Document Description
The project proposes a minor deviation to STP-14-016, which was approved for a single-family dwelling and accessory structures. The applicant’s request is to update the plot plan to modify the rear yard landscaping in conformance with the Special Area Designator D1 for visually sensitive hillsides and ridgelines, with landscaping that has already been installed. This landscaping includes approximately 76 cape honeysuckle plants. The plans also indicate the location of 18 California Pepper trees that currently exist on the slope that replaced Sycamore and Strawberry trees (which is one less than shown on the previously permitted landscape plans from 2001 (PDS2001-3960-01-063) and 2015 (PDS2015-LP-15-022). The project has been found to comply with the D1 Special Area Designator, which states ridgeline and hillside landscaping shall comply with the following standards: Landscaping shall be composed primarily of indigenous, drought tolerant plant materials; and, landscaping shall be natural, meandering and informal in layout rather than planting in formal rows or straight lines.” The proposed minor deviation has been reviewed and found to be in compliance with these requirements. This site is subjected to the General Plan Regional Category Semi-Rural, Land Use Designation Specific Plan Area. Zoning for the site is Rural Residential (RR).
