The intent of these regulations is to minimize grading and ensure that the form, mass, profile, and architectural features of the house are designed to blend with the natural terrain, preserve the character and profile of the slope, and groe consideration to the lot size and configuration. The protect includes excavation equal to, or exceeding 5 feet in vertical depth, therefore, the application regwres the review and approval by the Planning Commission ANALYSIS: A. General• The protect site is located on the north side of Camino Predera on a parcel of about 12,000 square feet The parcel to the north is developed with asingle-family residence; the property to the south is vacant, the properties to the east and west are vacant, but were recently approved for development (Hillside Design Review DRC2004-00375 and DRC2004-00630, respectively). The topography slopes in a generally northwest to southeast direction The existing topography has two distinct slope profiles At the front of the property, the slope is generally 40 percent (between 2.1 and 3 1) At the front property Ime, the existing elevation is about 1,304 feet and rises to about 1,317 feet at a point about 25 feet north, or behind, the front property Ime From there, the slope is about 15 percent to the rear property line, which is at a general elevation of about 1,335 feet The applicant is proposing to construct atwo-story single-family residence with an attached 2-car garage The first floor of the house, not including the garage, will have two stepped pads with finished floor elevations of 1,329 5 feet and 1,326 5 feet The garage will have a finished surface elevation of 1,322.5 feet The stepping will be consistent with the existing contours and direction of slope The depth of excavation, or cut, that will be required to construct the driveway and a small Item A PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2005-00003 - AGUIRRE/BRUNO June 8, 2005 Page 2 portion of the yard area at the northwest comer of the house will exceed 5 feet (Exhibit E). The house will screen the depth of cut at the northwest portion of the property However, excavation for the driveway will be visible from Camino Predera The applicant proposes a serves of terraced 3-foot high retaining walls, separated by 3 feet, along the south side of the property adjacent to the driveway. These walls, in contunction with appropriate landscaping, will reduce the apparent depth of cut (note that although the Grading Plan indicates an overall height of each wall at 4 feet, the exposed height will be 3 feet) Excavation throughout the rest of the property, including the building pads, will be less than 5 feet The house will have setbacks from the side property lines on the east and west of 16 5 feet and 7 feet, respectively. Furthermore, the house will have front and rear yard setbacks of 58 feet (to the garage) and 30 feet, respectively. The setbacks of the proposed structure exceed the minimum standards established for this development district and, as a result, the visual bulk of the house will be minimized. The overall height of the structure will not exceed 30 feet measured from the finished grade Lot coverage will be about 23.5 percent; the maximum permissible in the Low Residential District is 40 percent. B. Neighborhood Meeting On August 24, 2005, a meeting was conducted to gather input and comments from the owners of the surrounding properties on Camino Predera and immediately to the north on Red Hill Country Club Drive (Exhibit H) The primary concern stated by those present was the potential loss of views caused by new construction on currently vacant land along Camino Predera, speafically on the south side of the street As the applicant's property is on the north side of the street, and is significantly lower than the house to the north, his design and grading will allow the house to have a lower profile Any loss of views will be minimal C. Grading and Design Review: Both the Grading and Design Review Committees recommended approval of the project at their meetings on May 17, 2005 (Exhibit I). The applicant, at the request of the Design Review Committee, has included additional trim beneath several windows and, where practical, continued the dark colored, stucco finished band along the base of the house to all elevations of the home (Exhibit F) D Environmental Review The project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15303(a) of the State CEQA Guidelines.

