FhdiIlgS:
1. That the requested use is properly related to the site, surroundings an(
environmental settings, is consistent with the various elements and objectives of tht
general plan, will not be detrimental to existing uses or to uses specificall;
permitted in the area in which the proposed use is to be located, and will no
adversely impact the site, surroundings or traffic circulation, because the project E
consistent with the General Plan and Zone 20 Specific Plan. The project would no1
have a significant impact on the environment and is in compliance with mitigatior
requirements of Final EIR 90-03. The proposed residential land uses are compatiblf
in scale, architecture, and building materials with the multi-family residentia
development to the south. Public street improvements would be provided tc
accommodate traffic generated by the project and the project must comply with al
the circulation and public facility requirements of Local Facilities Management Pla
Zone 20.
2. That the site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate tht
use, because the project site is fairly geometric in shape, the topography is gentl)
sloping, and the grading and development to accommodate streets and building pa&
would conform to all required City ordinances as illustrated on the attached
exhibits. The proposed 176 apartment units would be accommodated on the level
building pad areas of the lot without encroaching into the manufactured slopes
I located along the eastern portion of the site.
~
3. That all of the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping, and other features
necessary to adjust the requested use to existing or permitted future uses in the
neighborhood will be provided and maintained for the following reasons:
The project would be conditioned to provide a solid wall or fence, and landscaped
windbreaks along the perimeter of any future developable area that abuts property
under "open field" cultivation, in order to reduce public nuisance effects of adjacent
pesticide spraying and dust generation from farm operations.
Single-family Residential Area:
a. Standard front, side and rear setbacks are provided for each home,
and all homes have three-car garages for offstreet parking.
b. The front yards of all the lots would be provided with 3 street trees
of varying sizes, a special 10 foot planting easement is provided along
the entire northern property line, a 10 foot planting easement is
provided on both sides of Camino del as Ondas, and the 50 foot
setback along Alga Road would be land form graded and heavily
landscaped.

c. An average 3 foot reduction in lot width for a single-family lot would
not preclude the placement of a home on the lot, would not constrain
access to the lot, nor substantially reduce the physical separation of
the homes when viewed from the public street. The Zoning
Ordinance currently designates 60 feet as the lot width for R-1-7500
single-family lots. AU the lots in Unit "A" would still maintain a
minimum of 10,000 square feet of lot area, therefore, the modification
of the lot width standard for purposes of providing affordable housing
would not have a detrimental effect on public health, safety and
welfare.

a. The bulk and scale of the proposed two and three-story apartment
buildings would be compatible with the existing and surrounding
residential development to the south. The proposed multi-family
residential land use would provide an appropriate transition between
the proposed single-family land use to the east and the future
community park land use to the northwest. A 20 to 25 foot building
setback along Hidden Valley Road and a 20 to 35 foot setback along
Camho de las Ondas would provide an adequate buffer between this
project and the public streets.
The building pads for the apartments would be 20 feet lower in
elevation than the single-family homes to the east. The single-family
homes are adequately set back a distance of approximately 27 to 40
feet from the top of the slope that separates the two land uses. In the
area of the apartment site where the apartments are only
approximately 5 to 10 feet below the grade elevation of the homes to
the east, there would be a public street separating the two residential
land uses. These slope separations and setbacks are adequate to
buffer the two land uses in terms of noise and visual aesthetics.
b. The design of the project would assure a unique mix of residential
development, and enhance the aesthetic quality of the area as follows:

1. The street setbacks would be landscaped with a combination
of trees and shrubs to partially screen the residential structures
from the public streets.
n. The building elevations would have textured stucco exteriors
and tile roofs, varied roof lines, architectural accent features
and building forms, and varied building facades.

iii. The dwelling units would be orientated at various angles along
the driveway to provide an enclosure of space between the
buildings and to provide more visual interest when the project
is viewed from the public streets.

All the local, collector, and major streets within this area would be constructed tc
full public street width standards, have underground utilities, and contain public
sidewalks.
Multi-Family Residential Area:
a. The project would provide adequate onsite parking (348 parking
spaces) and circulation to serve the needs of the residents and their
guests, and it would not impact the availability of offsite street
b. Sidewalks and drainage facilities would be provided along the
project's street frontages to serve the project.
c. The proposed 30 foot wide central private driveway would be
adequate to provide safe and efficient traffic circulation, vehicle turn
movements, and emergency access. The City's Parking Ordinance
requires a minimum standard width of 24 feet for a two-way traffic
aisle containing ninety degree parking on both sides. A 24 foot
driveway aisle provides adequate separation and distance for vehicles
backing out of parking spaces and adequate separation for two-way
traffic (12 feet per travel lane).
d. An internal pedestrian circulation system, that is separated from the
driveways, would be provided and it would allow sufficient and safe
access to the recreation facility and adjacent public streets.
e. Adequate emergency access is provided by the central 30 foot wide
private driveway that leads from Hidden Valley Road to Camino de las
Ondas. The 30 foot wide driveway is wide enough to accommodate
emergency vehicles, and the project would be conditioned to prohibit
parallel parking along this central access way. The project has been
reviewed and approved by the Fire Department.

The project is consistent with all City public facility policies and ordinances since:
