CONSTRUCT A SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE AND AN

AT 11832 BURNS AVENUE (APN: 0275-282-14)
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report support Goal #3 Promote EconomicDevelopment.
PROPOSAL:
On November 3, 2016, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and
adopted Resolution 2016-24 approving Site and Architectural Review 14-06-A1 to
construct a single family residence and an accessory dwelling unit, located at 11832
Burns Avenue. The approval of the adopted resolution expired on November 3, 2017
and a project extension was not filed.
The Applicant, Mr. Joab Jerome, is requesting the re-approval of Site and Architectural
Review (SA) 14-06-A2 to construct a 1,615 square foot single family residence with two-
car garage, and a 1,200 square foot accessory dwelling unit with a two-car garage on a
single parcel. The project site measures 15,621 square feet and is zoned R1-7.2 Single
Family with an Agricultural Overlay. The project is located at 11832 Burns Street,
-282-14.
SITE AND SURROUNDINGAREA:
The site is currently vacant and relatively flat. Burns Avenue is a 60-foot wide local
street and it is surrounded by Single Family Residential (R 1-7.2) with an Agricultural
Overlay District (AG) to the north, south, west and east.
ANALYSIS:
Packet Pg. 4
A.1.a
General Plan and Zoning Consistency
The proposed single family residence and accessory dwelling unit conform with the Low
Density Residential (LDR) on the General Plan Land Use Map. The project is
consistent with the low-density residential designation as it permits the construction of
single family detached residential units. Burns Avenue is a Local Street and the
Applicant will be required to dedicate fifteen (15) feet to be consistent with the
Circulation Element. The proposal is also consistent with the Housing Element which
encourages infill housing and private development of underutilized land for residential
construction.
The site is zoned R1-7.2 Single Family with an Agriculture Overlay District (AG), which
is intended for single family residential uses and it permits accessory dwelling units,
provided that Chapter 18.69 - Accessory Dwelling Units zoning requirements have been
met. This zone district requires a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet.
The Municipal Code Chapter 18.69 - Accessory Dwelling Units requires for any
proposed accessory structure to have a lot size of one and one-half times the minimum
lot size of the underlying zone district, be no larger than fifty (50) percent of the living
area of the existing main dwelling, and in no instance shall any accessory dwelling unit
exceed 1,200 square feet. Government Code Section 65852.2 states attached
accessory dwelling units shall not exceed fifty (50) percent of the proposed existing
primary dwelling living area and detached accessory dwelling units shall not exceed
1,200 square feet.
The Applicant is proposing a detached 1,200 square feet accessory dwelling unit which
is larger than 50 percent of the living area of the proposed main residence; however,
cannot exceed 1,200 square foot the lot size and do not specifically tie it to the size of
the primary residence; therefore, the 50% size limitation assigned to attached units can
be interpreted to not apply to detached accessory dwelling units. In this instance, the
site is over two times the size of the required minimum lot size of the underlying zone
district. Therefore, the 1,200 square foot accessory dwelling unit is appropriate. In
addition, the accessory dwelling unit complies with applicable setbacks, lot coverage,
height requirement, and the proposal will complement the surrounded neighborhood.
In accordance with the zoning code, one of the two dwellings must be occupied by the
owner of the property and the accessory dwelling unit cannot be sold, transferred, or
assigned separately from the main single-family dwelling. A covenant to restrict the
property with the requirements of Chapter 18.69 will be required to be recorded prior to
Attachment: Staff Report_September 20, 2018 (Site and Architectural Review 14-06-A2)
issuance of a building permit. The applicant has stated he will reside in one of the two
homes.
Site Plan/Grading/Improvements
The site design conforms to setback, height limits, and lot coverage requirements of the
R1-7.2 zone. Improvements include a fifteen (15) feet dedication along Burns Avenue
and a twenty six (26) feet wide access easement that runs one-hundred and sixty three
Packet Pg. 5
A.1.a
(163) linear feet parallel to thesouth side of the property, providing access to the lot
directly behind on the parcel identified as APN: 0275-282-20. The access easement is
proposed to be granted to the lot behind the subject parcel. Staff has included a
condition of approval requiring the applicant to grant access easements for the benefit
of the adjacent property which include drainage and utility easements, and access
easement.
The project is also proposing six foot masonry walls on the north, south and west
property lines. In accordance with the Zoning Code, the Applicant is required to
complete all right-of-way improvements including, but not limited to, pavement, curb,
gutter, sidewalk, driveway approaches, street trees, and street lights.
Landscape Plan
The conceptual landscape plan shows grass, planters to the front and rear of the main
residence, and planters to the front of the accessory family unit. The applicant is
proposing a combination of trees and plants along the perimeter of the grass areas.
The plants the Applicant has selected are drought tolerant. The Applicant will also
include three street trees along Burns Avenue to be selected from the list of approved
trees per Chapter 12.28 Street and Parkway Trees. Staff has included a condition of
approval for the applicant to reduce the amount of grass. A final landscape and
irrigation plan in accordance with the City's Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance will be
required and landscape improvements shall be completed prior to final inspection.
Architectural Elevations/Floor Plans
The architectural elevations for the two residences show two single-story contemporary
style homes. The front residence is approximately 1,600 square feet with a 500 square
foot garage, three bedrooms and three baths. The accessory dwelling unit is 1,200
square feet with a 500 square foot garage, two bedrooms and two baths. Each unit has
indoor laundry a full kitchen and open dining and living room areas.
The applicant is proposing to use earth-tone color scheme for the two residences. The

