WHEREAS, said Site Development Permit has been determined to be
exempt from California Environmental Quality Act requirements under Section 15303,
Class 3 (A) of the Guidelines For Implementation; and,
WHEREAS, at said Public Hearing, upon hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments, if any, of all interested persons wanting to be heard, said
Planning Commission did find the following facts and reasons to justify approval of
said Site Development Permit:
1. No new two story units are proposed as a part of this approval. Therefore, there
will be no height impacts on existing residences.
2. The applicant proposes to use block walls which will match or be similar to the
existing walls in the PGA West to provide compatibility.
3. The proposed residences are similar to the Masters Collection units approved in
PGA West and other existing residences. The designs are compatible with the
existing units in terms of architectural materials, style, and colors. No two story
units are proposed, but they are not required for compatibility.

tree in the front yard. This will be required as a part of the landscaping approval.
