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 Planning Commission Lands of Linebarger— 10728 Mora Drive , June 2,2016 Page 2 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, riot 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 331-15-061 and recently given the address of 10728 Mora Drive, is a.374 acre interior lot located on the east side of Mora Drive approximately 77 feet from the end of the road. The property in bounded on the north, east and west by existing residences and on the south by a private road that provides access to the homes in a subdivision behind the property. 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 68 feet wide at the street and narrows to 59 feet at the rear property line. The Town's side yard setback requirements are 30 feet. Thus, with respect to this lot, a development proposal for a new residence wider than eight feet would require variances for the building, as well as parking. The property slopes downward from west to east, getting steeper as it approaches the rear property • line and has an average slope of approximately 20%. There are several large pine trees and other non-protected trees on the upper portion of the property that would be removed and an oak tree on the lower slopes. In addition, there is a dense row of oaks just outside the southerly property line. Planning Commission Lands of Linebarger—10728 Mora Drive June 2,2016 Page 3 A fault hazard zone was identified on the geotechnical report on the lower slopes of the property. However,this fault hazard zone is outside of the proposed development area. PROPOSED PROJECT The applicant is requesting Conditional Development and Site Development Permits to construct a 2,696 square foot, two-story dwelling with 2,677 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 south property line; 2. Allow for a 15 foot building side yard setback along the north property line; 3. Allow one required open parking space to be placed within five (5) feet of the north property line; 4. Allow the vehicle back-up area for the proposed garage to encroach within five (5) feet of the north property line; 5. Allow for basement lightwells within ten(10) feet of the south property line and 15 feet of the north property line; 6. Allow for patios and decks within the 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. Site Data: Gross Lot Area: .374 acres Net Lot Area: .374 acres Average Slope: 20.46% Lot Unit Factor: .291 • Floor Area Ratio: .165 Area Maximum Proposed Existing Increase Remaining (sq.ft.) (sq.ft.)

CODE REQUIREMENTS The following code sections are applicable to the project: - Section 10-1.502 - Calculation of maximum development area allowed and requirement for a Conditional Development Permit. - Section 10-1.503 - Calculation of maximum floor area allowed and requirement for a Conditional Development Permit. - Section 10-1.505 - Side and rear yard setback requirements for structures and hardscape. - Section 10-1.601 - Off-street parking for residential uses. - Section 10-1.1003 - Variance Procedure - Section 10-1.1004 - Conditional Development Permit Procedure - Section 10-1.1007(2) - Variance Approval Conditions - Section 10-1.1007(3) - Conditional Development Permit Approval Conditions - Section 10-2.301 - Permits required - Section 10-2.407 - Grading not permitted within 10 feet of a property line - Section 10-2.702 - Building siting Section 10-2.1102(h)—Driveway located within 10 feet of the property line 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— 10728 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 north 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 the existing dense screen of oaks that shields the view of the proposed residence from the open space lands to the south. In addition, the south 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). Planning Commission Lands of Linebarger— 10728 Mora Drive June 2,2016 Page 6 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 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 rest of the structure. In addition, staff found two detached garages that appear to be less than ten (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 designed to minimize visual impacts, and the proposed placement of the structure on thesite 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 Planning Commission Lands of Linebarger— 10728 Mora Drive June 2,2016 Page 7 into the floor plan. To be more compatible with the surrounding neighborhood, the development could, among other options, incorporate retaining walls into the structure to eliminate the need for 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 screen trees just outside the south property line 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 proposed 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. One exterior light is shown facing the property to the north. The proposed lighting generally complies with the Town's Outdoor Lighting Policy. The Town 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 gradingquantities include: • 1,988 cubic yards of cut • 55 cubic yards of fill • 1,933 cubic yards export The proposed 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 to convey water away from the adjacent property and toward 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. Overflow Planning Commission Lands of Linebarger— 10728 Mora Drive June 2,2016 Page 8 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 several pine and cedar trees within the development area on the upper part of the property along with native trees and shrub species on the lower slopes with grasses throughout. All plants will be removed in the development area due to the significant grading proposed. It is recommended that if the CDP 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 90 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— 10728 Mora Drive June 2,2016 Page 9 The lot's narrow width and the Town's applicable 30-foot side yard setback requirement would allow for a maximum development area width of eight feet which narrows to zero 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, and with residences, detached garages and other accessory buildings located closer to property lines than would normally 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 .374 acres and the building envelope, without a variance, would be less than ten (10) 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— 10728 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 requests 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. The lot width is 68 feet. Therefore,a garage with a back-up area of 47 feet could be accommodated on the property without grading within ten (10) feet of the property line. With regard to the 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. Planning Commission Lands of Linebarger— 10728 Mora Drive June 2,2016 Page 11 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.

