HIGHWAY REALIGNMENT RPPL2016004512
FINDINGS Page 3

19. The Hearing Officer finds that the requested adjustments to the configuration of lots
is acceptable in that it is a reduction in overall lots by 40 fewer single-family
residence lots and 375 fewer total lots.

20. The Hearing Officer finds that the requested substitution of 384 single-family
residence lots with four multi-family residence lots developed with 344 detached,
single-family residence condominium units is in keeping with providing residential
uses at a maximum density of 2 dwelling units per 1 acre in the H2 category and in
this density-controlled development that promotes clustering; retains topographical
features and resources in order to preserve open space for protection of these
natural features; provides recreational amenities; and all proposed residential lots
meet the minimum lot size requirements.

21. The Hearing Officer finds that the requested relocation of the public school, the
public park and private recreation and park lots are acceptable as the changes
exceed the requirements for adequate park space and facilities to serve residents
as required by State law and provides for public health and quality of life. The
Hearing Officer further finds that these lots will provide recreational and aesthetic
benefits as well as increased environmental quality through maintenance of open
space, permeable land area for surface water infiltration and percolation, trees and
vegetation for habitat, and the economic benefits of increased property values.

22. The Hearing Officer finds that the requested alterations to private drives and fire
lanes, street locations and realignment of Skyline Ranch Road is consistent with the
reconfiguration of lots and ensures that the proposed design conveys vehicles and
pedestrians through the area at acceptable service levels at build-out of the
development. The realignment eliminates a significant amount of grading, aids in
clustering which preserves more open space, and does not create new
environmental impacts.

23. The Hearing Officer finds that the elimination of a proposed pedestrian bridge is
acceptable since the amended design of the vesting tentative tract map ensures
and is consistent with construction of adequate infrastructure to access the site.

24. The Hearing Officer finds that a modification to the conditional use permit is required
to address the map amendments approved relating to immaterial changes such as
differences in lot numbers, clarification of grading quantities and other reduced
impacts associated with the project.

25. Approval of this amendment map does not change the December 7, 2017 expiration
date of Vesting Tentative Tract Map 060922.
