Dear Mr. Yan:
The public comment period for the Notice of Pending Decision ended on
December 12, 2018. Staff did not receive any comments during the
notification period. After careful consideration, the Development Services
Department has conditionally approved the single-family design review
project dated November 26, 2018, for a new 3,403 square foot, two-story,
Spanish style residence, with attached one-and-two car garages and the
removal of two dead protected trees at 401 E. Lemon Avenue, subject to
the following conditions:
Prior to submitting plans for plan check in Building Services, the
shutters shown on the front elevation along E. Lemon Avenue shall
be removed.
Prior to submitting plans for plan check in Building Services, the
molding around the entry door on E. Lemon Avenue shall be
reduced in size. The revised molding shall be subject to review and
approval by the Planning & Community Development Administrator
or designee.
One, 36” box sycamore tree shall be planted along S. 4th Avenue.
The landscape plan shall be revised to show the proposed location
of the tree. The location shall be subject to review and approval by
the Planning & Community Development Administrator or designee.
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 12:30 p.m. on Monday, December 31, 2018. You
will be notified if an appeal is filed.
Approval of SFADR 17-30 and TRD 18-44 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 January 18, 2019, this approval will become null and
void.
This design approval shall expire in one year (January 1, 2020) 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.
