consistent with the Grand Terrace Municipal Code and the General Plan in that it
meets the standards of the R1-10 zoning and the provisions of the City's General
Plan, LDR(Low-Density Residential) category.
2. The locations and configuration of all structures associated with this project are
visually harmonious with this site and surrounding sites and structures. They do not
interfere with the neighbors' privacy. They do not unnecessarily block scenic views
from other structures and/or public areas, and they are in scale with the townscape
and natural landscape of the area. The design and appearance of the proposed single
family residences will be consistent with existing residential development in the area
and the City. In addition, the site will be appropriately landscaped to blend in with
any existing development along Arliss Drive.