Pursuant to Los Altos Hills Municipal Code section 10-1.1007(3)(a)(1), 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. 1 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 and the native oaks located on the edge of the adjacent property to the south could be negatively impacted by grading up to 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. 2 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. 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. 3 ATTACHMENT 2 ATTACHMENT 2 FINDINGS OF DENIAL FOR THE VARIANCE REQUEST LANDS OF LINEBARGER; 10728 Mora Drive File#415-14-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 identicalzoning 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 37-foot wide, 2,696 square foot two-story rectangular box-shaped residence. It is proposed to be built on a narrow .347-acre lot,i which, at its widest point, is 68 feet wide and has an average width of just 63.5 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. Theire 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 jlor 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 i 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 byl 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 jthe 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 nearly 2,200 square foot footprint of the proposed rectangular box-like home, would stretch 37 feet across the 68-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. 3 H ATTACHMENT 3 From: Michael Dolan<Michael.Dolan@pin.sccgov.org> Subject: Re: County of Santa Clara Subdivision Guidelines Date: June 14, 2006 1:38:24 PM PDT To: "Enrique J. Klein"<ejklein@mac.com> Cc: Angelica Olivera<Angelica.Olivera@pin.sccgov.org>, Carolyn Walsh <Carolyn.Walsh@pin.sccgov.org>,<Paul.Garcia@bos.sccgov.org> g 1 Attachment, 205 KB 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 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.

CEQA review: Categorical Exemption per Section 15303(a) (Staff-S. Padovan). No action will be taken on this item. Consultant Planner Steve Padovan presented the staff report. Commission asked questions of staff. Commission shared a general concern with the applicant's definition of basement and whether or not it met the Town's definition. Chair Couperus clarified that the goal of the study session was to obtain direction on how to proceed with this application, and that a decision would not be made this evening. Applicant Forrest Linebarger spoke on behalf of his application. Staff asked questions of the applicant. Chair Couperus opened the floor to PUBLIC COMMENT. Rosemarie Nahm, Los Altos Hills, presented photos to the Commission of setback violations, and stated her opposition to the proposed development. Karen Kehlet, Los Altos Hills, stated her opposition to the proposed development. Matt Chappel, Los Altos Hills, shared similar concerns with the previous speakers. Hal Feeney, Los Altos Hills, stated his opposition to the variances being requested on these properties. Edward Cristel, Los Altos Hills, stated his opposition to the proposed development. 2 February 4,2016 Regular Planning Commission Meeting Minutes :lpprc vcd;March 10.:201() Esther John, Los Altos Hills, presented a map displaying all the neighbors against this project, and stated her opposition to the proposed development. Gerda Cristel, Los Altos Hills, speaking on behalf of the Winchells, paraphrased a letter submitted by them stating their opposition to the proposed development, and added that she agreed with the statements of previous speakers. David Crocket, Los Altos Hills, was concerned the high density would be fire hazard. Gary Bultman,Los Altos Hills, stated his opposition to the project. Gregory Fretz, Los Altos Hills, stated his opposition to the project. Chair Couperus closed the floor to PUBLIC COMMENT. Chair Couperus opened the floor to PUBLIC COMMENT for Item 4.2. Hal Feeney, Los Altos Hills, stated that Mr. Linebarger had never proposed a two lot subdivision as he had stated in his presentation. Rosemarie Nahm, Los Altos Hills, reiterated her opposition to the proposed development. Esther John, Los Altos Hills, reiterated her opposition to the proposed development. Chair Couperus reminded the audience that they were looking for constructive suggestions on how to proceed with this proposal. Karen Kehlet, Los Altos Hills, said that her constructive suggestion was to not approve this development. Chair Couperus closed the floor to PUBLIC COMMENT. Commission asked questions of staff. Commissioner Mandle asked if there was such a thing as an unbuildable lot. Edward Grutzmacher, Assistant City Attorney, said they were not prepared to answer that question based on the evidence before the Commission this evening, but that City Attorney's office would be happy to prepare a memorandum for the Commission in advance of considering this item again. 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. 3 February 4,2016 Regular Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Approved\larch 10.201() 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 4 February 4,2016 Regular Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Approved March 10.2016 before them did not have a three-story facade and was an appropriate interpretation of the ordinance. 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. 5. OLD BUSINESS - none 6. NEW BUSINESS - none ,_ 1' 7.

