SCOPE OF REVIEW
Housing Accountability Act
The project, as a housing development proposing more than one residential unit, limits the City
in its ability to “deny, reduce the density for, or render infeasible” the project under the Housing
Accountability Act (HAA) (Government Code Section 65589.5) unless the project: (1) is found
to be in violation of an objective general plan/zoning standard; or (2) will result in a specific
adverse impact to public health and safety. While conditions and requirements may be applied to
further applicable goals, policies, and strategies – any conditions and requirements not based on
objective standards may not make the project infeasible or reduce the number of units. For
example, the decision-making body may apply conditions related to window treatments or paint
color but could not apply conditions resulting in aesthetic modifications that would render the
project infeasible. Under the HAA an objective standard is one involves “no personal or
subjective judgment by a public official and [is] uniformly verifiable by reference to an external
and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant
or proponent and the public official.”
General Plan Housing Element
The City of Saratoga’s 2023-2031 Housing Element requires the City to plan for 1,712 housing
units at all affordability levels for the 2023-2031 planning period.
Very-Low Income – 454 units
Low Income – 261 units
Moderate Income – 278 units
Above Moderate – 719 units
The project will help the City achieve its housing productivity goals by providing one above
moderate housing unit and a moderate housing unit proposed accessory dwelling unit.
SITE CHARACTERISTICS AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Site Description
The project site is located at 20296 Seagull Way in the R-10,000 (Single Family Residential)
zoning district. The 10,349 square foot site is relatively level. The site contains an existing 1,360
square foot single story residence with garage as well as related site improvements. An existing
fence along property lines will be removed and replaced with a 6’ tall fence with 1’ of lattice.
Surrounding uses on all sides include a mix of single story and two-story single-family homes on
similar sized parcels.
Project Description
The applicant has provided a color and materials board. (Attachment 3) Below is a list of the

Roof Dark Grey/Barrel tile
Trees
There are no protected trees near the proposed or impacted by the proposed development.
Landscaping
The installation of front yard landscaping is required prior to building permit final inspection. The
project includes a condition of approval that landscaping is to be installed per City Code Section 15-
12.095.
FINDINGS
Design Review
The findings required for issuance of Design Review approval pursuant to City Code Section 15-
45.080 are set forth below.
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 the building site is relatively level, and no grading is required to construct the
project. The development is appropriate to the site’s natural constraints with single family homes
around it.
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 as no protected trees are
near the proposed development.
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 the proposed residence complies
with the maximum height limitation of 26 feet allowable for residential structures. In addition, a
new 6’ wood fence with 1’ of lattice will be built along the property lines for privacy. No
community view sheds are in the vicinity of the project.
d. 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 proposed residence complies with the maximum height limitation of 26 feet allowable
for residential structures; the building has varying architectural forms and exterior materials to
break up the appearance of mass, the building setbacks comply with those required for the R-1-
10,000 zoning district.
e. The landscape design minimizes hardscape in the front setback area and contains elements
that are complimentary to the neighborhood and streetscape. This finding may be made in the
affirmative in that the project includes a condition of approval that front yard landscaping is to be
10

20296 Seagull Way – PDR22-0020
August 14, 2024
Page | 5
installed prior to the building department final inspection. Staff will ensure that this landscaping
is complimentary to the neighborhood and streetscape. The City Code requires that at least 50%
of the front setback area be landscaped.
f. Development of the site does not unreasonably impair the ability of adjoining properties to
utilize solar energy. This finding may be made in the affirmative in that the home is similar in
mass with the homes in the neighborhood and will not cast shadows on the adjacent properties
which could impair the adjacent property owner’s opportunity to utilize solar energy.
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 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.
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 to the project as the site is not considered a
hillside lot as the average slope is less than 10% nor will it affect any significant hillside feature or
community viewshed.
Neighbor Notification and Correspondence
The Community Development Department mailed public notices 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 reached out to the adjacent neighbors during the review process and
provided completed neighbor notification forms, no concerns were raised with the neighbor
notification forms.
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 single-family residence and small
structures in a residential area. The project, as proposed, is for the construction of a new residence in
a suburban, residential area.

