The Assistant Planner said this plan meets al-'1. -the requirements on the standard check list. Actually, on this zoning. the applicant is per- mitted to go to four stories and a "r�,taxi-mnum of 50'; lie has only gone to 291. Parking requirements have been met; 2-TM--66 was approved with two conditions.: (1) vehicular entrance on Riverside Drive only., and (2) grading plan to be approved by the City Engi-neer. Chairman Fitch asked if the City has stairted a trend. in that portion of the City and if this is passed., will it be, reversing this trend? The Assistant Planner .said they are not starting a trend, they are merely continuing what has already been, established. Mr. Taylor,. 22444 Riverside Drive,, asked, what is going to happen on the vacant: lot directly across 'Ghe street fro-ri-i this. The Assist- ant Planner said the matter of density is not before. this body. This Committee is a - recommending body., and is concerned. only -with. archi- tectura , 1 and`'site control. Nothing could be accomplished by discussing density at this time. Mr. Small stated that when this portion of the Deepe Cliffe Ranch was rezoned five or six years ago to R3 It, was. felt. 'by the .Planning Com- mission that nobody would want to develop !.-,Il on Stevens Canyon Road..

The Architectural and Site Approval Committee is only concerned with the compatibility of the proposal with the area. Mr. Irwin asked if it would be necessarly in the future to take 25' ,along the front of this property for right-of-way. The Assistant Planner said that it -would not,, Mr© Small said that., With the existing -zon-f-I'l-g, thlis is the best proposal we can expect to get, It is well within the Ordinance,, and ,.will be a credit to Foothill Blvd, Mr. Irwin agreed; the only thing .that bothers him is that the property was rezoned in the first place. Chairman Fitch asked the applicant if a delay would prove a hardship to him. Mr. Loughlin said it would not., alth�ou.gh. he would like to start shopping around for financing. Mr. Stern.. suggested the applicant Check 'with the County right-of-way people about their .future plans. Dr® Kowitz agreed that this is a nice building, but does not know whether it is compatible with the area.. lie would like to go out and take another look at that area., keeping tli.e facts brought up at this meeting in mind.
