The project qualifies as a Class 3 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 – New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures. Site Characteristics: The 12,044-square-foot vacant project site is located on the north side of Camino Predera. The property’s dimensions are approximately 82 feet in width along the north property line, 92 feet along the south property line, and 138 feet along the east and west property lines. The downslope lot has an elevation of 1,345 feet as measured at the north property line and 1,317 feet at the curb face on Camino Predera, for a total grade change of 28 feet. The street improvements have been installed along Camino Predera, except for street trees and parkway landscaping. The existing Land Use, General Plan and Zoning Designations for the project site and adjacent properties are as follows: Land Use General Plan Zoning Site Vacant Land Traditional Neighborhood Low (L) North Single-Family Residences Traditional Neighborhood Low (L) South Vacant land Traditional Neighborhood Low (L) East Single-Family Residence Traditional Neighborhood Low (L) West Single-Family Residence Traditional Neighborhood Low (L) Project Overview: The applicant proposes constructing a 3,999 square foot single-family residence with two attached garages totaling 901 square feet. Architecture: The proposed residence has a modern architectural design theme, which includes a flat roof, stucco finish, metal facia, glass railings, and a glass and metal garage door. The residence was designed in compliance with the Hillside Design Guidelines (Section 17.122.020.D.2), including stepping the building pads to follow the existing slope/terrain of the subject property and the use of a flat roof to limit the overall height and profile. The building mass is broken up through the use of multiple wall plane changes and the incorporation of a deck on the front elevation. The residence will be painted earth tone colors, as recommended in the Hillside Design Guidelines, and will be in keeping with the existing residences along Camino Predera, which include a variety of architectural styles and themes. The front entrance of the house is on the second level and is accessed by an exterior stairway. The driveway has a maximum slope of 10 percent which leads to a two-car head-in garage and a one-car side entrance garage. Hillside Development Standard 17.122.020.C.1.d. states that driveways with grades up to 20 percent are permitted when they are aligned with the natural contours of the lot and are necessary to achieve site design goals DRC COMMENTS HILLSIDE DESIGN REVIEW DRC2021-00297 – PETE VOLBEDA October 18, 2022 Page 2 The proposed single-family residence meets or exceeds all applicable technical development standards for the Low (L) residential zoning area and the Hillside Overlay District, as shown in the table below: Proposed Project Development Code Compliant? Building Height 22 Feet 30 Feet YES Front Setback 38 Feet 37 feet (+/- 5 feet) YES Side Setbacks 5/10 Feet 5/10 Feet YES Rear Setback 76 feet 20 Feet YES Excavation 8.3 Feet 5 Feet* YES Retaining Wall 4 Feet 4 Feet YES Street Facing Garage 1 Two Car N/A YES Lot Coverage 35.3 Percent 40 Percent YES House Square Feet 3,999 Square Feet Lot Coverage YES Garage Square Feet 901 Square Feet Lot Coverage YES Deck SF 500 Square Feet Lot Coverage YES *Cut or fill over 5 feet requires Planning Commission Approval Grading and Site Planning: The proposed grading requires a cut of 2,046 cubic yards and 5 cubic yards of fill. The large amount of cut is required to lower the overall profile of the house as seen from the street and from the properties to the north. The foundation of the residence is stepped with the grade, with the upper pad at an elevation of 1,331 feet and the lower pad at an elevation of 1,318, in conformance with Hillside Design Section 17.122.020.D.1.a to terrace the building to follow the slope. Retaining walls are below the 4-foot height limit for hillside lots and are necessary to construct the driveway, the foundation of the house, and along the side property lines. Hillside Development Section 17.122.020.G.1.J.ii permits up to 4-foot-high retaining walls upslope from the residence. The proposed landscaping is designed to comply with Hillside Development Section 17.122.020.F, including the use of drought-tolerant landscaping to protect slopes from erosion and the planting of shrubs to soften the views of the downslope elevations. The proposed landscaping also complies with the front yard landscape requirements, including reducing hardscape to less than 50 percent of the front yard area. Hillside Overlay District Compliance: The project complies with the intent of the Hillside Overlay District, which seeks to facilitate the appropriate development of hillside areas. The project site is an upslope lot with an elevation change of approximately 28 feet from the north to south property lines. To lower the overall height and profile of the residence, up to 8.3 feet of cut is DRC COMMENTS HILLSIDE DESIGN REVIEW DRC2021-00297 – PETE VOLBEDA October 18, 2022 Page 3 required. Cut or fill over 5 feet requires Planning Commission review and approval. The proposed design does not require any Variances or Minor Exceptions to allow for deviations from technical requirements of the Development Code, and the overall size of the residence is in keeping with the more recent residences constructed along Camino Predera. Hillside Design Section 17.122.020.D.1.e requires that residences in the Hillside Overlay District be designed to fit within a 30-foot-high building envelope. The applicant has provided two north- south and two east-west cross-sections with building envelopes demonstrating compliance with the 30-foot height requirement. The Development Code does not include a view preservation ordinance. However, the applicant has designed the residence to be sensitive to the potential for view obstructions as seen from Camino Predera and the existing properties to the north. The residence has a maximum height of 22 feet above the adjacent finished grade.
