Protected Tree Encroachment Permit No. TRE 19-16
PROJECT ADDRESS: 76 W. Wistaria Avenue
Dear Mr. Chan:
The public comment period for the Notice of Pending Decision ended on May
21, 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 6,750 square foot, two-story residence with an attached two-car garage at
76 W. Wistaria Ave. This project is subject to the following conditions of
approval:
1. Applicant shall follow the tree protection fencing and notes per TRE 19-
16.
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
Ordinance (WELO). The application shall be submitted with the plans
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.
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 Monday, June 3, 2019.
You will be notified if an appeal is filed.
Approval of SFADR 19-06 and TRE 19-16 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 24, 2019, this approval will become
null and void.
This design approval shall expire in one year (June 4, 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.
