Resultant parcels from the subdivision range in size from 1.08 acres to 1.38 acres. On July 13, 2016, the Planning Commission reviewed and approved a Design Review application (Resolution No. 16-019) for a new 5,202 square foot contemporary designed two story residence with a 2,480 square foot basement at 20388 Hill Avenue. This was the first Design Review application proposed for the vacant subdivision. This project which is not yet under construction will be located on the adjacent site to the south of the subject project. Its front elevation is depicted on the Streetscape Exhibit located on Sheet A1a of the Development Plans (Attachment 6). 6 Page 4 of 8 Site Description: The project site is located at 20408 Hill Avenue near its intersection with Montalvo Oaks Place. The average slope of the site is 18 percent with a 62 foot reduction in elevation from Hill Avenue to the rear of the lot. The building will be located in the relatively level front half area of the site with an average grade of less than 5 percent. Surrounding uses include single-family residences from the west to the south and across Hill Avenue to the east. Twenty six trees are located on the project site. These trees include Coast live oaks, Eucalyptus , Monterey pine, Blacks oaks, Pine, and Fig. Project Description and Architectural Style: The project would include the construction of a new two story single-family main residence, detached secondary dwelling unit, and landscape improvements to include a swimming pool and outdoor kitchen. The 5,920 square foot main residence would be 26 feet tall. An attached unenclosed carport on the left side of the residence would provide at-grade parking for two vehicles. The required enclosed parking would be provided in a 1,102 square foot basement level garage accessed by a sloped driveway adjacent to the southern property line. In addition to the garage area, the basement would also include 2,156 square feet of living space. The entire basement totaling 3,258 square feet would be located below grade and is not included in the sites allowable floor area. The basement daylights at the rear of the main dwelling with direct access to the lower level covered terrace and the rear landscaped area. The 560 square feet detached secondary dwelling unit would be located approximately 105 feet behind the main residence near the southeast corner of the site. Gravel pathways leading from the rear patio area would provide primary pedestrian access to the secondary dwelling unit. Main Residence: The applicant has identified the architectural style of the proposed residence as “Tuscan” as the design would contain specific architectural elements illustrative of historic homes found in the rural Italian countryside. These homes would have reflected their surroundings in terms of locally sourced materials, such as stone, slate, and clay and would include minimal superfluous ornamentation and decoration. The proposed materials to support the “Tuscan” style include a smooth trowel stucco and stone exterior finish, a covered rear porch flanked by stone covered columns, both arched and square shaped windows, wrought iron railings, recessed front entry, a lower level loggia (a gallery or corridor at ground level on the facade of a building, supported by columns, and open to the air on one side), exposed rafter tails, and a hipped “barrel tile” roof. The residence would include three gas fireplaces on the first story located in the Library, Living Room, and the Great Room – no wood fireplaces are proposed. Secondary Dwelling Unit: The 560 square foot, one story, 13 feet tall secondary dwelling unit would be located downslope and approximately 105 feet southwest of the main residence. This one bedroom structure with a living room and full kitchen would have the same architectural style and exterior materials of the main residence. 7 Page 5 of 8 The secondary dwelling unit would be deed restricted. The Saratoga City Code allows a one-time ten percent increase in site coverage and allowable floor area if an applicant agrees to a deed restriction that would restrict the rental of a second unit to below market rate (BMR) households. A condition has been added to the project requiring this deed restriction be recorded prior to issuance of a building permit. The provision of the BMR second unit would allow the applicant to construct an additional 592 square feet of floor area on the site above the maximum allowable floor area of 5,922 square feet for a total allowable floor area of 6,514 square feet. The total proposed floor area for the entire site is 6,428 square feet. In addition, the 18,691 square foot (35%) maximum site coverage would also be increased by ten percent for a total allowed site coverage of 20,560 square feet. The total proposed site coverage is 15,099 square feet. Landscaping: The proposed landscape plan (page L-1 of the Project Plans) illustrates that the project would feature drought tolerant trees, shrubs, groundcovers, and grasses. This landscaping would