NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission as follows: A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct. B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of CANTARINI RANCH - HDP 00-09 based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: Findings: 1. That hillside conditions have been properly identified on the constraints map which show existing and proposed conditions and slope percentages. 2. That undevelopable areas of the project, i.e. slopes over 40%, have been properly identified on the constraints map; 3. That the development proposal is consistent with the intent, purpose, and requirements of the Hillside Ordinance, Chapter 2 1.95, in that the hillside conditions are properly identified and are incorporated in the design of the subdivision; the project is designed to relate to the slope of the land; highly visible slopes will be contour graded; the alteration of the natural hillsides will be done in an environmentally sensitive manner to preserve steep slopes and wildlife habitats; and the project will implement NPDES measures to reduce runoff and avoid erosion. 4. That the proposed development or grading will not occur in the undevelopable portions of the site pursuant to provisions of Section 21.53.230, in that no grading will occur in areas with natural slopes over 40%. 5. That the project design substantially conforms to the intent of the concepts illustrated in the Hillside Development Guidelines Manual, in that on-site grading is within the acceptable quantity range with 7,360 cy/acre; no slopes over 40 feet in height are being created as a result of the grading scheme with the exception of a small portion of slope near Lot 17 facing College Boulevard which is 43.5 feet but is exempt since it is necessary for the construction of a Circulation Element Roadway (College Boulevard); lots requiring a slope edge building setback from top of slope for future residential construction have been identified on the tentative map, and all manufactured slopes will be landscaped in accordance with the City’s Landscape Guidelines Manual.

That the project design and lot configuration minimizes disturbance of hillside lands, in that the significant slope and sensitive habitat areas are being preserved in open space. 7. That the site has unusual geotechnical or soil conditions that necessitate corrective work that may require significant amounts of grading in that the site contains compressible soils which require corrective grading measures. 8. That the proposed modification allowing a retaining wall up to 19.8 feet west of “I” Street will result in significantly more open space or undisturbed area than would a strict adherence to the requirements of the ordinance, in that the retaining wall will reduce grading impacts to the adjacent wetlands area.
