PROJECT ADDRESS: 83 W. Woodruff Avenue
Dear Mr. Lai:
The public comment period for the Notice of Pending Decision ended on July
23 2019. Staff did not receive any comments during the public comment
period. After careful consideration, 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 project dated May 30, 2019, for a 4,178 square foot two-
story single family dwelling with an attached 441 square foot two-car garage
at 83 W. Woodruff Avenue, subject to the following conditions:
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 coordinate with the Public Works
Services inspector before installing the new driveway and fence along the
frontage to ensure adequate protection is in place for the parkway trees.
3. The applicant/property owner shall comply with all City requirements
regarding building safety, fire prevention, detection, suppression,
emergency access, public right-of-wa y 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 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

Approval of SFADR 18-15 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 August 25, 2019, this approval will become null and void.
This design approval shall expire in one year (August 6, 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
