Dear Mr. Li:
The public comment period for the Notice of Pending Decision ended on July 11,
2018. Staff did not receive any comments during the notification period. The
Development Services Department has conditionally approved the single-
family design review project dated June 21, 2018, for a new 4,413 square foot,
two-story, Mediterranean style residence, with attached, one-and-two car
garages at 2733 Holly Avenue. The proposed improvements will encroach into
the protected zone of three (3) protected trees. The conditions of approval are as
follows:
On the plans submitted for plan check in Building Services, the keystone
shall be removed from above the entry door.
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 project shall be developed and maintained by the applicant/property
owner in compliance with all of the recommended tree protection
measures listed in the Protected Tree Report prepared for this project to
the satisfaction of the Community Development Administrator or
designee.
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 officials 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.
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 30, 2018. You will be notified if an appeal is
filed.
Approval of SFADR 17-42 and TRE 17-39 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 Monday, August 20, 2018, this approval will become null and void.
This design approval shall expire in one year (July 31, 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.
