FROM: Steve Padovan, Consultant Planner
APPROVED: Suzanne Avila, AICP, Planning Director
RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission:
1. Deny the Conditional Development Permit and Variances subject to the findings in
Attachments 1 and 2 and Deny the Site Development Permit subject to the prior denial of
the Conditional Development Permit and Variances for this project; or
2. Continue the project to a specific hearing date in order to allow the applicant an opportunity
to redesign the residence, with direction to the applicant and staff on desired plan changes.
BACKGROUND
In 1932, Tract No. 10 of the Jo Mora Ranch was recorded. This map created approximately 40
lots that range in size from about one half acre to one and one half acres. In the 1940s,the property_
owners of the original Lots 1 and 3 split off portions of their properties by deed to create the three
current parcels identified by Assessor Parcel Numbers 331-15-060, 061 and 062. The properties
were annexed into the Town of Los Altos Hills in 2012.
The current property owner,Forrest Linebarger, acquired the property in 2006. He applied for and
received Santa Clara County Planning approval for Certificates of Compliance in June 2006 on a
portion of Lot 1 (now identified as APN 331-15-061) and on a portion of Lot 3 (currently APN
331-15-062). The County outlined its justification for approving the Certificates in an e-mail to
Mr. Enrique Klein (see Attachment 3). To summarize, the lots were deemed legal separate lots
based on deed conveyances done in 1941 and 1948, the lots were not merged by any action of the
County, and the lots were not deemed merged by virtue of the fact that the contiguous parcels were
held by the same owner. Although conditional, one-year Certificates were approved on Lots 1 and
3, Mr. Linebarger only recorded a final, permanent Certificate of Compliance on Lot 2 (identified

as APN 331-15-060) (see Attachment 4). It should also be noted that the Town does not currently
have an adopted parcel merger ordinance that complies with the State Subdivision Map Act, nor
do the parcels in question meet the parcel merger requirements in Section 66451.11 of the Map
Act.
Recently, Lot 2 (which retained the 10730 Mora Drive address)was sold to Richard Minton. This
action reduced the potential to adjust the lot lines between the three parcels or to merge the lots to
create more conforming parcels as the two vacant parcels (Lot 1 and 3) are now separated by a lot
under different ownership.
Planning Commission Study Session
On February 4, 2016, the Planning Commission held a publicly-noticed study session to discuss
the development potential on the two remaining Mora Drive properties owned by Mr. Linebarger
and to obtain the Commission's comments and concerns regarding the proposed variances. In
addition, staff requested clarification on the calculation of basement area and provided several
previously approved basement designs along with an explanation on how the various perimeter
lengths were determined. Mr. Linebarger presented his projects and public comments were
received.
The Commission agreed with staffs interpretation on the calculation of basement area and what
constitutes the basement perimeter. With regard to the proposed development on the substandard
lots,the Commissioners stated that the project needs to be reviewed using the Town's regulations,
not the County zoning regulations, that the proposed development seems excessive, and that all
variance requests need to be reviewed on a case by case basis. Chair Couperus added that the
Town's setback requirements provide a visual separation between lots and that more of the
development should be below ground where the visual impact is lessened(minutes are included as
Attachment 5).
Subject Property
The subject property, identified as APN 331-15-062 and recently given the address of 10758 Mora
Drive, is a .398 acre interior lot located on the east side of Mora Drive approximately 280 feet
from the end of the road. The property in bounded on all side by single family residences. The
parcel is substandard and a Conditional Development Permit (CDP) is required for any
development on the parcel because the Lot Unit Factor (LUF) is less than 0.50. The lot is 62.5
feet wide at the street and widens slightly to 62.81 feet at the rear property line. Based on the
Town's 30 foot side yard setback requirements,the building envelope averages approximately 2.5
feet wide for the length of the lot, excluding the front and rear setbacks.
The property slopes downward from west to east, getting steeper as it approaches the rear property
line and it has an average slope of approximately 26%. A small amount of grading occurred in the
past and there are two rough graded pads that step down the property. There is dense shrubbery
and several pines along the sides of the property and a dense oak forest on the lower portion of the
site as it drops down to a drainage which completely screens views of the homes to the east. A

fault hazard zone was identified in the geotechnical report on the lower slopes, outside of the
proposed development area.
PROPOSED PROJECT
The applicant is requesting Conditional Development and Site Development Permits to construct
a 2,520 square foot, two-story dwelling with 2,583 square feet of basement area on two lower
levels. The proposed dwelling height and total floor area are proposed to be below the Town's
maximum 27-foot height limit and below the maximum floor area (MFA) calculated for the lot.
The applicant has requested a development area bonus, as allowed by Municipal Code Section 10-
1.-502(b)(7)for the installation of rooftop photovoltaic panels(solar panels), which would increase
the available maximum development area(MDA) by up to 500 square feet.
The applicant is requesting the following variances from the Town's required 30-foot side yard
setback regulations and to allow grading less than ten (10) feet from the property line:
1. Allow for a ten (10) foot building side yard setback along the north property line;
2. Allow for a 15 foot building side yard setback along the south property line;
3. Allow one required open parking space to be placed within two (2) feet of the south
property line;
4. Allow the vehicle back-up area for the proposed garage to encroach within two (2) feet of
the south property line;
5. Allow for basement light wells within 15 feet of the south property;
6. Allow for patios and decks within the 30-foot side yard setbacks;
7. Allow for grading within ten (10) feet of the side property lines for retaining walls,
driveway and parking.
The following table is a summary of the requested floor area and development area and the
maximums allowed by the Zoning Ordinance.

DISCUSSION
Developable vs. Undevelopable Lot
At the February 4, 2016 study session, the Planning Commission requested additional information
from staff regarding whether or not a parcel could be deemed unbuildable due to setback
requirements imposed by the Town. In general, if a parcel was legally established, has access to
a public street, contains a feasible building site, has access to utilities and has no significant
environmental issues (wetlands, endangered species, etc.) or public hazards (contaminated soils,
faults, landslides, etc.), then the property would be considered a buildable lot. The need for a
variance would not be the deciding factor on whether a lot is buildable or not.
General Plan Consistency
Any new development in the Town is required to comply with the Town's General Plan. The
Town's General Plan includes goals and policies related to land use development and the
preservation of the Town's semi-rural character and natural resources.
Goal 1, Policy 1.1 of the General Plan Land Use Element states the following:
"Uses of land shall be consistent with the semi-rural atmosphere of the community, minimize
disturbance to natural terrain, minimize removal of natural vegetation, and create the
Planning Commission
Lands of Linebarger— 10758 Mora Drive
June 2,2016
Page 5
maximum compatibility of development with the natural environment through site design and
landscaping".
Within this section are development standards that include building setback standards which were
developed to provide a minimum amount of open space between buildings on adjacent parcels and
between buildings and the street right-of-way.
Goal 2 of the Land Use Element ensures that all development occur in a manner that minimizes
disturbance of natural terrain, vegetation, and wildlife, and maximizes the preservation of natural
resources and open space. Under this goal, Policy 2.6 states:
"Limits on the development of individual residential lots shall be determined based on the
evaluation of such factors as natural vegetation, topographic characteristics, soils and
geology. "
These policies tie in to the"step-down" approach to development encouraged by the General Plan
and the Town's Fast Track Guide for New Residences (Goal II: Design Your Home to Fit the Site
and to be Unobtrusive with the Neighborhood—see Attachment 6).
In applying these policies to the proposed project,the design for the residence is incompatible with
the General Plan because it does not incorporate the existing topography of the site and it does not
comply with the guidelines for new development. The proposed development would cut a large
shelf out of the existing property and erect a rectangular box with minimal articulation on the side
elevations. The long south wall is proposed to be only 15 feet from the property line. The proposed
location of the open parking area and driveway would inhibit the ability to provide landscape
screening from the adjacent property or the street and the grading necessary to construct these
improvements may damage existing native vegetation. In addition,the north wall would be erected
only ten (10) feet from the property line and has little articulation. Furthermore, there is no "step
down" approach proposed in the design and significant grading would be necessary in order to
construct the garage under the house. By placing the garage in the basement, additional floor area
is made available for a larger structure above ground (as the Town does not count basement area
as floor area).
Findings for Conditional Development Permit
As required by Section 10-1.1007 of the Zoning Ordinance, the application for a new residence
has been forwarded to the Planning Commission for review and possible approval. A Conditional
Development Permit (CDP) is required since the proposed project is located on a property with a
lot unit factor (LUF) of 0.50 or less. Pursuant to Section 10-1.1007(3) of the Zoning Ordinance,
the Planning Commission shall determine whether the proposed development meets the standards
of the Town by considering evidence in support of the Findings of Approval or Denial..The
applicant has submitted a letter providing suggested findings to support the Conditional
Development Permit (see Attachment 7). Staff has prepared CDP findings for denial (see
Attachment 2).

