SUBJECT: Single-Family Architectural Design Review No. SFADR 19-01
PROJECT ADDRESS: 29 W. Camino Real Ave.
Dear Mr. Li:
The public comment period for the Notice of Pending Decision ended on May 7,
2019. Staff 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 for a new 5,010 square
foot, two-story residence with an attached three-car garage at 29 W. Camino
Real Ave. This project is subject to the following conditions of approval:
1. The site plan submitted for Building plan check shall include the following
note: “Curbs, gutters, and sidewalks shall be removed and replaced.”
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
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 Development Services Department
along with a $600.00 appeal fee by 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 22, 2019. You will
be notified if an appeal is filed.
Approval of SFADR 19-01 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 June 9, 2019, this approval will become null and void.
This design approval shall expire in one year (June 10, 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.