include 53 new trees to include Coast Live oaks, Crape Myrtles, and fruit trees of a not yet determined variety. Shrubs and vines would include Toyon, Rosemary, Jasmine, English Lavender, and Sage. Groundcover and grasses would include Myoporum and Purple Verbena. Areas of artificial turf would be located adjacent to the motor court – the landscape plan does not include any areas of real turf to minimize water use. Hardscapes would include a permeable paver driveway turnaround in the front of the house and a patio at the rear. Located within the rear patio area would be a swimming pool and an outdoor kitchen. Pathways would be composed of California gold fines. A sloped concrete driveway would provide access to the basement garage. Materials and Colors: Detail Colors and Materials Exterior Tan integral colored smooth stucco Eave Trim & Corbels Brown colored stained wood Stone Veneer Natural Stone ‘Copper Ledgestone’ Windows Brown Colored Aluminum Clad Wood Windows Limestone Trim Tan Colored w/ Sandstone Finish Iron Railings Dark Brown Powder Coad Finins. Roof One Piece Clay Tiles – Brown with red undertones Trees: Twenty six trees are located on the project site. These trees include Coast live oaks, Eucalyptus, Monterey pine, Blacks oaks, Pine, and Fig. Eleven trees protected by City Code are requested for removal to construct the project. These include three Coast live oaks, three pines, one fig, and four eucalyptus trees. The City Arborist has determined that the trees to be removed are either dead or would be adversely impacted by the proposed construction and meet the criteria allowing their removal and replacement as listed in the arborist report. All remaining protected trees in the vicinity of the project will be protected during the duration of the project. Details of the arborist findings and descriptions of the trees to be removed are included in the Arborist report which is included as Attachment #2. 8 Page 6 of 8 Residential Calgreen Measures: The project will meet the minimum CalGreen standards for a new home. A copy of the Residential Calgreen Measures Checklist is included as Attachment #6. Neighbor Notification and Correspondence: The applicant made attempts to contact adjacent neighboring property owners but to date has received no written responses or project related comments. A Public Notice was sent by the Community Development Department to property owners within 500 feet of the site. No additional concerns have been brought to the City’s attention as of the writing of this staff report. FINDINGS Design Review Findings - The Planning Commission shall not grant design review approval unless it is able to make the following findings. These findings are in addition to and not a substitute for compliance with all other Zoning Regulations (which constitute the minimum requirements, as provided in City Code Section 15-05.050). 1. Site development follows the natural contours of the site, minimizes grading, and is appropriate given the property’s natural constraints. This finding can be made in the affirmative in that the project minimizes changes to the existing contours of the site. The proposed residence would be located on the front portion of the site in an area with minimal slope. 2. All protected trees shall be preserved, as provided in Article 15 -50 (Tree Regulations). If constraints exist on the property, the number of protected trees, heritage trees, and native trees approved for removal shall be reduced to an absolute minimum. Removal of any smaller oak trees deemed to be in good health by the City Arborist shall be minimized using the criteria set forth in Section 15-50.080. This finding can be made in the affirmative in that the project has been designed to reduce impacts to a minimum number of protected trees. Eleven trees protected by City Code are requested for removal to construct the project. These include three Coast live oaks, three pines, one fig, and four eucalyptus trees. The City Arborist has determined that the trees to be removed are either dead or in poor condition, or would be adversely impacted by the proposed construction. The City Arborist has determined that all the trees proposed for removal meet the criteria allowing removal and replacement as listed in the arborist report. The remaining protected trees in the vicinity of the project will be preserved and protected during the duration of the project. 3. The height of the structure, its location on the site, and its architectural elements are designed to avoid unreasonable impacts to the privacy of adjoining properties and to community viewsheds. This finding can be made in the affirmative in that the 1.2 acre size of the parcel, the building setbacks from property lines, and existing and proposed vegetation and trees would screen views of both the proposed main residence and secondary unit from surrounding properties. Because of the building setbacks and the existing vegetation and proposed landscaping would screen the project from the residences on the adjacent sites, there would be no unreasonable impact to the privacy of adjoining properties and to community viewsheds. 