Prepared By: Scott Wolfe, Principal Planner
DATE: October 19, 2004 (CC Meeting of 11/3/04)
SUBJECT: Consider Permit Adjustment No. 2004 -15 for Minor
Changes to Lot Configuration within Tract No. 5187
(William Lyon Homes).
BACKGROUND
On February 6, 2002, the City Council approved Vesting Tentative
Tract Map No. 5187, for the subdivision of 350 acres of land
into 250 residential lots located west of Walnut Canyon Road and
approximately one -half mile north of Casey Road. On August 27,
2004, a grading permit was issued based upon an approved grading
plan for this tract and approval of an early grading agreement.
The applicant is now seeking a Permit Adjustment for minor
changes to the approved Vesting Tentative Tract Map.
DISCUSSION
The proposed changes to this tract consist primarily of minor
adjustments to the lot lines within the area approved for
development. This would allow the project to meet driveway
slope standards and avoid large retaining walls between lots.
The proposed changes would qualify for Permit Adjustment
findings as they do not alter any of the findings for approval
of the project, do not require any change to the environmental
document prepared for the project, and would not have any
adverse effect on surrounding properties. The Community
Development Director is the decision maker on a Permit
Adjustment. However, since this project will return to Council
for consideration of a Final Map, direction is sought on this
Permit Adjustment application to ensure that these changes would

not affect "substantial conformance" findings conditioned by the
Vesting Tentative Tract Map.
While nearly all lots within the tract are affected by this
alteration, the overall effect on the appearance of the tract is
minimal. Streets are not affected, and the horizontal and
vertical alignments of all streets within the tract remain the
same. In most cases, any given lot will move no more than a few
feet from where it was previously approved. In a few cases, the
lot moves about one -half its width. Additionally, in an attempt
to avoid overly large retaining walls between homes, the
applicant proposes to eliminate two lots from streets in the
north -west portion of the �ract, reducing the number of
residences to 248. An accompanying attachment shows the new lot
configuration overlaid on the old configuration.
