The Highlands; Project/Tract Map No. 065062

The proposed project is for a zone change to R-2-DP (Two Family Residence, Development Program), a plan amendment to the Altadena Community Plan to allow low-medium density residential development (6-12 units/acre), a conditional use permit with a development program, and a Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 065062 for construction of 49 residential condominiums in 26 buildings which will have 46 two-story, 1,400 square foot duplex units and 3 two-story single family units over two lots totaling 3.47 net acres. Every residence will have a two car garage, and 15 additional guest parking spaces will be provided for on site. An oak tree permit has been filed for seven oak trees, one to be removed and the remaining six for encroachment. The two lots are currently located in the R-1-7,500 (Single Family Residence, 7,500 square foot minimum size lot required), R-2 (Two Family Residence), and C-3 (Unlimited Commercial) Zones, in the unincorporated community of Altadena. Proposed Lot 1 of the project will be accessed through a private driveway and a fire lane from Ventura Street on the north which is also a public interior collector street. Proposed Lot 2, located on the south side of Mountain View Street, will be accessible through a private driveway and fire lane from Fair Oaks Avenue which is a public secondary highway that runs north and south along the east end property frontage. All units will be served by a common 26 foot wide private driveway/fire lane. All existing structures will be removed, and a six to ten foot high block wall is proposed along Fair Oaks Avenue on both sides. Grading will consist of 9,500 cubic yards of cut and 2,300 cubic yards of fill, with 18,500 cubic yards of remedial grading on site.
