consideration on July 15, 1986.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council that
Architectural Control 85-3 be denied and that the decision of the
Planning Commission be upheld based upon the following stated
findings:
A. The project is not consistent with all of the
applicable goals, objectives and policies of the
General Plan in that the project does not support,
in its appearance, a small-town village atmosphere
as required by the General Plan.
B. Specific subsidiary findings as to why the above
stated finding is made are as follows:
1. Excessive intensity of land use for the site
due to grading and massive cuts on the hillside
in close proximity to residential areas.
2. The proposed structure would foster an
overwhelming mass of scale in the immediate and
surrounding areas.
3. Height of the structure gives the appearance of
a three-story building, whereas the General
Plan discourages the appearance of three-story
buildings.
