This project has been determined to be exempt from environmental review pursuant to the guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §21080(b)(9); Administrative Code, Title 14, Chapter 3, §15301, Class 1, (Existing Facilities), and there are no features that distinguish this project from others in the exempt class; therefore, there are no unusual circumstances. Section 15301 exempts additions to existing struc tures, provided the addition will not result in an increase of more than 10,000 square feet when the project is in an area where all public services and facilities are available to allow for maximum development permissible in the General Plan, and the area in which the project is located is not environmentally sensitive. The proposed 2,208 square-foot, two-story addition of an existing single-story dwelling does not exceed the threshold. The project is in an area where all public services and facilities are available to allow for maximum development permissible in the General Plan and the project location is not environmentally sensitive. Therefore, the proposal is exempt from environmental review.
For more information regarding this case please contact Katherine Moran at (626) 744-6740 or [email protected].

Hearing Officer 3 Hillside Development Permit #6838
January 6, 2021 1820 Linda Vista Avenue
ATTACHMENT A
SPECIFIC FINDINGS FOR HILLSIDE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT #6838
Hillside Development Permit
1. The proposed use is allowed with a Hillside Development Permit within the applicable zoning district and complies with all applicable provisions of this Zoning Code. A single -family residential use is a permitted use within the RS -4-HD (Residential Single -Family, Hillside Overlay District) Zoning District. The proposed two-story addition to an existing single-story dwelling will be in compliance with all applicable development standards, including maximum allowable floor area, lot coverage, setbacks, building height, and off-street parking requirements of the RS-4-HD Zoning District.
2. The location of the proposed use complies with the special purposes of this Zoning Code and the purposes of the applicable zoning district. The subject property is zoned RS-4-HD, which is d esignated primarily for single -family residential purposes. The subject site and the surrounding properties within the neighborhood are developed with single-family residences.
The proposed project will be consistent with existing development within the vi cinity. As analyzed, the project will meet all applicable development standards for the RS-4-HD zoning district and Hillside Overlay such as setbacks, lot coverage and floor area, height and neighborhood compatibility.
3. The proposed use is in conformance with the goals, policies, and objectives of the General Plan and the purpose and intent of any applicable specific plan. The subject site is designated as Low Density Residential in the General Plan Land Use Element. General Plan Land Use Policy 21.5 (Housing Character and Design) encourages the renovation of existing housing stock in single - and multi-family neighborhoods. When additions or replacement housing is proposed, these should reflect the unique neighborhood character and qualities, including lot sizes; building form, scale, massing, and relationship to street frontages, architectural design and landscaped setbacks. The proposed project would be a two-story addition to the rear of an existing single-story single-family residence. The residence is setback far from the street and is contextually appropriate with the character of the neighborhood, particularly in regards to building form, massing, and architectural design. The use of the site would remain a single- family residence; therefore, the cha racter of the single -family neighborhood would be maintained.
General Plan Land Use Policy 21.9 (Hillside Housing) requires residences to maintain appropriate scale, massing and access to residential structures located in hillside areas. The proposed t wo-story addition to the existing single -story residence complies with all the development standards set forth in the City’s Zoning Code. The proposed living area of 4,660 square feet contributes to a floor area ratio for the property that is compatible with the average floor area ratio of properties containing single -family residences within the immediate neighborhood. The residence proposes a blend of modern and ranch architectural styles utilizing earth tone colors and materials, an architectural style and color scheme that is compatible with the architectural guidelines of the City’s Hillside Development Ordinance.
Additionally, the scale and massing of the proposed two -story addition is consistent with the scale and setting of the surrounding residenc es. Vehicle access to the site will continue to occur from Linda Vista Avenue via the existing driveway approach. Therefore, staff finds that the project would be consistent with General Plan objectives and policies.