DESIGN REVIEW FINDINGS
20296 Seagull Way
PDR22-0020
(386-52-038)
The findings required for issuance of Design Review approval pursuant to City Code Section 15-
45.080 are set forth below.
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 the building site is relatively level and no grading is required to construct the
project. The development is appropriate to the site’s natural constraints with single family homes
around it.
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 as no protected trees are
proposed near the proposed development.
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 the proposed residence complies
with the maximum height limitation of 26 feet allowable for residential structures and a new 6’
wood fence with 1’ of lattice will be built along the property lines for privacy. No community
view sheds are in the vicinity of the project.
d. 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 proposed residence complies with the maximum height limitation of 26
feet allowable for residential structures; the building has varying architectural forms and exterior
materials to break up the appearance of mass, the building setbacks comply with those required
for the R-1-10,000 zoning district.
e. The landscape design minimizes hardscape in the front setback area and contains elements
that are complimentary to the neighborhood and streetscape. This finding may be made in the
affirmative in that the project includes a condition of approval that front yard landscaping is to be
installed prior to the building department final inspection. Staff will ensure that this landscaping
is complimentary to the neighborhood and streetscape. The City Code requires that at least 50%
of the front setback area be landscaped.
f. Development of the site does not unreasonably impair the ability of adjoining properties to
utilize solar energy. This finding may be made in the affirmative in that the home is similar in
mass with the homes in the neighborhood and will not cast shadows on the adjacent properties
which could impair the adjacent property owner’s opportunity to utilize solar energy.
18
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 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.
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 to the project as the site is not considered a
hillside lot as the average slope is less than 10% nor will it affect any significant hillside feature or
community viewshed.

SCOPE OF REVIEW
Housing Accountability Act
The project, as a housing development proposing more than one residential unit, limits the City
in its ability to “deny, reduce the density for, or render infeasible” the project under the Housing
Accountability Act (HAA) (Government Code Section 65589.5) unless the project: (1) is found
38
Report to the Planning Commission
12820 Paseo Presada – PDR24-0005/ARB24-0031
August 14, 2024
Page | 3
to be in violation of an objective general plan/zoning standard; or (2) will result in a specific
adverse impact to public health and safety. While conditions and requirements may be applied to
further applicable goals, policies, and strategies – any conditions and requirements not based on
objective standards may not make the project infeasible or reduce the number of units. For
example, the decision-making body may apply conditions related to window treatments or paint
color but could not apply conditions resulting in aesthetic modifications that would render the
project infeasible. Under the HAA an objective standard is one involves “no personal or
subjective judgment by a public official and [is] uniformly verifiable by reference to an external
and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant
or proponent and the public official.”
General Plan Housing Element
The City of Saratoga’s 2023-2031 Housing Element requires the City to plan for 1,712 housing
units at all affordability levels for the 2023-2031 planning period.
Very-Low Income – 454 units
Low Income – 261 units
Moderate Income – 278 units
Above Moderate – 719 units
The project will help the City achieve its housing productivity goals by providing one above
moderate housing unit and a moderate housing unit proposed accessory dwelling unit.

FINDINGS
Design Review
The findings required for issuance of Design Review approval pursuant to City Code Section 15-
45.080 are set forth below.
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 the building site is relatively level, and no grading is required to construct the
project. The development is appropriate to the site’s natural constraints with single family homes
around it.
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 as no protected trees are
proposed for removal with this project.
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 the proposed residence complies
with the maximum height limitation of 26 feet allowable for residential structures.
d. 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 proposed residence complies with the maximum height limitation of 26 feet allowable
for residential structures; the building has varying architectural forms and exterior materials to
break up the appearance of mass, the building setbacks comply with those required for the R-1-
10,000 zoning district.
e. The landscape design minimizes hardscape in the front setback area and contains elements
that are complimentary to the neighborhood and streetscape. This finding may be made in the
affirmative in that the project includes a condition of approval that front yard and exterior side
yard landscaping is to be installed prior to the building department final inspection. Staff will

