Dear Mr. Yu:
The public comment period for the Notice of Pending Decision ended on July 26, 2018.
Staff did not receive any comments during the notification period. Staff has determined
that the design of the house is consistent with the Single Family Design Guidelines.
Therefore, the Development Services Department has conditionally approved the
single-family design review project dated July 2, 2018, for a new two-story 5,988 square
foot single family house with attached three-car garage at 2506 Florence Avenue,
subject to the following conditions:
The project shall comply with the City’s Water Efficient Landscaping Ordinance
(WELO). The application shall be submitted with the plans for plan check in
Building Services.
The tree protection fencing shall be installed prior to demolition and the plan
submitted for TRE 18-21 shall be adhered to for the protection of the redwood
tree in the front yard.
The site plan submitted for Building plan check shall include the following note:
“Curbs, gutters, and sidewalks shall be removed and replaced.”
The existing hedges in both side and rear yards shall be maintained and
protected in place during construction. If they are damaged or removed,
adequate landscape shall be planted for screening purposes. The landscaping
shall be subject to review by Planning Services.
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, a ction,
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.
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, August 20, 2018. You will be
notified if an appeal is filed. Please note that City Hall is closed on August 17, 2018.
Approval of SFADR 18-06 and TRE 18-21 shall not be of effect unless the property
owner and applicant have executed and filed the enclosed Acceptance Form to indicate
awareness and acceptance of these conditions of approval. The Acceptance Form is due
now and if it is not received by September 6, 2018, this approval will become null and
void.
This design approval shall expire in one year, on August 21, 2019 from the effective date
unless plans are submitted to Building Services for plan-check, a building permit is issued
and the construction is diligently pursued, a certificate of occupancy has been issued, or
the approval is renewed. The final plans must be consistent with the approved design
concept plans and any conditions of approval. Any inconsistency from the approved
design concept plans may preclude the issuance of a building permit.
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.
