SITE CHARACTERISTICS AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Site Description
The subject property is located on the northern side of Bella Vista Avenue, a private road, and is
currently developed with a single-story residence and three-car garage. The surrounding uses consist
of single family residences to the east, west, north, and south. Nineteen protected trees were
inventoried by the project arborist consisting of fifteen Coast Live Oaks, two Valley Oaks, one Big
Leaf Maple, and one Linden. There are several ornamental plantings around the site not large enough
to qualify for protection, including Japanese Maples and Dogwoods. Four protected Coast Live Oaks
are proposed for removal.
Project Description
Architecture/Design
The proposed project would include the construction of a 6,792 square foot single-story home with
a basement and a 916 sq. ft. attached accessory dwelling unit. The contemporary style home has
been designed to generally fit the site in the same location as the existing home and site improvements.
The 2,850 square foot basement level consists of one bedroom, a game room/lounge, exercise room,
wine storage, theater, and mechanical room. The main level is 6,792 square feet and has a foyer,
office, great room, laundry/mud room, family room, kitchen, four bedrooms, three-car garage, and a
one-bedroom deed-restricted accessory dwelling unit.
The design includes a stucco exterior with stone veneer, metal panels with the appearance of wood
siding and standing seam metal roof. The roof form is a combination of hipped and flat roofs. The
proposed exterior colors are neutral tones including light and medium greys, tan, and dark wood. The
variety of exterior materials, varying roof heights and the wide building footprint provide architectural
articulation to break up the mass of the home and improve its compatibility with structures on adjacent
sites.
The applicant has provided a color and materials board, which will be available for review at the
site visit and during the public hearing. Below is a list of the proposed exterior materials.
Detail Colors and Materials
Exterior Smooth Texture Stucco (light and medium grey color)
Stone Veneer (natural/light tan color)
Simulated Wood Siding (dark brown color)
Windows Aluminum Clad Wood (dark gray/black color)
Doors Aluminum Clad Wood (dark gray/black color)
Roof Standing Seam Metal (slate color)
Lighting
All proposed exterior light fixtures are designed to limit illumination to the site and avoid creating
glare impacts to surrounding properties.

Landscaping
New landscaping includes four (4) 36-inch box Strawberry Trees, three (3) 24-inch box Strawberry
Trees, three (3) 36-inch box Valley Oaks, and one (1) 36-inch box Coast Live Oak located along the
interior side setback of the new residence to mitigate the view of the new home and the outdoor patio
area and swimming pool from off site. Three (3) 48-inch box Coral Bark Maple trees and one (1) 36-
inch box Coast Live Oak are proposed along the exterior side yard and around the entry of the home
to mitigate the view of the new home from Bella Vista Avenue. Tall screening shrubs of various
species and varied ground cover are also proposed around the entire perimeter of the home. In
addition, the existing tall screening shrubs along the front and rear setback areas are proposed to
remain, as well as fifteen (15) protected trees located throughout the site. Condition of approval #12
requires that the applicant shall demonstrate compliance with the State Water Efficient Landscape
Ordinance when the application is submitted to the Building Department.
Trees
Four (4) Coast Live Oaks with trunk diameters of 11 inches, 27.5 inches, 40 inches and 46 inches,
meeting the City Code thresholds for protection, are proposed for removal. The City Arborist has
been able to make the findings and recommend approval for the removal of the requested trees. All
protected trees to remain in the vicinity of the project will be protected prior to building permit
issuance and throughout the duration of the project. The applicant is required to place a tree security
deposit of $108,240 and install tree protection fencing prior to the issuance of building permits.
Details of the arborist report findings and descriptions of the trees to be preserved are included in the
Arborist Report (Attachment #2).
Geotechnical Review
This project is not located in a geo hazard zone therefore Geotechnical review was not required.
Fence Exception
Per City Code, all fences constructed within front setback areas are limited to a height of three feet.
The applicant states in their written project description (Attachment #3) that site is currently
developed with a 5-foot-tall chain link fence located fifteen feet from the front property line and
that the front setback area has been used as a “backyard” area for the existing residence. The
applicant is proposing to replace the 5-foot-tall chain link fence with a 6-foot-tall wrought iron
fence in the same location. The applicant also states that the existing foliage in the area around the
proposed fence would remain as is.
Staff in unable to make all the required findings as listed in the following paragraphs to grant the
fence exception. The existing nonconforming fence is located between thick foliage, which
provides privacy and screening for the property. Building a new 3’ tall compliant fence while
maintaining the existing foliage in the front setback area would achieve the same objective for
privacy and screening for the new residence. In addition, the existing foliage extends beyond the
required 25-foot front setback for a new fence, resulting in no loss of usable yard area if the new
fence were located at the required 25-foot front setback.

FINDINGS
Design Review
The findings required for issuance of a Design Review Approval pursuant to City Code Section
Article 15-45.080 are set forth below and the Applicant has met the burden of proof to support making
all of those required findings:
a. 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 grading will be limited to the excavation
for the basement and pool.
b. 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 City Arborist has reviewed and recommends
approval for the proposed removal of four (4) protected tree.
c. 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 greater setbacks than the minimum required
by the zoning district are proposed and the single-story residence fits with the context of other
large single-story and two-story residences within its vicinity. No community viewsheds are
located in the vicinity of the project.
d. The overall mass and 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 project will be compatible in terms of
mass and height with existing one-story and two-story residential structures on adjacent lots
and those within the immediate neighborhood and within the same zoning district.
e. 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 the hardscape proposed is minimal
(driveway located outside of front setback area). The landscape plan indicates that at least
50% of the front and exterior setback area will be landscaped.

