6 A t t a c h m e n t 1 F i n d i n g s a n d C o n d i t i o n s JULY 23, Queens Road [1300 Block at Glendale Path, APN ] Use Permit # to develop a vacant lot by constructing an approximately 3,680 square-foot, three-story single-family dwelling with an average height of 25 8 and a maximum height of CEQA FINDINGS 1. The project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA, Public Resources Code 21000, et seq. and California Code of Regulations, 15000, et seq.) pursuant to Section ( New Construction or Conversions of Small Structures ) and Section ( In-Fill Development Projects ) of the CEQA Guidelines. Furthermore, none of the exceptions in CEQA Guidelines Section apply, as follows: (a) the site is not located in an environmentally sensitive area, (b) there are no cumulative impacts, (c) there are no significant effects, (d) the project is not located near a scenic highway, (e) the project site is not located on a hazardous waste site pursuant to Government Code Section , and (f) the project will not affect any historical resource. GENERAL NON-DETRIMENT FINDING 2. Pursuant to Berkeley Municipal Code Section 23B , the Zoning Adjustments Board finds that the proposed project, under the circumstances of the particular case existing at the time at which the application is granted, will not be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the area or neighborhood of such proposed use or be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements of the adjacent properties, the surrounding area or neighborhood, or to the general welfare of the City, for the following reasons: A. The proposal to construct a new single-family residence on this vacant lot is consistent with City s policies and goals related to the creation of housing units and expansion of the City s housing supply. The single dwelling unit represents the maximum residential density permissible at this site. B. As prescribed under Sections 23D (Development Standards) and 080 (Parking), the project is found to be permissible because it meets the minimum standards for yard setbacks, usable open space and on-site parking while adhering to the maximum standards for residential density, building height, and lot coverage. C. Similar to the existing homes at 1290 Queens Road, immediately to the north, and 1310 Queens Road, immediately to the south, the proposed building will appear as a single story when viewed from directly in front of the house on Queens Road. Due to the steep westward downslope of lot, the full three-story height of the home will be primarily visible from the abutting properties homes to the north and south and from Glendale Path. Existing trees and other vegetation would obscure views of the home

7 FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS 0 QUEENS ROAD [1300 BLOCK] Page 2 of 8 July 23, 2015 from other vantage points. Because the building s footprint, height, and number of stories are comparable to the existing developments on either side of project site and in the vicinity, its scale is found to be consistent with its immediate context and, therefore, permissible at this location. D. Shadow Studies received February 10, 2014, and supplemental shadow studies received June 11, 2015 and June 15, 2015, confirm that the proposed home will not result in significant sunlight impacts to the nearest residences at 1290 Queens Road, immediately north, and 1310 Queens Road, immediately south. The proposed 19-foot setback from the home to the north (1290 Queens Road), and the location of the proposed home at the front of the lot, serve to minimize shading of the home to the north. Also with regard to shading of 1290 Queens Road, windows on the east side of the building s southeast elevation would experience some morning shade throughout the year, but the home would not experience any shading from the proposed home after noon. Numerous existing trees located along the southeast elevation of this home, as well as the oak tree and bay trees on the subject site, currently shade and filter sunlight reaching these windows (recent tree removal for story pole installation has reduced shadows). In addition, the existing home south of the project site (1310 Queens Road) has a long roof ridgeline that is approximately 10 feet higher in elevation than the proposed home, and 20 feet higher than the roof of 1290 Queens Road. The home currently casts shadows onto 1290 Queens Road in the morning hours. Because shading of 1290 Queens Road would be limited to the mornings, and because the home is currently shaded by existing trees and the home at 1310 Queens Road, staff does not believe that shading from the project would be detrimental. The home to the south (1310 Queens Road) would experience shading of one window on the north elevation in the late summer afternoon and before sunset. The window is currently shaded during these periods by the existing bay trees. This is not a primary window, as most windows face west, toward the bay. For these reasons, the proposed project would not result in significant sunlight impacts and, therefore, is found be nondetrimental. E. The west-facing views of San Francisco Bay are defined as protected views in BMC Section 23F.040 (Definitions view corridors). Due to the steep topography of the area and the location and orientation of this property in relation to neighboring developments, this proposal will not result in impacts to protected views. The proposed home would be located substantially below the west-facing site lines of the confronting residence on the east side of Queens Road, addressed as 13 Fairlawn, and the home to the northeast at 1293 Queens Road. Removal of the multi-trunked bay trees, which have a thick canopy due to previous topping, will improve views over the site from the east. Further, the home will not obstruct west-facing views of the neighbors to the north and south. Therefore, staff believes that this proposal is non-detrimental with respect to potential view impacts. F. The proposed design will preserve the existing coast live oak tree that exists on the north property line, adjacent to Glendale Path. An arborist has reviewed the tree and its relationship to the proposed improvements. Due to the steep slope, the majority of the tree s roots are most likely located directly below or on the uphill side of the trunk; substantial roots are unlikely to extend downhill near the perimeter foundation for the home. Pruning of branches and roots (if present) would be required within approximately three feet of the proposed perimeter foundation and roof, and will be File: G:\LANDUSE\Projects by Address\Queens\ vacant lot APN \UP \Document Finals\ _ZAB\ _ZAB_ATT1_FC_0 Queens Road.docx

8 0 QUEENS ROAD [1300 BLOCK] FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS July 23, 2015 Page 3 of 8 monitored and directed by an arborist to ensure that health of the tree. The planned removal of the existing bay trees would benefit the coast live oak by allowing more light to reach the tree. G. Although the project site is within an earthquake-induced landslide hazard zone mapped by the California Geological Survey, field reconnaissance by the geotechnical consultants did not identify signs of active or potentially active landslides within the project site. This conclusion is consistent with other recent investigations on nearby properties (1400, 1419, and 1381 Queens Road). The applicant s geotechnical consultant concluded that the site is underlain at shallow to moderate depth by relatively competent bedrock and concludes that the risk of seismically-induced land sliding is low. The City s geotechnical peer review consultant agrees with this conclusion. Potential instability of undocumented fill materials on the very steep slopes located above the residence (north and south of the driveway, likely from the original road cut) was also identified as a potential concern, and these soils can be stabilized using drilled piers and retaining walls as recommended by the geotechnical report. OTHER REQUIRED FINDINGS 3. Pursuant to Berkeley Municipal Code Section 23E (Hillside District Required Findings) Paragraph A, the Zoning Adjustments Board finds that the proposed project, under the circumstances of the particular case existing at the time at which the application is granted, will not be detrimental pursuant to Section 23B , as specified above.