CONCLUSION:
The proposed housing project is consistent with the General Plan Land Use, the
Municipal Code and the Government Code for accessory dwelling units. The
construction of these two residences and proposed landscape will complement and
enhance the surrounding area. Therefore, staff recommends that the Planning
Commission adopt the attached resolution re-establishing the approval of the project.

Family Residential with an Agricultural Overlay District. This zoning
designation is intended for lowsingle-familyresidential development and
the zoning permits the construction of an accessory dwelling unit. Per
Government Code Section 65852.2 attached accessory dwelling units
shall not exceed fifty (50) percent of the proposed existing primary
dwelling living area and detached accessory dwelling units shall not
exceed 1,200 square feet. The applicant is proposing a detached
accessory dwelling unit that complies with the Government Code Section
stated above and is consistent with the Municipal Code Chapter 18.69 -
Accessory Dwelling Units development standards and regulations
including the lot size, applicable setbacks, lot coverage and height
requirements.
The project site is designated Low Density Residential (LDR) on the
General Plan Land Use Map. The proposed development is consistent
with the low-density residential designation as it permits the construction
of single family detached residential units. On the Circulation Element
Burns Avenue is a Local Street, with a sixty (60) feet Right-of-Way; a
fifteen (15) feet dedication and street improvements will be required. The
proposed development is also consistent with the Housing Element which
encourages infill housing and private development of underutilized land for
residential construction by maintaining the physical character of the
neighborhood.
b. The location and configuration of all structures associated with this Project
are visually harmonious with this site and surrounding sites and structures,
that they do not interfere with the neighbors' privacy, that they do not
unnecessarily block scenic views from other structures and/or public areas
and are in scale with the townscape and natural landscape of the area.
The design of the proposed project will be complementary with existing
residential development in the neighborhood, which is surrounded by one
story single family residential. The accessory dwelling unit is nicely
integrated into the site and it complements the main residence. In
addition, the site will be appropriately landscaped, and the proposal will
not detract from any existing development or block scenic view.
c. The architectural design of structures, their materials and colors are
visually harmonious with the surrounding development, natural landforms,
are functional for the Project and are consistent with the Grand Terrace

d. The plan for landscaping and open spaces providesa functional and
visually pleasing setting for the structures on this site and is harmonious
with the natural landscape of the area and nearby developments. The
conceptual landscape plan shows grass, planters to the front and rear of
the main residence and planters to the front of the accessory dwelling unit.
The applicant is proposing a combination of trees and plants along the
perimeter of the grass areas. The plants the applicant has selected are
drought tolerant. The applicant will also include three street trees along
Burns Avenue and the species will be selected from the list of approved
trees per Chapter 12.28 Street and Parkway Trees. The proposed
landscape will be visually pleasing and will enhance the surrounding
developments.
e. There is no indiscriminate clearing of property, destruction of trees or
natural vegetation or the excessive and unsightly grading of hillsides, thus
the natural beauty of the City, its setting, and natural landforms are
preserved. There is no indiscriminate clearing of the lot. The land is
relatively flat, bare, and the project is not proposing significant grading.