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.Silicon Valley. 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 will help 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 these guidelines, the Town staff will always be ready and pleased to,provide it. 3jPage Things to Keep in Mind When You Use This Guide 1. This guide has been developed to be consistent with 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.residence project 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 thecharacteristicsof the site and alert the owner to important factors which may not be 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 often make the entire planning review process smoother. 4.IPage 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 highestroof elevation is 35 feet.. Min. Lot.Size: The minimum size of a lot required for home construction increases with the slope of the land. It is onenet 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 berequired 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 1Net Ave 2Net Acres 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 MDA=15,000 MDA=30,000 same amount of development as a flatter lot with equal impact Slope=1-10% MFA=6,000 MFA=12,000 When implementing this "slope density" concept, the Town considers two aspects of a building site: the floor area of a building �._� � and the amount of land covered by development. The Town ` MDA=8,843MDA=17,670 imposes a maximum floor area (MFA) and a maximum development .slope=20% MFA-5.666 MFA=8,641 area (MDA). Two characteristics of the lot affect .these numbers: the average slope (steepness) and the net area (acreage) of the site. These limits are designed to keep the overall impact of £ . developing steeper. lots no greater than the impact of the traditional �� MDA=5,670 MDA=7,566 Slope.0% MFA=3,570 MFA=5,000 one (1) acre flat lots. m.m, �,..wd a,nn n.o.n.ya...c.oamw0nxcu..� 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. 6_1Page • • Town of Los Altos Halls Planning Review Process for New Residences I 11 • Site Analysis Meeting Pre-Application Meeting `..

B.6 Vertical and horizontal articulation of building facades should be used to avoid long, uninterrupted exterior walls. 4 Appropriate scale and proportions should be incorporated into the design to avoid improper balance of the structure. C.1 For exterior building materials, darker or natural colors are encouraged. 3 D.1 Two story walls which increase perception of mass can be mitigated by introducing detail, setting back the second 5 story, lowering the second story plate height, or using a combination of one and two story elements. E.1 On a sloping lot, a basement underneath a two story home should not be daylighted to avoid the appearance of a three 5 story facade. E.2 The appearance of a stacked three story facade should be avoided. When building on a sloped lot, stepping with the 5 hillside is strongly encouraged. 9IPage Town of Los Altos Hills Fast Track Guide for New Residences Checklist Points range from 1 to 5, 5=Very Important to 1=Recommended, R=Required .(n 0-14 points = Fast Track Hearing •o • 15+ points = Planning Commission Hearing 0- Goal'IV Design for Your,Needs:and,the Needs.of the Town and Those of Your.Neighbors A.1 Minimize fire danger.

