The zoning administrator approved a minor hillside development permit for the Danoff residence at 3911 Flintridge Drive after a staff presentation concluding the project meets applicable development standards and CEQA exemptions.

Planning staff described the proposal as a one‑story, four‑bedroom single‑family home on approximately one acre in the Fountain Grove area. Staff said the project meets setbacks, lot coverage and height requirements, is sited on the portion of the site with slopes under 10 percent, minimizes grading, and will retain existing oak trees to help screen the structure. Planning staff also concluded the project is categorically exempt under CEQA section 15303 (construction of a single‑family residence) and statutorily consistent with guideline section 15183.

Brian Pruitt of Farrell, Faber & Associates (applicant representative) said he was present to answer questions and that the staff presentation covered the project. The zoning administrator said he had no further questions, agreed with staff analysis and approved the permit, noting that the action is final unless an appeal is filed within 10 calendar days (appeal deadline given as Monday, Dec. 15, 2025).

Next steps: The decision may be appealed to the appropriate review body within 10 calendar days of the administrator's decision.
