After due consideration of all evidence presented, the Planning Commission did find as follows with respect to application PLN2004-182: 1. The density of the proposed project site is 2.0 per gross acre. The project density 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 lot size and meets the minimum setbacks, height restriction, building coverage, floor area ratio, and parking requirements of the R-1-9 Zoning District. 3.

The project consists of a 5,849 square foot residence (including a 1,252 square foot basement, 2,856 sq. ft. first floor, a 1,056 second floor, a 685 square foot garage) and the secondary living unit (including a 620 square foot living area and a 400 square foot storage area) with a project building coverage of 31 % and Floor Area Ratio of 37%. A twenty foot setback is provided for the front yard, a twelve foot setback is provided for the street side yard and a twenty-five foot setback is provided to the rear property line. 5.

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. 10. In absence of complete compliance to current setbacks for the second living unit, the proposed development would be detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of the general neighborhood. Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes that: 1. The proposed proj ect 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.
