Exhibit A: Recommended Findings of Fact Page 1 of 8 PLN21-0005 2824 Halcyon Drive EXHIBIT A RECOMMENDED FINDINGS OF FACT AND DETERMINATIONS PLN21-0005 2824 Halcyon Drive, APN 77C-1240-5 Chris Zaballos, D.R. Horton (Applicant) Douglas Storm, Douglas Storm Trust UDT (Property Owner) The City Council hereby approves a Planned Development and Site Plan Review (PLN21- 0005), subject to the following findings: Planned Development 1. That the proposed location of the use is in accord with the objectives of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. The proposed location of the single-family residential Planned Development, with the approval of the rezoning from IP Industrial Park/ RS Residential Single-Family to RS(PD) Residential Single-Family with a Planned Development Overlay District, is consistent with the objectives of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the RS Residential Single-Family zoning district since the site is surrounded residential single- family neighborhoods and the surrounding area to the development consists single- family residential properties. The Planned Development provides high quality urban design in comparison with development under the base district zoning regulations while preserving the character and quality of the surrounding neighborhood because the use and design of the Planned Development is similar to and consistent with the type and character of land uses found among the surrounding areas. While the proposed lots are smaller, the proposed project meets the Residential Single-Family zoning district standards for density, side, corner side, and rear minimum yards, maximum height, daylight planes, maximum lot coverage, maximum floor area ratio (FAR), fences, off-street parking and loading, refuse storage areas, underground utilities, performance standards and landscaping. With the exception needed for minimum lot area, minimum lot width, and minimum front yard, the base zoning district of RS Single-Family zoning district will remain in place with a Planned Development Overlay District that allows for a high-quality development that would otherwise not meet all applicable zoning standards. Therefore, it can be found that the proposed location of the single-family residential Planned Development is in accord with the objectives of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the RS Single- Family zoning district. The Planned Development is appropriately located in an area for residential development as residential development is in its surroundings and it is consistent with the General Plan designation of Low-Medium Density Residential. The project would comply with the standards of public health and safety established by the Municipal Code. The Planned Development protects the adjoining single-family residential districts from excessive loss of sun and light as the project complies with the daylight plane and the heights or the houses are comparable to the heights of the surrounding existing houses.
