Dear Mr. & Mrs. May:
The Planning and Engineering Departments have completed their review of your
February 23, 1998 project submittal. The following issues remain and resolution will be
necessary prior to scheduling this project for Planning Commission and City Council
hearing:
1. To obtain staff support of this project, a Minor Site Development Plan application
must be submitted to the Planning Department along with a check for $2,670.00.
Otherwise, without a formal application for your inclusionary housing proposal, the
project will be recommended for denial.
2. The purpose of the Site Development Plan is to show compliance with the
inclusionary housing requirement. Building footprints and architectural elevations
should be shown for the lots proposed for second dwelling units, however, the
remaining lots should be excluded from the plans to avoid confusion. A standard
single family subdivision does not require Planning Commission approval of
architecture. Also, please add the scale to architectural elevations.
3. Project conditions recommended by staff will include a requirement that the future
owner of Lots 7 and 8 will have to apply for and receive an Administrative Second
Dwelling Unit Permit prior to issuance of any future building permits.
4. Project density including the second dwelling units is 3.4 dwelling units/acre. Please
correct Item 3 under Development Notes to specify 14 Lots/l6 future dwelling units
and change Item 8 to 3.4 du/acre. The RLM growth management control point
(GCP) for this site is 3.2 dwelling units/acre which allows 15 units. Where zoning
would permit a slightly higher yield, the General Plan allows infill projects in this area
to exceed the GCP if specific findings can be made. Findings required to allow the
increase are that adequate public facilities have been provided and that excess
dwelling units are available within the Local Facility Zone.

5. The proposed affordable housing proposal must receive a recommendation from the
Housing Commission and approval by the Planning Commission.
6. Lot width is measured at the 20’ setback line for the purposes of calculating
setbacks, It appears that Lot 7 is approximately 95’ wide; side yard setbacks would
be 9.5’ and rear yard would be 19’ (now shown as 16’ although it scales at 18’).
Please check the dimensions on side yard setbacks shown. When I scaled the
setbacks shown as 7.5’, they are actually 9’ in width at 40 scale. Please correct or
show correct scale.
7. Since this project is infill and property lines are proposed at the toe of slope, staff will
recommend a condition requiring the construction of a uniform, 6’ high masonry wall
separating the parcel from existing development along the southern and eastern
property lines. The design of the wall would require Planning Director approval and
the entire length of the wall would have to be constructed prior to the issuance of
any building permit.
8. It is still unclear whether or not the existing wall(s) on Lot 9 exceed 42” in the front
yard setback. Are there two walls with a combined height of 7’. Walls may not
exceed 42” in the front yard setback. This issue must be addressed.
Engineering:
1. We have yet to receive the hydraulic analysis for this project, as stated in the
applicant’s letter of February 19, 1998. No further comments can be made regarding
drainage of this project until this analysis is received and reviewed by the Engineering
Department.
If you have any questions regarding the above, please call Anne Hysong at (760) 438-
1161, extension 4477, or Ken Quon, project engineer, at extension 4380.
Sincerely,
Associate Planner