f. 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 because the house is located approximately at the
center of the site and the front, side, and rear setbacks exceed the minimum requirements
which when taken together would minimize shadows being cast on adjacent properties which
could limit or reduce their solar energy opportunities.
g. 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 can be made in the affirmative because the proposed project incorporates
applicable design policies and techniques from the Residential Design Handbook. The overall
mass and height of the structure are in scale with the neighborhood; the structure is set back
in proportion to the size and shape of the lot; site development follows contours and is
appropriate given the property’s natural constraints. In addition, the proposed materials,
colors, and details enhance the architecture in a well-composed, understated manner.
h. 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 is not applicable as the project is not on a hillside lot. The project is not located
on a ridgeline, and will not affect any significant hillside features or community viewsheds.
Fence Exception
The findings required for issuance of a Fence Exception pursuant to City Code Section 15-29.090 are
set forth below. The applicant has not met the burden of proof to support all of the required findings
as follows:
Finding #1: The subject fence will be compatible with other similar structures in the
neighborhood.
This finding cannot be made in the affirmative. The proposed wrought iron fence would
not be compatible with other similar structures in the neighborhood in that there are no
other fences in the adjacent area which are similar in height and appearance or location and
placement. The predominant neighborhood pattern in the neighborhood are sites without
tall front yard fences. This finding cannot be made in the affirmative in that a six -foot-tall
wrought iron fence, setback fifteen feet from the front property line, would not be
compatible with other fences in the neighborhood. The applicant did include photographs
of fences of properties located on Bella Vista Avenue in the request letter (Attachment #3).
Staff reviewed city records for each of the photographed locations and was unable to
determine if any of these fences were installed with a fence exception permit.

October 24, 2018
Page | 7
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 in the affirmative. The proposed six-foot-tall fence would be
constructed of wrought iron which is considered a durable and high quality fence material,
requiring minimal maintenance.
Finding #3: The modification will not impair the integrity and character of the
neighborhood in which the fence is located.
This finding cannot be made in the affirmative. The neighborhood of which the proposed
fence would be located is Bella Vista Avenue. The existing character of the neighborhood
is primarily rural with single family homes on large lots with no tall fences within the front
setback area. Construction of the proposed fence within the front setback area would alter
the existing aesthetic of the neighborhood. In addition, if the proposed fence were to be
constructed it could create a neighborhood precedence for taller front yard fences which
could further reduce the neighborhoods existing rural character.
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 in the affirmative. The proposed fence would be located fifteen
feet behind the front property line and setback approximately seventeen feet from the street.
The site is considered a corner lot and the fence would be located outside of the required
50 foot by 50 foot site triangle at the street corner. Therefore, proposed location of the
fence would not block views from adjacent sites or reduce site distances from the street or
driveways.
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 in the affirmative. As previously stated, the proposed fence
would provide the required sight distances for the street corner. The proposed fence would
not interfere with visibility for pedestrian, bicyclist and vehicular traffic within the area.
Neighbor Notification and Correspondence
A public notice was sent to property owners within 500 feet of the site. In addition, the public hearing
notice and description of the project was published in the Saratoga News. The applicant submitted
four completed neighborhood notification forms. On October 7, 2018, staff received an email from a
resident expressing concerns with drainage from the site, impacts on neighboring trees, and design
compatibility with the neighborhood. On October 16, 2018, staff received a letter from a resident
expressing concerns with tree protection and construction traffic on Bella Vista. The neighbor
comments are included in Attachment #4.

Conditions of Approval attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
Section 6: After careful consideration of the architectural drawings and other exhibits and
evidence submitted in connection with this matter, the findings for denial of a Fence Exception
application set forth below are hereby made, Application No. FER18-0003 for Fence Exception
approval was voted on and is hereby denied by the Planning Commission.
Section 7: The Planning Commission finds that the proposed fence is inconsistent with the
Fence Exception findings in that 1) the proposed fence is not compatible with other similar
structures in the neighborhood, and 2) the fence would negatively impair the integrity and character
of the neighborhood.
Section 8: Per City Code Section 15-29.010(1), fences are to comply with the fence
regulations unless the Planning Commission grants a fence exception from the fence regulations
pursuant to City Code Section 15-29.090. The Planning Commission did not make the findings to
approve the fence exception for additional fence height and Application No. FER18-0003 is hereby
denied.
Section 9: Unless appealed pursuant to the requirements of Article 15-90 of the Saratoga
City Code, this Resolution shall become effective fifteen (15) days from the date of its adoption.

Subject: New Construction at 19931 Bella Vista Avenue, Saratoga, CA
Dear Sir/Madam,
We are writing to express concern on the planned construction at 19931 Bella Vista Avenue,
Saratoga, CA.
We asked that the city planning division look at the potential of
1. Water run-off, its effect on the creek, and potential flooding in the area
2.Uprooting of trees and foliage and its effect on the environment
3. The design of the building and its blending into the neighborhood and community.
We appreciate your looking into this matter and your service to our community.
Thank you.

SITE CHARACTERISTICS AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The 2,527 square feet project site is located at 20640 Third Street. Surrounding land uses include
the Inn at Saratoga, the Sam Cloud Barn Office Building, Parking District #3, Bella Saratoga
Restaurant, and Parking District #1. Wildwood Park is located to the west.
The Sam Cloud Barn and the project site share a common property line. The exterior stairs and
air-conditioning condensers on the south elevation of the Sam Cloud Barn encroach onto the site.
Because the building would span across the property line, the project includes a condition of approval
that both parcels be merged prior to application for a building permit.
Numerous shrubs and trees are located on site including London plane, loquat, and walnut.
Project History
On September 26, 2007, the Planning Commission approved a project for a previous owner which
included a slope variance. Like the proposed project, it included three stories with a basement
parking area. The design was consistent with the architectural style of the Sam Cloud Barn with
similar horizontal wood siding and roof forms. The building height was 30 feet with a total square
footage of 3,798 square feet with 1,142 square feet of basement area. The property owner did not
apply for a building permit and the design review approval has since expired.
Study Session
The Planning Commission reviewed the current project during a study session on September 13,
2016. The design and materials of the plans that were reviewed are similar with respect to the
current design. The Commission was generally supportive of both the design and the request for
a variance for slope and provided the following project related comments:
Good design, visionary, and innovative;
Supports the variance for slope;
Design blends with surrounding older buildings;
Good connectivity with the Sam Cloud Barn;
Relocate existing garbage containers in upper parking lot.
Heritage Preservation Commission
The Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) conducted a site visit and reviewed the project at
their meeting of August 28, 2018. The HPC made the following project recommendations for
review by the Planning Commission.
The siding on the Sam Cloud barn should not be touched.
Prefer to see more of the barn and suggested that the proposed building should be moved or
redesigned to expose more view of the three vertical barn windows from 4th Street.