The findings the Planning Commission must make to approve the project are as follows:
1. The site for the proposed development is adequate in size, shape and topography to
accommodate the proposed intensity of development, including all structures, yards,
open spaces,parking, landscaping, walls and fences, and such other features as may be
required by this chapter.
2. The size and design of the proposed structures create a proper balance, unity and
harmonious appearance in relation to the size, shape and topography of the site and in
relation to the surrounding neighborhood;
3. The rural character of the site has been preserved as much as feasible by minimizing
vegetation and tree removal, excessive and unsightly grading and alteration of natural
land forms.
4. The proposed development is in compliance with all regulations and policies set forth in
the Site Development ordinance.
The Mora Drive neighborhood is a mix of one and two-story homes that were originally built in
the 1940s and 1950s. Many have either been remodeled or replaced with new dwellings that are
typically larger than the previous home. Most of the homes in the neighborhood were developed
under the County of Santa Clara zoning code regulations which require 20 foot side yard setbacks,
although the regulations allow for variations in setbacks for accessory buildings and reduced
setbacks depending on the lot width and depth. Since the area was first subdivided, many of the
original lots were altered, merged, and or divided resulting in a mixture of large and small lots and
a wide diversity in development. In general, the buildings are a mix of ranch and post-modern
architectural design styles with multiple articulated wall and roof elements and adequate separation
between main residences on abutting lots. A walking survey of the neighborhood revealed that
many of the homes are aligned parallel to the street with a long front elevation and narrow side
yard profile and a majority of the homes in the immediate surrounding area have side yard setbacks
generally between 20 and 30 feet when measured from the street edge. However, there are three
residences on Mora Drive in close proximity to the subject property with attached garages that
appear to be less than 20 feet from the side property line. Two of these lots have dwellings placed
at an angle to the side lot line and the corners of the main structure are closer to the property line
than the whole structure overall. In addition, staff found two detached garages that appear to be
less than 10 feet from the property line.
Based on the proposed design of the project, staff cannot support findings to approve a CDP. The
proposed structure is out of scale with the neighborhood, the proposed building's mass has not
been reduced to minimize visual impacts, and the proposed placement of the structure on the site
does not allow for adequate screening from surrounding homes.
The proposed residence is essentially a rectangular box,with minimal wall articulation on the side
elevations. Further, the proposed design does not incorporate the sloping topography of the site
into the floor plan. To be more compatible with the surrounding neighborhood, the development
Planning Commission
Lands of Linebarger—10758 Mora Drive
June 2,2016
Page 7
could incorporate retaining walls into the structure to eliminate grading within ten (10) feet of the
property line,provide greater articulation of the side elevations by utilizing recessed courtyards or
decks,add bunkers to bury portions of the living area,relocate the garage and/or provide a detached
garage in front of the residence, and bring the open parking space to the front of the house.
Although the development area contains no heritage or protected trees, the existing established
vegetation would be completely removed due to the proposed mass grading of the property and
existing established vegetation that provides potential screening along the side property line for
the new residence could be negatively impacted by the large cuts.
In conclusion, the residence as proposed appears to be inconsistent with existing development
patterns in the surrounding neighborhood and the design of the house does not sufficiently address
the potential visual impacts that would result from its construction. The design appears to be more
suited to a flat, urban lot and does not utilize the existing topography to incorporate elements that
would be make it more consistent with the Town's General Plan and Fast Track Guide. Staff's
recommended findings of denial for the CDP are provided in Attachment 1. Staff is also
recommending denial of the Site Development Permit due to the fact that following the denial of
the CDP and variances, the development of the site cannot proceed as currently proposed on this
substandard property.
Outdoor Lighting
Outdoor lighting is shown on the building elevations and consists of recessed lighting in the garage
opening and lights in the front entry, guardrail lighting on the second story deck, and wall lights
at the doors facing the rear yard. The proposed lighting generally complies with the Town's
Outdoor Lighting Policy. The Town's standard requirements for outdoor lighting include the use
of fixtures that are down-directed, shielded, and/or to have frosted or opaque glass so the light
source is not visible.
Grading & Drainage
The Engineering Department has reviewed the civil engineering plans and has developed
recommended conditions should the Planning Commission decide to approve the project. As
proposed,the entire development area on the property would be heavily graded with extensive cut
primarily for the basement excavation,and fill to create a rear yard. The grading quantities include:
• 1,412 cubic yards of cut
• 6 cubic yards of fill
• 1,406 cubic yards export
The drainage design directs water into area drains and swales and conveys the water to a detention
basin consisting of one large diameter storage pipe installed below grade and located in the rear
yard beyond the oak trees to convey water away from the adjacent property and towards the
drainage channel at the rear. The volume to be stored is based on the amount of rain water from a
10-year storm event, one-hour duration over the proposed two dimensional impervious surfaces.
Planning Commission
Lands of Linebarger— 10758 Mora Drive

