PROJECT DISCUSSION AND SITE CHARACTERISTICS: The approximately .85-acre project site is
located at 13001 Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road. The nearest cross streets include Blauer Drive 160 feet
north of the project site and Rodeo Creek Hollow 115 feet to the south. Surrounding uses include
two-story single family homes to the north with access from Apollo Way, Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road
to the east which is a four lane road divided by a landscaped median, Oakcreek Court to the south
which is a private driveway providing primary access for three existing single-family homes of
which one is a two-story, and one-story single family homes to the west with access from
Brandywine Drive. Existing on-site is a 4,092 square foot two-story single family home and related
site improvements including a swimming pool, tennis court, bocce court, pool house, and a shed.
The tennis court is surrounded by a ten foot tall chain link fence. The existing house encroaches
into the 25 foot rear setback by approximately four feet. An asphalt driveway located in the
northeastern corner of the site provides vehicular access. An existing seven foot tall concrete wall is
located near the front property line adjacent to Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road and spans along the entire
street frontage. Mature landscaping,including many protected trees, is located on site.
The applicant requests Tentative Parcel Map approval to subdivide the site into two lots. The area of
the tennis court on the south side of the property would be split off from the remainder of the parcel
to create a new 15,717 gross square foot lot. The house and the swimming pool would be on a
separate 21,472 gross square foot lot. The rear setback would not change and the existing house
would continue to have the same nonconforming rear setback. The existing pool house would
straddle the new property line and this building would be required to be demolished or relocated to a
conforming location on Parcel B. All other improvements on Parcel A which include the tennis
court, bocce court, shed, and any related hardscape would be required to be removed prior to final
map approval. No trees are proposed for removal.
Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance Compliance: The City’s Subdivision and Zoning regulations
are the implementation tools of Saratoga’s General Plan and the State Subdivision Map Act. The
Zoning Ordinance establishes minimum standards for lot sizes, depths, widths, and frontages. It
also regulates building placement, modifications to natural topography and ordinance-protected tree
removal. This Tentative Parcel Map complies with all minimum zoning standards with regard to
parcel size, configuration, and setbacks.
City Department/Outside Agency Review: This Tentative Parcel Map was forwarded for review
to the Saratoga Public Works Department, the City Arborist, and the following agencies. No
concerns or objections have been received.
Saratoga Fire District
Cupertino Sanitary District
Pacific Gas and Electric
San Jose Water Company
Saratoga Union School District
Staff received ‘will serve’ letters from the Cupertino Sanitary District, Pacific Gas & Electric, and
the San Jose Water Company. None of these agencies had any objections or concerns with respect
to the proposed subdivision and their comments are included as Attachment #2. No other agency
comments have been received.
7
Page | 4
Trees: The tentative map was reviewed by the City Arborist. The site does have some ordinance
sized trees with the potential of being impacted by the proposed development depending on the
overall design of a future residence on Parcel A. The applicant will be required to submit for
arborist review and clearance as part of a future design review application if it includes removals of
any ordinance sized trees.
Neighbor Notification and Correspondence:The applicant submitted three Neighbor
Notification Forms signed by adjacent property owners. None of the forms included initial
negative comments related to the project. Copies of the neighbor notification forms are included
as Attachment #3.
A Public Notice was also sent 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.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to section 15315 (Minor Land Divisions) because the project is 1) dividing
property in an urbanized area which is zoned for residential use into four or fewer parcels, 2) the
project is in conformance with the General Plan and the Zoning Regulations of the CityCode, 3) no
variances or exceptions are required, 4) all services and access to the proposed parcels to local
standards are available, 5) the parcel was not involved in a division of a larger parcel within the
previous two years, and 6) the parcel does not have an average slope greater than 20 percent.
TENTATIVE MAP APPROVAL FINDINGS
The Planning Commission shall not approve any tentative map if the commission finds the proposal
supports any of the following nine findings (City Code Section 14-20.070(b)). Staff has provided
evidence, which does not support any of the findings.
(1) That the proposed map is not consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific
plans. The proposed map is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plans in
that proposed parcels are consistent with the General Plan designation of Medium Density
Residential (M-12.5) defined as 3.48 dwelling units per net acre. The proposed parcels meet the
minimum lot size required by the city code for the R-1-12,500 zoning district. Proposed lot
dimensions including width, depth and frontage meet or exceed the minimums required by the city
code.
