Dear Mr. Chan:
The public comment period for the Notice of Pending Decision ended on

Services Department has conditionally approved the single-family design
review project, dated November 27, 2018, a new 3,308 square foot, two-
story, Traditional-style residence with an attached two-car garage at 19 W.
Pamela Road. This project is subject to the following conditions of approval:
1. Prior to Plan Check submittal to Building Services, the Landscape

2. The site plan submitted for Building plan check shall include the
following note: “Curbs, gutters, and sidewalks shall be removed and
replaced.”
3. The project shall comply with the City’s Water Efficient Landscaping

for plan check in Building Services.
4. 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.
5. 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 defense of the matter. The City
reserves the right, at its own option, to choose its attorney to represent the City, its
officials, officers, employees, and agents in the defense of the matter.

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