On the rear (northwest) elevation of the building, the roof above the garage should not be flat.
A gable roof is recommended at the center.
The roof over the elevator shaft should be pitched to be consistent with the surrounding roof
lines and a height variance, if needed, should be approved to allow the height increase.
Enlarge the windows as much as possible to be consistent with the size and design of the barn
windows along the front (southeast) elevation.
Require a minimum of two (2) large/mature trees along with shrubs or planter boxes to soften
the building, along the front of the building. City Arborist should make the determination on
species that are appropriate for the location.
Reduce the amount of glazing and increase the amount of siding along the rear (northwest)
elevation.
Like the proposed two-toned paint colors.
Minutes from the August 28, 2018 HPC meeting are included in Attachment #2. In response to
recommendations of the HPC, the architect enlarged the width of the roof parapet over the top sliding
door balcony on the northwest elevation by two feet and added corbels underneath the parapet.
Cornices above the upper window at the intersection of the glass balcony were removed. The
windows on the southeast elevation facing the upper parking lot were modified to be the same
dimensions as the same elevation of the Sam Cloud Barn. The flat roof atop the elevator tower was
changed to a pitched roof. An additional tree and shrubs were added to the proposed landscape area
in the upper parking lot and the benches proposed for this area were removed.
Architecture/Design
The project would have a contemporary style and has been designed to fit the constraints of the site
such as size and slope while maintaining architectural consistency with the adjacent Sam Cloud Barn.
The Sam Cloud Barn currently has exterior stairs on the west elevation which encroach onto the
project site. The new project would be located approximately five feet from the Sam Cloud Barn. The
existing stairs would be removed. The proposed project will include interior stairs providing access
to all levels including the basement garage and the roof. Landings would connect the floors of each
building with both buildings having access to the stairs. Additional building access would be provided
by an elevator. The Sam Cloud Barn currently does not have an elevator and the new elevator would
provide ADA access to all floor for both buildings.
An existing property line separates the Sam Cloud Barn and the subject site. Because the building
would span across the property line, the project includes a condition of approval that both parcels be
merged prior to application for a building permit.
The project would have horizontal wood siding with a board width consistent with the wood siding
on the Sam Cloud Barn. Additional unifying design elements would be rectangular shaped windows
and standing seam metal roofing. The first-floor office space as well as the residential units on the
second and third floors would have balconies facing Wildwood Park. The balconies would have steel
guardrails and glass panels. The elevator tower would extend above the roof by approximately 12
feet. The roof of the elevator tower has been designed to have a similar pitch as the San Cloud Barn.

The applicant has provided a color and materials board, which will be available for review at the
site visit and during the public hearing. Below is a list of the proposed exterior materials.

Concrete (natural)
Windows Aluminum Clad Wood Framed (white)
French Doors Aluminum Clad Wood Framed (grey)
Roof Corrugated (dark grey)
Parking
The project would include on-site vehicle parking for eight vehicles within a basement level
garage. Six parking spaces would be provided by three mechanized auto lifts. Also provided would
be one guest and one tandem space for a total parking capacity of eight vehicles.
Access to the garage would be from a city owned parking lot accessed from Fourth Street. This
parking lot also provides vehicle parking for the Saratoga Inn and Wildwood Park.
Even though the project includes on-site parking as mentioned above, because the project is located
within a City Parking District (Parking District #3), the project is not required to provide onsite
parking as the Village Parking Ordinance exempts new projects from providing onsite parking. This
ordinance identified a parking surplus to accommodate 41,850gross square feet of new development
or a change in use. As of the preparation of this staff report, there was 18,973 square feet of additional
floor area surplus remaining. The projects proposed floor area of 5,678 square feet would reduce the
surplus to 13,294 square feet.
As depicted on the Site Plan, a portion of the lower parking lot (Parking District #1) adjacent to the
building would have asphalt removed and the area regraded following removal of the existing
retaining wall at the lower portion of the site. The removal of the wall would provide sufficient
additional space in the parking lot for the construction of two additional parking spaces. These new
spaces are enumerated on the site plan as #1 and #19. The City Arborist has approved the removal of
a 12” Chinese Tallow tree located in a parking lot planter to construct one of the new parking spaces.
An existing courtyard of Parking District #3 is located adjacent to the site and shares the southern
property line. This area contains five existing parking spaces and two trash enclosures used by existing
businesses including the Sam Cloud Barn. The project would include modifications to this parking
area which would include replacing the existing asphalt with permeable pavers. The existing
unenclosed trash containers would be removed and replaced with one trash container within an
enclosure. Two parking spaces would be relocated and restriped to include one accessible parking
space near the entrance to the building and one compact space. A landscaped area at the front of the
accessible parking space would contain two new trees and shrubs.
Saratoga Village Design Guidelines
The project is consistent with the goals and policies of the Saratoga Village Design Guidelines which
include new construction that is compatible with adjacent buildings, to develop all parking facilities 68

at the rear of buildings to minimize visual exposure from Big Basing Way, and to preserve the existing
buildings of historical significance.
Geotechnical Clearance
Redwood Geotechnical Associates prepared a Geologic Feasibility Investigation which was
reviewed and approved by the City’s Geotechnical Consultant (Attachment #3). The report states
that the proposed construction is potentially constrained by existing fill materials, uncemented
alluvial deposits, potential temporary cut slope instability, and strong seismic ground shaking. The
City’s Geotechnical Consultant concluded that a structure can be built on the site with a permanent
shoring wall to be designed with drilled tieback anchors.
Trees
Three trees protected by City Code have been approved by the City Arborist for removal. These
include a 12” Chinese Tallow, a 26” Tree of Heaven, and a 14” Walnut. All three trees conflict
with the location of the building. Replacement tree are required. Details of the arborist’s findings
and descriptions of the trees to be preserved are included in the Arborist Report (Attachment #4).
Site Coverage Variance
The maximum net site area in the CH-1 zoning district which can be covered by structures is 80%.
The site coverage of both the Sam Cloud Barn and the proposed building would be 91% when the
two site sites are combined. The City Code does allow for buildings to exceed 80% site coverage
if an equivalent area on the site is devoted to pedestrian open space such as walkways or plazas.
The project does not provide the 504 square feet (11%) of pedestrian open space to offset the
increase in building coverage. The project includes a request for a Variance for the project to
exceed building site coverage. The applicants written variance request is included as Attachment
#5. The Applicant has not met the burden of proof required to support the application for additional
site coverage as set forth below:
a. That because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape,
topography, location or surroundings, strict enforcement of the specified regulation
would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the
vicinity and classified in the same zoning district.This finding cannot be made in the
affirmative in that there are no special circumstances applicable to the site as specified above
which would prevent the project applicant from reducing the square footage of the proposed
building to conform to the maximum 80% building site coverage.
b. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the vicinity and classified in the
same zoning district.This finding cannot be made in the affirmative in that granting the
variance for additional building site coverage could be seen as a grant of special privilege as
other projects in the Village, such as the recently approved mixed-use development at 14521
Big Basin Way (formerly the Blue Rock Shoot), were limited to a building site coverage of
80%

c. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or
welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.This finding
can be made in the affirmative in that the project will be required to obtain a building permit
and be inspected by the building department during construction to ensure that its construction
would not be detrimental or injurious to the property or adjacent neighbors
Slope Variance
The average natural grade of the footprint underneath any structure in commercial zoning districts is
limited to 30%. The average slope of the subject vacant site is 47.89%. The project includes a request
for a Variance for the project to be located on a site with an existing slope exceeding 30%. The
applicant has met the burden pf proof required to support the application for a slope variance as set
forth below:
a. That because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape,
topography, location or surroundings, strict enforcement of the specified regulation
would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the
vicinity and classified in the same zoning district.This finding can be made in the
affirmative in that due to the steep topography of the site, construction of any structure would
not be possible without granting a variance and the property is a legal lot or record. Staff has
determined that the structure is consistent with all the Design Review findings and that denying
the project due to slope would be an undue hardship and deprive the applicant development
privileges enjoyed by other property owners and businesses in the vicinity which do not have
the same slope constraints.
b. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the vicinity and classified in the
same zoning district.This finding can be made in the affirmative in that granting a variance
for slope would not be a grant of special privilege in that many of the buildings in this part of
the Village would have been developed on sites with a similar slope at a time that predates City
Zoning regulations
c. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or
welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.This finding
can be made in the affirmative in that all construction will be required to meet the Building
Code and the project has received geotechnical clearance to proceed from the City Geologist.
Conditional Use Permit
Mixed-use projects such as the proposed application is listed as a conditional use in the CH zoning
district subject to the granting of a use permit. The findings required for issuance of a Conditional
Use Permit Approval pursuant to City Code Section 15-55.070 are set forth below and the Applicant
has met the burden of proof to support making all of those required findings:
a. That the proposed location of the conditional use is in accord with the objectives of the
Zoning Ordinance and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. This finding
can be made in the affirmative in that because the proposed uses of office and residential are both
already existing within the Commercial-Historic (CH-1) zoning district. 70

b. That the proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which it would
be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or
materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. This finding can be made
in the affirmative in that because the project has been reviewed and conditioned by the required
agencies. The proposed development would not be detrimental to public safety, as it will comply
with all applicable local and state regulations.
c. That the proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of this
Chapter. This finding can be made in the affirmative in that because appropriate conditions have
been placed on the proposed conditional use permit to ensure compliance to City Code
requirements. Any intensification of the proposed conditional use would require an amended
Conditional Use Permit application.
d. That the proposed conditional use will not adversely affect existing or anticipated uses in
the immediate neighborhood, and will not adversely affect surrounding properties or the
occupants
thereof. This finding can be made in the affirmative in thatbecause the project has been analyzed
for adverse effects and it has been determined that the project can provide sufficient off-street
parking and will not result in unreasonable parking impacts, or any additional adverse effects on
an existing or anticipated use
Design Review
The findings required for issuance of a Design Review Approval pursuant to City Code Section
Article 15-46.0480 are set forth below and the Applicant has met the burden of proof to support
making all of those required findings:
a. Where more than one building or structure will be constructed, the architectural features
and landscaping thereof shall be harmonious. Such features include height, elevations,
roofs, material, color, and appurtenances.The project meets this finding in that although only
one building is being constructed, the project includes a condition of approval that the adjacent
parcel that contains the Sam Cloud is to be merged with the subject parcel. The result of this
merger is that two buildings will be located on one site. Harmonious architectural features of the
two building include horizontal wood lap siding and rectangular shaped widows. The Sam Cloud
Barn has a gable roof and the proposed building has a predominantly flat roof except for the gable
roof over the elevator which helps to link the buildings architecturally.
b. Where more than one sign will be erected or displayed on the site, the signs shall have a
common or compatible design and locational positions and shall be harmonious in
appearance. The project meets this finding that no new signage is proposed.
c. Landscaping shall integrate and accommodate existing trees and vegetation to be
preserved; it shall make use of water-conserving plant, materials and irrigation systems to
the maximum extent feasible, it shall be clustered in natural appearing groups, as opposed
to being placed in rows or regularly spaced. The project meets this finding in that no
landscaping is required and none is proposed except for a relatively small area of native grasses 71

in the southern corner of the site adjacent to a light well. Three protected trees are located on site
and the City Arborist has made the findings for their removal.
d.Colors of wall and roofing materials shall blend with the natural landscape and be
nonreflective. The project meets this finding in that the proposed colors and materials such as
grey colored corrugated metal roofing, tan colored horizontal wood siding, and poured in place
natural colored concrete will blend and accent the existing natural landscaping on adjacent parcels
and Wildwood Park which is located on the opposite side of Parking District #1.
e.Roofing materials shall be wood shingles, wood shakes, tile, or other materials such as
composition as approved by the Planning Commission. No mechanical equipment shall be
located upon a roof unless it is appropriately screened. The project meets this finding in that
the project will feature a metal roof like the roof on the adjacent Sam Cloud Barn. No mechanical
equipment is proposed on the roof that would require screening.
f.The proposed development shall be compatible in terms of height, bulk and design with
other structures in the immediate area. The project meets this finding in that the project will
be compatible with other developments in the Village. The area is mostly comprised of two and
three-story structures of approximate the same height and bulk. The adjacent Sam Cloud Building
is 40 feet in height and the Inn at Saratoga is 37 feet in height. Both building are three stories.
The proposed building will be consistent as it is 35 feet in height and three stories.
Neighbor Notification
A Public Notice was sent to property owners within 500 feet of the site. In addition, the public hearing
notice and description of the project was published in the Saratoga News. No additional concerns
have been brought to the City’s attention as of the writing of this staff report.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The project is Categorically Exempt from the Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant Section
15303, “New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures”, Class 3 (a) of the Public Resources
Code (CEQA). This exemption allows for the construction of a multi-family residential structure
totaling not more than six dwelling units and the construction of a commercial building not exceeding
10,000 square feet in floor area on sites zoned for such use.