ensure that this landscaping is complimentary to the neighborhood and streetscape. The City
Code requires that at least 50% of the front and exterior side setback area be landscaped.
f. Development of the site does not unreasonably impair the ability of adjoining properties to
utilize solar energy. This finding may be made in the affirmative in that the home is similar in
mass with the homes in the neighborhood and will not cast shadows on the adjacent properties
which could impair the adjacent property owner’s opportunity to utilize solar energy.
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 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.
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 to the project as the site is not considered a
hillside lot as the average slope is less than 10% nor will it affect any significant hillside feature or
community viewshed.

DESIGN REVIEW FINDINGS
12820 Paseo Presada
PDR24-0005/ARB24-0031
(386-13-041)
Design Review
The findings required for issuance of Design Review approval pursuant to City Code Section 15-
45.080 are set forth below.
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 the building site is relatively level, and no grading is required to construct the
project. The development is appropriate to the site’s natural constraints with single family homes
around it.
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 as no protected trees are
proposed for removal with this project.
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 the proposed residence complies
with the maximum height limitation of 26 feet allowable for residential structures.
d. 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 proposed residence complies with the maximum height limitation of 26
feet allowable for residential structures; the building has varying architectural forms and exterior
materials to break up the appearance of mass, the building setbacks comply with those required
for the R-1-10,000 zoning district.
e. The landscape design minimizes hardscape in the front setback area and contains elements
that are complimentary to the neighborhood and streetscape. This finding may be made in the
affirmative in that the project includes a condition of approval that front yard and exterior side
yard landscaping is to be installed prior to the building department final inspection. Staff will
ensure that this landscaping is complimentary to the neighborhood and streetscape. The City
Code requires that at least 50% of the front and exterior side setback area be landscaped.
f. Development of the site does not unreasonably impair the ability of adjoining properties to
utilize solar energy. This finding may be made in the affirmative in that the home is similar in
mass with the homes in the neighborhood and will not cast shadows on the adjacent properties
which could impair the adjacent property owner’s opportunity to utilize solar energy.
49
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 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.
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 to the project as the site is not considered a
hillside lot as the average slope is less than 10% nor will it affect any significant hillside feature or
community viewshed.

TREE IMPACT ASSESSMENT
* 6X DBH is the distance from trunkface to transverse rootcut (i.e. trenching past a tree), that
results in approximately 25% root loss. More than 25% rootloss is likely to result in the decline
and/or instabilty of a tree. The City Arborist commonly uses this number as the setback they
require from excavation work to a tree to be preserved.
**ASSUMES STANDARD AND SPECIAL TREE PROTECTION MEASURES ARE FOLLOWED.
*** I did not include trees in the path of ingress and egress (marked as "very low") in the
appraisal total, based on guidance from the City Arborist that these typically do not count
towards the deposit.

