The house sits on a generally level pad, with an unobstructed view of the coast and ocean. The house and garage are to be demolished. An existing detached stable is to remain. A new one-story single family home with attached garage is to be built on the site of the previous home. The existing driveway is to be shifted to the the southerly edge of the property. Grading will be limited to the driveway, the building pad, portions of the front and rear yard. Site plan review is required because of the construction of a new building or structure. • • SITE PLAN REVIEW CRITERIA Site plan review criteria upon which the Planning Commission must make an affirmative finding. Describe in detail the project's conformance with the criteria below: A. Is the project compatible with the General Plan, the Zoning Ordinance and surrounding uses? Explain how it compares to the sizes, setbacks and other characteristics of neighboring houses. The project conforms with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. Surrounding houses and garages range in size as follows: 8836 s.f. at #3 Packsaddle Road East 8773 s.f. at #2 Packsaddle Road East 8641 s.f. at Packsaddle Road East (applicant's proposed) 6980 s.f. at Westerly neighbor 5375 s.f. at 19 Southfield Drive The development will maintain large setbacks from surrounding structures, and will maintain the attributes of low-rise residential structures characteristic to the surrounding area. B. How does the project preserve and integrate into the site design, to the maximum extent. feasible, existing natural topographic features of the lot including surrounding native vegetation, mature trees, drainage courses, and land forts (such as hillsides and knolls)? Explain how the project preserves and integrates existing natural features. The existing site design will be preserved to large extent. There will be limited modifications to the existing site.' Areas of modification will occur at the rear of the house, within the front entry courtyard, the building pad itself, and the relocation of the driveway to provide greater landscaped area in front of the house. Six trees will be removed, 42 trees will remain. C. How does the site development plan follow natural contours of the site to minimize grading? Extensive grading and recontouring of existing terrain to maximize buildable area shall not be approved. Graded slopes shall be rounded and contoured so as to blend with existing.terrain. Grading shall not modify existing drainage redirect drainage flow unless into an existing drainage course. Explain the nature and extent of the impact of grading and proposed minimization on lots. The new development utilizes the flat pad area of the existing house, front and rear terraces and driveway in order to minimize grading. A new low stone wall and the swimming pool will contain contour modifications to the immediate area of the new residence. In this manner, existing drainage courses will remain. D. To what extent does the site development plan preserve surrounding native vegetation and supplement it with landscaping that is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community? Landscaping should provide a buffer and transition zone between private and public areas. Explain how the project preserves native vegetation, integrates landscaping and creates buffers. No native vegetation exists in the area of development. As indicated before, 42 of a total of 48 mature trees will remain on the lot. 12 of 13 mature trees will remain at the southerly property line ajoining #3 Packsaddle Road East to maintain the visual screen between the two properties. The existing driveway is being removed and shifted to the south in order toincrease the landscaped area and provide a buffer between the house and Packsaddle Road. The use of the low wall will limit disturbing the site at the westerly border, and maintain the existing landsaping. • • E. How does the site development plan preserve the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage? Lot coverage requirements shall be regarded as maximums and the actual amount of lot coverage permitted should depend upon the existing buildable area of the lot. Explain how the lot coverage proposed compares with lot coverage square footage and percentages on neighboring lots. The site development plan limits development to areas that are currently developed or landscaped with lawn and other non-native plantings. The lot coverage (area of house/garage to gross lot area) of neighbors is as follows: 13.25% at #3 Packsaddle Road East 13.1% at Westerly neighbor 11.9% at Packsaddle Road East (applicant's proposed) 6.1% at #2 Packsaddle Road East 4% at 19 Southfield Drive F. Is the site development plan harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences? Setbacks shall be regarded as minimums and more restrictive setbacks shall be imposed where necessary to assure proportionality and openness. Explain how the proposed project setbacks compare with the existing setbacks of neighboring properties. The proposed development will be harmonious with the surrounding residences and the site. The new residence will be located in the same area as the existing, utilizing the level area created for the existing residence. The proposed development will maintain large setbacks consistent with the existing neighborhood, as per the vicinity plan on sheet C-1. G. Is the site development plan sensitive and not detrimental to convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles? Explain how the number and types of vehicles relate to the driveway location, design, trip data, landscaping and other on -site parking or storage areas. The new driveway will be located away from the intersection of Southfield and Packsaddle Road in order to avoid traffic conflicts. This new location is closer to the driveway entrance at #3 Packsaddle Road East, consolidating driveway entrances and improving the safety and circulation of vehicles. H. Does the site development plan conform with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act? Explain how the project impacts the environment, e.g. significant impact, proposed mitigation measures. The site development plan conforms with the requirements of CEQA. • • I hereby certify that the statements furnished above, and in attached exhibits, presents the data and information required for the site plan review criteria evaluation to the best of my ability; and, that the facts, statements and other information presented are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.