9 Page 7 of 8 4. The overall mass and the height of the structure, and its architectural elements are in scale with the structure itself and with the neighborhood. This finding can be made in the affirmative in that the overall design, height, materials, and location of building features for both the main residence and the secondary unit will avoid the perception of excessive bulk and the Tucson architectural theme of the project and the use of architecturally true elements for the proposed architectural style helps unify the building façades. The facades of the buildings are well articulated with jogs in the building lines with varying height of roof elements, architectural projections, and rooflines. The elevations are softened by the use of varying materials to include earth toned smooth finished stucco, natural colored stone, and concrete. The views from homes on adjacent sites are screened by existing and proposed landscaping. 5. The landscape design minimizes hardscape in the front setback area and contains elements that are complementary to the neighborhood streetscape. This finding can be made in the affirmative in that proposed landscape plan illustrates that the project will feature drought tolerant trees, shrubs, groundcovers, and grasses. This landscaping would include 53 new trees that include Coast Live oaks, Crape Myrtles, and fruit trees of a not yet determined variety. Shrubs and vines would include Toyon, Rosemary, Jasmine, English Lavender, and Sage. Groundcover and grasses would include Myoporum and Purple Verbena. Areas of artificial turf would be located adjacent to the motor court – the landscape plan does not include any areas of real turf to minimize water use. The large variety of species of ground covers, shrubs and trees within the front setback area that will enhance the current streetscape which is composed of vacant parcels. 6. Development of the site does not unreasonably impair the ability of adjoining properties to utilize solar energy. This finding can be made in the affirmative in that the proposed structures have ample setbacks from buildings on adjacent sites so there would be no shadowing that could impair the ability of adjoining properties to utilize solar energy. The design of the structure would not unreasonably impair opportunities for the utilization of solar energy. 7. The design of the structure and the site development plan is consistent with the Residential Design Handbook, pursuant to Section 15-45.055. This finding may be made in the affirmative in that the proposed project conforms to the applicable design policies and techniques in the Residential Design Handbook in terms of compatible bulk, and avoiding unreasonable interference with privacy and views as detailed in the findings above. 8. On hillside lots, the location and the design of the structure avoid unreasonable impacts to ridgelines, significant hillside features, community viewsheds, and is in compliance with Section 15-13.100. This finding can be made in the affirmative in that the project is not located on a ridgeline, there are no significant hillside features on the site to be impacted, and the project is screened from offsite views by existing and proposed vegetation. The overall size of the parcel and the proposed building setbacks would not unreasonably impact community viewsheds. The project is in compliance with City Code Section 15-13.100 (Height of Structures). Environmental Determination: The project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to 14 C.C.R. Section 15303, Class 3 “New 10 Page 8 of 8 Construction or Conversion of Small Structures”, of the Public Resources Code (CEQA). This exemption allows for the construction of up to three single-family residences and no exception to that exemption applies.

Kwon, Senior Planner 20375 Saratoga-Los Gatos Road 61 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ZONING Single-Family Residential (R1-10,000) GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION Residential Low Density (RLD) PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant is requesting approval of a fence exception with the following three elements: 1) a fence that would be 6 feet high in the front yard setback, where 3 feet is allowed, 2) a 10-foot wide entry element where a 5-foot width is allowed (The front pedestrian gate would 6 feet high and the columns adjacent to the gate would be 6 feet 6 inches), and 3) portions of the fence be located 2 feet from the front property line where 15 feet is the minimum required adjacent to a scenic corridor. Three palm trees located in front the fence are also proposed for removal. SITE AND PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE The proposed fence would be located in front of the Woodleigh House. This Greek Revival house was built in 1911 and is eligible for the California Register of Historical Resources. It is not currently on the