CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
Conditions of approval with an asterisk ("*") in the left-hand column are standard
project conditions of approval. Conditions of approval which are in italic text are
mitigation measures.
Unless otherwise specified, the following conditions shall be complied with prior to
the issuance of a building permit for the project. Each item is subject to review and
approval by the Planning Division unless otherwise specified.

* 1. This approval is for a revised Final Development Plan to allow the
PAGE 2 OF RESOLUTION NO. 95-O1
development of a 52 unit 34,300 +/- s.f. - 116 bed skilled nursing facility,
also known as Danville Manor. Development shall be substantially as
shown on the project drawings as follows, except as may be modified by
conditions contained herein;
Site Plan, Floor Plans, Exterior Elevations, and Preliminary
Landscape Plan labeled "Danville Manor", as prepared by Stephen
E. Harriman A.I.A. & Associates, dated received by the Planning
Division on November 28, 1994.

schedule in effect at the time the relevant permits are secured, and shall be paid
prior to issuance of said permit and prior to any Town Council final approval
action. Notice should be taken specifically of the Town's Transportation
Improvement Program (TIP), Park Land In-lieu and Child Care Facilities, Flood
Control & Water Conservation District (Drainage Areas and Mitigation), Plan
Checking, Inspection, Benefit Districts and Density Increase fees. The TIP fee
shall be based on the conversion of trips per bed per day for this facility to

require Planning Commission approval through the Development Plan
review process.
Conditions of this approval may require the applicant to install public
improvements on land neither the applicant, nor the Town, has
easement rights to allow the improvements to be installed upon. The
applicant shall be responsible for acquisition of said easement rights
through private negotiations. If the applicant is unsuccessful in
negotiations, the applicant shall apply to the Town for use of eminent
domain powers in accordance with Town Resolution No. 78-85. All
easement rights shall be secured prior to Town Council final approval of
any subdivision map. All costs associated with such acquisition shall be
borne by the applicant.
Pursuant to Government Code section 66474.9, the applicant (including
the applicant or any agent thereof) shall defend, indemnify, and hold
harmless the Town of Danville and its agents, officers, and employees

officers, or employees to attack, set aside, void, or annul, the Town's
approval concerning this Development Plan application, which action is
brought within the time period provided for in Section 66499.37. The
Town will promptly notify the applicant of any such claim, action, or
proceeding and cooperate fully in the defense.
Development of this project shall take place in full compliance with all
recommendations included in the Acoustical Study for this site
prepared by Charles Salter and Associates, dated February 12, 1991.
PAGE 12 OF RESOLUTION NO. 95-01
o
To verify the mitigation measures cited in the acoustical study
prepared for this project have been accomplished, the developer shall
conduct on-site noise monitoring prior to occupancy of the facility. If
the required interior noise level (45 dB) is not met, additional
mitigation measures shall be implemented, to the satisfaction of the
Chief Building Official, to reduce the noise to be within the limits
specified by the acoustical report.
Prior to issuance of a Building Permit for the project, the developer shall
provide the Town with documentation that all requirements of the Contra
Costa County Flood Control District have been met. The district owns a
20 foot access easement along the southern boundary of this property
and have indicated a willingness to abandon this easement. Proof of
abandonment or other means satisfactory to the District shall be
accomplished prior to issuance of a Building Permit for the project.
In an effort to further screen the facility from noise from the adjoining
1-680 freeway, the developer shall diligently pursue the necessary
approvals through Cai Trans to secure right of entry and the
appropriate easement/license to allow the installation, at the
developer's cost, of off-site landscaping within the State controlled
freeway right-of-way. If the necessary rights are secured, said planting
shall be evergreen tree massing along the entire west side of the facility,
on the freeway side of the Cal Trans soundwall. Planting ratio shall be
a minimum of 1 tree for each 15 linear feet (covering a zone extending
from 50' +/- north of the building footprint to 100' +/- south of the
building footprinO. Total tree count is estimated to be 35-50 trees.
Tree species utilized shall be approved by the Town and Cal Trans.
Tree size shall be minimum 15 gallon box specimen. The trees shall be
irrigated by an automatic drip system, acceptable to the Town and Cal
Trans, that can be abandoned once the planting material has
established itself (3-5 years). Relief from the condition shall be granted
only upon the submittal of adequate documentation that Cal Trans
will not grant the required easement/license agreement.
This development shall establish, and maintain in perpetuity, a minimum
of 15 percent of project beds (17 beds) as affordable beds. The
affordable beds shall be reserved for use by "low" and "moderate" income
occupants. Affordable beds shall have a rental rate which does not
exceed the upper limit of the allowable rental price affordable to
PAGE 13 OF RESOLUTION NO. 95-01
II
moderate income households (assigning 30% of monthly income towards
rent), as established by the State Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD) and the United States Department of Housing and
Community Development (HUD). Occupants of the affordable beds shall
pay the standard rate for other services provided by the facility. A deed
restriction shall be recorded to assure compliance with the obligations
established by this condition of approval. On an annual basis the facility
operator shall furnish the Town with documentation that this condition is
being met. Modifications to the requirements of this condition may be
considered only upon approval of a Revised Final Development Plan,
approved by the Town Council, based on findings that, despite the
availability of the beds, qualified occupants cannot be found or
maintained. Modifications may also be considered, through the same
process outlined above, based on findings that the project cannot secure
financing as a result of the obligation to reserve 15% of the project beds
as affordable (appropriate documentation that diligent efforts to secure
financing must be submitted to the Town and will require approval by
the Town's Planning Commission).
