FILE #LA18-000040 21 May 2018 Page 3 of 4 monitored closely by the City's engineer to assure that all existing drainage patterns are maintained and adjacent properties are not adversely impacted. 9) Not expected to substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the property in the area or have a materially adverse impact on the property values in the area when compared to the impairment or impact of generally permitted uses; This standard requires that the proposed grading and improvements must not substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the properties in the area or have an adverse impact on the property values in the area when compared to the impairment or impact of generally permitted uses. The result of the proposed grading will not change the intended residential use of the Property so there should be no change in the use and enjoyment of adjacent properties resulting from the export of fill materials. However, importing the fill and active grading of the Property may have a temporary adverse impact on neighbors. The grading work on the Property as well as the construction of the proposed home could result in additional noise, dust, vibration and traffic on the haul routes and immediate neighbors. To the degree possible, negative impacts should be limited and mitigated. 10) Provided with screening and buffering adequate to mitigate undesirable views and activities likely to disturb surrounding uses; the finished grade will be vegetated and landscaped; it should blend into the Property and the neighboring properties. The project, once completed, should not result in undesirable views requiring mitigation. 11) Not create a nuisance which generates smoke, noise, glare, vibration, odors, fumes, dust, electrical interference, general unsightliness, or other means; see #9 above. 12) Not cause excessive non-residential traffic on residential streets, parking needs that cause a demonstrable inconvenience to adjoining properties, traffic congestion, or unsafe access; the applicants shall be required to keep debris off of the public roadways. The noise resulting from the trucks hauling and equipment moving the material in and around the site should be minimized to the extent possible. The grading and construction project will be monitored by the City Engineer and planning staff so as to minimize nuisances during the project. 13) Designed to take into account the natural, scenic, and historic features of the area and to minimize environmental impact; This standard requires that the project be designed to take into account the natural, scenic, and historic features of the area and to minimize environmental impact. The long term effect of the project should result in minimal environmental impacts. The project will be monitored by the City, and MCWD to prevent erosion from the site. 14) All exterior lighting shall be so directed so as not to cast glare toward or onto the public right-of-way or neighboring residential uses or districts; There should be no lighting or glare resulting from the grading project; and 15) Not detrimental to the public health, public safety, or general welfare. The applicants will be required to keep debris off of the public roadways. The noise resulting from the trucks hauling and equipment moving the material in and around the site should be minimized to the extent possible. The grading project will be monitored by the City Engineer and planning staff so as to minimize nuisances during the project. A CUP may be granted subject to such conditions as the Council may prescribe. Additionally, a CUP shall remain in effect as long as the conditions imposed by the City Council are
