FISCAL IMPACT: None Amount Budgeted: N/A Additional Appropriation: N/A Account Number(s): N/A R� ORIGINATED BY: So Kim, Senior Planner .ru REVIEWED BY: Ara Mihranian, AICP, Director of Community Development -e APPROVED BY: Doug Willmore, City ManagerV ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: A. Excerpt from Resolution No. 2015-102 (page A-1) BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: At the May 3, 2016, meeting, a concern was raised by a member of the public that the niches and vaults located inside the Pacific Terrace/Memorial Terrace Mausoleum (Mausoleum) are only 8' from the north property line, when they should be placed further away. In respect to this concern, there are two separate conditions related to the area in question, as identified in the attached excerpt from Resolution No. 2015-102 (Attachment A). One condition describes the setback requirement for the entire area west of the maintenance yard and another condition describes the setback for the Mausoleum building. Specifically, Condition No. 6 requires a setback distance of 16' from the north property line to the ground burial sites (with no above -ground structures) in the area located west of the maintenance yard. At the same time, Condition No. 8.a. requires that the Mausoleum building, which is also located west of the maintenance yard, be set back 8' from the north property line. As a result of this condition, any burial plot, niche, or vault located on or inside the building is also subject to the 8 -foot setback requirement for the Mausoleum. Since the Mausoleum building itself is set back 8' from the north property 1 line, all of its contents are also deemed to be in compliance with the required 8' setback from the north property line. 2 to the City for review and approval by the Building and Safety Division and the City Geologist prior to issuance of a building permit for any mausoleum. GS -2: The applicant shall ensure that all applicable conditions as specified within the geotechnical report and all measures required by the City Geologist are incorporated into the project. HW -1: The applicant shall prepare a Standard Urban Stormwater Mitigation Plan (SUSMP) along with a Maintenance Agreement and Transfer. The SUSMP and related information shall be reviewed and approved by the Director of Community Development, or his/her designee prior to the issuance of grading and building permits for any mausoleum building. N-1: Construction activity of the mausoleum buildings and grading operations shall be limited to the hours of 7:00 am and 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday. There shall be no construction on Saturdays, Sundays or federally observed holidays unless a Special Construction Permit is obtained prior to work on a Federally observed holiday. N-2: During demolition, construction and/or grading operations, trucks shall not park, queue and/or idle at the project site or in the adjoining street rights-of-way before 7:00 am Monday through Friday and before 9:00 am on Saturday, in accordance with the permitted hours of construction stated in this condition. When feasible to do so, the construction contractor shall provide staging areas on-site to minimize off-site transportation of heavy construction equipment. These areas shall be located to maximize the distance between staging activities and neighboring properties, subject to approval by the building official. N-3: As indicated in mitigation measure AQ -144-3 above, the project shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission annually, commencing on the date of final approval, to review the applicant's compliance with all conditions of approval associated with the Master Plan and Master Plan Revision.