SCOPE OF REVIEW
Housing Accountability Act
The project, as a housing development proposing more than one residential unit, limits the City
in its ability to “deny, reduce the density for, or render infeasible” the project under the Housing
Accountability Act (HAA) (Government Code Section 65589.5) unless the project: (1) is found
to be in violation of an objective general plan/zoning standard; or (2) will result in a specific
adverse impact to public health and safety. While conditions and requirements may be applied to
further applicable goals, policies, and strategies – any conditions and requirements not based on
objective standards may not make the project infeasible or reduce the number of units. For
example, the decision-making body may apply conditions related to window treatments or paint
color but could not apply conditions resulting in aesthetic modifications that would render the
project infeasible. Under the HAA an objective standard is one involves “no personal or
subjective judgment by a public official and [is] uniformly verifiable by reference to an external
and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant
or proponent and the public official.”
General Plan Housing Element
The City of Saratoga’s 2023-2031 Housing Element requires Saratoga to plan for 1,712 housing
units at all affordability levels for the 2023-2031 planning period.
Very-Low Income – 454 units
Low Income – 261 units
Moderate Income – 278 units
Above Moderate – 719 units
The project will help Saratoga achieve its housing productivity goals by providing one above
moderate housing unit and one moderate income unit.
SITE CHARACTERISTICS AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Site Description
The 11,543 net square foot vacant project site is located at the intersection of Manteca Way and
Alcott Way. The site contains an existing one story 3,503 square foot single-family residence.
The site is level. Adjacent homes are all one story, however nearby homes are a combination of
both one and two story structures. There are two-story homes located at 13698 and 13714
Manteca Way.
Project Description
The architectural style of the project can best be described as contemporary. The project will include
the addition of a 781 second story to the existing one story residence for the purpose of creating an
accessory dwelling unit (ADU). An interior stairway will provide second story access. The stairway
will be accessible from a new rear entrance as well as from the interior of the residence. The ADU
will include one bedroom, living room, office, bathroom, and kitchen. A new second story balcony
on the front elevation will be accessible from the living room.
The exterior colors and materials of the second story addition will be consistent with the colors
and materials of the existing residence.

Trees
No protected trees are proposed for removal.
Landscaping
Existing landscaping within the front setback area includes lawn areas, drought resistant shrubs,
trees, and groundcover. No additional landscaping is proposed.
FINDINGS
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 the project only includes the construction of a second story addition, and no
grading is proposed to construct the project.
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
project is limited to the construction of a second story addition and no protected trees will be
impacted for its construction.
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 the proposed residence
complies with the maximum height limitation of 26 feet allowable for residential structures;
the second story has no second story windows facing the adjacent property to the left, and the
second story balcony will include half walls to mitigate side facing views and will be located
at the front of the structure to avoid views into the rear and side yards of adjacent neighbors.
There are no community viewsheds in the vicinity of the site.
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 proposed residence complies with the maximum height limitation of 26 feet
91

allowable for residential structures; the building has varying architectural forms and
projections to break up the appearance of mass, the building setbacks meet or exceed those
required for the R-1-10,000 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 existing landscaping within the front setback area includes lawn areas,
drought resistant shrubs, trees, and groundcover. No additional landscaping is proposed.
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 in that development will not
unreasonably impair the ability of adjoining properties to utilize solar energy as the project
exceeds the required side and rear setbacks, and the orientation of the sun throughout the day
with respect to the location of the site and position/height of the structure will not unreasonably
cast shadows on adjoining properties.
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 and the structure is set back in proportion to the size and shape of the lot. 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 to the project in that the site is not
characterized as a hillside lot nor is the site located within the Hillside Residential zoning
district.
NEIGHBOR NOTIFICATION AND CORRESPONDENCE
The applicant submitted five (5) notification forms from neighboring property owners and the
Community Development Department received three project related emails (Attachment #3). The
neighbor located at 18860 Alcott Way (located to the right of the project site) expressed concern
regarding potential impacts from a rear facing balcony – the current project does not include a rear
facing balcony. The neighboring property owner at 13746 Manteca Way (located to the left of the
project site) has concerns that the project will not fit into the neighborhood and the front facing
balcony could potentially affect their existing privacy and could block natural light. The three email
comments that were received include similar concerns as those included on the notification forms.
Three neighbors had no written concerns. The Community Development Department mailed public
notices 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.
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
92
Report to the Planning Commission
13760 Manteca Way – Application #’s PDR24-0002