Page 8
Overflow would meter out to an energy dissipater/bubbler and sheet flow to the rear after the storm
event has passed. In addition,the Flood Insurance Rate Maps show that the property is not within
a flood hazard area.
Geotechnical Review
The applicant has provided a Geotechnical Investigation prepared by Connell Geotechnical, Inc.,
dated May 21, 2014. The investigation found that the soils have high expansive qualities but that
the site is suitable for the proposed dwelling. Specific grading and foundation design
recommendations have been included in the report and would be included in any future conditions
of approval for the project, including follow-up documentation and review of the construction
documents by the project geologist.
Trees & Landscaping
The property has a dense oak grove on the lower slopes of the property which are outside of the
development area and will be included in an open space easement. All plants will likely be
removed in the development area due to the excessive grading proposed. It is recommended that
if the project is approved, final landscape screening for the dwelling should be reviewed and
approved by the Planning Commission at a noticed public hearing.
Green Building Ordinance
The applicant submitted a GreenPoint checklist in compliance with the Town's Green Building
Ordinance. The new residence is designed to achieve 91.0 points which would exceed the
minimum of 50 points required for certification.
Fire Department Review
The Santa Clara County Fire Department reviewed the plans and has required that the building be
equipped with fire sprinklers. The property is located in the Town's Wildland-Urban Interface
(WUI) Fire Area which includes restrictions on exterior materials and landscaping for fire safety.
Sanitation
The new residence would be allowed to connect to the existing sewer line that serves Mora Drive
upon payment of applicable fees. No additional sewer easements are required.
Site Design and Setback Variance Findings
Each variance request is unique and should be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. In addition, the
Commission should consider the scale of the variance in relation to existing development in the
surrounding neighborhood. A list of previous variance approvals is included in Attachment 8.
Planning Commission
Lands of Linebarger— 10758 Mora Drive
June 2,2016
Page 9
The lot's narrow width and the Town's 30-foot side yard setback requirement would allow for a
maximum development area width of approximately two and one half feet between the front and
rear setbacks if the project was built without variances. Thus, it would be difficult to develop a
residence of the size proposed without seeking a variance for reduced side setbacks. As stated
above, the neighborhood contains buildings with varying setback distances, with residences,
detached garages and other accessory buildings located closer to property lines than would be
permitted by Town regulations. However, the request for a ten (10) foot and 15 foot side yard
setback for the entire wall of the main residence is not consistent with the overall development
patterns in the neighborhood. Also, the proposed design of the garage on the side of the house and
under the main floor significantly limits the applicant's ability to provide landscape screening
along the side property line and would require grading within two(2)feet of the property line. The
applicant has submitted a letter providing suggested findings to support the proposed variances
(see Attachment 9).
In order to approve a Variance,the Planning Commission must make the following four findings:
1. That, because of exceptional or extraordinary circumstances applicable to the subject
property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict
application of the provisions of this title is found to deprive such property of privileges
enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification;
2. That upon the granting of the variance, the intent and purpose of the applicable sections
of this title will still be served and the recipient of the variance will not be granted special
privileges not enjoyed by other surrounding property owners;
3. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public
welfare or injurious to the property,,improvements or uses within the immediate vicinity
and within the same zoning district;
4. That the variance will not authorize a use or activity which is not otherwise expressly
authorized by the zoning district regulations governing the parcel or property.
A project with a substandard lot size and an LUF of 0.50 or less may qualify as meeting the criteria
in Findings #1 and a portion of#2 based on the fact that the lot area is substantially less than the
one-acre minimum. The subject property is .398 acres and the building envelope, without a
variance, would be less than three (3) feet in width. The Planning Commission recently approved
reduced side yard setbacks (12 feet) for a remodel/addition to an existing residence on a
substandard parcel on Fremont Road and for front and rear yard setback variances (approximately
14 feet) for a replacement dwelling on a 0.7-acre lot on Moody Road. However, in these cases,
both properties contained existing residences with established setback encroachments and the new
structures/additions did not increase the degree of nonconformity. Here, the applicant proposes to
build on a vacant lot with no existing nonconforming structures.
Staff does not support the Commission granting the requested variances because there are other
design options that can be incorporated into the project that would reduce the amount of
Planning Commission
Lands of Linebarger— 10758 Mora Drive
June 2,2016
Page 10
encroachment necessary to develop the lot. The project could be redesigned to eliminate the need
for a variance for grading within ten (10) feet of the property line, and other variances could be
reduced through design alterations. For example, additional articulation could be achieved through
the use of a courtyard, use of recessed patios and/or decks, or stepping back portions of the upper
floor level. Another option would be for the applicant to request a variance from a different section
of the code to make the project more compatible with the neighborhood, such as the use of a bunker
under a courtyard with a light well, which would be less visually imposing than the proposed
structure as long as the bunker and light well are well screened and the structures are not within
ten(10) feet of the property line.
At the February 4, 2016 Study Session pertaining to the applicant's two Mora Drive lots, the
Planning Commission stated that the Town's standards would be used to review the projects and
that the visible portions of the structure should be reduced in mass. The applicant chose not to
make any changes to the design to address the Commission's comments.
In summary,while this substandard,narrow lot retains characteristics that may support the granting
of less impactful variances,the applicant's current requests would require the Commission to grant
a special privilege because the amount of encroachment could be reduced and still accommodate
a development on the property that is better aligned with the Town's General Plan policies,zoning
standards and the character of the neighborhood. Staff's recommended findings for denial for the
variance request are provided in Attachment 2.
Driveway &Parking
The applicant's proposal includes a new driveway access off Mora Drive that drops below grade
and turns into a garage that is oriented at 90 degrees to the side property line. This design is
preferable to one where the garage faces the street from a design perspective. However, due to the
narrowness of the lot and the placement of the garage under the house, this design results in side
yard encroachments for the driveway, back-up area and parking, and would require a variance for
grading within ten(10) feet of the property line. The owner/applicant has stated that the driveway
was designed to avoid the need for a fire truck turnaround. A fire truck turnaround is only required
if a driveway exceeds 150 feet in length from the street to the structure(per the Santa Clara County
Fire Department Fire Marshal). Based on the Town's garage depth(20 feet clear—21 foot garage
depth to outside walls) and back-up space requirement(26 feet), a minimum of 47 feet is required.
Based on a lot width of 62.5 feet, a design with the garage and open parking in front of the house
would reduce the amount of grading within ten (10) feet of the property line.
With regard to applicant's request to place open parking and vehicle back-up areas within ten(10)
feet of the property line, staff would recommend that the home be moved further away from the
street to allow for open parking and a garage in front of the house. The garage and parking could
be cut into the existing slope to reduce the visual impact and allow for increased screening. This
would also provide a greater setback from the street for the residence.

PUBLIC COMMENT
The Town has received several public comments related to this proposed project over the past year
and a half, including a petition signed by more than 95 residents opposing any development on the
lot (see Attachment 10). Several residents have also retained an attorney, whose most recent
comment on the legality of the lot is included in Attachment 11.
Town Committee's Review
The Pathways Committee recommended that the applicant construct a Type 2B path with a
separation barrier from the road. This requirement would be included as a condition of approval
should the project be approved.
The Environmental Design and Protection Committee did not provide any recommendations
regarding the proposed project.
ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE (CEQA)
The proposed single family residence is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act per Section 15303(a) —construction of a new single family residence
where public services are available in a residential zone.

FINDINGS OF DENIAL FOR THE CONDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT
LANDS OF LINEBARGER; 10758 Mora Drive
File# 413-14-ZP-SD-GD-CDP-VAR
1. Pursuant to Los Altos Hills Municipal Code section 10-1.1007(3)(a)(fl, in order to approve a
Conditional Development Permit (CDP), the Planning Commission must make the following
finding:
The site for the proposed development is adequate in size, shape and topography to
accommodate the proposed intensity of development, including all structures, yards,
open spaces, parking, landscaping, walls and fences, and such other features as may be
required by this chapter.
However, based on the applicant's proposed project design, the Planning Commission makes
the following finding in support of denial of the CDP:
The site for the proposed development is not adequate in size, shape and topography to
accommodate the proposed intensity of development, including all structures, yards,
open spaces, parking, landscaping, walls and fences, and such other features as may be
required by this chapter.
The subject property is a narrow, substandard lot with a Lot Unit Factor under 0.5 and
limitations on the maximum amount of floor area and development area. This results in a
limited building envelope that may not support the construction of the proposed residence,
garage or required parking without the need for some form of a variance. However, the size
and design of the proposed development would contain over 4,000 square feet of living area
and ten (10)foot and 15 foot side yard setbacks for the side walls of the main residence. The
dwelling as proposed would be a boxy, rectangular, two-story structure, with minimal wall
articulation. The result is a structure that is not consistent with the development patterns in
the neighborhood because existing homes are oriented towards the street and the side
elevations are articulated and narrow. Furthermore, the design of the garage on the side of
the house and under the main floor would limit the ability to provide landscape screening
along the side property line and would require grading to occur within two (2)feet of the
property line.
2. Pursuant to Los Altos Hills Municipal Code section 10-1.1007(3)(a)(2), in order to approve a
CDP, the Planning Commission must make the following finding:
The size and design of the proposed structures create a proper balance, unity and
harmonious appearance in relation to the size, shape and topography of the site and in
relation to the surrounding neighborhood.

