No protected trees are proposed for removal with this project. A description of the trees to be preserved and the tree protection plan are included in the Arborist Report. (Attachment 2) 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. 8 Report to the Planning Commission 18549 Devon Avenue/PDR21-0009/ARB21-0089 February 8, 2023 Page | 4 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 site 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 in that no protected trees are proposed for removal. 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 second story has a proposed height that does not exceed the maximum allowable height for a single-family residence and proposed setbacks that are in compliance with the minimum required by the zoning district. The second story windows on the east side elevation will have bottom sill height of 6’ and obscure glass. In addition, the second story windows along the rear of the residence will have a bottom sill height of 5’9” and obscure glass to avoid impacts to the privacy of the adjoining properties. 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 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. 9 Report to the Planning Commission 18549 Devon Avenue/PDR21-0009/ARB21-0089 February 8, 2023 Page | 5 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 City received 4 comments on this proposal. (Attachment 3) In August 2021, two neighbor notification forms were submitted from the property owner and tenant of the adjacent property to the east citing privacy issues from the second story windows and requested limiting construction hours. In addition, emails have been submitted from the property owner along the rear property line citing privacy concerns from the second floor. In response to the neighbors’ concerns, the applicant has modified the plans as provided below: East side of the residence • Reduced the number of windows on the second floor along the east side from six to three. • Increased the sill height of all the second floor windows along the east side of the residence from approximately 4’ to 6’. • Modified the windows on the second floor along the east side of the residence to be obscured glass. Rear of the residence • Increased the sill height of all the second floor windows along the rear of the residence from approximately 5’ to 5’9”. • Modified the windows on the second floor to be obscured glass along the rear of the residence. Additional design changes were made during the review process which included reducing the floor area by 93 square feet by reducing the footprint of the second floor by 50 square feet and the first floor by 43 square feet. Flipping the orientation of the second floor by moving the bedrooms from the east side of the residence to the west side to address privacy concerns. The roof was also 10 Report to the Planning Commission 18549 Devon Avenue/PDR21-0009/ARB21-0089 February 8, 2023 Page | 6 modified from a flat roof to a sloped roof and the height of the residence was lowered from 26’ to 24’10”. 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. ATTACHMENTS 1. Resolution No. 23-002 2. Arborist Report dated September 21, 2023 3.

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 site 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 in that no protected trees are proposed for removal. 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 second story has a proposed height that does not exceed the maximum allowable height for a single-family residence and proposed setbacks that are in compliance with the minimum required by the zoning district. The second story windows on the east side elevation will have bottom sill height of 6 ’and obscure glass. In addition, the second story windows along the rear of the residence will have a bottom sill height of 5’9 and obscure glass to avoid impacts to the privacy of the adjoining properties. 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. 19 18549 Devon Avenue Application # PDR21-0009/ARB21-0089 February 8, 2023 Resolution #23-002 Page | 9 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 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. 20 Community Development Department 13777 Fruitvale Avenue Saratoga, CA 95070 www.saratoga.ca.us/171/trees 408.868.1276 CITY OF SARATOGA ARBORIST APPROVAL Conditions of Approval and Tree Protection Plan Prepared by Christina Fusco, City Arborist Application No. ARB21-0089 Phone: (408) 868-1276 Address: 18549 Devon Ave Email: cfusco@saratoga.ca.us Owner: Bennet Chan APN: 389-13-044 Date: September 21, 2022 PROJECT SCOPE: The applicant has submitted plans to demolish the existing home and construct a new two-story home with detached ADU and shed.