Code (CEQA). This exemption allows for the construction of three single-family residences in a
residential area. The project, as proposed, is for the construction of a new residence in a suburban,
residential area.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SARATOGA PLANNING COMMISSION
APPROVING DESIGN REVIEW PDR24-0002
13760 MANTECA WAY (APN 389-30-024)
WHEREAS, on February 11, 2024, an application was submitted by Vandana and Milind
Pawar (Owner) requesting Design Review approval to construct a 781 square foot second story
addition to an existing one story single-family residence with an overall height of 25’-1”. The site is
located within the R-1-10,000 zoning district.
WHEREAS, the Community Development Department completed an environmental
assessment for the project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
and recommends that the Planning Commission determine this project Categorically Exempt.
WHEREAS, on August 14, 2024, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public
hearing on the subject application, considered evidence presented by City Staff, the applicant, and
other interested parties.
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 project is Categorically Exempt from the Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to 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 single-
family residence and small structures in a residential area.
Section 3: The proposed residence is consistent with the following Saratoga General Plan
Policies: Land Use Goal 13 which provides that the City shall use the Design Review process to
assure that new construction and major additions thereto are compatible with the site and the
adjacent surroundings; Safety Element Site and Drainage Policy 3 which provides that the City shall
require that landscaping and site drainage plans be submitted and approved during Design Review
for a residence prior to issuance of permits; and Conservation Element Policy 6.0 which provides
that the City shall protect the existing rural atmosphere of Saratoga by carefully considering the
visual impact of new development.
Section 4: The proposed residence is consistent with the Saratoga City Code in that the
design and improvements are consistent with the design review findings. 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; the porch and entry are in scale with other structures in the
neighborhood. In addition, the proposed materials, colors, and details enhance the architecture in a
well-composed, understated manner.

Comments Re: Comment on Application PDR24-0002: 13760 Manteca Way
Dear Planning Committee,
We are writing to express our concerns regarding the proposed
second-floor addition at 13760 Manteca Way. Specifically, we
believe that the inclusion of a patio facing the backyard poses
significant privacy concerns for the neighboring properties,
particularly those with adjacent backyards.
We respectfully request that the committee consider this issue
and recommend an alternative design that mitigates these
privacy impacts.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
106

Comments Revised-2: Comment on Application PDR24-0002: 13760
Manteca Way
We are writing to express our concerns regarding the proposed
second-floor addition at 13760 Manteca Way. We believe this
addition poses significant privacy concerns for the neighboring
properties, especially those sharing the eastern boundary.
To address these concerns, we suggest removing the patio from
the second floor. This adjustment would significantly mitigate
privacy impacts on adjacent properties.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Comments Regarding the second story application for 13760 Manteca Way,
(389-30-024) Our comments below. These comments were also
provided to the city in January on the cities preliminary project
proposal comment form:
Our comments/concerns for the project under preliminary review
at 13760 Manteca Way, Saratoga, CA
We find the plans objectionable. We feel a second story does not
fit in with the surrounding houses. However, you are asking for
our comments and concerns as if we are unable to object and
are only able to comment. Please see our initial concerns listed
below.
The plans deter from the neighborhood's aesthetics of the
cohesive ranch style roof tops by adding a second story. We are
concerned with how it will fit in with the neighborhood.
Facing the project house, we are on the left side, where there are
proposed second-story windows and a front balcony. The
windows will look over our house on the side; if lights are on at
night, will that light affect the primary bedroom of our home? Will
those windows limit our privacy and change the privacy level on
that side of the house? Also, will the second story block the
natural sunlight coming into the primary bedroom, primary
bathroom, guest bath all have windows on that side of the house.
We rely on the natural day light for the primary bedroom during
the day. The front balcony is a privacy concern for us, too. We
are concerned this architecture does not blend in with the
neighborhood's aesthetics.
Will natural light be blocked for our front, side and back
129
landscaping?
The proposal shown to us is preliminary; changes could be made
to it, and if so, we may have additional concerns. We would like
to be able to comment on final plans.
We understand our neighbors need for more space, we hope it
can be achieved without detrimental impacts to us and our
neighborhood.
