a. The application applies to a project site located on the north side of Camino
Predera, about 500 feet southeast of the intersection of Camino Predera and Red Hill Country Club
Drive in the Low (L) Residential District, Hillside Overlay District; and
b. The project site is a vacant, rectangular lot facing Camino Predera. The property
ranges from 82 to 92 feet in width and 138 to 139 feet in depth. The lot slopes upward from the
street and has an elevation of approximately 1,332 feet at the south property line and an elevation of
approximately 1,364 feet at the north property line. This results in a grade change of 32 feet from the
north to the south property line; and
c. Street improvements such as a sidewalk, curb, and gutter are present along
Camino Predera; however, street trees and parkway landscaping improvements have not been

requirements of the Low(L) Residential District. The maximum lot coverage permitted is 40 percent.
The proposed lot coverage is approximately 34 percent. The required and proposed(in parenthesis)
setbacks are as follows: front and rear: 37 (53)feet and 20 (41) feet, respectively; interior sides: 5
(6.83) and 10 (10) feet. All setbacks are measured to the wall face of the house; and
e. The proposed residence has eaves that project 1'-6" into both side setback areas
and a chimney that extends 2 feet into the west side setback area. Per the Development Code,
eaves may project into required yards a maximum distance of 3 feet, provided such appendages are
supported only at, or behind, the building setback line. Chimneys may project into required yards a
maximum distance of 2 feet, provided such features shall be at least 3 feet from a property line.The
chimney is set back 8 feet from the property line.
f. The overall building height is 30 feet, which is the maximum permitted within the
Hillside Overlay District; and
g. The proposed residence has a contemporary design theme, which includes a flat
roof, smooth stucco finish, metal railings with glass panels, and copper roofing. The proposed
residence also incorporates stone veneer, decorative wood trims and fascia, and decorative garage
doors. The architectural design of the residence incorporates variations in the roof height to interrupt
the wall plane at the side and rear elevations. The building mass is broken up though multiple wall
plane changes and the incorporation of exterior decks and patio areas along the front and rear
elevations. The residence will be painted earth tone colors in compliance with Section
17.122.020.D.2. The existing dwelling units along Camino Predera consist of a variety of
architectural styles. Through the use of the above-noted design elements, the dwelling unit meets
the City's 360 degree architecture requirements, and the design of the residence is compatible with
the surrounding houses in the neighborhood; and
h. The project also includes an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) at the rear of the lot.
The ADU has a floor area of 674 square feet. Per Development Code Section 17.42.040-1, solid
roof structures located within the rear yard are permitted to be up to 5 feet from the side and rear
property lines. The ADU is setback 5 feet from the rear property line, and 18 and 20 feet from the
east and west property lines, respectively. The structure also has eaves extending 1'-6" along the
side, but these eaves do not extend into the side setback. The overall height of the ADU is 15 feet
and is below the maximum height of 16 feet permitted for solid roof, accessory structures in the rear
yard; and
i. The project complies with the intent of the Hillside Overlay District,which seeks to
facilitate appropriate development of hillside areas. The project site is an upslope lot with an
elevation decline of approximately 32 feet from the north to south property line. Due to the change in
grade, the dwelling unit incorporates a flat-roofed, terraced design concept that follows the natural
contours of the project site. Roof levels at the front of the residence are located at a lower level than
roof levels at the rear of the residence. Additionally, the dwelling unit features split pads and grade
separations to permit the structure to follow the natural slope. Design elements such as front-facing
roof gables were not utilized at the front of the residence, so that the roof would be oriented in the
same direction as the natural slope. The maximum height of the house is 15 feet at setbacks and 30
feet overall as measured from finished grade, thereby complying with the building envelope
requirements.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-
referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2
above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 18-69
DESIGN REVIEW DRC2016-00672 —ANDRESEN ARCHITECTURE

a. The General Plan designation for the project site is Low Residential. The project
proposes a 6,175 square foot single-family dwelling unit with a 674 square foot,detached accessory
dwelling unit on a 12,044 square foot lot. The size and design of the residence is consistent with the
goals of the Low Residential Land Use Designation to provide a single-family dwelling unit within the
allowable density range of up to 4 dwelling units per acre.The proposed single-family dwelling unit is
of similar scale and size to that of the surrounding neighborhood.
b. The proposed project is in accordance with the objectives of the Development
Code and the purpose in which the site is located. The project site is located in the Low Residential
(L) District, which encourages the development of low-density, single-family dwelling units on
individual lots. In order to achieve the intended neighborhood density, the Development Code
specifies a maximum limit of 4 dwelling units per acre(0.25 acres per lot).The proposed project is a
single-family residence with an accessory dwelling unit on a 12,044 square foot (0.27 acres) lot.
Therefore,the proposed project is consistent with the Low Residential (L) District designation. The
project also complies with the intent of the Hillside Overlay District, which seeks to facilitate
appropriate development of hillside areas. The project site is an upslope lot with an elevation decline
of approximately 32 feet from the north to south property line. Due to the change in grade, the
single-family dwelling unit incorporates a terraced design concept which permits the residence to
follow the natural contours of the project site. Roof levels at the front of the dwelling unit are located
at a lower level than roof levels at the rear of the residence. The dwelling unit incorporates the use
of split pads and grade separations to permit the structure to step up with the natural slope. Design
elements such as front-facing roof gables were not permitted at the front of the dwelling unit so that
the roof would be oriented in the same direction as the natural slope. The maximum height of the
dwelling unit is 15 feet at setbacks and 30 feet overall as measured from finished grade. Hillside
Design Section 17.122.020.D.1.0 requires that dwelling units in the Hillside Overlay District be
designed to fit within a 30 foot high building envelope,which the dwelling unit is in compliance with.
c. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code. The project complies with all the requirements of the Low (L) Residential
District. The maximum lot coverage permitted is 40 percent. The proposed lot coverage is
approximately 34 percent. The required and proposed (in parenthesis)setbacks are as follows:front
and rear: 37 (53) feet and 20 (41) feet, respectively; interior sides: 5 (6.83) and 10 (10) feet. All
setbacks are measured to the wall face of the house. The proposed dwelling unit has eaves that
project 1'-6" into both side setback areas, and a chimney that extends 2 feet into the west side
setback area. Per the Development Code, eaves may project into required yards a maximum
distance of 3 feet, provided such appendages are supported only at, or behind,the building setback
line. Chimneys may project into required yards a maximum distance of 2 feet, provided such
features shall be at least 3 feet from a property line. The chimney is set back 8 feet from the property
line. The overall height of the dwelling unit is 30 feet which is the maximum permitted height in the
Hillside Overlay District.
d. The proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity. The proposed single-family dwelling unit is of similar scale and size to
that of the surrounding neighborhood and complies with the Development Code. Construction of the
proposed residence will comply with all related California Building Code standards to reduce
impacts.
4. The project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA)and the City's CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies as a Class 3 exemption under State
CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 - New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures, which
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 18-69

permits the construction of a single-family residence in a residential zone. The proposed Hillside
Design Review is for a 6,175 square foot residential home and 674 square foot accessory dwelling
unit on a 12,044 square foot lot, located in the Low(L) Residential District.According to Figure RC-4
in the General Plan, the project site is not located within a known, sensitive biological habitat area,
and there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the
environment.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition in the
attached Standard Conditions incorporated herein by this reference.
6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
