That the City Council adopts the attached Resolution (Attachment II) approving the Site Plan Review with Grading Permit application and adopting the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for the proposed single-family residence on a vacant hillside parcel at 2366 Rainbow Court.

SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting approval for a Site Plan Review (SPR) with Grading Permit application to allow the construction of a three-story, 2,700 square-foot single-family residence with related on- and off-site improvements on a 0.32-acre (14,195 square-feet) vacant hillside parcel located at 2366 Rainbow Court (Assessor Parcel No. 425-0410-027- 00).
Normally, Site Plan Review applications for single-family residences within the hillside areas are subject to administrative staff level review. However, the City Engineer determined the average slope of the property exceeds 20% which requires City Council review for the Grading Permit per Section 10-8.023 of the Hayward Municipal Code (HMC).
An Initial Study was prepared and concluded that with the adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration, the project could be built with mitigation measures that would reduce potential impacts to a level of less than significant.
