Page 2
5. The applicant is requesting variances from various zoning regulations including second
story setbacks, maximum ground coverage, recreational -leisure space with a minimum
dimension of 50 feet, and building separation.
6. Appropriate findings for approval of a precise plan of design are as follows:
a. That consideration has been given and restrictions imposed to the extent necessary to
permit the same degree of enjoyment of the subject property, but subject to the same
degree of protection of adjoining properties, as would be accorded in normal
circumstances, by the standard restrictions imposed by the Municipal Code.
b. That strict adherence to the development standards of the applicable zone and the
proposed precise plan will not measurably depreciate property values in the vicinity
or interfere with the use or enjoyment of property in the vicinity or endanger the
public peace, health, safety or general welfare.
C. That the project is reviewed in terms of its architectural design, general exterior
appearance, landscaping, color, texture of surface materials and exterior
construction, shape and bulk and other physical characteristics including location
and type of public utility facilities and is found to facilitate the orderly
development of the precise plan area.
7. Pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970,
a NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT has been prepared
indicating that although the project could have a significant effect on the environment, there
will not be a significant effect due to mitigating measures.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of West Covina does resolve as follows:
On the basis of the evidence presented, both oral and documentary, the City Council makes
the following findings:
a. The proposed project will provide needed housing in a multiple -family setting.
The proposed project consists of a 20-unit condominium development with units
ranging from 1,309 square feet to 1,444 square feet. The proposed maximum
height of the buildings are 29 feet. The proposed project meets or exceeds all
applicable Municipal Code requirements, with the exception of the second -story
setbacks, maximum ground coverage, recreational -leisure space with a minimum
dimension of 50 feet, and building separation. The subject property is adjacent to
multi -family residential properties to the west. The project has been designed so
as to adjust the use to the site and the surrounding area, and provide for the
necessary features and amenities to provide a desirable living environment for the
residents of the project.
b. The proposed project has been designed so as not to create any adverse visual or
physical impacts on surrounding properties. Vehicular and pedestrian access is
gained from Sunset Avenue, to the west of the site. The driveway approach to the
site will not interfere with the surrounding properties. The project will be
surrounded by a six-foot high block wall, which will serve as a buffer between the
site, and the surrounding properties. Parking is provided in two -car garages and
seven guest parking spaces are provided. The subject property is bordered on the
west by an apartment complex (Torrey Pines) and on the east, north and south
single-family residential houses. Landscaping will be required to provide buffers
• and soften the building appearance.
C. The design and architecture of the proposed buildings reflect standards and
materials that will make them architecturally interesting and aesthetically
appealing. The buildings would feature a stucco exterior with a hip roof with
"California Mission Blend" Spanish tile. The buildings would include a mixture
of "Kentucky" and "Chardonnay" stone veneer along the base of the building and
around the doorway. The buildings would feature architectural details such as
Spanish -style piping, corbels on second floor overhangs and window shutters.
Resolution No. 2007-24
Page 3
The windows on all elevations include a variety of window treatments such as
window trim, pot shelves, and wrought iron railings. The project proposes 7,453
square feet of landscaping, which constitutes 16 percent of the site area. Much of
the landscaped area is located around the perimeter of the site. Trees planted
within this area will serve as a visual buffer between the site and the surrounding
properties. The project also proposed two landscaped open space areas, which
• will afford recreational opportunities to the residents.
2. That pursuant to all of the evidence presented, both oral and documentary, and further based
on the findings above, Precise Plan No. 06-18 is approved subject to the provisions of the

described property shall conform to said plan and the conditions set forth herein which,
except as otherwise expressly indicated, shall be fully performed and completed or shall be
