PROJECT ANALYSIS

Project Summary

The subject request is a zone change from A1-1 (Agriculture) to (T)A2-1 (Agriculture) to allow the construction of four single-family residences. The subject zone change request is incidental to a subdivision application (AA-2006-1333-PMLA) approved by the Advisory Agency on September 20, 2007, allowing the subdivision of an 11-acre site into four parcels. The minimum area requirement in the A2 zone allows for one dwelling residential dwelling unit in a one-acre lot. ·

Staff recommends approval of the requested zone change from A 1-1 to (T)(Q)A2-1. The requested zone change would be consistent with the existing Minimum Residential land use plan designation and the proposed project will be developed with the same density and development standards as the surrounding agricultural and residential-estate zoned properties.

Background

The 11-acre site is an irregular-shaped parcel is within the Hillside Grading Area and its highest elevation is located at the southwestern lot with an approximate elevation of 1,170 feet above sea level. The site slopes downward from the southwestern lot to the north, south and east with an elevation difference of approximately 80 to 90 feet from the highest to the lowest point, which follows the contour along Oakdale Avenue. Portions of each lot are proposed to be graded (cut/fill) to allow larger single-family residential pad areas.

The surrounding residential properties to the west are developed with single-family dwellings zoned A2-1 and A 1-1. The. surrounding residential properties to the north and east are vacant and zoned (T)(Q)RE20-1. The surrounding residential properties to the south are developed with single-family dwellings and zoned A1-1 and A2-1

Surrounding land use designations are: Very Low I Residential to the north and Minimum Residential to the south, east and west.

Street Designations:

Oakdale Avenue is a dedicated private street 60 feet in width, unimproved and unpaved.

Related Cases:

Parcel Map AA-2006-1333-PMLA: Subdivision request on the subject site for four single-family residential lots with a private street easement. The Advisory Agency held a public hearing on September 20, 2007, and approved the subject Subdivision Request of four single-family residential lots.

Reports Received:

The site is within the Hillside Grading area and as part of this approval, the Applicant has been recommended by The Department of Building and Safety - Grading Division to comply with all the requirements and conditions contained in Inter-Departmental Letter date August 16, 2007.

APCNV-2006-1347 -ZC A-2

Hearing Officer Comments:

The subject request is a zone change from A1-1 (Agriculture) to A2-1 (Agriculture) to allow the construction of four single-family residences. Such request is incidental to the September 20, 2007, Advisory Agency approval of Parcel Map AA-2006-1333-PMLA.

According to this action, the project will take access from Oakdale Avenue, a private street. Entrance to the single-family residences would be provided by an internal private street easement connecting to Oakdale Avenue. The proposed internal private street will be located approximately 376 feet from the southern property line of the southeastern-most lot and will provide entrance to Lots A and 8 to the north and Lots C and D to the south.

The zone change request to A2-1 is consistent with the Community Plan designation of Minimum Residential that identifies corresponding A1, A2, RE40 and OS zone classifications. This is also consistent with the lot areas in the immediate community. Each lot is proposed to have an area of more than two acres per dwelling unit The A2-1 zone requires a minimum lot area of two acres per dwelling unit; whereas, the A1-1 requires a minimum lot area of five acres per dwelling unit Surrounding zones and density are the same as those proposed.

Staff recommends the attached T and Q conditions of approval to exact public improvements and to implement environmental mitigations developed through the environmental review process.

Issues

· At the hearing for-Parcel Map·AA-.:2006;.1333-PMLA, all exhibits· indicating the·correct property location in relation to their surroundings and right-of-ways were presented. However, the incorrect address was noted. The correct addresses have been included in this report.

Conclusion

The proposed Zone Change would continue a logical zoning and land use pattern. Surrounding properties have been approved for zone changes with similar densities with corresponding (T)(Q)RE40 and (T)A2-1 zone classifications.

Staff's recommendation of approval of the proposed Zone Change from A1-1 to (T)(Q)A2-1 is consistent with the Advisory Agency's incidental subdivision case AA-2006-1333-PMLA.

The proposed development will include grading to expand the single-family residences' construction areas. The proposed grading consists of cut/fill. Export of soil is not being proposed or granted in this permit.

b. Provide a standard of land use intensity and population density which will be compatible with street capacity, public service facilities and utilities, and topography,

·and in coordination with development in the remainder of the City.