4. The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the use would not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use. The proposed addition will be constructed in such a manner as to minimize impacts to surrounding property owners. The proposed project meets all adopted Code requirements and will be subject to all current Code provisions. As proposed, the height of the proposed two -story addition will be below the maximum allowable height, and the floor area and lot coverage will be within the maximum floor area and lot coverage permitted for the site. Therefore no variances are needed.
Furthermore, the project is required to all applicable conditions of approval. Therefore, the proposed project will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of persons or properties within the surrounding neighborhood.
5. The use, as described and conditionally approved, would not be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood or to the general welfare of the City. The proposed two-story addition to the existing single -family residence will be constructed in compliance with the current Building Code and Zoning standards. Furthermore, the City’s plan check process will ensure that the proposed project will meet all of the applicable building and safety and fire requirements. The project must also comply with the conditions of approval required by the Public Works Department, Building and Safety Division, and Pasadena Fire Department. In addition, a Tree Protection Plan has been submitted to ensure that the project will comply with the City’s Tree Ordinance. A Soils Engineering Report has been submitted which reported that the site is considered feasible for construction of the proposed addition.
6. The design, location, operating characteristics, and size of the proposed use would be compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity in terms of aesthetic values, character, scale, and view protection. The use of the site will remain as a single -family residential use. The project complies with all the development standards of the Zoning Code.
The project is not located on the top of any prominent ridgelines and will not block protected views from neighboring properties. The proposed project will meet the guidelines related to exceeding the Neighborhood Compatibility requirements. The project has been designed with the use of natural materials, which are design elements that can be found in the neighborhood.
Additionally, the proposed single-family residence’s scale and massing is within the scale and setting of the surrounding residences. Thus, the project would be compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity in terms of aesthetic values, character, scale, and view protection.
7. The design, location, and size of proposed structures and/or additions or alterations to existing structures will be compatible with existing and anticipated future development on adjacent lots, as described in Section 17.29.060.D, and in terms of aest hetics, character, scale, and view protection. The Neighborhood Compatibility guidelines are established to ensure that a project is compatible with the character and scale of existing development in the vicinity. The size of the proposed project (not including the proposed garage) is 4,660 square feet, which exceeds the maximum allowable Neighborhood Compatibility floor area of 3,816 square feet by 844 square feet. However, the additions are designed to not impact views, be in compliance with the ridgeline protection standard, and have a floor area ratio consistent with the properties within a 500 foot radius. The project has been designed with the use of natural materials, which are materials compatible with the surrounding environment. Additionally, the proposed scale and massing is keeping with the scale and setting of the surrounding residences. Furthermore, as designed, the placement of the proposed additions would not impede the protected view of an adjoining property . Thus, the project is in scale with the Hearing Officer 5 Hillside Development Permit #6838
January 6, 2021 1820 Linda Vista Avenue
context and character of existing and future development in the neighborhood in terms of aesthetics, character, scale, and view protection.
8. The placement of proposed structures avoids the most steeply sloping portions of the site to the maximum extent feasible and minimizes alteration of hillside topography, drainage patterns, and vegetation. The proposed two-story addition to the existing single-story dwelling will be located towards the interior of the lot away from the public rights-of-way and the most steeply sloping portions of the site. As a result, the project requires min imal changes to grading, drainage, and landscaping. All protected trees will be retained further limiting impacts to the existing hillside topography. Any grading that will occur will comply with the City’s Grading and Building Codes. The project shall mee t all applicable SUSMP (Standard Urban Water Mitigation Plan) requirements of the Building Division and is required to submit a Tree Protection Plan as part of the building permit plan review process.

Meetings should be conducted online or via conference call when possible.
3. Provide personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, face shields, and face masks as appropriate for the activity being performed. Do not share personal protective equipment.
4. The owner/contractor shall designate a site specific COVID-19 Supervisor to enforce this guidance. A designated COVID-19 Supervisor shall be present on the construction site at all times during construction activities. The COVID-19 Supervisor can be an on-site worker who is designated to carry this role.
5. Identify “choke points” and “high-risk areas” where workers are forced to stand together, such as hallways, hoists and elevators, break areas, and buses, and control them so social distancing is maintained.
