in the neighborhood, including a prominent Spanish Eclectic home located one
property over and up from the subject property.

are reflective of other homes in the area and the Spanish Eclectic architectural
style in general. Therefore, the proposed home is not detrimental to the orderly
and harmonious development of the city.

neighborhood.
The proposed home will not impair the desirability of investment or occupation in
the neighborhood, but rather serve as an example of the goals and objectives of

architectural style as defined in the Guidelines.