However, based on the applicant's proposed project design, the Planning Commission makes
the following finding in support of denial of the CDP:
The size and design of the proposed structures does not create a proper balance, unity
and harmonious appearance in relation to the size, shape and topography of the site
and in relation to the surrounding neighborhood.
The proposed residence would be a boxy, rectangular, two-story structure, with minimal wall
articulation on the side elevations and would encroach between 15 and 20 feet into the
standard 30 foot side yard setbacks. The proposed design does not incorporate the sloping
topography of the site into the floor plan or site plan and the project incorporates substantial
grading to create a flat development area for the placement of the home. A design that
would be more compatible with the topography of the site might incorporate retaining walls
into the structure to eliminate grading within ten (10) feet of the property line, provide
greater articulation of the side elevations by utilizing recessed courtyards or decks, add
bunkers to bury portions of the living area, relocate the garage and/or provide a detached
garage in front of the residence.
3. Pursuant to Los Altos Hills Municipal Code section 10-1.1007(3)(a)(3), in order to approve a
CDP, the Planning Commission must make the following finding:
The rural character of the site has been preserved as much as feasible by minimizing
vegetation and tree removal, excessive and unsightly grading and alteration of natural
land forms.
However, based on the applicant's proposed project design, the Planning Commission makes
the following finding in support of denial of the CDP:
The rural character of the site has not been preserved as much as feasible by
minimizing vegetation and tree removal, excessive and unsightly grading and alteration
of natural land forms.
The design does not incorporate the sloping topography of the site into the floor plan and site
plan and the proposal involves substantial grading to create a flat development area for the
placement of the home. Although the proposed development area contains no heritage or
protected trees, the existing established vegetation along the side property lines would be
removed in the development area due to the proposed grading within two (2) feet of the
property line. In addition, the grading and retaining walls for the parking and driveway
access into the underground garage significantly inhibit the ability to provide landscape
screening along the side property line.
4. Pursuant to Los Altos Hills Municipal Code section 10-1.1007(3)(a)(4), in order to approve a
CDP, the Planning Commission must make the following finding:
The proposed development is in compliance with all regulations and policies set forth in
the Site Development ordinance.
2
However, based on the applicant's proposed project design, the Planning Commission makes
the following finding in support of denial of the CDP:
The proposed development is not in compliance with all regulations and policies set
forth in the Site Development ordinance.
The proposed residence is not in compliance with the grading or building siting requirements
in the Site Development Ordinance. Grading is proposed within ten (10)feet of the side
property lines which is prohibited by Section 10-2.407 of the Town's Municipal Code and the
amount of grading exceeds the minimum amount necessary to accommodate the proposed
structure which is inconsistent with Section 10-2.702(c) which states that the location of all
structures should create as little disturbance as possible to the natural landscape and that
the amount of grading shall be the minimum necessary to accommodate the proposed
structures. The proposed design would result in the removal of existing established
vegetation due to the substantial grading of the property to create a two-level basement and
the driveway,parking and retaining walls within two (2)feet of the property line.

FINDINGS OF DENIAL FOR THE VARIANCE REQUEST
LANDS OF LINEBARGER; 10758 Mora Drive
File #413-14-ZP-SD-GD-CDP-VAR
1. Pursuant to Los Altos Hills Municipal Code section 10-1.1007(2)(b)(1), in order to grant
a variance request, the Planning Commission must make the following finding:
That, because of exceptional or extraordinary circumstances applicable to the
subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the
strict application of the provisions of this title is found to deprive such property.of
privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zoning
classification.
However, based on the applicant's proposed project design, the Planning Commission
makes the following finding in support of denial of the variance:
Although subject property is substandard in size, the applicant's current variance
requests exceed what is necessary for reasonable development and.thus, the strict
application of the provisions of this title would not deprive such property of
privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zoning
classification.
The proposed development is a 33.5 foot wide, 2,520 square foot two-story rectangular
box-shaped residence. It is proposed to be built on a narrow .398-acre lot, which, at its
widest point, is 62.81 feet wide and has an average width of just 62.65 feet. If the seven
(7) requested variances were granted, the proposed residence would encroach into the
standard 30 foot side yard setbacks by 15 and 20 feet and the required parking and back-
up area would encroach to within two (2) feet of the property line. Further, if the
variances were granted, the development's proposed garage design would inhibit the
owner's ability to provide landscape screening along his property line. There are several
available design changes that would lessen the impact of the development on the
neighboring lots and allow for a development with less substantial variance
requirements. Some of these possible design changes include incorporating the retaining
walls into the structure and increased wall articulation through the use of a courtyard,
recessed patios and/or decks, or stepping back portions of the upper floor level. The
applicant was made aware of design concerns through written correspondence and at the
February 4, 2016 Planning Commission study session. However, the applicant declined
to make changes to the design. Therefore, although the imposition of the same setbacks
and zoning standards that apply to a typical property in the neighborhood to this
relatively narrow lot may deprive the property owner of certain privileges, the number
and scale of the variances requested are not consistent with the privileges enjoyed by
other properties in the vicinity, even for those who have developed similarly-sized lots.
1
The extraordinary circumstances applicable to this development result not from the
property itself of which there are parcels of similar size and dimension in the Town
where residences have been approved and built, but in the applicant's decision to retain
the current proposal and not adjust his proposed design so that these exceptional
variances may no longer be necessary.
2. Pursuant to Los Altos Hills Municipal Code section 10-1.1007(2)(b)(2), in order to grant
a variance request, the Planning Commission must make the following finding:
That upon the granting of the variance, the intent and purpose of the applicable
sections of this title will still be served and the recipient of the variance will not be
granted special privileges not enjoyed by other surrounding property owners.
However, based on the applicant's proposed project design, the Planning Commission
makes the following finding in support of denial of the variance:
That upon the granting of the variance, the intent and purpose of the applicable
sections of this title will not be served and the recipient of the variance will be
granted special privileges not enjoyed by other surrounding property owners.
Section 10-1.1007(2)(a) of the Los Altos Hills Municipal Code provides that "the
purpose of the variance is to resolve practical difficulties or undue hardships, not of the
applicant's own making, which may result from the exceptional size, shape, topography,
location, or other physical site conditions. " Although the lot where the development is
proposed to be constructed is narrow, it is not exceptionally so, and the applicant has
declined to amend the proposed design of the development to adjust to the constraints of
this property. There are several design options that can be incorporated into the project
that would reduce the amount of encroachment necessary to develop the lot. The project
could be redesigned to eliminate the need for a specific variance such as grading within
ten feet of the property line by incorporating the retaining walls into the structure and by
relocating the garage to the front of the residence; the request for a side yard setback
variance could be reduced through the use of a courtyard, recessed balconies and patios,
and other design features that break up the long box-like structure and utilizes the
existing grade of the property. Alternatively, the applicant could request one or more
variances from a different section of the municipal code that is more compatible with the
neighborhood (e.g., request a variance to build a bunker in the setback which is less
visually imposing than an above-grade structure and can be more easily screened). In
sum, the Town's purpose for granting variances would not be served by granting the
applicant's variance requests for an exceptional development on this property, especially
in light of the applicant declining to address the Town's concerns with the proposed
design, such that fewer or less substantial variances would be required. Here, granting
the requested variances would result in the grant of a special privilege to the applicant
because the amount of setback encroachment and seven (7) variances being requested
are more than that enjoyed by surrounding property owners and these design features
could be reduced while still allowing for the construction of a new residence on the
property.
2
3. Pursuant to Los Altos Hills Municipal Code section 10-1.1007(2)(b)(3), in order to grant
a variance request, the Planning Commission must make the following finding:
That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public
welfare and injurious to the property, improvements or uses within the immediate
vicinity and within the same zoning district.
However, based on the applicant's proposed project design, the Planning Commission
makes the following finding in support of denial of the variance:
That the granting of such variances may be materially detrimental to the public
welfare and injurious to the property, improvements or uses within the immediate
vicinity and within the same zoning district.
The granting of such variances for the proposed development of the property may be
materially detrimental to the public welfare and injurious to surrounding properties as
the development is proposed to encroach within 10 and 15 feet of the property lines of the
adjacent lots and is not designed in a way that is compatible with existing development in
the neighborhood. The over 2,400 square foot footprint of the proposed rectangular box-
like home, would stretch 33.5 feet across the 62.5-foot-wide property. The neighborhood
in the immediate vicinity of the proposed project contains a mixture of residential
structures with varying setback distances and separation between the main residential
buildings of adjacent properties, as well as frequent demonstrated articulation, all of
which lessens the visual impact of high structure walls on the neighboring properties.
Here, the applicant has declined to make further design alterations that would lessen the
impact of the development on the neighboring properties and the existing character of the
neighborhood. Therefore, the applicant's request for a ten (10)foot and 15 foot side yard
setbacks for the entire wall of the main residence, along with minimal proposed
articulation throughout the development, is not consistent with the development patterns
in the neighborhood. Also, the proposed design of the garage on the side of the house and
under the main floor would inhibit the ability of the applicant to provide landscape
screening along the side property line and would require grading to occur within two (2)
feet of the property line of the adjacent property.
4. Pursuant to Los Altos Hills Municipal Code section 10-1.1007(2)(b)(4), in order to grant
a variance request, the Planning Commission must make the following finding:
That the variance will not authorize a use or activity which is not otherwise
expressly authorized by the zoning district regulations governing the parcel or
property.
Based on the applicant's proposed project design, the facts support this finding.
The variance request is for a use that is authorized by the zoning district regulations
governing the property.

