APPLICATION OF MR. JACOB SAIDIAN. FILE NO. PLN2004-181.
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law and after presentation by the
Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the hearing was closed.
After due consideration of all evidence presented, the Planning Commission did find as follows
with respect to application PLN2004-181 :
1. The density of the proposed project site is 6.2 per gross acre. The project is an existing lot of
record and is substandard in area and consequently is consistent with the General Plan land
use designation of Low Density Residential (less than 4.5 units per gross acre.) No change in
residential density is proposed with this project.
2. The proposed project is consistent with the R-1-9 (Single-Family Residential, 9,000 square
foot minimum) Zoning District for a substandard lot size and meets the minimum setbacks,
height restriction, building coverage, floor area ratio, and parking requirements of the R-1-6
Zoning District as a substandard lot.
3. The project is consistent with the development standards and design guidelines of the San
Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan.
4. The project consists of a 4,123 square foot residence (including a 1,355 square foot
basement, 1,375 sq. ft. first floor, an 891 second floor, a 414 square foot garage, an 88
square foot porch) with a building coverage of 31.8% and Floor Area Ratio of 45%. A nine-
foot setback is provided from the eastern side property line and a five foot setback is
provided from the western side property line. A twenty foot setback is provided from the
front and a thirty-one foot setback is provided to the rear property lines.
5. The project provides two covered and two uncovered parking spaces for the proposed
residence thus satisfying the parking requirements of two parking spaces per unit.
6. The proposed project is well designed and is architecturally compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood.
7. The proposed new residence incorporate representative architectural features of homes in the
San Tomas Neighborhood including hipped and gable forms, a two-car garage, composition
roofing, and stucco siding.

8. The proposed project is surrounded by single-family residential uses to the north, south, east
and west.
9. The project qualifies as Categorically Exempt under Section 15303, Class 3 of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pertaining to the construction of a single-family
residence in an urbanized area.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes
that:
1. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
2. The proposed project, as conditioned, will aid in the harmonious development of the
immediate area.
3. No substantial evidence has been presented from which a reasonable argument could be
made that shows that the project, as currently presented and subject to the required
Conditions of Approval, will have a significant adverse impact on the environment.
4. The proposed development will not be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the
neighborhood or the City as a whole.
5. There is a reasonable relationship between the use of the fees imposed upon the project and
the type of development project.
6. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the Conditions of
Approval and the impacts of the project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission approves a Site and
Architectural Review Permit (PLN2004-181) to allow the construction of a new single-family
residence on property owned by Mr. Jacob Saidian located at 1642 Walters Avenue in an R-1-9
