SUBJECT: Single-Family Design Review No. SFADR 18-11
PROJECT ADDRESS: 2002 Bella Vista Avenue
Dear Mr. Morales:
The public comment period for the Notice of Pending Decision ended on June
25, 2018. Staff did not receive any comments during the notification period. Staff
has determined that the design of the addition is consistent with the Single
Family Design Guidelines. Therefore, the Development Services Department has
conditionally approved the single-family design review project dated May 1,
2018, for a new 260 square foot second-story addition, consisting of converting
an existing balcony into living area, located at the rear of an existing 5,248
square foot two-story residence and convert an existing 312 square foot one-
story guest house into a pool house at 2002 Bella Vista Avenue, subject to the
following conditions:
The applicant/property owner shall comply with all City requirements
regarding building safety, fire prevention, detection, suppression,
emergency access, public right-of-way improvements, parking, water
supply and water facilities, sewer facilities, trash reduction and recycling
requirements, and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) measures to the satisfaction of the Building Official, Fire
Marshal, Public Works Services Director, and Planning & Community
Development Administrator, or their respective designees. Compliance
with these requirements is to be determined by having fully detailed
construction plans submitted for plan check review and approval by the
foregoing City and employees.
The Applicant shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City of
Arcadia and its officials, officers, employees, and agents from and against
any claim, action, or proceeding against the City of Arcadia, its officials,
officers, employees or agents to attack, set aside, void, or annul any
approval or conditional approval of the City of Arcadia concerning this
project and/or land use decision, including but not limited to any approval
or conditional approval of the City Council, Planning Commission, or City
Staff, which action is brought within the time period provided for in
Government Code Section 66499.37 or other provision of law applicable
to this project or decision. The City shall promptly notify the Applicant of
any claim, action, or proceeding concerning the project and/or land use
decision and the City shall cooperate fully in the defense of the matter.
The City reserves the right, at its own option, to choose its own attorney
to represent the City, its officials, officers, employees, and agents in the
defense of the matter.
Prior to the issuance of a building permit for the pool house, a covenant in
a form approved by the City Attorney shall be recorded specifying its size
and attributes. The covenant shall state that the accessory structure shall
not be used for overnight stay, rented, or used as a legal dwelling unit.
Please refer to the enclosed handout for submittal requirements for the
covenant.
There is a ten (10) day appeal period for this application. To file an appeal, a
completed Appeal Application form must be submitted to the Community
Development Division along with a $600.00 appeal fee by 5:30 p.m. on Monday,
July 9, 2018. You will be notified if an appeal is filed. Please note that City Hall
will be closed on Friday, July 6, 2018.
This approval shall expire in one year, on July 10, 2019 from the effective date
unless a building permit is issued and the construction is diligently pursued, a
certificate of occupancy has been issued, or the approval is renewed.
An extension may be granted by the Development Services Director or
designee, or the Review Authority that approved the project for a maximum
period of one (1) year from the initial expiration date. An extension can only be
granted if the required findings can be made. Please note that acceptance of an
extension request does not indicate approval of an extension.
A building permit must be obtained prior to any construction activity. Please
contact Building Services at (626) 574-5416 to determine the type of
documentation, plans, and fees for the appropriate permit. This approval letter
must be presented to Building Services to initiate the permitting process.