Dear Mr. Klein
To address your questions and letters of May 28,June 13, and June 14, 2006,
regarding the legality of portions of lots on Mora Drive, I have attached
the document "Deeds and Lot Legality", which is the County guide for
evidence required to establish that a legal lot exists. The portions of
lots 1 and 3 at issue would have to comply with the deed requirements since
they are not whole lots in the tract. The applicant has provided deeds
recorded in 1941 (portion of Lot 3) and 1948 (portion of Lot 1). To clarify
an issue in your May 28 letter,where you asserted that the County required
Mr. Linebarger to prove he had 3 legal lots, is incorrect. There was no
requirement by the County for Mr. Linebarger to obtain Certificates of
Compliance or submit any additional evidence to establish the legality of
the portions of Lots 1 and 3 beyond that required of the initial application
for Building Site Approval.
As I explained to you on the phone, the portions of Lots 1 and 3 were
determined to be legal lots because they were created by deed conveyance
prior to June 25, 1969 (in 1941 and 1948). They have have not been merged
by any action of the County and "shall not be deemed merged by virtue of the
fact that the contiguous parcels or units are held by the same owner"
[Government Code Section 66451.10(a)].
If you have any recorded deeds which explicitly state that these lots are
being merged, please let me know, so that they can be reviewed. Contiguous
lots held in the same ownership are not considered to be merged unless the
owner explicitly states that the lots are to be merged. A single boundary
description which includes 3 parcels does not extinguish the lot lines
between the parcels or merge the parcels. In the deeds recorded between the
members of the Malovos family, the description clearly states that the
property described is "a portion of Lots 1 and 3 and all of Lot 2 . ." (i.e.
document#15345652, Santa Clara County Recorder), which indicates that the
three parcels are being recognized as individual lots by the owners.
I also reviewed the information that you provided from San Mateo County.
These situations are different in that the lots on Mora Drive were created
by a Tract Map and by grant deeds. The San Mateo finding states that "it
has not been established that the 5-acre parcel was ever created by deed
separately from another parcel."
Underlying Lots are addressed in the County Zoning Ordinance in Section
3.40. See the County website at www.sccplanning.org. Lot mergers are found
in County Ordinance Code Section C12-299 and Certificate of compliance is
found in Section C12-233.
Hopefully this addresses your concerns. You may view the files for the
certificates at our counter on Mondays from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm and Tuesday
through Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Dear Michael:
Thank you very much for returning my call yesterday and explaining how
you felt justified in issuing a Certificate of Compliance for three
lots within Parcel No. 331-15-022.
I would be very interested in reviewing the Santa Clara County
Subdivision Guidelines or Regulations, particularly as they refer to
underlying lots. Is there such a document on record? If so, can you
please advise me as to where I can find it, either on the County
website or as hard copy?
Also, I would be very appreciative if you could document for me the
analysis that lead you to conclude that Parcel No. 331-15-022 comprised
three legal lots and prompted you to issue a Certificate of Compliance
to the applicant.
Thank you very much for helping me understand the County's procedure.

Commissioner Tankha inquired about the lot requirements of county versus Town
standards. Mr. Padovan said the county has certain rules for substandard lots, and
has allowed reduced setbacks on said lots.

February 4,2016
Regular Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
Approved March 10.'_016
Commissioner Abraham said that the Commission has been aware of this
underlying lot problem for quite some time and have yet to develop an ordinance
that would assist in processing these applications that would be compliant with
State of California laws. He said that developing a policy that was useful for the
Town needed to become a priority.
Chair Couperus said that when this first came up he was under the impression that
there might be a rule that if one owner owned contiguous substandard lots then they
could be told to merge them. It turns out that they do not have that rule, but
understood at the time that they could develop this rule for future situations. He
then asked if the Town still needed to come up with a set of words that would meet
the State's Map Act standards. Mr. Padovan said it would be a good idea should
something like this happen again.
Commissioner Mandle mentioned that the State Map Act says that the Town
cannot compel lot mergers of lots above a particular size, so it would have no effect
on these particular properties.
Commissioner Abraham said that he was not aware that there had been a change
in how the Town calculates basements, and that he did not agree with the
applicant's interpretation and it should be changed. He said that the County does
have different rules about setbacks than the Town, but as the properties are now in
Los Altos Hills, county regulations should not be considered. Any variances
considered or granted would be based on the Town's policies.
Commissioner Mandle said that she had no issues with the way the basement was
interpreted as Commissioner Partridge was on the subcommittee that created the
current ordinance. She said that developments like this on small oddly shaped lots
are limited by the setbacks, and as such this project had too much proposed
development for the lot. She agreed with Commissioner Abraham that the Town
needs to prepare for more situations that may arise in the future.
Commissioner Tankha said that before the Commission could continue with this
conversation they needed to decide whether or not the Town could declare a lot to
be unbuildable, and if so, under what circumstances. She agreed that any new
development should follow Town regulations and variances would be considered
per these regulations on a case by case basis.
Commissioner Partridge agreed that these lots are a part of the Town and will
have to follow Town standards. There have been a lot of older homes coming to the
Commission recently with a need for a variance, and the Commission needed to
look at the types of variances that have been approved recently when moving
forward. A variance is not an easy thing to obtain, and a request for a variance
should be more modest than what is being presented here. He added that the
basement ordinance update came about because of two-story houses coming in with
large day-lighted basements, giving the appearance of another floor. The project

Chair Couperus said the reason for setbacks is to provide residents with visual
separation between lots. He then asked if a setback violation below ground was as
serious as a violation above ground, as it cannot be seen. The current desired use of
Maximum Floor Area (MFA) is forcing applicants to ask for encroachments into
the setback, and as every case that comes before them is unique, he did not think
they would be able to come up with a "one-size fits all" formula.
Mr. Padovan confirmed that the Commission wanted to follow Town criteria
moving forward, that they would like the applicant to focus more on meeting the
basement criteria, and that they would wait to decide on the setbacks until they have
a response from the City Attorney's office on whether or not the lot is buildable.
Chair Couperus added that this situation is also unusual in the fact that there is no
existing house to serve as a reference to build from, which has been the case on the
other properties coming before them.
Commissioner Abraham asked if Mr. Grutzmacher if he had any thoughts or
comments on the evening. Mr. Grutzmacher said he had no additional comments.
The Planning Commission thanked the audience for a respectful meeting.