California Register of Historic Resources. The Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) reviewed the proposed fence on February 9, 2016. The HPC recommended approval of the fence design with conditions of approval (As noted in Attachment 1). STATE SCENIC HIGHWAY Highway 9 is the only Officially Designated State Scenic Highway in Santa Clara County. “When a city or county nominates an eligible scenic highway for official designation, it must identify and define the scenic corridor of the highway. Scenic corridors consist of land that is visible from the highway right of way, and is comprised primarily of scenic and natural features. Topography, vegetation, viewing distance, and/or jurisdictional lines determine the corridor boundaries. The city or county must also adopt ordinances, zoning and/or planning policies to preserve the scenic quality of the corridor or document such regulations that already exist in various portions of local codes. They should be written in sufficient detail to avoid broad discretionary interpretation and demonstrate a concise strategy to effectively maintain the scenic character of the corridor. These ordinances and/or policies make up the Corridor Protection Program.”1 As the fence is located adjacent to a scenic corridor, special standards also apply. Consideration of these standards and an exception request regarding the state scenic highway setback is discussed in the next section of this report. 1 http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/LandArch/16_livability/scenic_highways/faq.htm 62 3 | P a g e MATERIALS AND COLORS PROPOSED The proposed fence would be a six foot tall brick and iron fence along front property line facing Saratoga –Los Gatos Road. The entry gate would be painted white. NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY Many properties along Saratoga-Los Gatos Road have heavy vegetation along the road. Some of these properties have fences on the property line but are screened by thick vegetation. ARBORIST REVIEW Three trees are proposed for removal. The City’s Arborist has approved this application with conditions. NEIGHBORHOOD NOTIFICATION The public hearing notice was mailed to property owners within 500 feet of the subject property. No comments have been received. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Adopt Resolution No. 17-002 approving the project, subject to conditions of approval. Staff believes that the main entry area could be pushed back past the 15 foot setback line. This would also be in line with the other portion of the fence that is setback beyond 15 feet and reduce the amount fence area subject to the scenic corridor exception. Please see condition # 9. FENCE STANDARDS AND EXCEPTION REQUESTS As noted in Section 15-29-.090, the owner(s) of a proposed fence, including any gates or pilasters may request that the Planning Commission grant an exception to the regulations regarding fences if the Planning Commission can make all fence exception findings. As the fence is located along a scenic corridor, additional standards apply. The applicable fence standards are provided below: EXCEPTION 1 - FENCE HEIGHT Under Section 15-29.010(b), fences in the front yard setback shall be limited to 3 feet in height. The proposed design would be a 6 foot high fence in the front yard setback. The Commission may wish to evaluate this standard in Fence Exception Findings #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5. EXCEPTION 2 - PEDESTRIAN ENTRY ELEMENT WIDTH Under Section 15-29.010(d)(3), pedestrian entry elements shall be 5 feet wide when having a height up to 8 feet high. The proposed pedestrian entry element would be 10 feet wide. The Commission may wish to evaluate this standard in Fence Exception Findings #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5. EXCEPTION 3 - SCENIC CORRIDOR FRONT SETBACK Under Section 15-29.050(b), special standards that may be evaluated by the Planning Commission. 63 4 | P a g e  (a) Fence permit is required when located within one hundred feet from the right-of- way of a State-designated scenic highway. Granting of a fence exception by the Planning Commission would fulfill this requirement.  (b) Setback of fifteen feet is required from the property line abutting the right-of-way of a scenic highway. The minimum setback may be increased to a maximum of one hundred feet if necessary to preserve the scenic qualities of the highway. This application includes an exception to this standard to allow the fence to be two feet from the front property line at the closest point. There are portions of the fence located more the 2 feet from the front property line. Some portions of the fence would be located more than 15 from the front property line. The Commission is being asked to evaluate this standard in Fence Exception Findings #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5.  (c) Color, material and design of fences adjacent to scenic highways may be constructed of wood, stone, stucco, masonry, wrought iron or similar material, but no chain link, plastic or wire fencing shall be permitted. The design, color and materials of the fence or wall shall be subject to approval based upon a finding that the fence or wall will not adversely affect the scenic qualities of the highway and will be compatible with the natural terrain. The proposed fence would be made of brick and wrought iron. The Commission is being asked to evaluate if the color, material and design is appropriate in Fence Exception Finding #2.  (d) Landscape screening shall be permanently maintained parallel to and along the entire length of the exterior side of the fence facing the scenic highway. Suc h landscape plan shall provide for the planting of trees and vegetation that are native to the area, fast growing, and require little or no maintenance. The plan shall not be approved unless the proposed landscaping will effectively screen the fence from p ublic view and enhance the visual appearance of the scenic highway. Prior to issuance of the fence permit, a landscape maintenance agreement shall be executed by the applicant and recorded in the office of the County Recorder, which agreement shall constitute a covenant running with the land. Crape Mrytle trees and other bushes are proposed in front of the fence. The Commission is being asked to evaluate the adequacy of landscape screening in Fence Exception Finding #3.  (e) Height of any fence adjacent to a scenic highway shall comply with the regulations set forth in Section 15-29.010 The Commission is being asked evaluate the height of the fence in Fence Exception Findings #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5. 64 5 | P a g e FENCE EXCEPTION FINDINGS The findings required for issuance of a Fence Exception pursuant to City Code Section 15-29.090(a) are set forth below and the Applicant has met the burden of proof to support making all of those required findings: Finding #1: The subject fence will be compatible with other similar structures in the neighborhood. This finding can be made because the design of the proposed fence is similar to other fences in the area. The height of the proposed fence and entryway is in scale with other fences and front yard landscaping in the area. Finding #2: The entirety of the subject fence will be constructed of materials that are of high quality, exhibit superior craftsmanship, and that are durable. This finding can be made because the fence would be constructed of brick, iron, and precast concrete caps. All of the materials would be durable and be of high quality and would be able to weather the outdoor environment. The color, materials and design is appropriate for the site. Finding #3: The modification will not impair the integrity and character of the neighborhood in which the fence is located. This finding can be made because the Heritage Preservation Commission recommended approval of the design of the fence (with conditions). Most of the fence would be open and would allow views of the historic property. The proposed fence will also be appropriately screened from the street like many of the other fences in the area. Finding #4: The granting of the exception will not be detrimental or injurious to the property, adjacent neighbors, or improvements in the general vicinity and district in which the property is located. This finding can be made as conditioned because the proposed fence would improve the safety conditions for the property. The portion of the fence adjacent to the private drive would be approximately 16 feet from the front property line and approximately 45 feet from the edge of pavement. As property is located along an Official State Designated Scenic Highway, staff recommends that the main gate be located 16 feet back from the front property line to match the portion of the fence adjacent to the private drive and to reduce the overall encroachment into the 15 foot setback for fences adjacent to scenic highways (as per condition # 9). This reduced encroachment would reduce potential visual impacts to the scenic highway. Finding #5: The granting of the exception will not create a safety hazard for vehicular, pedestrian or bicycle traffic and does not obstruct the safe access to and from adjacent properties. This finding can be made because the proposed fence would provide the required sight distances for the intersection. The proposed fence would not interfere with visibility for pedestrian, bicyclist and vehicular traffic within the area and would in fact improve the safety along Saratoga-Los Gatos Road by providing a barrier between the road and the property. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION The proposed Fence Exception Request is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines (14 C.C.R. Section 15303) 65 6 | P a g e “New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures. This exemption allows for the construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures and no exception to that exemption applies. ATTACHMENTS 1. Resolution of Approval 2.
