Design Parameters: The project site is located on the west side of East Avenue and south of Victoria Street on a 1-acre parcel. The parcel is generally rectangular in shape with overall dimensions of about 320 feet from east-to-west and about 135 feet from north-to-south. The existing topography slopes gently from north-to-south. The lots to the north, south, and east are zoned Low Residential and developed with single-family residences. The lot to the west is zoned Low Residential and has been approved for a 6-lot subdivision (Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16578) and will be developed by the same applicant as the subject site. A new cul-de-sac will be built to access both projects, with all lots taking access off of this new street. The applicant proposes subdividing the site into three lots. There is an existing house on the site that is proposed to be removed. The lots meet all City development requirements except for lot average. The required lot average in the Low Residential District is 15,000 square feet. .The proposed lot average is about 14,400 square feet. The applicant has submitted a Variance request with the justification being that without a Variance the lots would be much larger than the 6-lot subdivision to the west with which it shares the cul-de-sac. The approved lots to the west range in size from 13,513 square feet to 16,419 square feet. Staff is contemplating including a condition of approval which states that the future home on Lot 1, which faces East Avenue, be developed with a single-story home in order for the project to be more compatible with the existing single-story homes adjacent to the project. 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. 1. The applicant is requesting a Variance to reduce the required average lot size of 15,000 square feet. Secondary Issues: 1. The lots are not evenly sized (15,451, 15,412, and 12,354 square feet). Staff feels that this may make the development of the smaller lot more difficult. The smaller lot, though, does meet all the minimum Development Code requirements. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee recommend approval of the proposed parcel map with the proposed changes to the lot size to the Planning Commission. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Munoz, Stewart, Nicholson Staff Planner: Tabe van der Zwagg I DRC ACTION AGENDA August 14, 2007 Page 2 The Committee recommended approval of the project with the provision that the applicant make Lots 2 and 3 more equal in size.