YIMBY Law sues municipalities when they fail to comply with state housing laws, including the Housing Accountability Act (HAA). As you know, the Planning Commission has an obligation to abide by all relevant state housing laws when evaluating the above captioned proposal, including the HAA. Should the City fail to follow the law, YIMBY Law will not hesitate to ﬁle suit to ensure that the law is enforced. The project consists of a two story home with an attached ADU. California Government Code § 65589.5, the Housing Accountability Act, prohibits localities from denying housing development projects that are compliant with the locality’s zoning ordinance or general plan at the time the application was deemed complete, unless the locality can make ﬁndings that the proposed housing development would be a threat to public health and safety. The above captioned proposal is zoning compliant and general plan compliant, therefore, your local agency must approve the application, or else make ﬁndings to the eƦect that the proposed project would have an adverse impact on public health and safety, as described above. Should the City fail to comply with the law, YIMBY Law will not hesitate to take legal action to ensure that the law is enforced. I am signing this letter both in my capacity as the Executive Director of YIMBY Law, and as a resident of California who is aƦected by the shortage of housing in our state. Sincerely, 1 33 Sonja Trauss Executive Director YIMBY Law YIMBY Law, 57 Post Street, Suite 908, San Francisco, CA 94104 2 34 1LFROH-RKQVRQ )URP-RH%UDYR! 6HQW0RQGD\-DQXDU\30 7R1LFROH-RKQVRQGHQLFHEUDYR 6XEMHFW5HTXHVWLRQDERXWSURSRVHGWZRVWRU\KRPH'HYRQ$YH hd/KE͗dŚŝƐĞŵĂŝůŽƌŝŐŝŶĂƚĞĚĨƌŽŵŽƵƚƐŝĚĞǇŽƵƌŽƌŐĂŶŝǌĂƚŝŽŶ͘ǆĞƌĐŝƐĞĐĂƵƚŝŽŶǁŚĞŶŽƉĞŶŝŶŐĂƚƚĂĐŚŵĞŶƚƐŽƌĐůŝĐŬŝŶŐůŝŶŬƐ͕ ĞƐƉĞĐŝĂůůǇĨƌŽŵƵŶŬŶŽǁŶƐĞŶĚĞƌƐ͘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ƌŽŵ͗EŝĐŽůĞ:ŽŚŶƐŽŶфŶũŽŚŶƐŽŶΛƐĂƌĂƚŽŐĂ͘ĐĂ͘ƵƐх ^ĞŶƚ͗DŽŶĚĂǇ͕:ĂŶƵĂƌǇϮϯ͕ϮϬϮϯϴ͗ϮϭD dŽ͗ĚĞŶŝĐĞďƌĂǀŽфĚ х ^ƵďũĞĐƚ͗Z͗ƋƵĞƐƚŝŽŶĂďŽƵƚƉƌŽƉŽƐĞĚƚǁŽƐƚŽƌǇŚŽŵĞͲϭϴϱϰϵĞǀŽŶǀĞ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

NEIGHBOR SIGNATURE: -----.f-�--___. ...... /::: ________________ _ Revised February 2014 70 I am writing to express our strong objection to the proposed 2nd storey house at 18549 Devon Ave, Saratoga. As a resident of the neighborhood, especially right next to them, I am seriously concerned about the impact this 2 storey house will have on the community. We (Congchong Liu and Yunyan Guan) are living at 18564 Devon Ave, Saratoga, for just one year. We bought this property of Devon Ave because this is one of the pleasant roads in Saratoga and is completely composed of privacy with single storey residences. The owner applying for a 2 storey house did NOT consult with us at all, he did NOT share any of the floor plan with us, and even did NOT share the West side of his plan with us. Until now, we found the floor plan from the city website by ourselves. We are completely shocked to see the floor plan like this, is totally ruining a neighbor's privacy. On the West side, all the windows are able to see through clearly and completely from their rooms to our backyard, master bedroom, kitchen, laundry room, and guest room. If all those windows are facing to our side like this current design, we are losing our privacy significantly, and this is extremely disrespectful. The intrusion of privacy is harming our daily life and our interaction with our family. Privacy does matter. 71 We have browsed many 2 storey houses, we have never seen a design like this one, does NOT care and does NOT respect his neighborhood's privacy. Even the other sides (East side, North side) of this design are better than our side (West side). West side is the worst of the worst cases. I respect that the owner of 18549 Devon Ave wants to build a new construction with 2 storeys, but has he ever considered and respected his neighbor's privacy? Furthermore, I believe that there are alternative solutions that could be considered to address the need for the house. We hope he can revise his floor plan, to make sure all the windows are not able to see our majority use area, including backyard, master room, kitchen, laundry room, and guest room, in order to protect my family's privacy. I urge the owner of 18549 Devon Ave to consider the impact to his neighbors, and to take action to address these concerns. We would be happy to discuss our objections further and provide any additional information that may be helpful. We are open to discuss their further plan. Thanks Yunyan GuanCongchong Liu 72 CITY OF SARATOGA Memorandum To: Saratoga Planning Commission From: Nicole Johnson, Senior Planner Date: February 7, 2023 Subject: 18549 Devon Avenue. - Supplemental Attachment 2 The City received the following Neighbor notification form following agenda publication. 