03.
After notification and public heating, 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 M 98-03:
1. The subject lot exceeds the minimum lot area of 10,000 square feet required for the R-I-10 zone
by over 4,000 feet, and thereby provides extra open space.
The location of the open space on the lot is so distributed, and the height of the second building is
limited to one story that the granting of the modification will not result the area between the two
building being perceived as a confined space, or result in a significant loss of sunlight or privacy.
3. The proposed addition complies with all other development standards in an R-l-10 zoning
district.
4. The proposed development of the subject property complies with the policies and standards of the
San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan.
o
The proposed project is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and incorporates
architectural features found in the San Tomas Area, including building lines, gabled roofs and
horizontal siding.
Based on 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 will aid in the harmonious development of the immediate area.
The establishment, maintenance or operation of the secondary living unit for will not be
detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort or general welfare of persons residing or
working in the neighborhood of such proposed use, or be detrimental or injurious to property and
improvements in the neighborhood or to the general welfare of the City.
4. The proposed residential use is compatible with uses in the area.
