SUBJECT: Single-Family Architectural Design Review No. SFADR 18-17
PROJECT ADDRESS: 231 E. Haven Avenue
Dear Mr. Haq:
The public comment period for the Notice of Pending Decision ended on
February 28, 2019. During the public comment period, staff received one
letter from a neighbor who had concerns regarding the size of the proposed
home. After much consideration, the Development Services Department has
conditionally approved the single-family design review project, dated
February 11, 2019, to add a 127 square foot addition to the 1st floor, add a
one car garage, and add a 1,161 square foot 2nd floor addition to the existing
single story residence at 231 E. Haven Avenue. This project is subject to the
following conditions of approval:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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 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.
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, March 25, 2019. City Hall will be
closed on Friday, March 15, 2019. You will be notified if an appeal is filed.
Approval of SFADR 18-17 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 April 13, 2019, this approval will become null and void.
This design approval shall expire in one year (March 26, 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.
