That the Planning Commission recommend to City Council approval of the Site Plan Review with Grading Permit for the proposed single-family residence and attached accessory dwelling unit on the vacant hillside parcel located at 2579 Home Avenue, based on the required Findings (Attachment II) and subject to the Conditions of Approval (Attachment III).

SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting approval for a Site Plan Review (SPR) with Grading Permit application to allow the construction of a multi-level, 3,522 square-foot single-family residence with an attached 1,198 square-foot Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) with related on- and off-site improvements on a 0.21-acre (9,301 square-foot) vacant hillside parcel located at 2579 Home Avenue, Assessor Parcel No. 081D-1660-040-00.
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). Since the HMC does not allow staff to refer a SPR application directly to City Council without Planning Commission review, staff determined that the project requires Planning Commission review and City Council consideration.
