or exceed the required setbacks that would normally apply in these locations. No component of the proposed project would adversely affect or impede the normal development of the surrounding property. 5. That adequate public and private facilities such as utilities, landscaping, parking spaces and traffic circulation measures are or will be provided for the proposed use. The proposed project includes a one-way private roadway to access the eight new lots. While two lots will front onto Finger Avenue, the garages and driveways will be accessed from the private road. Each of the eight homes would include a two-car garage, thus satisfying the requirement for two covered parking spaces. Further, while R-1 requires no guest parking accommodations, the proposed project includes five guest parking spaces within the project boundaries and away from Finger Avenue. The proposed subdivision can be adequately served by existing public and private utility systems and infrastructure. As noted above, 34 of the 44 existing trees would be retained and 52 new trees will be added to strengthen the visual appeal of the project. 6. Other findings required to be made in specific zoning districts as set forth in the Zoning Code. No other Use Permit findings are required for the R-1 district. Section 7. Vesting Tentative Map TM2008-08: Consistent with Municipal Code Section 30.42, and subject to the street modification outlined in Section 8 below, the City Council finds that: (a) The map for eight residential lots and a remainder common lot for the roadway and shared guest parking, and associated improvements is consistent with the City of Redwood City General Plan and Zoning