Welcome to Los Altos Hills
Los Altos Hills is a residential community nestled in the scenic foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains.Once a.rural agricultural
area, the community has become one of the premier residential areas in:SiliconValley. Over the years, the population has grown
and land use patterns have changed. The farmhouses, cattle ranches, and orchards of the past have become today's private
homes, riding stables, and vineyards. The community has gradually urbanized over time .but still retains a semi-rural
atmosphere, with large lots and expanses of open space, as envisioned by the Town's founders:
The Town is characterized by rolling hills, valleys, creeks, woods, and wildlife. Many properties have sweeping views of the San
Francisco Bay, Santa Clara Valley, and the coastal mountains to the west. Most well established properties fit into the
immediate environment and harmoniously blend with the overall neighborhood.
The Town's Zoning Ordinances and General Plan require that every effort be made to preserve the Town's semi-rural character,
natural atmosphere, and rustic appearance. '•Thus, a newcomer who buys an undeveloped lot with the intent of building an
entirely new home is faced with a special challenge, and a resident who wishes to rebuild an existing residence must be careful
to see these requirements are met:
•
The purpose of this guide and the checklist is to help those who are planning to build new homes to understand the basic
philosophy behind the Zoning Ordinances and the General Plan. Such an understanding willhelp them arrive, more rapidly, at a
home design which will be consistent with the demands of the environment, and also assist in avoiding the delay and costs of
• redesigns.
Building of homes in the Town is.regulated by the Town's Zoning Ordinances and the.General Plan. This handbook is meant to.
familiarize the homeowner and/or designer with the spirit of these legal documents and is not meant to replace them. If this
guide appears in any detail to conflict with them, the Zoning Ordinances and the General Plan take precedence.
If you need any additional clarification of theseguidelines, the Town staff will always be ready and pleased toprovide it.

Things to Keep in Mind When You Use This Guide
1. This guide has been developed to beconsistentwith the Town's ordinances, policies, and regulations. Ordinances and
polices are modified from time to time, so it is advisable to check with the Town Planning Department to determine
whether there have been any significant changes since the guidelines were published.
2. The Fast Track checklist that accompanies this document will be used to determine how closely a proposed new residence
complies with the development philosophy of the Town. A new residenceproject that scores 14 points or less is eligible
for a Fast Track hearing. A project that scores between 15 to 21 points may be forwarded to the Planning Commission. A
project that scores 22 points or greater must be reviewed by the Planning Commission.
3. This guide is intended to set the framework for appropriate design, but not inhibit creativity in design. If your plans
substantially deviate from the guide there must be adequate justification.
4. Every lot in the Town of Los Altos Hills is.unique. Not all aspects of this guide will be applicable to every lot.
5. If you have not yet purchased a home site, and have a particular style of house in mind, you should look for a lot that will
accommodate your chosen style. If you have already acquired a lot, be sure to design a home appropriate for that
specific lot, taking into consideration these guidelines. .
6. On 'a visible lot, both the good and bad points of the design of a home tend to show up more obviously than on a more
secluded lot. Therefore, it is important when planning a home on an exposed lot, to observe this guidebook more rigorously.
7. A pre-application meeting is extremely helpful to the prospective home owner and design professional. The.planning staff
can help point out thecharacteristics of the site and alert the owner to important factors which may notbe obvious. Such
factors may include: on and off site views, configuration of the lot, privacy issues, existing or potential future pathway
requirements, and potential for the requirement of an open space easement. The planning staff can also advise you as to
whether the project would be subject to Fast Track or Planning Commission review.
8. In addition to the required public notice procedure, it is also important to perform neighborhood outreach. Often times it
is possible to work with your neighbors to come to a design solution without compromising your intended design, or
stifling your own creativity. Establishing good relations with your future neighbors can oftenmake the entire planning
review process smoother.

Some of the Town's Key Development Regulations
Basements: Under certain conditions, basements may not count as floor area..
Conservation A portion of land reserve for the purpose of protection the natural vegetation, terrain,
Easement: , watercourses, and wildlife. A conservation easement is voluntarily created and is perpetual in duration.
Fencing: Fencing is restricted in height and openness on certain areas of a lot.
Green All new residences must achieve a minimum rating under either Build It Green or LEED for Homes rating
Building: systems..
Grading: No grading is allowed within 10 feet of the property line.
Height: Maximum permitted building height.is 27 feet measured from natural or finishedgrade, whichever is lower. The
maximum height from the building's lowest point to the highest roof elevation is 35 feet.
Klin. Lo t.Size: The minimum size of a lot required for home construction increases with the slope of the land. It is one net
acre if the slope is.10% or less, about 1.5 acres for lots with slopes of 25%, and about 2 acres for lots with
33% slopes.
Open Space Dedication of open space easements may be.required where appropriate as. a condition of approval for new
Easement: development. Each parcel will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis during the site development review
process to determine whether an open space easement should be required, based on the extent of steep slopes
(generally in excess of 30%), the presence of heritage oak trees, and/or creek corridors. Other considerations
include the size of the proposed open space easement, its contiguity with existing open space easements, and
whether the property is located within an Open Space Conservation Area.
Parking: All residences must have at least four off-street parking spaces.
5 Page.
Pathways: If the Town's Master Pathway Plan calls for a path on the property, the path is required to be constructed and
complete when the new residence is completed. Where driveways cross a path, they must have a non-slip
surface. (Title 10, Chapter 2, Article 6 of the Los Altos Hills Municipal Code) ..
Setbacks: Minimum required setbacks are as follows: front yard-40 feet from road right of way or access easement, side
and rear yard-30 feet from property line, road right of way or access easement.
Lot Size Lot Size
Slope Density:. The Town has created slope density requirements as a way to 1NetAve 2N tAcres
equalize the intensity of development on both steep and flat lots.
In general, the steeper the lot,.the larger it needs to be to hold the ��

same amount of development as a flatter lot with equal impact. Slope=1.10% MFA=6,060 MFA=12.000
When implementing this "slope density" concept, the Town
considers two aspects of a building site: the floor area of a building ; g :
and the amount of land covered by development. The Town - '\. MDA=8,843MDA=17,676
imposes a maximum floor area (MFA) and a maximum development .51ope=26% MFA=5,000 MFA=8,641
area (MDA). Two characteristicsof the lot affect these numbers: . �.

site. These limits are designed to keep the overall impact of b4i. ,�. .

Stories: Three (3) story building facades are strongly discouraged, and two (2) story houses may not be permitted on
hilltops and ridges.
Trees: The Town has a Tree Ordinance that protects heritage oak trees.

A. Residential design should be compatible with the terrain of the land. Integrate your design and new
landscaping witty the surrounding environment Retain .the rural .countryside feeling and openness of the
Town's setting. Create a•site.design:that is compatible with the terrain and blends:into the.surroundings. The..
surrounding natural environment should dominate the visual character of your lot.
1. All new construction should be built following the contours of the land in order to create a proper balance, unity,
and harmonious appearance with the site.

