FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT
WHEREAS, S & S Construction Co. has requested a Conditional Use Permit to

WHEREAS, after notice, issued pursuant to the provisions of the City's
Development Code, public hearings were held on November 22, December 13, 1977,

given an opportunity to be heard and to present evidence.

and configuration to allow for 76 detached single family dwelling units under an RPD
concept and for open space requirements, private outdoor living areas, landscaping, and
other features required by the Development Code or by conditions imposed by this permit.
Section 3: That the proposed RPD is not contrary to the General Plan since
said conformance has been insured by site design and landscaping requirements, which are

significantly adversely affect the peace, health, safety, or general welfare of the area,
nor will it be materially detrimental to property values, jeopardize, endanger or other-
wise constitute a menace to the public health, safety, and welfare of persons in the
surrounding area, since radiation measurements of the adjacent radar facility were
taken and determined not to be hazardous, pursuant to existing government standards.

Environmental Impact Report has been completed in compliance with State and local
guidelines and that the Commission has reviewed and considered the contents of the
report in reaching its decision. The Planning Commission further finds that the

mental impact, -since mitigation measures are required.

herein, subject to the conditions contained in Exhibit "A", which are necessary to protect
