Analysis
General Plan Consistency
The Project site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Low Density Residential (LDR). The
LDR designation provides for single-family detached homes, secondary residential units, hobby
farming and keeping of animals, public and quasi-public uses, and similar and compatible uses.
The residential density for LDR is between one (1) and three (3) dwelling units per net acre, which
translates to a minimum lot size of 14,520 SF. Staff from Planning, Building and Safety, Fire, and
Engineering Departments have reviewed the proposed project to ensure that the project meets
all current development standards and have conditioned the project to mitigate any potential
issues. The Project is compatible with the existing surrounding uses and is found to be consistent
with the General Plan.
Municipal Code Consistency
The Project is located within the Single-Family Residential (R-1) Zoning designation. The R-1
zone identifies single-family residences as permitted uses provided they meet all of the
development standards of the zone. Staff has reviewed the proposed project with respect to the
relevant development standards as identified in the Municipal Code and has detailed the
requirements and the proposed development standards as follows:
Development Standard Required Proposed
Building Height 30’-0”16’-0”
Front Setback 20’-0”20’-0”
Side Setback (Interior)5’-0”8’-0”
Side Setback (Interior)5’-0”8’-0”
Rear Setback 20’-0”58’-0”+
Maximum Lot Coverage*50%33.14%
Minimum dwelling unit size 1,000 SF 2,068 SF
*“Lot coverage” means the gross area of a lot or parcel of land occupied by all of the ground floor of a building or structure which is under roof. As a percentage, it is the relationship between the ground floor area of the building
under roof and the net area of the site.

The Project is required to provide two parking spaces per dwelling unit in a garage, plus two open
spaces, which may be located in the driveway in a tandem position, in front of the garage door.
The proposed 427 SF garage will provide adequate space for two (2) cars and the driveway area
provides adequate parking area for the residential use.
The proposed Project provides an efficient and safe site plan that provides adequate circulation.
The proposed Project provides all the required amenities as identified for Residential
Developments. The proposed Project is a conventional single-family residence with La Habra
stucco, Owens corning roofing shingles and Coronado stone veneer. The proposed landscaping
plan will complement the architectural design of the residence.
Staff from Planning, Building and Safety, Fire, and Engineering have reviewed the proposed
Project. Appropriate Conditions of Approval have been included that would mitigate any potential
issues associated with the future development and establishment of use.
Environmental Determination
Staff has determined that the proposed Project is exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15303 (Class 3: New Construction or Conversion of Small
Structures). Class 3 consists of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small
facilities or structures: (a) one single-family residence, or a second dwelling unit in a residential
zone. The Project is proposing to construct a 2,068 SF single-family residence and attached
garage on a lot that has a residential zoning designation (R-1).
