residences; and
WHEREAS, a Tree Removal permit (TR20-0045) is requested to allow the removal of four

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 Danville Planning Commission approves the Major Subdivision –
Tentative Map, Final Development Plan (DEV20-0011) and Tree Removal (TR20-0045)
requests subject to the conditions contained herein, and make the following findings in
support of this action:
Final Development Plan - Major Subdivision:
1.The proposed subdivision is in substantial conformance with the goals and policies
of the 2030 General Plan, in that, it includes the retention of multiple housing sites
and the construction of high-quality residential neighborhoods that are compatible
with the existing neighborhood.
2.The design of the proposed subdivision is in substantial conformance with the
applicable P-1; Planned Unit Development zoning regulations.
3.The design of the subdivision and the type of associated improvements will not
likely cause serious public health problems because water and sanitary facility
services will be available to the five new lots and the site will connect to public
water and sewer facilities.
4.The density of the subdivision is physically suitable for the proposed density of
development as the development is similar to the three previous developments
along the east side of El Dorado Avenue.
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.
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.

PAGE 3 OF RESOLUTION NO. 2020-12
Tree Removal Permit
1.Necessity. Removal of the four Town-protected trees is warranted, in that they are
in poor health and the three Oak trees have a significant lean. The Redwood tree is
in a location planned to be part of the project’s driveway, and therefore is necessary
to be removed to allow for the reasonable development, use and enjoyment of the
property.
2.Erosion/surface water flow. Removal of the Town-protected trees will not cause
significant soil erosion or cause a significant diversion or increase in the flow of
surface water, in that proposed site improvements and drainage improvements will
stabilize the site and provide for proper storm water runoff.
3.Visual effects. Tree removal will not result in significant visual impacts, in that the
project site and surrounding neighborhood contains a significant number of
additional trees not effected by the development. In addition, the project proponent
will be required to replace all Town-protected trees removed with trees of an
approved species and of a cumulative number and diameter necessary to equal the
diameter of the tree(s) which have been approved for removal in accordance with
the Town’s Tree Preservation Ordinance.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
Conditions of approval with an asterisk ("*") in the left-hand column are standard project
conditions of approval.
Unless otherwise specified, the following conditions shall be complied with prior to the
