and conditions imposed in the previously approved conditional use permit; and
e. Approval of the application is necessary to allow the reasonable operation and
use granted in the conditional use permit.

9. The Hearing Officer finds that the requested use at the location will not adversely affect
the health, peace, comfort or welfare of persons residing or working in the surrounding
area, be materially detrimental to the use, enjoyment or valuation of property of other
persons located in the vicinity of the site, or jeopardize, endanger or otherwise
constitute a menace to the public health, safety of general welfare because the
proposed residential use follows the existing pattern of development of the area.

10. The Hearing Officer finds that the project site is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the proposed project since the site is 2,173.25 gross acres.

11. The Hearing Officer finds that the site is adequately served because the proposed
Skyline Ranch Road, under construction, is being developed, at minimum, at 100 feet
in width and is intended for pedestrian, bicycle and vehicle travel and planned to be
offered and accepted by the County.

12. The Hearing Officer finds that accomplishment of project goals and objectives does not
materially deviate from the terms and conditions imposed in the previously approved
conditional use permit and allows the realization of subsequently adopted ordinances
like the Healthy Design Ordinance and Low Impact Development by featuring private
drives and fire lanes with landscaped buffers planted with trees.

13. The Hearing Officer finds that the proposed minor condition modifications are
necessary to allow community enhancements through intentional neighborhood
crafting, incorporating housing types for several different lot sizes with home designs
with a variety of architectural floor plan types and design diversity. Implementation of
the proposed condition modifications will not be injurious or negatively impactful to
surrounding residents or neighboring properties, but will allow the applicant the
reasonable operation and use of its property, as regulated by the CUP.

14. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 22.56.1620 of the County Code, the community
was appropriately notified of the public meeting by mail, newspaper and property
posting.

15. The Hearing Officer finds that an addendum to the final certified Environmental Impact
Report (“EIR”) is the appropriate environmental document for this project pursuant to
the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the Los Angeles County
Environmental Guidelines.
