permeable pavers are proposed within an existing landscaped area located in between the children's play
area and the west elevation of the sanctuary.

the proposed minor modification to the church campus to add a pickleba/1 court within an
existing landscaped area.
2) That the proposed revision complies with all relevant development standards and design criteria
and will not result in any health, safety, or welfare impacts, in that the pickleba/1 court complies
with setbacks and the storm water quality management plan has been updated to account for
the removal of landscaping and increase in impervious area.
3) That the proposed revision is consistent with the density, intensity, or use from what was approved
as part of the authorizing discretionary action, in that the addition of the pickleba/1 court and
plaza substantially conform with AMEND 2018-0003, an amendment to Site Development Plan

Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP}
for the Arroyo La Costa Master Plan {EIR 86-02}, dated July 31, 1990. In addition, the noise
analysis completed for the subject Substantial Conformance review (RNS Acoustics, December
2024} determined the project complied with the residential noise standards of the Noise Element
of the General Plan and the city's Noise Guidelines Manual.
7) That the proposed revision is consistent with the standards set forth in the Village and Barrio
Objective Design Standards or the Citywide Objective Design Standards, as applicable, in that the
proposed project does not propose multifamily development and therefore the Village and
Barrio ODS and Citywide ODS for multifamily development projects are not applicable to this
