SUBJECT: Single-Family Design Review No. SFADR 18-24
PROJECT ADDRESS: 617 Walnut Avenue
Dear Mr. Yu:
The public comment period for the Notice of Pending Decision ended on
December 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 December 5, 2018, for a new two-story 5,988 square foot single family
house with detached three-car garage at 617 Walnut 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 site plan submitted for Building plan check shall include the following
note: “Curbs, gutters, and sidewalks shall be removed and replaced per
City Standards.”
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.
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
Wednesday, January 16, 2019. You will be notified if an appeal is filed. Please
note that City Hall is closed on January 4, 2019.
Approval of SFADR 18-24 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 February 5, 2019, this approval will
become null and void.
This design approval shall expire in one year, on January 17, 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.