8. Old Business:
a. 20640 Third Street – Debbie Pedro discussed new information for HPC review and
consideration that was not previously available at the April 10, 2018 HPC meeting, when
the Commission reviewed the proposal for a mixed use building adjacent to the historic
Sam Cloud Barn. The new material included an evaluation prepared by an architectural
historian of the proposed project in relation to the Sam Cloud barn, and previously
approved plans from 2007 for a mixed use project at the subject site where the HPC had
recommended approval (the approval has since expired). The CEQA process was also
summarized.
Commissioner Marchetti commented that although plans were previously approved for the
site, the Commission must treat the current application as a new project.
After an extensive discussion, Commissioner Marchetti summarized the Commission’s
comments and outlined the following list of recommendations for the Planning
Commission:
1. The siding on the Sam Cloud barn should not be touched.
2. Prefer to see more of the barn and suggested that the proposed building should be
moved or redesigned to expose more view of the three vertical barn windows from
4th Street.
3. On the rear (northwest) elevation of the building, the roof above the garage should
not be flat. A gable roof is recommended at the center.
4. The roof over the elevator shaft should be pitched to be consistent with the
surrounding roof lines and a height variance, if needed, should be approved to
allow the height increase.
5. Enlarge the windows as much as possible to be consistent with the size and design
of the barn windows along the front (southeast) elevation.
6. Require a minimum of two (2) large/mature trees along with shrubs or planter boxes
to soften the building, along the front of the building. City Arborist should make
the determination on species that are appropriate for the location.
7. Reduce the amount of glazing and increase the amount of siding along the rear
(northwest) elevation.
8. Likes the proposed two-toned paint colors.
The applicant commented they felt they could meet most of the recommendations of the
Commission except reducing the amount of glazing along the 4th Street elevation. The
Commission discussed this and the majority of the Commission felt that the amount of
glazing proposed at rear (northwest) elevation was not an issue.
Commissioner Shah moved to not recommend approval of the project since the amount of
glazing along the rear (northwest) elevation would not be reduced. Motion died due to a
lack of a second.
Nugent/Stransky moved to recommend approval of the project based on the list of
recommendations they created, excluding the recommendation that the amount of glazing 81
Page 3 of 3
be reduced along the rear (northwest) elevation to increase the amount of siding.
Ayes: Marchetti, Stransky, and Nugent. Noes: Shah. Absent: Cappello and Rodgers.
Abstain: None.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Emma Burkhalter, Assistant Engineer DATE: May 22, 2018
FROM: Cotton, Shires and Associates, Inc., City Geotechnical Consultant
SUBJECT: Supplemental Geotechnical Peer Review (S5206C)
RE: Sam Cloud Annex
GE017-0020
20640 Third Street
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At your request, we have completed a supplemental geotechnical peer review of the subject application
using:
Second Addendum to Plan Check Comments (letter), prepared by Redwood Geotechnical
Engineering, Inc., dated May 3, 2018;
Addendum to January 31, 2017 Geotechnical Report (letter), prepared by Redwood
Geotechnical Engineering, Inc., dated April 4, 2018;
Geotechnical Investigation (report), prepared by Redwood Geotechnical, dated January 31,
2017;
Architectural Plans (12 sheets) prepared by Metro Design Group, dated December 5, 2017; and
Grading and Drainage Plans (Sheet C-1) prepared by Metro Design Group, dated May 17, 2016.
In addition, we have reviewed technical documents from our office files pertinent to the previous barn
remodel/addition (S0326).
DISCUSSION
The applicant proposes to construct an addition onto the western side of the existing historic barn that
includes lower level parking with three levels of loft/condominium units above. The project will require
shoring of a vertical excavation of approximately 30 feet in height. We understand that shotcrete facing with
lateral anchors will be constructed at 5-foot increments in a top-down sequence to shore the construction
excavation. Per clarifications provided by Redwood Geotechnical Engineering, Inc. (RGE), we understand
that the proposed shoring wall will provide permanent support for the planned excavation and that the annex
structure will incorporate a separate, free-standing concrete wall. In our previous geotechnical peer review
(April 26, 2018) we presented our opinion that potential use of helical anchors for support of the shoring wall
may not be suitable for long-term support due to corrosion. Based on presented technical information, we did
not recommend geotechnical approval of the helical anchor design proposal.
83
Emma Burkhalter May 22, 2018
Page 2 S5206C
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDED ACTION
The proposed construction is potentially constrained by existing fill materials, uncemented alluvial
deposits, potential temporary cutslope instability, and strong seismic ground shaking. The Project
Geotechnical Consultant has completed a site investigation and recommends geotechnical design parameters
(including criteria for drilled tieback anchors) that are in general conformance with prevailing geotechnical
standards. The Consultant has confirmed that the permanent shoring wall can be designed with drilled
tieback anchors and this is a condition of Peer Review approval. Consequently, we recommend approval of
Project Geotechnical Clearance with the following conditions.
1. Shoring Wall Design – The permanent shoring wall shall be designed with drilled and grouted
corrosion protected tieback anchors per geotechnical design parameters recommended by the Project
Geotechnical Consultant. Installation and proof testing of tieback anchors shall be observed, inspected
and documented by the Project Geotechnical Consultant.
2. Geotechnical Plan Review - The applicant's geotechnical consultant shall review and approve all
geotechnical aspects of the project building and grading plans (i.e., shoring walls, site preparation
and grading, site drainage improvements and design parameters for foundations, and retaining
walls) to ensure that their recommendations have been properly incorporated.
The results of the plan review shall be summarized by the geotech nical consultant in a letter and
submitted to the City Engineer for review and approval prior to issuance of building permits.
3. Geotechnical Construction Inspections - The geotechnical consultant shall inspect, test (as
needed), and approve all geotechnical aspects of the project construction. The inspections shall
include, but not necessarily be limited to: site preparation and grading, site surface and subsurface
drainage improvements, and excavations for foundations and retaining walls prior to the
placement of steel and concrete. Installation and proof testing of tieback anchors shall be observed,
inspected and documented by the Project Geotechnical Consultant.
The results of these inspections and the as-built conditions of the project shall be described by the
geotechnical consultant in a letter and submitted to the City Engineer for review prior to final
(granting of occupancy) project approval.
LIMITATIONS
This supplemental geotechnical peer review has been performed to provide technical advice to assist the
City in its discretionary permit decisions. Our services have been limited to review of the documents
previously identified, and a visual review of the property. Our opinions and conclusions are made in
accordance with generally accepted principles and practices of the geotechnical profession. This warranty is in
lieu of all other warranties, either expressed or implied.

