the City of Gilroy Planning Division’s determination to withhold Final Clearance, for a new
3,410-square foot one-story dwelling with an attached 887- square foot garage on a hillside
lot, as approved on Architectural and Site Review approval AS 16-26. Condition #2 of AS 16-
26 specifies that the project shall conform to the plans as approved. The applicant has
deviated from the approved plans by not including significant architectural features. These
features include stone veneer detailing and window trim, and were originally submitted in
both the AS application and the Building Permits. The property is located at 2261 Mantelli Dr.
in the Residential Hillside (RH) zone (APN 783-72-067). This appeal is exempt from
environmental review under Section 15061.b.3 of the State CEQA Guidelines which applies