Backoround: The proposed single-family residence is located in the Low Residential District and is inducted m the Hillside Overlay District. The intent of the Hillside Development regulations is to minimize grading and ensure that the form, mass, profile, and architectural features of the house are designed to blend with the natural terrain, preserve the chareder and profile of the slope, and give consideration to the lots size and configuration. Typically, Hillside Design Review applications are reviewed and approved by the City Planner. However, this project requires the review and approval by the Planning Commission because more than 5 feet of excavation is proposed. Desion Parameters. The parcels to the north are developed with single-family residences. The property to the east and west are vacant but are pending development (related file: Hillside Design Review DRC2004-00375 and DRC2004-00630, respectively). The properties to the south are vacant. The topography slopes in a generally northwest to southeast direction. The existing topography has two distinct slope profiles. At the front of the property, the slope is generally 40 percent (between 2:1 and 3:1). At the front property line, the existing elevation is about 1,304 feet and rises to about 1,317 feet at a point about 25 feet north, or behind, the front property line. From there the slope is about 15 percent to the rear property line, which is at a general elevation of about 1,335 feet. The applicant is proposing to construct a two-story single-family residence with an attached 2-car garage. The first floor of the house, not induding the garage, will have two stepped pads with finished floor elevations of 1,329.5 feet and 1,326.5 feet. The garage will have a finished surface elevation of 1,322.5 feet. The "stepping" will be consistent with the existing contours and direction of slope. The depth of excavation, or "cut," that will be required to construct the driveway and a small portion of the yard area at the northwest comer of the house will exceed 5 feet (Exhibit "A"and "B"). The house Hnll screen the depth of cut at the northwest portion of the property. However, excavation for the dnveway will be visible from Camino Predera. The applicant proposes a series of terraced 3-foot high retaining walls, separated by 3 feet, along the south side of the property adjacent to the driveway. These walls, in conjunction with appropriate landscaping, will reduce the apparent depth of cut (note that although the Grading Plan indicates an overall height of each wall at 4 feet, the exposed height will be 3 feet). Excavation throughout the rest of the property, induding the budding pads, will be less than 5 feet. The house will have setbacks from the side properly lines on the east and west of 16.5 feet and 7 feet, respectively. Furthermore, the house will have front and rear yard setbacks of 58 feet (to the garage) and 30 feet, respectively. The setbacks of the proposed structure exceed the minimum standards established for this development district and, as a result, the visual bulk of the house will be minimized. The overall height of the structure will not exceed 30 feet measured from the finished grade. Lot coverage will be about 23.5 percent; the maximum permissible m the Low Residential District is 40 percent. A neighbofiood meeting was held on August 24, 2004. Staff believes all of the concerns have been addressed by the proposed design. EXHIBIT `i' ~~ DRC ACTION AGENDA DRC2005-00003 - AGUIRRE/BRUNO May 17, 2005 Page 2 Staff Comments The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Major Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project In the Hillside Overlay, excavation ("cuY') or fill greater than 5 feet regwres Planning Commission approval. Amounts in excess are discouraged and when viable alternatives exist, staff will suggest to the applicant that they senously consider those alternatives first Similarly, sensitivity to the surrounding neighbors' concerns, such as preservation of their views, and architectural design compatibility with existing structures in the neighborhood are recommended. There are two small areas where cut exceeds 5 feet (see Exhibits "A" and "B") Staff believes that the following design features adequately address this concern a. Stepped floors; setbacks in excess of the minimums required by the Development Code, and c relatively compact size. These solutions are the result of discussions with the applicant and a neighborhood meeting conducted on August 24, 2004 Staff believes that the applicant has made a good faith effort to satisfy the intent of this ordinance The protect complies with the technical requirements of the Hillside Development Regulations. 2 A Minor Exception is regwred for any wall between 6 feet and 8 feet in height (RCMC Section 1704.050 6.1.a.). The 3-foot to 4-foot high retaining wall along the west property line, when combined with a 6-foot high garden wall, will require the submittal of a Minor Exception application for review and approval by the City Planner pnor to construction. As alternative, terraced walls separated by a minimum of 3 feet should be considered Secondary Issues Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: The minimum separation between the driveway pavement and the property Ime is 5 feet. Because the ratio of the dnveway at the southwest comer of the site precludes this separation, the separation that the applicant has proposed is 3 feet. Policy Issues The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design vnthout discussion: All of the walls exposed to public view, including retaining walls, shall be decorative (i e. stucco, split-face, or slumpstone with a tnm cap) Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee approve the proposal as submitted Attachments A--~n DRC ACTION AGENDA DRC2005-00003 - AGUIRRE/BRUNO .
