RESOLUTION NO. 103-2006
APPROVING A NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL
SIGNIFICANCE AND APPROVING PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN -
REZONING REQUEST PUD 2005-01 AND FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN - MAJOR
SUBDIVISION REQUEST SD 9058 ALLOWING THE SUBDIVISION OF THE LOT
INTO TEN PARCELS AND ALLOWING THE DEVELOPMENT OF TEN SINGLE
FAMILY HOMES AND THREE SECOND DWELLING UNITS
(APN: 207-110-002- HANSEN LANE ESTATES)
WHEREAS, NORM AND KAY RHETT (Owners) and CLARUM HOMES (Applicant) have
requested approval of a Preliminary Development Plan - Rezoning request PUD 2005-01
and Final Development Plan - Major Subdivision request SD 9058 to rezone a 4.14 + / - acre
site from an R-15; Single Family Residential District to a P-1; Planned Unit Development
District, allowing the subdivision of the lot into ten parcels and allowing the development
of ten single family homes and a three second dwelling units; and
WHEREAS, the subject site is located at 216 Hansen Lane, and is further identified as
Assessor's Parcel Number 207-110-002; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Danville P-1; Planned Unit Development District Ordinance
requires approval of a Preliminary Development Plan - Rezoning request prior to the
approval of a Final Development Plan - Major Subdivision application; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did review the project at a noticed public hearing on
July 11, 2006 and did recommend approval of the project; and
WHEREAS, a Negative Declaration of Environmental Significance has been prepared for
the project indicating that no significant negative impacts are expected to be associated
with the project; and
WHEREAS, the public notice of this action was given in all respects as required by law;
and
WHEREAS, the Town Council did review the project at a noticed public hearing on August
8,2006; and
WHEREAS, the Town Council did hear and consider all reports, recommendations, and
testimony submitted in writing and presented at the hearing; and therefore, be it
RESOLVED that the Town Council of the Town of Danville approves a Negative
Declaration of Environmental Significance and approves Preliminary Development Plan-
Rezoning request PUD 2005-01 and Final Development Plan - Major Subdivision request
SD 9058, subject to the conditions contained herein, and make the following findings in
support of this action:
Preliminary Development Plan - Rezoning:
1. The proposed Rezoning will substantially comply with the 2010 General Plan,
because the zoning of P-1; Planned Unit Development District is consistent with the
site's land use designation of Residential - Single family - Low Density (1-3 units
per acre).
2. The uses authorized or proposed in the land use district are compatible within the
district and to uses authorized in adjacent districts. The proposed infill housing is an
efficient development pattern since it will utilize and add to existing infrastructure
that services the adjacent single family residential uses.
3. Community need has been demonstrated for the use proposed, because housing is a
needed use. One of the housing policies in the 2010 General Plan promotes use of a
variety of methods to encourage affordable housing production. The related second
dwelling units will have the potential to provide an alternative housing solution for
residents for whom home ownership is not possible.
Final Development Plan - Major Subdivision:
1. The proposed subdivision is in substantial conformance with the goals and policies
of the 2010 General Plan, which recognizes Danville's predominantly single family
residential character. The subdivision provides affordable housing units that are
consistent in scale and appearance of the existing residential neighborhood to t~e
extent reasonably possible, by incorporating the design of each second dwelling unit
into that of the primary residence and is generally imperceptible as an individual
unit.
2. The design of the proposed subdivision is in substantial conformance with the
applicable zoning regulations. The proposed net lot sizes will range from 13,229
square feet to 25,144 square feet, a variation that is in character with other
developments in the Sycamore South area. The proposed home on each lot
maintains the minimum structural setback standards of the R-15; Single Family
Residential District.
3. The design of the subdivision and the type of associated improvements will not
likely cause serious public health problems, because water and sanitary facilities
services will be available to the new parcels.
PAGE 2 OF RESOLUTION NO. 103-2006
4. The density of the subdivision is physically suitable for the proposed density of
development. The proposed development of ten units on a 4.14 + / - acre site falls
within the allowable density range at 2.42 units per acre, consistent with the site's
land use designation of Residential - Single family - Low Density (1-3 units per
acre).
5. 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 and there are existing facilities. The project will provide new
storm water treatment areas through indirect infiltration. The driveways, private
road, and sidewalks will be installed with interlocking pavers that drain to
bioretention areas. Bioretention areas will be installed for each lot to hold runoff and
allow it to percolate into engineered surface soils,prior to being discharged into
subsurface pipes and to local creeks. The proposed facilities will exceed the
minimum requirements of the Regional Water Quality Control Board for
stormwater quality.
6. 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. The development will create a public
access easement connecting Hansen Lane to the Iron Horse Trail.