Philosophy
B. Natural features of the land and significant existing vegetation should be preserved..Select compatible new
plant materials when designing your landscape plan. Make use of native and existing trees and vegetation,
indigenous grasses, riparian habitat, chaparral, orchards, and oaks. Avoid the introduction of incompatible or
invasive plant species. Plan the outdoor areas and site the house so that existing trees and vegetation can be
preserved. Trees are valued and protected in Los Altos Hills.
1. Retain the natural character of creeks, vegetation, and natural drainage swales on your property, which can ensure
that the existing natural wildlife passageways are not blocked.

Ph%/osophy
A. The appearance of bulk and mass should be minimized when designing a new residence. Techniques include:
greater setbacks for visual separation, avoidance of large massing, implementation of architecturaldetails,
use of texture and color, varied rooflines, and landscaping screening. Siting can mitigate bulk. Whenever
possible, place the house on the lot so that it is framed by the land or existing vegetation:
1. Increasing the setbacks may help mitigate mass and bulk of structures.

Philosophy
C. Exterior materials and colors should blend your house into its surroundings. Utilize colors which occur
naturally in the landscape of your site. Darker or natural colors blend with surroundings. Roofs should be a
dark color if possibleand have a variety of shades of that color. A mixture of materials can create interest and
detail. Wood and stone can help to soften the-appearance of stucco and blend it with the natural setting. The
use of texture and well designed detail added to wall surfaces can distract from large blank wall areas and
minimize their perceived impact.

Appeals Any party dissatisfied with a decision of an administrative body may appeal that decisionto the next
Los Altos Hills Municipal Code higher body. Staff decisions are appealed to the Planning Commission, Planning Commission
Section 10-1.1002 decisions are appealed to the Council.
Average Slope Average slope describes the steepness of a lot and 'is important for determining how much
Los Altos Hills Municipal Code development will be allowed. Lots with average slope exceeding 10% have greater restrictions
Section 10-1.202 regarding amount of development permitted.
Basement A basement is space partly or wholly underground. Under some circumstancesit may not be..
Los Altos Hills Municipal Code counted as floor area.
Section 10-1.202
Building Circle. For a new lot to be created, it-must be able to contain within its net area a circle of 160' in diameter.
Los Altos Hills Municipal Code This is called the building circle. The ultimate building site does not necessarily have. to be inthe
Section 9-1.603(a) ' 'circle, but there must be a`buildable site in the building circle that is accessible by a driveway.
Conditional Development Permit A conditional development permit (CDP) is a permit with special conditions to mitigate problems on
Los Altos Hills Municipal Code substandard or severely constrained lotsgranted by the Planning Commission or the City Council.
Section 10-1.007(3) Among those lots that require CDP's are those that have a lot unit factor (LUF) less than 0.5 and
some lots constrained by habitation setback for geologic hazard or noise.
Conditional Use.Permit ' A conditional use permit (CUP) is a permit granted-by the Planning Commission or City Council for a
Los Alts.Hills Municipal Code 'use. other than residential use. Other uses, as specified in the codes, may be permitted with
Section 10-1.1007(1)
conditions.
Development Area Development area is the total floor area plus the total area of land covered by structures and
Los Altos Hills Municipal code hardscape not included in floor.area. Areas exempted from being counted as development area are.
Section I0-1.502 described in code section 10-1.502. The maximum development area (MDA) is the largest amount of
development area allowed on the lot. It is a function of the net acreage and average slope
(steepness) of the site. Some lots may be so constrained that they may never be able to use their
full MDA. •
Findings Findings are a set of circumstances which will make the granting of special privilege such as a
variance, a CUP, or a CDP acceptable under the law.
30,IPage
Floor Area • Floor area is the sum of the area of all floors including the garage and any attic (or similar space)
Los Altos Hills Municipal Code which exceeds seven feet. In addition, any areas over 17 feet from floor to ceiling count double.
Section 10-1.503 Some basements are exempt from being counted as floor area (see definition of basement). The
maximum floor area (MFA) allowed depends onboth the net acreage and slope of the lot.. Because
floor area is part of development area, the greater the floor area the less development area
available outside.
Hardscape Hardscape includes all artificially produced impervious and semi-permeable surfaces, such as
concrete,.asphalt, pools, sports courts, permeable pavers, permeable concrete, grasscrete pavers,
artificial turf, and wooden decks.
Height of a Structure The height of a structure is the distance from natural or finished grade (whichever is lower)to the
Los Altos Hills Municipal Code top of the structure. The maximum height allowed for any vertical section of a.structure is 27 feet,
Section 10-1.504 and 35 feet measured between the lowest natural grade elevation of the structure along the building
line and the highest elevation of the roof of the structure, including appurtenances. An increased
vertical building height of up to 32' may be allowed with increased setbacks.
Heritage Oak A heritage oak is an oak tree with a diameter of 12" or more when measured at least four feet
Los Altos Hills Municipal Code above the root crown.
Section 12-2.101
Human Habitation Setback A human habitation setback (HHS) is an area of a lot on which no habitable structure may be placed
because of a seismic hazard. Such setbacks are typically 25 feet on either side of a fault line.
Lot Unit A lot unit is the minimum acreage required for a lot with a given slope. A three acre parcel will
contain three lot units if its slope is 10% or less, two lot units if its slope is 25%, but only one lot
with slope of 42%.
.
Lot Unit Factor The lot unit factor (LUF) is the number of lot units in a given parcel. Some lots with a LUF less than
Los Altos Hills Municipal Code one were created early in the Town's history. These lots are considered non-conforming and their
Section 10-1.202 development is restricted accordingly. Lots with LUF less than one may not be created today.

Non-Conforming Lot An existing lot that does not meet the Town's current standards is considered non-conforming.
Los Altos Hills Municipal Code Among the reasons a lot may non-conforming are: a LUF less than one or a lot unable to hold a 160'
Section 10-1.1007(3) diameter building circle.
Off Road Paths A major recreation amenity of the Town is our off road pathway system. Paths usually run along
Los Altos Hills Municipal.Code easements located on the property lines of many parcels.

Open Space Easement Open space easements exist to protect the land and such natural features as slopes over 30%, oak
tree coverage, and creeks. There may be additional restrictions depending on the nature of the
easement.
Ridgeline • Lots deemed to be on a ridgeline may be subject to 'design restrictions aimedat making the
Los Altos Hills Municipal Code structures less conspicuous.
Section 10-2.702(b)
Road Right of Way The full width of the road is the road right of way. Usually only a portion of it is paved.
Secondary Unit A secondary unit is an attached or detached dwelling unit which has facilities for eating, sleeping,
Los Altos Hills Municipal Code cooking, and sanitation located on the same parcel as the primary unit. A secondary unit may not
Section 10-1.702(I) exceed 1,000 square feet in floor area. No more than one secondary unit is allowed per parcel. One
net acre is required.
Setback The setback is a line defining an area adjacent to the property line in which no structures may be
Los Altos Hills Municipal Code built. There is a 30 foot setback for the rear and side property lines and a 40 foot setback for the front.
Section 10-1.505
Site Analysis Site analysis is a.process by which a homeowner meets with staff before development plans have
progressed substantially to learn about potential constraints, design considerations, and general
guidelines in designing a home.
Variance • • A.variance is an exemption to a law or standard granted to resolve a difficulty or inequity (not of the
Los Altos Hills Municipal Code applicant's own making) which may result from exceptional circumstances of a property. .