PDR16-0002
The applicant is requesting a variance from the strict application of Section 15-
19.050(e) of the Saratoga Municipal Code.
Within the CH-1 zoning district, the maximum net site area covered by structures
shall be eighty percent, except that up to one hundred percent of the site may be
covered by structures if, for any structure coverage in excess of eighty percent, an
equivalent area on the site is devoted to pedestrian open space.
The term pedestrian open space means common areas open to the public where
pedestrians may walk or gather, such a s plazas and arcades, which are designed to be
visible and accessible to pedestrians on streets, sidewalks and parking facilities
adjacent to the site.
The project site is located behind the commercial buildings that front Big Basin Way
on a sloped area that will be joined with an adjacent site with a structure known as
the Sam Cloud Barn. The site does not relate to nor is it accessible from any public
way except a public access stairway located amongst the Sam Cloud Barn and the
Saratoga Inn providing access between the lower parking lot (parking district 1) and
the main entrance to the Sam Cloud Barn at 4ht Street.
The project’s combined site areas of both lots is 4,582 SF. Whereas both the existing
building and the new building result in coverage of 91 % of the site, there should be
11 % of the site dedicated to a public open space. The required area for Public Open
Space is 504 SF. The project proposes 604 SF of the site dedicated to areas where
pedestrians can walk or gather. The proposed 604 SF of pedestrian open space
creates another connection to the existing public access stairway. Whereas a new
elevator will now provide an “accessible” wheelchair access to the Historic Barn at all
levels as well as the existing public access stairway and new annex building, it has
been deemed unsatisfactory by the Planning Department and requires a variance.
The approving authority may grant a variance as applied for or in modified form if, on
the basis of the application and the evidence sub mitted, the approving authority
makes all of the following findings:
(a) That because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape,
topography, location or surroundings, strict enforcement of the specified regulation would
93
deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the vicinity
and classified in the same zoning district.
Whereas the project consists of combining a vacant site with a site that currently has an
“historic” building on it, it constitutes a special circumstance. Both sites are similar in
size, topography, location and surroundings however the configurations of both lots are
quite different. The site for the proposed annex building is an irregular shape that is not
conducive to construct a rectangular building footprint. The existing Sam Cloud Barn
Building relative to its lot size has 5% open space with a building coverage of 95%. The
majority of the existing buildings along Big Basin Way are constructed with zero
setbacks on the sides and along the front and yielding zero public open space. The
subject site is neither accessible nor visible from Big Basin Way.
Requiring Elevator access through a private building to Parking Lot 1 while satisfying
the Planning Department’s requirement for no variance requires the construction of
many additional accessible public improvements to meet the California Building Code.
These improvements include but are not limited to the creation of sidewalks and
regrading of the City parking lot. This strict enforcement deprives the applicant of
privileges that are currently being enjoyed by the majority, of the neighboring sites as
these sites.
(b) That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the vicinity and classified in the same
zoning district.
The surrounding sites do not provide an accessible access through their properties to
connect the Big Basin Way pedestrian way to the lower City Parking Lot. The majority
of the existing buildings along Big Basin Way are constructed with zero setbacks on the
sides and along the front and yielding zero public open space.
In addition to providing public open space in the form of access stairway and an
elevator for the public to use, the applicant is also proposing to refurbish the Parking
Lot (parking district #3) and provide a new compliant Trash Enclosure Structure and
restripe the City’s Parking lot to add a new Accessible Parking stall and provide Fire
Truck access that currently does not exist today. The Parking Lot area will include
additional open space with landscaping elements that also do not exist today. There is
clearly not special privilege as this new Work will be completed for the benefit of the
community and the City at the owner’s expense.
(c) That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or
welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity .
All Work will be done to meet the current California Building Code.

IF A ROOF DRIP LINE OFDRIVEWAY IS ON A STEEP SLOPE, INSTALL A LINED DITCH TO ROUTE THERUNOFF TO A DRY WELL OR TO AN INFILTRATION TRENCH LOCATEDALONG A SLOPE CONTOUR. INSTALL THESE PERMANENT INFILTRATIONSYSTEMS AFTER CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETED (SEE SAMPLEPERMANENT DRAINAGE PLAN).5.

