than the ~rade of Foothill Boulevard. As a result, thJ proposed
apartlT!e.nt.s can ,be develoPed j n a ma'nner so that they. 90 not extend
into_ th,e. view of proper~y_ owners. north of,'Foothi 11 Boulevard.
Proxim.ity to the freeway, the elevation of the s.ite, 'a,nd the lack
of suitable.alternatives of land use make this si'te most appropriate
for gar~en apartment develop~ents. However, in order to protect the
high ql!.aJ.ity".)1.()me~ north of Foothill Bou'levard, the Staff believes
that the development should be maae subject to the restrictions
inherent in a "0" Overlay Zone.
RECOMMENDATION
.
The nature of the site and the impac~ of the freeway_in this
area make garden apartmen'ts a logical and rational use for this
str.iP. of land. Therefore, it is Planning,~t~ff's recommendation
that the rezoning be changed from the proposed R-3 to R-3 & D and
that the application be granted, subject to the following
conditions:
1. All conditions of approval as submitted in the report from
the Department of Public Works shall be cOmP1jed with to
the satisfaction of the Depa~tment of Public Works.
2. No structure on the lot shall be permitted to extend above
the grade of Foothi 1 1 Bou1 evard hi gher than the maxi,mum
height of a single family residence in a R-O Zone: Namely,
