PAGE 1 OF RESOLUTION NO. 7-98
RESOLVED that the Danville Town Council approves the Negative Declaration of
Environmental Significance and approves the Preliminary Development Plan - Rezoning request
PUD 96-05 per the conditions contained herein, and makes the following findings in support of
this action:
Final Development Plan - Major Subdivision
The proposed subdivision is in substantial conformance with the goals and policies of the
General Plan.
The design of the proposed subdivision is in substantial conformance with the applicable
zoning regulations.
The design of the subdivision and the type of associated improvements will not likely
cause serious public health problems because water and sanitary facilities will be available
to the 19 new parcels.
The density of the subdivision is physically suitable for the proposed density of
development.
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
since this property is in an area where residential development has previously occurred.
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.
Based on the completion of the Initial Study of Environmental Significance and comments
received, there is no substantial evidence before the Town that the project will have a
significant effect on the environment.

Conditions of this approval may require the applicant to install public
improvements on land over which neither the applicant, nor the Town, has
easement rights to allow for the installation of the improvements. The applicant

PAGE 12 OF RESOLUTION NO. 7-98
action is brought within the time period provided for in Section 66499.37. The

The proposed project shall conform to the Town's Stormwater Management and
Discharge Control Ordinance (Ord. No. 94-19) and all applicable construction and
post-construction Best Management Practices (BMPs) for the site. For example,
construction BMPs may include, but are not limited to: the storage and handling
of construction materials, street cleaning, proper disposal of wastes and debris,
painting, concrete operations, dewatering operations, pavement operations,
vehicle/equipment cleaning, maintenance and fueling and stabilization of
construction entrances. Training of contractors on BMPs for construction
activities is a requirement of this permit. At the discretion of the City Engineer,
a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) may be required for projects
under five acres.
If the project is over five acres in size, a Notice of Intent (NOD and Storm Water
Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) shall be filed with the Regional Water Quality
Control Board and a copy given to the City Engineer prior to commencement of
any construction activity. A SWPPP shall be prepared as part of the preparation
of project improvement plans. The SWPPP shall supplement the erosion control
plan prepared for the project, if one is required. These documents shall also be
kept on-site while the project is under construction.
As specified in the Public Facilities and Utilities section of the Old Blackhawk
Road Specific Plan, pedestrian/equestrian improvements are to be supplied within
the Specific Plan area. The improvements yet to be constructed, which will not
be in tract-type improvements, include: a pedestrian/equestrian bridge crossing
over Sycamore Creek at the existing staging area on Old Blackhawk Road; a
pedestrian crossing of the creek near the northern limits of the plan area; and
general landscape/trail improvements near the existing staging area. The
estimated costs for these unfunded improvements is $112,000_+. Remaining
undeveloped properties within the Old Blackhawk Road Specific Plan area shall
be responsible for contributing a pro-rata share for the installation of the
improvements. The equitable share for each development shall be based on the
PAGE 13 OF RESOLUTION NO, 7-98
gross acreage; type of development and development potential of each of the
remaining undeveloped properties. The precise amount of contribution shall be
determined by the Town (based on engineering estimates for the improvements).
The Town shall manage the bridge construction projects as Capital Improvement
Projects. Total costs of the bridge and abutments shall be determined by project
cost estimates secured by the Town.
As obligated by the Town's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance requirements, this 19
lot subdivision shall provide a minimum of two units which shall be made
available to a "moderate" income household, as defined by the State Department
of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and the United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These units may be
provided as detached units on two of the 19 lots created by this subdivision, or
may be provided as two units in a duet structure, established on a reconfigured lot
(the total number of units shall remain at 19 and in no case shall there be more
than 19 residential lots).
The sale price of these units shall not exceed the maximum price affordable to a
four-person household, earning a maximum of 110% of the median income
established for Contra Costa and Alameda Counties. The maximum sales price
shall be based on the following assumed variables: 7.375% interest rate;
maximum monthly assignment of housing costs of 35% of gross monthly income;
taxes at 1.25% of the purchase price of the home; homeowners' association dues
of $125.00 per month; and a 30-year fixed rate mortgage. The maximum
allowable percentage of down payment allowed is 15 percent unless otherwise
authorized by the Town.
The maximum sales price shall be tiered to the down payment made by the
qualifying purchaser (based on a 4-person household in Danville at the time of this
project approval), as follows:
Percent Down Payment Maximum Allowable Sale Price
5% down payment:
$237,150
10% down payment:
$248,475
15% down payment:
$260,900
Consistent with the staff-proposed amendment to the Inclusionary Housing
Ordinance (detailed in the Planning Commission staff report dated September 9,
PAGE 14 OF RESOLUTION NO. 7-98
1997), the applicant may also request Town Council authorization to comply with
the project's inclusionary housing requirements by establishing for-rent below
market rate (BMR) second units in five of the 19 residences within the project.
If, in conjunction with its review of the proj ect's Affordable Housing Agreement,
the Town Council determines that this alternate means of meeting the project's
inclusionary housing requirements is acceptable, the developer shall establish the
for-rent BMR second units and comply with all other applicable aspects of the
amended portion of the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance.
If this alternate approach is utilized, the proposed project architecture, which
includes the proposed for-rent BMR second unit, shall be modified as necessary
to ensure that the units remain affordable and available to the lower income
market segment. The proposed second unit floor plan shall include bathroom
layout modifications to physically discourage any possible future attempt to
directly incorporate the second unit into the primary unit as additional living space
for the primary residence.
Any modifications to the project to create an affordable unit or duet units shall be
reviewed and approved by the Town Council in conjunction with the approval of
the project's Affordable Housing Agreement, with such review occurring prior to
approval of the Final Map for the project. Such modifications to the project to
provide a moderate income unit or duet units does not require review and approval
by the Planning Commission. The architecture of any moderate income or duet
units shall required review and approval by the Design Review Board prior to
review by the Town Council.