The proposed development is in conformance with the land use pattern and intensity of those required by the General Plan and zoning requirements. Oakdale Avenue is a private roadway, and it is a 50-foot wide street providing access to other approved developments in the surrounding community. Associated with the subdivision case, the Bureau of Engineering requested improvements associated with public service facilities and utilities in Letter dated April 20, 2007.

B. Entitlement Findings

1. Zone Change, LA.M.C. Sec. 12.32.F: The requested zone change IS in conformance with the public necessity, convenience, general welfare, and/or good zoning practice in that:

Pursuant to Section 12.32 C 7 of the Municipal Code and based on these findings, the recommended action is deemed consistent with public necessity, convenience, general welfare, and good zoning practice. The applicant zone change request from A1-1 to A2-1 was requested incidental with Parcel Map M-2006-1333-PMLA.

The proposed zone change from the current A1-1 zone to the recommended (T)(Q)A2-1 zone will allow the site to be developed in keeping with the neighborhood character and in keeping with the goals and objectives of the Community Plan. The proposed zone change allows for the development of the sites with single-family residences with similar density as to those within the surrounding community

APCNV-2006-1347-ZC F-2

The A1-1 zone requires a minimum lot area of five acres, whereas the proposed zone change requires a minimum lot area of two acres. The recommended zone change will be consistent with previously approved zone changes within the immediate vicinity and will support the Plan Policy which encourages the preservation and enhancement of the varied and distinctive residential character of the Community.

C. CEQA Findings

Environmental. A Mitigated Negative Declaration (ENV 2006-1334-MND) was prepared for the proposed project On the basis of the whole of the record before the lead agency, including any comments received, the lead agency finds that, with imposition of the mitigation measures described in the Mitigated Negative Declaration, there is no substantial evidence that the proposed project will have a significant effect on the environment The attached Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the lead agency's independent judgment and analysis. The records upon which this decision is based are with the Environmental Review Section of the Planning Department in Room 750, 200 North Spring Street The subject environmental clearance has been corrected to eliminate redundant language.

Environmental impacts may result from erosion of sloped hillsides carrying sediments into the stormwater drainage channels. However, the potential impacts will be mitigated to a level of insignificance by incorporating stormwater pollution control measures. Ordinance No. 172,176 and Ordinance No. 173,494 specify Stormwater and Urban Runoff Pollution ·control which requires the application of Best Management Practi~es (BMPs). Chapter IX, Division 70 of the Los Angeles Municipal Code addresses grading; excavations, and fills. Applicants must meet the requirements of the Standard Urban Stormwater Mitigation Plan (SUSMP) apjxoved by Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board, including the following: (A copy of the SUSMP can be downloaded at: http://www.swrcb.ca.gov/rwqcb4/).

• Project applicants are required to. implement stormwater BMPs to retain or treat the runoff from a storm event producing 3/4 inch of rainfall in a 24 hour period. The design of structural BMPs sh<ill be in accordance with the Development Best Management Practices Handbook Part 8 Planning Activities. A signed certificate from a California licensed civil engineer or licensed architect that the proposed BMPs meet this numerical threshold standard is required.

•. Post development peak stormwater runoff discharge rates shall not exceed the estimated pre-development rate for developments where the increase peak stormwater disch_arge rate will result in increased potential for downstream erosion.

• Concentrate or cluster development on portions of a site while leaving the remaining land in a natural undisturbed condition. ·

" Limit clearing and grading of native vegetation at the project site to the minimum needed to build lots, allow access, and provide fire protection. ·

" Maximize trees and other vegetation at each site by planting additional vegetation, clustering tree areas, and promoting the use of native and/or drought tolerant plants.

• Cut and fill slopes in designated hillside areas shall be planted and irrigated to prevent erosion, reduce run-off velocities and to provide long-term stabilization of soil. Plant materials include: grass, shrubs, vines, ground covers, and trees.

" Incorporate appropriate erosion control and drainage devices, such as interceptor terraces, berms, vee-channels, and inlet and outlet structures, as specified by Section 91.7013 of the Building Code. Protect outlets of culverts, conduits or channels from erosion by discharge velocities by installing a rock outlet protection. Rock outlet protection is a physical devise composed of rock, grouted riprap, or concrete rubble placed at the outlet of a pipe. Install sediment traps below the pipe outlet. lnsp_~ct, repair, and maintain the outlet protection after each significant rain.

• Any connection to the sanitary sewer must have authorization from the Bureau of Sanitation.

" All storm drain inlets and catch basins within the project area must be stenciled with prohibitive language (such as NO DUMPING- DRAINS TO OCEAN) and/or graphical icons to discourage illegal dumping.