THE SOILCONSERVATION SERVICE, U.S. FOREST SERVICE MAY PROVIDEINFORMATION ON THESE AND OTHER SUITABLE PLANT TYPES.1. TIME GRADING AND CONSTRUCTION TO MINIMIZE SOIL EXPOSURENATURAL VEGETATION IS THE MOST EFFICIENT FORM OF EROSIONCONTROL AND IS ALSO THE MOST DIFFICULT TO RE-ESTABLISH. FORTHIS REASON, ONLY THE AREA REQUIRED FOR CONSTRUCTION SHOULDBE STRIPPED, STAGE GRADING SO THAT ONLY THE PORTION OF THESITE THAT CAN BE CONSTRUCTED ON ONE YEAR IS CLEARED OFVEGETATION.VEGETATION IS A DESIRABLE FORM OF EROSION CONTROL BECAUSE ITKEEPS SOIL IN PLACE AND MAINTAINS AN ATTRACTIVE,NATURAL-LOOKING LANDSCAPE. VEGETATION REDUCES EROSION BY:A. ABSORBING RAINDROP IMPACTB. REDUCING RUNOFF VELOCITYC. REDUCING RUNOFF VOLUME BY INCREASING INFILTRATION INTO THESOILREVEGETATE CLEARED AREAS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER GRADING. SEE "WHEN TO PLANT." KEEP ALL VEHICLE TRAFFIC OUT OF AREAS THATHAVE BEEN REVEGETATED.THE ENERGY OF FLOWING WATER DRAMATICALLY INCREASES ASVELOCITY INCREASES. IF VELOCITY DOUBLES, THE EROSIVE ENERGYQUADRUPLES, AND THE WATER CAN MOVE PARTICLES 64 TIMES ASLARGE. VELOCITIES CAN BE KEPT LOW BY:A. KEEPING FLOW VOLUMES LOW (SUCH AS PRESERVING SITEVEGETATION OR BE DIVIDING RUNOFF INTO SEVERAL CHANNELS RATHER THAN ONE)B. CONSTRUCTING FLOW BARRIERS AT FREQUENT INTERVALS LININGCHANNELS WITH ROUGH MATERIAL, SUCH AS ROCKSSOME EROSION DURING CONSTRUCTION IS UNAVOIDABLE.SEDIMENT-LADEN RUNOFF MUST BE DETAINED ON-SITE SO THE THE SOILPARTICLES CAN SETTLE OUT BEFORE THE RUNOFF REACHES ANYWATERWAY OR SOMEON DES'S PROPERTY. USE ANY OF THEFOLLOWING CONTROL MEASURES TO KEEP SEDIMENT FROM LEAVINGTHE SITE:THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF REVEGETATION IS EROSION CONTROL.GRASS PROVIDES THE BEST PROTECTION FOR THE FIRS FEW YEARS.GRASSES GERMINATE AND GROW QUICKLY AND PROVIDE A FAST ANDCOMPLETE GROUND COVER. TREES AND SHRUBS ARE EFFECTIVE FORLONG-TERM EROSION CONTROL, BUT GRASSES ARENEEDED FOR INITIAL SOIL PROTECTION UNTIL THE SLOWER GROWINGTRESS AND SHRUBS BECOME WELL ESTABLISHED. DECORATIVE:LANDSCAPING: WITH TREES AND SHRUBS CAN BE DONE LATERCERTAIN CLIMATES AND TERRAINS CAN MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR PLANTSTO BECOME ESTABLISHED. THE STEEPER THE SLOPE, THE MOREDIFFICULT IT IS. THE GREATEST CHANCE OF SUCCESS WITHREVEGETATION WILL BE IF THE ANGLE OF DISTURBED SLOPES IS KEPTTO A MINIMUM.THE FOLLOWING GRASS SEED MIXES ARE SUITABLE FOR NEARLY ALLSITES IN THE AREA. SELECT ONE SPECIES FROM EACH GRoUP ANDCOMBINE.THE TIME OF PLANTING DEPENDS ON IRRIGATION. WITH IRRIGATION, ONEMUST CONTINUE TO IRRIGATE UNTIL THE GRASS IS WELL ESTABLISHED.IT IS POSSIBLE TO PLANT SEEDS ANY TIME IN THE TEMPERATE CLIMATEOF THE BAY AREA, BUT FOR BEST RESULTS- (WITHOUT IRRIGATION):A. PLANT SEEDS AS LATE AS POSSIBLE IN THE FALL. OCTOBER ANDNOVEMBER ARE GENERALLY GOOD MONTHS TO SEED. SEEDS PLANTED TOO EARLY IN THE FALL MAY GERMINATE WITH FALL RAINS AND THEYOUNG SEEDLINGS CAN THEN BE DILLED BY FROST, ORB. PLANT SEEDS IN MARCH OR APRIL. MAY IS GENERALLY TOO LATE ASTHERE PROBABLY WILL NOT BE ENOUGH RAIN TO GERMINATE THE SEEDAND ALLOW THE PLANTS TO GROW TO A SIZE THAT CAN SURVIVE THESUMMER DRY PERIOD.STRAW IS THE BEST MULCH MATERIAL. APPLY ONE BALE OF STRAW PER 1,000 SQ. FT. DISTRIBUTE THE STRAW EVENLY SO THAT IF FORMS ALAYER 1" TO 2" THICK. SOIL SHOULD STILL BE VISIBLE THROUGH THESTRAW MAT. IF YOU APPLY TO MUCH MULCH, IT MAY PRODUCE A MAT TOO DENSE FOR SEEDLINGS TO PENETRATE.ANCHOR THE STRAW BY PUNCHING IT INTO THE SOIL EVERY 1" TO 2"WITH A DULL, ROUND-NOSED SHOVEL (TO AVOID CUTTING THE STRAW)OR BY COVERING IT WITH NETTING (JUTE, PLASTIC, MESH, WOVEN PAPER,OR CHICKEN WIRE). FASTEN THE NETTING TO THE GROUND WITH WIRESTAPLES. BECAUSE THE SOILS IN MANY AREAS ARE QUITE HARD, YOUMAY HAVE TO USE NETTING TO ANCHOR THE STRAW.WOOD FIBERS, WOOD CHIPS AND PINE NEEDLES ARE OTHER REUSABLEMULCH MATERIALS. WOOD FIBER MULCH IS APPLIED HYDRAULICALLY IN A SLURRY THAT ALSO CONTAINS THE SEED AND FERTILIZER. IT ISSUITABLE FOR USE IN STEEP SLOPES OR LARGE AREAS AND MUST BEAPPLIED BY CONTRACTOR, (THE APPLICATION RATE OF WOOD FIBERMULCH IS 3,000 LBS./ACRE). WOOD CHIPS AND PINE NEEDLES CANPROTECT THE SOIL FROM EROSION, BUT THEY ALSO INHIBIT PLANTGROWTH. THEY CAN ONLY BE USED WHERE A GRASS COVER IS NOTDESIRED. APPLY WOOD CHIPS SO THAT SOIL IS COMPLETELY COVERED. APPLY PINE NEEDLES IN A LAYER 2" TO 3" THICK. YOU CAN SAVE THEORGANIC MATERIALS FROM GRADED AREAS ON THE PROPERTY TO USE AS A MULCH LATER, BUT YOU WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO SUPPLEMENTTHEM WITH WOOD CHIPS TO ACHIEVE AN ADEQUATE GROUND COVER.7. PROTECT DRAINAGEWAYS AND OUTLETS FROM INCREASED FLOWSDEVELOPMENT CHANGES THE CHARACTERISTICS OF RUNOFF. WHENLAND IS PAVED OR VEGETATION IS REMOVED AND SOIL IS COMPACTEDBY CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC, THE VOLUME OF RUNOFF INCREASES.RUNOFF FLOWING OVER HARD OR SMOOTH SURFACES SUCH AS PACKEDEARTH OR PAVEMENT INCREASES IN VELOCITY, GRADING MAY CAUSERUNOFF TO CONCENTRATE IN A SINGLE CHANNEL INSTEAD OF BEINGDISPERSED OVER A BROAD AREA. THESE CHANGES IN RUNOFF CANCAUSE CHANNEL EROSION UNLESS PROTECTION MEASURE AREINSTALLED. COMMON FORMS OF CHANNEL PROTECTION ARE:A. LININGS (GRAVEL, CONCRETE, ASPHALT)B. PIPES OR CULVERTSC.

