BROTHERS, INC., for approval of the above described project; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and

find the following facts and reasons to justify denial of an amendment to Department of
Community Development Condition No. 7 of Planning Commission Resolution Nos. 2356 and

height -wise with existing homes to the north and to the south, which have heights of
18 feet or less.
2. The pad elevations of several developed lots to the north and to the south are up
to twenty-three (23) inches lower than the pad elevations of adjacent Tots within
Tracts 33935 and 34391, therefore adding to view impacts on adjacent residents
from proposed homes above 18 feet.

1. That the above recitations are true and correct and constitute the findings of the
