PAGE I OF RESOLUTION NO. 2000-25
RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the Town of Danville denies without prejudice
Development Plan request DP 2000-32 and Variance request VAR 2000-23:
Development Plan
The proposed development is not in conformance with the goals and policies of the 2010
General Plan.
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 adversely impact
predominate views of a Town-identified Scenic Hillside or Major Ridgeline area.
The proposed development is not in conformance with the zoning district in which the
property is located since the variance was requested for the sideyard setback.
The proposed siting, grading, landscaping and architecture are such that the development
will conflict with the purposes of the Scenic Hillside and Major Ridgeline Ordinance due
to the mass Of the addition.
Variance,
The variance does constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations
on other properties in the area.
