Section 4-203(G)
Development of this ADU occurred back in 1996. This analysis, therefore, will only
attempt to set forth anticipated impacts from the use and occupation of this already
existing ADU. We have only been the property owners since 2003 and therefore
cannot render any opinions as to what impacts were prior to our ownership. Our best
assessment of the existing conditions today are as follows:
1. Adjacent Land Use - The existing use of both adjacent and neighboring properties
within a 1,500 foot radius falls under Rural Residential and the proposed ADU is
consistent with these adjacent uses.
. Site Features - There are no features subject to flooding, etc. , and there might be
positive impar on the care of the surrounding grounds.
3. Soil Characteristics, 4. Geology and Hazard, 5. Groundwater and Aquifer Recharge
Areas, - we envision no real impacts in these areas_
6.Erivironmental rmpacts - There could potentially be fewer wildlife around, but we
actually seem to have almost too many at this point.
7. Nuisance - we do not expect to experience any changes in terms of noise, dust, air
quality, etc. from this ADU usage.
8. Hours of Operation - Not really applicable
Use of this ADU will have impacts similiar to normal residential use. It is probable that
whoever occupiers the ADU will be one person, or at most a couple. There obviously
will be additional vehicle traffic and usage of our well water and septic tank leach field,
but both are dearly adequate.