Report Prepared By:Christopher Riordan, Senior Planner
STAFF RECOMMENDATION

amendments to Chapter 15 (Zoning Regulations) of the Saratoga City Code.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION

crushing, fermenting, blending, aging, storage, bottling, and administrative office functions for
the winery and warehousing. Special events, Rretail sales and tasting rooms facilities of wine
and related promotional items may be permitted as part of the winery operation.
On September 19, 2018, the City Council reviewed the list of proposed cleanup amendments to
the City Code and directed staff to add the following item to the list of Code updates:
Subterranean Structure definition - Clarify the definition of subterranean structures by
adding appropriate references to the regulations applicable to basements and add a
requirement that subterranean structures not be visible from the public right of way.
The table on the following pages is a summary of topics being addressed with the annual update
to the Zoning Regulations of the City Code. The actual amendments to the text of the City Code
are included in the resolution (Attachment 1).

Topic Current Approach Proposed Changes
Definition of Floor
Area (15-06.280)
The floor area definition includes
“basements” as a type of space that
could be counted as floor area.
However, the basement definition in
Section 15-06.090 states below grade
spaces which qualify as a basement
are not to be included in the
calculation of floor area.
Delete the word “basements” from
Section 15-06.280 as the type of space
which could be considered as floor
area
Subterranean
Structure Definition
(15-06.685)
The subterranean structure definition
does not explicitly call out the standards
of a “wholly underground” structure.
Clarify the definition of subterranean
structures by adding appropriate
references to the regulations
applicable to basements and add a
requirement that subterranean
structures not be visible from the
public right of way.
Winery Definition
(15-06)
“Wineries” are a conditional use in the
Hillside Residential Zoning District.
The City Code does not include a
definition for a winery.
Amend Article 15-06 to add a
definition for a Winery.
Conditional Uses in
the R-1 Single-
Family Residential
District (15-12.030)
Existing code provisions include a list
of conditional uses that may be
allowed in the R-1 district upon the
granting of use permit pursuant to
Article 15-55 or Article 15-56.
Regulations pertaining to Accessory
Dwelling Units are contained in
Article 15-56 which are not
considered a conditional use and there
is no need to reference them.
Delete the reference to Article 15-56.
Conditional Uses in
the HR Hillside
Residential District
(15-13.040)
Conditional uses in the HR district
which may be permitted subject to
additional review related to traffic and
noise impacts are institutional
facilities, police and fire stations and
other public buildings and facilities,
religious and charitable institutions,
and nursing homes and day care
facilities. Wineries can have similar
traffic and noise impacts and should
be included in the list of uses requiring
additional review.
Amend Article 15-13 to add Winery to
the list of conditional uses that may be
permitted subject to additional review
regarding possible noise or traffic
impacts.

AP/OS: Agricultural
Preserve Overlay
District
(Article 15-15)
In 2016 the City Council adopted
updated procedures for processing
Williamson Act applications
including streamlined procedures
for designating lands in the
“Agricultural” and “Hillside
Residential” zoning districts as
Agricultural Preserves. Because of
this new process, the AP/OS
Overlay is no longer needed.
Amend the City Code to
repeal the AP/OS overlay
district and confirm that all
lands formerly included in the
district are designated as
Agricultural Preserves.
Fence Height
Restrictions
(15-29.010)
The Planning Commission can
approve a solid fence taller than six
feet through an exception process
listed in Section 15-29.090. The City
Code incorrectly references 15-29.080
(Exemption for Agricultural Uses) as
the location of the exception process.
Amend the City Code to include the
correct reference.
Swimming Pool
Fences (15-29.010)
Section 16-75.010 pertaining to
swimming pool fencing was repealed
by Ord. No. 310 adopted in Dec. 4,
2013. The existing fence regulations
pertaining to swimming pools
reference the deleted section.
Swimming pool fence regulations are
contained in the California Building
Code.
Delete the reference to Section 16-
75.010 and replace it with a reference
to the California Building Code.
Native Tree
Definitions (15-
50.020(p))
The list of native trees includes tree
names that are incorrectly capitalized
or the botanical names are spelled
incorrectly.
Amend the City Code to correct the
misspellings.

RESOLUTION NO: 18-025
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SARATOGA PLANNING COMMISSION
RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO
CHAPTER 15 OF THE SARATOGA CITY CODE
APPLICATION ZOA18-0001
The City of Saratoga Planning Commission finds and determines as follows with respect to
the above-described application:
WHEREAS, during the review and implementation of Chapter 15 (Zoning) of the
City Code, staff has identified specific code sections which are inconsistent with other
sections of the Zoning Code, are difficult to interpret, or have been preempted by changes
to California law. The current review has identified proposed amendments to various Code
sections shown in Exhibit A.
WHEREAS, on October 24, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed Public
Hearing on the legislation described above at which time all interested parties were given a
full opportunity to be heard and to present evidence and argument. The Planning
Commission considered the amendments, staff report, correspondence, presentations from
the public, and all testimony and other evidence presented at the Public Hearing.
NOW THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of Saratoga hereby
finds, determines and resolves as follows:
Section 1: The recitals set forth above are true and correct and incorporated herein
by reference.
Section 2: The legislation described in the recitals is categorically exempt from
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public Resources Code
Sections 15061(b)(3). CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential of causing
a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is
no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the
environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. In this circumstance, the minor
amendments are clarifying only and would have a de minimis impact on the environment.
Section 3: After careful consideration of the staff report and other materials,
exhibits and evidence submitted to the City in connection with this matter, the Planning
Commission of the City of Saratoga does hereby recommend to the City Council to amend
the City Code as shown in Exhibit A.
