WHAT IS A CUT? Purpose of the Ordinance is three-fold Ensure development “fits” the land Minimize scarring Conserve protected hillsides Envisioned there are times where exceptions would be needed. 51 Location First Avenue Palisades Road Naranja Drive Palisades Splits 52 Grading Exception As you all know, the intersection is quite a bit lower than the surrounding topography as shown on-screen (approx. 19ft.). As such, the request would enable cuts between 12 & 15 feet & result in a safer, more desirable road connection to the existing intersection. 53 Summary and Recommendation Grading Exception Zoning Code review criteria Minimum necessary to provide access to site Impacts areas will be revegetated and recontoured to match existing topography Conceptual Design Review Board recommends approval, with conditions. Grading exception is consistent with the review criteria and will allow for a safer, more desirable road design CDRB recommends approval, with conditions in Attachment 1. 54 55 Grading Exception The applicant’s request is to exceed the code limitations in the areas shown on screen to permit the safer road connection. ZC establishes limits on the depths of cut/fills to minimize unnecessary impacts on a property’s natural topography. - Review criteria utilized to evaluate these types of applications With the conditions listed in Attachment 1 regarding revegetation and recontouring, the applicant’s proposal will be in conformance with the Review Criteria. 56 57 58
