RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the Town of Danville denies a Mitigated
Negative Declaration of Environmental Significance and denies Development Plan request
DP 2006-15, and makes the following findings in support of this action:
FINDINGS
1. The proposed siting and architecture of the new residence will conflict with the
intent and purposes of Ordinance 29-84 ("Scenic Hillside and Major Ridgeline
Development"), in that development would impact predominate views of a Town-
identified Scenic Hillside or Major Ridgeline area as the home is not comparable in
size with other homes in the area resulting in excessive massing of the home.
2. The proposed development is not in conformance with the goals and policies of the
2010 General Plan as the development would result in an overly massive home on a
ridgeline.
DENIED by the Danville Planning Commission at a special meeting on August 15,2006, by
the following vote:
