MOTION PASSED
FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL - TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO.
16288/CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 01-48
FINDINGS FOR PROJECTS EXEMPT FROM CEGA:
The Planning Commission finds that the project will not have any significant effect on
the environment and is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15182 of the CEQA Guidelines because the
City has prepared an environmental impact report for the Holly Seacliff Specific Plan
after January 1, 1980, therefore no environmental impact report or negative declaration
is needed for a residential project undertaken pursuant to and conformance to the
specific plan.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 16288:
Tentative Tract Map No. 16288 for a one lot condominium subdivision on
approximately 0.7 acres for development of 10 attached town home units is
consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element designation of Medium Density
Residential on the subject property, or any applicable specific plan, or other
applicable provisions of this Code. The proposed residential subdivision for the
development of ten townhouse units is permitted in the Medium Density Residential
(RM) designation, of the Holly Seacliff Specific Plan.
2. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development. The project
density of 14.5 dwelling units per acre complies with the maximum permitted density
of 15 dwelling units per acre in the General Plan and Holly Seacliff Specific Plan.
3. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements will not cause serious
health problems or substantial environmental damage or substantially and
avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The project will comply with all
mitigation measures identified in Environmental Impact Report No. 89-1.
(02p=0409)
PC Minutes
April 9, 2002

4. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property
within the proposed subdivision unless alternative easements, for access or for use,
will be provided. The subdivision will provide all necessary easements and will not
affect any existing easements.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 01-48:
1. Conditional Use Permit No. 01-48 for the establishment, maintenance and operation
of the 10 unit townhouse project, and construction of five (5) foot high patio fences
at a seven foot front setback will not be detrimental to the general welfare of
persons working or residing in the vicinity or detrimental to the value of the property
and improvements in the neighborhood. The proposed site layout and design of
the project properly adapts the proposed structures to street, driveways, and other
adjacent structures and uses in a harmonious manner. The fences within'the front
setback are designed to provide private open space areas to three units while
minimizing noise impacts to those units. The proposed development is consistent
with development anticipated by the Holly Seacliff Specific Plan.
2. The conditional use permit will be compatible with surrounding uses because the
proposed residential use is consistent and complementary to existing uses in the
vicinity. The project design is identical to that of an approved project located south
on Main Street (Siena Apartments) and is in keeping with the multi -family
neighborhood. Furthermore, compliance with the mitigation measures of
Environmental Impact Report No. 89-1 and code provisions will ensure that the
project will be compatible with other area developments.
3. The proposed 10 unit town home subdivision will comply with the provisions of the
base district and other applicable provisions in the Holly Seacliff Specific Plan and
any specific condition required for the proposed use in the district in which it would
be located, except for the five (5) foot high fences within the front setback. The
proposed residential units meet all code provisions, including setbacks, density,
open space, and parking.
4. The granting of the conditional use permit will not adversely affect the General Plan.
It is consistent with the Land Use Element designation of Residential Medium
Density on the subject property. In addition, it is consistent with the following goals
and policies of the General Plan: -
LU 9.1.3: Require that multi -family residential projects be designed to convey a
high level of quality and distinctive neighborhood character as discussed below:
a. Design building elevations treatment to convey the visual character of individual
units rather than a singular building mass and volumes.
b. Include separate and well-defined entries to convey the visual character of
individual identity for each residential unit, which may be accessed from exterior
facades, interior courtyards, and /or common areas.
(02p=0409)

c. Include an adequate landscape setback along the street frontage that is
integrated with abutting sidewalks and provides continuity throughout the
neighborhood.
LU 11: Achieve the development of projects that enable residents to live in
proximity to their jobs, commercial services and entertainment, and reduce the need
for automobile use.
Obiective HE 3.1.1: Encourage the provision and continued availability of a range
of housing types throughout the community, with variety in the number of rooms
and level of amenities.
The proposed project will consist of attached townhouse condominium units that
have patios surrounding each entry area to delineate the entry to the unit. Through
the use of different colors and materials the units will appear to be individual units
and will break up the mass of the buildings.
5. The project is in compliance with the mitigation measures for Environmental Impact
Report No. 89-1.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL — TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 16288:
1. The tentative tract map for a one -lot subdivision for 10 townhouse condominiums