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 architectural details, use of'texture andcolor, varied rooflines, and landscaping screening.

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 possible and 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. _. , I.. ?JL4 .i rth Its*'i'1Y,s • ' L._,r f a 1 ' 1r.-_ 1.

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 11111s 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 circumstances it, 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 1lills Alunicipal Code This is called the building circle. The ultimate building site does not necessarily have, to be in the Sectio,,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 lots granted 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 Las Altos Hills Municipal Cele '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 beingcounted asdevelopment area are. sectio„I0-1.603 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.constrainedthat 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 on both 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%, butonly 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 thanone may not be created today. MDA Maximum development area (see development area). Los Altos Hills Municipal Code Section 10-1.502 MFA Maximum floor area (see floor area). Los Altos Hills Municipal Code Section 10-1.503 31IPage Net Area of Lot The net area of a lot is equal to the gross area less panhandles and all public and private easements Los Altos Hills Municipal Code for vehicular access within the parcel. Section 10-1.202 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. Section 10-1.202 On Road Paths Pathways that run along or within a road right of way are call on-road paths. Los Altos Hills Municipal Code Section 10-1.202 . . . . . . • 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 aimed at 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(1exceed 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 toresolve 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.

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 4 A The site is gently sloping off MorDrive. It is a 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 :requestef'as apart 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=ha's'been proposed to-conform with the shape of the lot. A 15' setback has been provided to the south side yard,which abuts a non- buildable right of way lot. A 10' setback has been provided at the north side, which abuts a property of common ownership. Other homes in the area have similar setbacks acid site constraints. The proposed home would include 2,909 sq.ft. of floor area with a basement of 743 sq.ft. of habitable area and 743 sq.ft. of garage. Hence,the overall size of the home is consistent with the size allowed on conforminglots, 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. • . _ 1 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 roofs have been used to 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. A conservation easement has been proposed for the rear portion of the property to provide a benefit to the public. A 10 foot animal corridor has been provided at the bottom of the canyon for animals to go to and from Rancho.San Antonio Open Space Preserve. A pathway has been proposed to provide safe access to Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve for use by the public. 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 and grading for the driveway turn around, but it is in keeping with the Site Development Ordinance and is similar to other homes in the neighborhood. The site development authority has the power to approve the proposed driveway location within 10' of the side property line. 2 Summary of CDP Approvals with/without Variances in LAH since 2004 Address Date Net Lot Type of MFA/ Dwelling Developed Area Floor Variance Granted?

Proposed grading set back is 2' at the north side and 5' 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, approximately 0.38 acres, and narrow, approximately 68' in width at the front 59.3' at the rear. a. Strict application of the 30' building setback would yield a buildable area less than 4' wide, making the parcel unbuildable. The proposed building width of 38'-2"(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 building 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 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. 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 1 Building Setback Neighborhood Map shows surrounding properties with visible non-conforming 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 north side, and no gradingadjacent to the home on the south side. Grading on the north 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 subject property has a right of way lot to the south of the property which serves as the private access roadway to a number of homes to the east, so there is no neighbor to the south. b. The subject property has a lot currently in common ownership to the north. c. The property has significant tree coverage that restricts visibility from surrounding parcels. d. The properties to the east and west are largely blocked from a view of a home on the subject property by a number of large trees. e. The residence has been limited to one story to minimize the visual impact on the neighboring properties. f. The proposed structure steps down to follow the grade of the lot to retain the natural contours of the terrain. g. A partially vegetated roof has been proposed on the lower roof to mitigate the density of the proposal. h. A deed restriction is proposed for the parcel to limit future development to one story in height. i. The proposed home would include 2,696 sq.ft. of floor area with a basement of 1934 sq.ft. of habitable area and 743 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 2 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 homessuffer 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.
