ISSUES OF CONCERN

RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION
Planning:
1. The APN number identified in the Title Report is the old number. Please update the
Title Report.
2. If the applicant intends to utilize the open space easement as a habitat mitigation bank
at some future date, project density must be calculated using the area proposed for
development. Subtracting the 21.87 acre open space lot from the total acreage, it
appears that approximately 5.83 acres are proposed to be developed. Multiplying this
acreage by the 3.2 units/acre growth control point results in an allowable density of 18
dwelling units/acre. Otherwise, the proposed density of 1.1 du/acre which utilizes the
entire developable area is acceptable. Please advise.
3. Slope heights exceed 50' along the southern boundary. Slope heights are limited to 30'
under the Hillside Development Ordinance applicable in the Coastal Zone.
4. In accordance with the Mello II Local Coast Program segment, 25% slopes possessing
chaparral and/or coastal sage habitat shall not be disturbed. An exception can be made
to allow a 10% encroachment into steep slopes to enable reasonable use of the
property. You have identified that the percentage of 25% slopes containing habitat
(dual criterion) located within the property boundaries and proposed for disturbance is
7.15%, or less than a 10% encroachment. Based on the amount of open space
proposed for preservation, the encroachment seems reasonable.
5. Since the subdivision is surrounded by native habitat, please show the required 60' fire
suppression buffer from rear property lines or limits of grading on the tentative map.
The landscape fire protection plan should be revised to incorporate all perimeter lots.
Extending the fire suppression zone into the undisturbed areas will increase the area of
impact to sensitive habitats and require additional mitigation. The fire suppression
buffer is a City requirement regardless of the ignition resistant requirements of "Urban
Wildlife Interface Code".
6. In addition to showing the 60' fire suppression buffer, please identify required front
and side yard setbacks to ensure that the remaining buildable area (outside of slopes,
setbacks, and fire suppression buffers) is adequate on all lots to accommodate a single
family structure that is similar in size to other units within Zone 20.
7. All proposed property lines should occur at the top of manufactured slopes.
8. The biological analysis identifies impacts to Southern Maritime Chaparral and proposes
preservation onsite as mitigation for disturbance to this habitat. Has the applicant
consulted with the agencies, and if so, have they indicated their support in writing?
Please advise.
9. In order to complete the environmental assessment, it will be necessary for your
geologist to further assess the three potential landslides mapped along the western
margins of the proposed development. Lots are proposed adjacent to the area identified
and more detailed mitigation measures must be provided if these landslide areas have
the potential to impact slope/pad stability.
10.The proposed Qualified Overlay (Q) Zone will require that you process a site
development plan and coastal development permit for building placement and
architecture at a later date if units are not proposed with this submittal. The "Q"
overlay is not a City requirement for this parcel, however, the Coastal Commission
required this overlay on the adjacent Ocean Bluff parcel prior to approving the Local
Coastal Program amendment for the zone change
1lilHow will this project satisfy its inclusionary housing requirement? Unless the applicant
proposes to request the purchase of credits in an existing offsite combined inclusionary
housing project, the proposed project must propose through submittal of a site
development plan affordable units onsite. If the applicant wishes to request the
purchase of credits in the Villa Loma project, please submit this request to the Housing
and Redevelopment office along with a letter advising the Planning Department of the
request to purchase affordable housing credits.
