WHEREAS, a staff report was submitted recommending that the Town Council approve
the request; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hear and consider all reports, recommendations,
and testimony submitted in writing and presented at the hearing; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED that the Danville Planning Commission approves the Mitigated Negative
Declaration of Environmental Significance and approves Dev elopment Plan request
DEV09 -0045 per the conditions contained herein, and makes the following findings in
support of this action:
FINDINGS
1. The proposed siting and architecture of the new residence will not conflict with the
intent and purposes of Ordinance 29 -84 ( "Scenic Hillside and Major Ridgeline
Development "), in that development will be achieved with minimal grading and
will not adversely impact predominate views of a Town - identified Scenic Hillside or
Major Ridgeline area.
2. The proposed development is in conformance with the goals and policies of the 2010
General Plan.
3. The proposed development is in conformance with the zoning district in which the
property is located.
EXCEPTION
1. Due to the application of this section, a structure could not otherwise be constructed
on the parcel. Constraints are primarily related to landslide and geotechnical issues
which have been identified which make alternate building sites unsafe and /or
infeasible.
2. The proposed siting, grading, landscaping and architecture are such that the
development will not conflict with the purposes set forth in subsection 32- 69.1.b.
3. Approval of the exception is based on the specific, unique characteristics of the site
as documented in the geotechnical and topographic reports for this project. As a
result, the requirement for the creation of a scenic easement covering the un-
buildable portions of the property is appropriate.

when considering ultimate development of the watershed. This flow limit
was agreed upon by Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. The applicant
shall mitigate this project's increase in peak flow rates within Alamo Creek
by implementing one of the following measures:
A. Constructing an on -site retention basin at the down gradient end of
the project site to reduce post- development flow levels to predicted
pre - development flow levels at the downstream project boundary and
at the County line. The preliminary design of the basin shall be based
on results from hydrology modeling which utilizes the CCCFC &WCD
model or other hydrology modeling which meets the approval of
CCCFC &WCD.
OR,
B. Obtain agreements and coordinate with other developments within
the Alamo Creek watershed to increase the size and capacity of off -
site retention basin(s), as necessary, to reduce this project's post -
development flows to predicted pre - development flow levels at the
County line. All off -site drainage mitigation in conjunction with any
other development within the Alamo Creek watershed shall be subject
to the review of the CCCFC &WCD and review and approval of the
Public Works Department.
OR,
C. Project storm water shall drain to the southern end of the project and

PAGE 12 OF RESOLUTION 2011 -03
storm water run -off from this project and other development in the
Lawrence Road area that will be served by this drainage system will
be mitigated by retention facilities downstream of the Lawrence Road
area. The applicant shall form a benefit assessment district or annex
into an existing benefit assessment district to collect revenue for this
project's fair share cost of maintaining the downstream storm water
retention facilities.
H. MISCELLANEOUS