(2) That the design or improvements of the proposed subdivision are not consistent with the
General Plan and any applicable specific plan. The design or improvements of the proposed
subdivision are consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan in that the design
or improvements of the proposed subdivision are consistent with the General Plan. The proposed
parcel sizes, configuration, access and building envelopes are consistent with the zoning regulations
and are compatible with the existing densities in the project vicinity. The proposed building
envelopes are sufficient in size and dimension to accommodate a single-family residence. Building
envelopes provided on the proposed tentative map indicate that required setbacks can be provided to
meet the development regulations.

Page | 5
The two sport courts on Parcel A, which include a tennis and bocce court and miscellaneous hard
surfaces, are to be removed prior to Final Map approval. The two buildings on Parcel A, a shed
located on the north side of the parcel and a shed that would straddle the new property line, shall be
either moved to a conforming site location on Parcel B or demolished prior to Final Map approval.
Design review approval shall be required, as applicable in the city code, for a new single-family
residence on Parcel A. At the time an application to construct a single-family residence is filed with
the planning department the mass, bulk, view, privacy and compatibility issues of the proposed
residence with the existing neighborhood and residences shall be examined.
(3) That the site is not physically suitable for the type of development proposed. The site is
suitable for the type of development proposed in that the proposed building envelopes and
surrounding areas are relatively level with average slopes not exceeding 6.57percent.
The subdivision will not impose features on the proposed parcels regarding size or shape that may
constrain future development on the site. The existing conditions are such that they do not include
physical features including topography, location, or surroundings that may hinder future
development on the site.
(4) That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development. The site is
physically suitable for the proposed density of development in that the subdivision application may
result in the construction of one additional single-family residence. Approximately two dwelling
units are permitted consistent with the general plan maximum dwelling unit per acre designation of
3.48 dwelling units per net acre. The potential for the construction of a single-family home on
Parcel B is consistent with the surrounding uses and densities in the area. Densities in the
immediate surrounding area are predominantly characterized by low-density single-family
residential uses.
(5) That the design of the subdivision is likely to cause substantial environmental damage or
substantially and avoidable injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The design of the
subdivision is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage in that the proposed project
which includes subdivision of one lot into two lots is categorically exempt from the Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to section 15315 of the Guidelines for the Implementation of CEQA.
This Class 15 exemption can be applied to the division of property in urbanized areas zoned for
residential use into four or fewer parcels when the division is in conformance with the General Plan
and zoning regulations of the City Code, no variances or exceptions are required, all services and
access to the proposed parcels to local standards are available, the parcel was not involved in a
division of a larger parcel within the previous 2 years, and the parcel does not have an average slope
of greater than 20 percent.
(6) That the design of the subdivision is likely to cause serious health or safety problems. The
design of the subdivision is not likely to cause serious health or safety problems in that the proposed
project is consistent with the zoning and subdivision regulations in the City Code and General Plan.
The Tentative Map has been reviewed by Cupertino Sanitary District, Saratoga Fire Department,
Pacific Gas & Electric, School Districts, Planning Department and Public Works Engineers. All
structural improvements to the property will be reviewed by the Community Development
9

Department. The project site is located in Zone X on the Flood Insurance Maps by FEMA. This
designation incorporates the vast majority of properties within the City. Floodway areas of Zone
AE are located along the City’s major creeks and require certain construction techniques; however,
the project site is designated as Zone X.
(7) That the design of the subdivision will conflict with easements for access or use. The design
of the subdivision will not conflict with easements for access or use. The primary frontage for
Parcel A is on Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road. The south side of Parcel A will have frontage on
Oakwood Court, which is a private street and four properties, including Parcel A, have
ingress/egress easements for access. The Public Works Department has conditioned that driveway
access to Parcel A be from Oakwood Court to minimize the number of driveways on Saratoga-
Sunnyvale Road.
(8) That a proposed subdivision of land which is subject to a contract executed pursuant to the
Williamson Act. The proposed subdivision of land is not subject to a contract executed pursuant
to the Williamson Act in that the project site is not under a Williamson Act contract.
(9) That the discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into an existing community
sewer system would result in violation of existing requirements. The discharge of waste from
the proposed subdivision into an existing community sewer system would not result in violation of
existing requirements in that the Cupertino Sanitary District operates a sewer line in this area of
Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road. The Cupertino Sanitary District has provided a ‘will serve’ letter – the
existing sewer line will provide adequate service to the parcels.
