Project Background: The applicant originally submitted the project on December 18, 2007. The project planner reviewed the submittal and sent an Incompleteness Letter to the applicant on February 6, 2008. The applicant resubmitted updated plans on May 29, 2008. The project was deemed complete and a letter was sent on July 17, 2008, to the applicant requesting that 20 sets of plans be submitted for review by the DRC, TRC, and GRC Committees. Plans were not submitted, and over the next two plus years the applicant requested a number of time extensions. The 20 sets of plans were finally submitted in June of 2010, and the project was scheduled for DRC, TRC, and GRC Committees. Project Review Guidelines: The proposed single-family residence is located in the Very Low (VL) Residential District within 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 character and profile of the slope, and give consideration to the size and configuration of the lot. Recommendations by the Committee will be forwarded to the Planning Director for review and action. Site Characteristics: The project site is located on the north side of Reales Street on a 20,075 square • . foot lot. The lot drains roughly from north to south, with an approximate grade change of 28 feet from the „f north to the south property lines. The lot is bordered by existing single-family residences to the north, . south (across Reales Street), east, and west. Proiect Design Overview: The applicant proposes constructing a 6,568 square foot two-story residence with an attached 787 square foot garage. The house is architecturally compatible with the neighborhood and conforms to the design guidelines outlined in the Development Code, including carrying materials and architectural features to all elevations and stepping the house to reduce the grading. The project meets the height, setback, and cut-and-fill limitations of the Hillside Overlay District. The lot coverage will be 24.6 percent, which is just below the maximum 25 percent permitted in the Very Low (VL) Residential District. Major Issues: None. Minor Issues: 1. The use of window shutters is inconsistent. Many of the shutters are too small to cover the windows to which they are adjacent. Staff recommends removing the shutters from the larger windows and adding the shutters to all of the smaller windows. 2. The gable roof line cuts through the hip roof plane above the entrance balcony, which is not in keeping with the architectural style of the house. Staff recommends that the architect provide an explanation for this design. 3. The 2-foot wide stucco belt below the roof eaves of the garage and the wrought iron decorative elements above the garage doors are out of character with the architecture of the house and should be removed or modified as appropriate. DRC AGENDA DRC2007-01016 - JING GONG July 20, 2010 Page 2 4. The elevations show a Spanish style tile roof, while the plans call-out shake style tile (shake style tile is more appropriate for the architectural style of the house). The plans should be drawn correctly for architectural clarity and consistency. 5. The final approval letter will include a condition that requires the equestrian trail to be fully improved, including adding a decomposed granite base and a drainage facility outside of the trail easement and grading the trail to have a cross-slope of no greater than 4 percent. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee review the issues outlined above and provide input and direction as necessary. With above minor issues satisfied or conditioned by the Committee, staff recommends approval.
