SUBJECT: Single-Family Architectural Design Review No. SFADR 19-20
PROJECT ADDRESS: 216 W. Longden Avenue
Dear Mr. Roche:
The public comment period for the Notice of Pending Decision ended on October
2, 2019. Staff did not receive any public comments. It was determined that the
addition is consistent with the Single Family Design Guidelines. Therefore, the
Development Services Department has conditionally approved the request to
increase the size of an existing rear side balcony/patio by 83 square feet at 216
W. Longden Avenue. This project is subject to the following conditions of
approval:
1. 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.
2. 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
Service Department along with a $600.00 appeal fee by 5:30 p.m. on Monday,
October 21, 2019. City Hall will be closed on Friday, October 11, 2019. You will
be notified if an appeal is filed.
Approval of SFADR 19-20 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
November 9, 2019, this approval will become null and void.
This design approval shall expire in one year (October 22, 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.
