PAGE I OF RESOLUTION NO. 2000-01
WHEREAS, a staff report was submitted recommending that the Planning Commission 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 Planning Commission of the Town of Danville recommends the Town
Council adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Significance and approve
Preliminary Development Plan - Rezoning request PUD 99-01, and Final Development Plan -
Major Subdivision request SD 8283, per the conditions contained herein, and makes the
following findings in support of this action:
Preliminary Development Plan - Rezoning:
The proposed Rezoning will substantially comply with the Danville 2010 General Plan
since the proposed use is residential and the General Plan land use designation allows
residential uses.
The uses authorized or proposed in the land use district are compatible within the district
and to uses authorized in adjacent districts.
Community need has been demonstrated for the use proposed and the off-site public
improvements which will be contributed to by this development.
There is no evidence before the Town that the proposed project will have potential for an
adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends.
The proposed Planned Unit Development is in conformance with the Danville 2010
General Plan goals and policies and the Sycamore Valley Specific Plan.
The Planned Unit Development will constitute a residential environment of sustained
desirability and stability, and will be in harmony with the character of the surrounding
existing neighborhood and the ultimate development planned for the subject area.
Final Development Plan - Major Subdivision:
The proposed subdivision is in substantial conformance with the goals and policies of the
Danville 2010 General Plan because the site allows for the development of up to 14
homes and only 10 are being proposed.
PAGE 2 OF RESOLUTION NO. 2000-01
The design of the proposed subdivision is in substantial conformance with the applicable
zoning regulations because the site is being rezoned to allow development which is
consistent with the underlying General Plan land use designation; Residential - Single
Family - Low Density (1-3 units per acre) and Public and Open Space - General Open
Space.
The design of the subdivision and the type of associated improvements will not likely
cause serious public health problems because water and sanitary utility services will be
available to the 10 new parcels.
The density of the subdivision is physically suitable for the subject site and surrounding
neighborhood because the density proposed is less that the allowed density for a parcel
of this size and as allowed under the 2010 General Plan.
The design of the proposed subdivision and improvements are not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or subsequently injure fish or wildlife or their habitat
because this project will be conditioned to include mitigation measures to ensure the creek
improvements proposed for Sycamore Creek would restrict further erosion, and provide
bank stabilization, and create other environmental habitat for fish and wildlife.
The design of the proposed subdivision and proposed improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within
the proposed subdivision because the proposed development would create new easements
for the public to gain access to a proposed trail through the project which currently does
not exist.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL

conditions of approval.
Conditions of approval typed in italicized text are mitigation measures derived from the Mitigated
Negative Declaration of Environmental Significance prepared for the project.