1. The site for the proposed development is adequate in size, shape, and topography
to accommodate the proposed intensity of development, including all structures, yards,
open spaces,parking, landscaping, walls, and fences, and other such features as may be
required by this chapter.
The site is gently sloping off Mora Drive. It is located in a neighborhood composed
primarily of existing homes on non-conforming lots. Recognizing that no development
could occur in strict conformance with the side yard setback requirements a variance is
requested as a part of this application. The proposed development complies with the
floor area and development area maximums and is in keeping with the development
intensity of the neighborhood.
2. The size and design of the proposed structures create a proper balance, unity and
harmonious appearance in relation to the size, shape, and topography of the site and in
relation to the surrounding neighborhood.
This area of Mora Drive consists of a mix of one, two and three story homes of varying
age and styles. Lots in the area are generally less than one acre and have non-
conforming setbacks. A narrow home has been proposed to conform with the shape of
the lot. A 20' setback has been provided to the south side yard,which abuts lot of
common ownership. A 20' building setback and 10' parking setback has been provided
at the south side, which abuts a property of common ownership. Other homes in the area
have similar setbacks and site constraints.
The proposed home would include 2,506 sq.ft. of floor area with a basement of
1,915sq.ft. of habitable area and 670 sq.ft. of garage. Hence,the overall size of the home
is consistent with the size allowed on conforming lots, but the visible above grade
portion of the home is consistent with the MFA of older homes in the neighborhood
which have not yet been redeveloped,but can reasonably be expected to be redeveloped
or expanded in the future to maximize square footage.
The proposed residence is a single story home to reduce mass and height. The home
steps down to follow the gently sloping topography. Low slope roof have been used to
1
further limit overall height. A partially vegetated roof has been proposed at the rear to
further reduce visual impact.
The houses have been designed in a modern style home with clean lines and natural
materials. The textures and massing of the building reduces the bulk and adds visual
interest to the facades. The materials proposed for the residence are of high quality and
similar to other newer homes in the neighborhood. The architecture will fit and
compliment the variety of house styles in the neighborhood today and in the future.
3. The rural character of the site has been preserved as much as feasible by minimizing
vegetation and tree removal, excessive and unsightly grading and alteration of natural
land forms.
Existing trees will primarily be preserved.No tree will be removed that provides
screening from neighboring properties. Existing trees and shrubs will be supplemented
by new landscaping to afford additional screening of the residence, and blend the site
into the natural environment. Grading cuts are limited to those necessary for access and
use of the site.
The 40 foot front setback (plus an additional 5' dedication•required by the Town) is
larger than the front yard setbacks for a majority of homes in the neighborhood and
provides an open rural feel. The retained trees to the rear of the house with preserve the
forested aspect to the east.
4. The proposed development is in compliance with all regulations and policies set forth in
the Site Development Ordinance.
A side yard setback variance has been requested to accommodate the residence, but it is
in keeping with the Site Development Ordinance and is similar to other homes in the
neighborhood. The side development authority has the power to approve the proposed
driveway location within 10' of the side property line.

Variance Findings for Request a Variance for Side-yard Setbacks
Los Altos Hills Municipal Code §10-1.1007(2)
October 5, 2015
Mora Drive APN No. 331-15-062 Lot 3
Los Altos Hills Municipal Code §10-1.505(c)(3) - 30' side-yard setback required
Los Altos Hills Municipal Code §10-2.407 - 10' grading setback
Los Altos Hills Municipal Code §10-2.1102—(h)' driveway location and construction
•
The proposed building side-yard setbacks are 10' at the north side, and 20' at the south side.
Proposed grading set back is 5' at the north side and 2' at the south side.
1. That, because of exceptional or extraordinary circumstances applicable to the
subject property, including size, shape,topography,location or surroundings,the
strict application of the provisions of this title is found to deprive such property of
privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zoning
classification;
The subject legal parcel is exceptional compared to other parcels in the area because it
smaller and narrower, approximately 0.40 acres and 62.5' in width.
a. Strict application of the 30' setback would yield a buildable area less than 2.5'
wide,making the parcel unbuildable. The proposed building width of 34'-5"
(plus 3'-0 for required basement light wells) allows for a house that is two rooms
across along with an access corridor. The garage is set at basement level
accessed from the side of the house to further reduce frontage requirements and
maximize setbacks. All other properties in the vicinity are zoned R-A, like the
subject parcel, and virtually all of those properties are improved with single
family homes.
b. The property is gently sloped on its front portion but steepens to a canyon in the
rear. The proposed residence is located on the gently sloped portion of the
parcel. This steeper area is being offered by the applicant as a conservation
easement to provide a community benefit. The home on the subject property is
also set toward the front so that it can meet the applicable fire codes, since the
parcel does not have sufficient width to accommodate a fire truck turnaround.
1
c. Neighboring properties enjoy the benefit of reduced side setbacks as well. The
majority of the homes in the neighbors have non-conforming lots in lot size or
setbacks. Numerous homes have side setbacks of under 10'. The attached
Building Setback Neighborhood Map shows surrounding homes with visible
non-conforming building setbacks. Through this variance, we seek to enjoy the
same privilege.
d. Strict application of the grading setback would not allow for a driveway turn
around on the south side, and no grading adjacent to the home on the south side.
Grading on the south side is between properties in common ownership. Grading
to the south side is required for light and ventilation of habitable rooms, as the
home is set deep into the hillside to conform to basement regulations and
minimize bulk and height.
e. Neighboring properties enjoy the benefit of reduced grading setbacks as well
The majority of the homes in the neighborhood have grading within the setback
limitations. The attached Grading Setback Neighborhood Map shows
surrounding properties with visible grading setbacks. Through this variance,we
seek to enjoy the same privilege.
2. That upon the granting of the variance, the intent and purpose of the applicable
sections of this title will still be served and the recipient of the variance will not be
granted special privileges not enjoyed by other surrounding property owners;
The intent of the 30' setback is to provide a reasonable buffer between large homes.
The requested variance would satisfy the intent of the ordinance by reference to the
parcels surrounding the subject parcel:
a. The north side neighboring property is approximately 45' from the property line.
It has a two story façade facing the home which consists of a garage below and
what appears to be a secondary unit above. The proposed distance between the
proposed structure and the garage/rental unit totals approximately 55'.
b. Screening trees have been proposed on the north side to augment the screening
afforded by the three large pine trees between the homes.
c. The subject property has a lot in common ownership to the south.
d. The property has significant tree coverage that restricts visibility from
surrounding parcels.
e. The properties to the east and west are largely blocked from a view of a home on
the subject property by a number trees. The property to the south has the primary
view of the proposed home.
f. The residence has been limited to one story to minimize the visual impact on the
neighboring properties.
g. The proposed structure steps down to follow the grade of the lot and to retain the
natural contours of the terrain.
2
h. A partially vegetated roof has been proposed on the lower roof to mitigate the
density of the proposal.
i. A deed restriction is proposed for the parcel to limit future development to one
story in height.
j. The proposed home would include 2,520 sq.ft. of floor area with a basement of
1,885 sq.ft. of habitable area and 698 sq.ft. of garage. Hence,the overall size of
the home is consistent with the size allowed on conforming lots, but the visible
above grade portion of the home is consistent with the MFA of older homes in
the neighborhood which have not yet been redeveloped, but can reasonably be
expected to be redeveloped or expanded in the future to maximize square
footage.
3. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public
welfare or injurious to the property, improvements or uses within the immediate
vicinity and within the same zoning district;
The variances sought will not be detrimental to the public welfare nor injurious to the
property, improvements or uses within the immediate vicinity. Most homes in the
neighborhood do not meet the setback standards set by the town, including many with
side yards setbacks of 10' or less. There is no indication that any of the occupants of
those homes suffer any ill-effects from having their homes a substantially smaller
distance from each other. Grading setbacks of less than 2' are also common. Occupants
of homes in other places are separated by even less than 40' from their neighbor's
homes, again with no known ill-effects.
4. That the variance will not authorize a use or activity which is not otherwise
expressly authorized by the zoning district regulations governing the parcel or
property.
The use for which the variances are sought is a primary dwelling, an expressly permitted
use in the R-A zone applicable to the subject property(§10-1.701(a)).
