That hillside conditions and undevelopable areas of the project have been proper11 identified because the site's hillside slope conditions and undevelopable areas havc Findins: 5 illustrated in the hillside development guidelines manual for the following reasons a permits are consistent with the purpose, intent, and requirements of this chapte 7 been identified on a slope constraints exhibit. ' 2. That the development proposal and all applicable development approvals an( and that the project design substantially conforms to the intent of the concept 9 10 11 a. AU manufactured cut and fill slopes are landform/contour graded and do no1 exceed a height of 30 feet, except for the 43 foot high slope along thc eastem portion of the apartment development in Area "A" per the Sit€ Development Plan. 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 I 20 1 b. The project's cut/fill grading volumes of 8,652 cubic yards per graded am falls within the "potentially acceptable range" of 8,000 - 10,000 cubic yards/acre. Included in these volumes is 86,000 cubic yards of grading fo~ Alga Road which is a circulation element roadway. When grading for Alg: Road is subtracted out of the grading calculations, the project's grading volumes are reduced to 7,773 cubic yards per graded acre and are within thc "acceptable range". c. Landscaping in conformance with the Zone 20 Specific Plan and the Ci@ Landscape Manual would be provided on all manufactured slopes to assist i~ visually screening the slopes and to reduce erosion. d. All structures and roofs within the project would be earth tone in color tc reduce visual impacts. 21 22 e. A percentage of the homes along the north/south trending and gently sloping ridgeline would be one-story in height and all homes would have varying roof lines. 23 24 f. The multi-family residential buildings are setback from the top 0: manufactured slopes fkom a range of 15 to 60 feet, along the eastern portior of Area "A". 25 I "" 26 27 PC RES0 NO. 3594 2 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 0 0 3. That no development or grading will occur in those portions of the property whick are undevelopable pursuant to the provisions of Section 21.53.230 of this codf because all undevelopable areas have been identified and except for Alga Road nc development or grading would occur in the areas containing 40%+ slopes. Gradins of 40% slopes would be necessary to construct portions of Alga Road. Areas when circulation element roadways must be placed and no feasible alternatives consisten] with this chapter are available may be excluded from the requirements of thc Hillside Development Regulations by the decision making body based on Sectior 21.95.090(b)(2) of the ordinance. The alignment of Alga Road in this area wa! established with the approval of the tentative map for Cobblestone Sea Village (Cl 84-32). Analysis of alternatives for Alga Road indicated that due to constraint! from the SDGW powerline easement that traverses through the main canyon therc is no feasible alternative consistent with the Hillside Development Regulations therefore, the Planning Commission excludes grading for Alga Road from the 40% slope standard. 4. That the project design and lot configuration minimizes disturbance of hillside land: because the proposed grading would create single-family building pads that arc terraced for views and step down the slope. A majority of the local streets an< manufactured slopes are curving and are aligned to follow the north/south trendinj contours. The street alignments and curving landform graded slopes would reduct visual impacts created by the grading and help simulate the natural slope conditions 5. The project is consistent with all City public facility policies and ordinances since ~ 15 16 project, ensured building permits will not be issued for the project unless tht The Planning Commission has, by inclusion of an appropriate condition to thi: District Engineer determines that sewer service is available, and building canno 17 occur within the project unless sewer service remains available, and the Plannini Commission is satisfied that the requirements of the Public Facilities Element of tht 18 General Plan have been met insofar as they apply to sewer service for this project 19 20 21 22 ! 6.
