Bo That the Planning Commission discussed said application at a public hearing in conjunction with Vesting Tentative Tract 14410 on September 25, 1995. Ce That in conjunction with said Hillside Review application, the applicant submitted the following information: · A conceptual landscaping plan for the planting of temporary and permanent slopes. · A conceptual grading plan that included areas of proposed cut and fill, location of pads and slope analysis of hillside areas including pertinent cross section profiles. · A preliminary geological investigation and soils report. D· That pursuant to Section 8914(c) (8) of the Tustin City Code, the Planning Commission has reviewed the subject application for Hillside Review using the guidelines for hillside grading contained in the Grading Manual to ensure the attainment of the following objectives: Compliance with the Grading Manual and Hillside Guidelines contained in the manual. 9 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 25 Resolution No. 3391 Page 2 · · · · · · · Compliahc~'~th guidelines established in the September, 1976 Fire Protection Planning Task Force Report adopted by the Orange County Board of Supervisors and entitled "Fire Hazard Background Report and Recommendations for the Reduction of Fire Hazard at the Natural Open Space/Urban Development Interface Orange County, California." Provision of fire-resistant roofing materials, Class A minimum. Visual, drainage and slope erosion impacts from any proposed parcelization resulting from slope conditions are within either the property owner's' management and control or the Homeowners' Association, whichever is applicable. Sites are planned in such a way so as to preserve or enhance important vistas and maintain the overall landform character of the land use area, particularly those seen from public places. Preservation of the open space values of the central Peters Canyon ridge as identified in the East Tustin Specific Plan by excluding buildings and overhead utility lines from being developed on the top of the ridgeline and by careful siting of structures and landscaping adjacent to the ridgeline. Where feasible, grading and siting reflects the natural topography of the land, drainage patterns and minimizes creation of excessively large leveled areas by grading. Grading on hillside areas will soften hard edges left by cut and fill operations. Where an adverse visual impact may occur, rounded finished contours have been required. Grading slopes (cut of fill), including roadsides, will undergo permanent re- vegetation in a timely manner to minimize change of erosion and siltation. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Resolution No. 3391 Page 3 10. Provision for drainage and erosion control made to avoid any damage to existing landforms. 11. Provision and approval of an independent engineering study concerning the potential impacts of slope instability, liquefaction, landslide and seismic potential for proposed development within a Geologic Hazard Special Study Zone. 12. The natural profile and landform character of the knoll identified in the East Tustin Specific Plan is maintained. 13. Roadway alignment and grading impacts in hillside areas are minimized and hillside roadways are designed consistent with guidelines contained in the Grading Manual. 14. Slope gradients will vary when adjacent to roadways to create open areas to be planted, thus softening the appearance of man-made slopes. 15. Preparation and recordation of a declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions providing for the development and maintenance of slopes and drainage devices will be a condition of approval on Vesting Tentative Tract 14410. II. The Planning Com~.ission hereby approves Hillside Review 95-001 for Vesting Tentative Tract Map 14410, subject to the conditions contained in Exhibit A attached hereto. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 -9 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Resolution No. 3391 Page 4 PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Planning Commission of the City of Tustin at a regular meeting held on the 25th day of September, 1995. · Recording Secretary Cha irpe~son STATE OF CALIFORNIA ) COUNTY OF ORANGE ) CITY OF TUSTIN ) I, BARBARA REYES the undersigned, hereby certify that I am the Recording Secretary of the Planning Commission of the City of Tustin, California; that Resolution No. 3391 was duly passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the Tustin Planning Commission, held on the 25th day of September, 1995.
