SUBJECT: Single-Family Architectural Design Review No. SFADR 18-36
and Protected Tree Encroachment No. TRE 19-13
PROJECT ADDRESS: 111 W. Las Flores Ave
Dear Mr. Yu:
The public comment period for the Notice of Pending Decision ended on June
13, 2019. Staff did not receive any comments during the public comment period.
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 April 16,
2019, for a new 7,460 square-foot, two-story, Spanish-style residence with an
attached, 660 square-feet, three-car garage and a detached, 563 square-foot
cabana at 111 W. Las Flores Ave. This project also includes a Protected Tree
Encroachment Permit application for the encroachment of a new block wall along
the east property line into the canopy of a protected Oak tree located on the
adjacent property. This project is subject to the following conditions of approval:
1. The project shall be developed and maintained by the property
owner/applicant in compliance with all of the recommended tree
protection measure listed in the Arborist Report, dated April 11, 2019.
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.
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 Community Development Division along with a
$600.00 appeal fee by 5:30 p.m. on Monday, July 1, 2019. City Hall will be closed on Friday,
June 21, 2019. You will be notified if an appeal is filed.
Approval of SFARD 18-36 and TRE 19-13 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 July 20, 2019, this approval will become null and void.
This design approval shall expire in one year (June 21, 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.
