Document Description
The project consists of subdividing a vacant 6.03-acre site into 13 parcels for the development of 13 single-family detached dwellings. The project also includes a Hillside Development Permit because the project site is currently undeveloped with slopes ranging from less than 10 percent along Fir Ridge Drive to more than 25 percent at the eastern end of the project site, where the project site abuts existing residential development. The project would remove 47 trees, 38 of which are dead or fire damaged.