73 74 Page 2 of 4 I, Shahid Bokhari, have been renting the house at Devon Ave, Saratoga, from Manoj and Suman Goel, for about 10 years. Our stretch of Devon Ave is one of the most pleasant roads in Saratoga and is completely composed of single storey residences. Even the recently constructed houses are single storey. The proposed construction at 18549 Devon Ave is a 2 storey building that will greatly encroach on our privacy. Two of our bedrooms and our study are on the Eastern side of our house and overlook the 18549 lot. The photographs included below show how our privacy will be destroyed as the windows of the proposed 2 story house look directly into our bedrooms and study. In addition the privacy of our garden will be destroyed, as shown in the last photograph. I therefore request the City of Saratoga to disallow a two storey house in lot 18549. As a further issue, in these work-from-home times, several family members have frequent video calls from home, and construction noises will make these dicult. The City is requested to restrict use of heavy machinery for construction to 12noon onward so that we may have mornings free for conference calls. Shahid H.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Hi Nicole, My husband, Chris Burich, and I attended the site visit today to meet with the homeowners, planning commission and neighbors to learn about the proposed project at 18549 Devon Avenue. I am all for homeowners remodeling and hope to remodel my own home one day. However, the proposal for the two story modern home does not fit in with the charm of our neighborhood. If allowed to build this home, it would set a new precedent for our neighborhood and others will definitely follow. We have lived here since January 2009 and moved into this neighborhood for the rural charm. With the unfortunate remodel of the Gene's market area, we are already losing some of that charm. Please help us to preserve our neighborhood. I am not able to attend the public hearing in person or via zoom as I am a nurse and I will be working at the hospital during that time. I am sending this letter to let you know that I am not in favor of this project.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Nicole Johnson, I attended the site visit at 18549 Devon Ave. and wanted to add my comments to the record before the Planning Commission meeting if possible. Planning Commission, Several years ago the neighbor to the back of my Devon Ave. property proposed a two story home. My visceral reaction to the idea of the neighbor's house towering over me -violating the tranquility I experience when I'm outside -was a shock and hard to explain. It's a feeling I would not wish on anyone, and so, I know how the neighbors feel surrounding the proposed two story at 18549 Devon Ave. I bring this up as a reminder not to diminish those feelings. I would like to see the process changed so that neighbors discuss their two-story ideas before they plop down their money on an architect. After spending $10,000 on plans it's very hard to abandon your project. And invariably the affected neighbors feel ambushed when they see the story poles go up. Saratoga was founded on the idea of not being San Jose, with Saratoga's 10,000 minimum square foot lots. The city has worked hard to maintain what it can of its semi rural feel with more open vistas, minimum sidewalks, and street lights. Once the building heights go up, we are only left to minimize the effects with limiting window sizes and planting foliage. The vistas and open feeling is gone. Privacy diminished. Community disrupted.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Nicole Johnson, Planning Department City of Saratoga, CA I am against the project proposed for 18549 Devon Ave. for the following reasons: 1.A two story 24 foot high structure would set a detrimental precedent in our bucolic neighborhood where most of the houses are single story and don't obstruct the skyline. 2.The neighbors would be negatively impacted and lose their precious privacy. Therefore, I do hope you will decline this proposal.

This is how our city is described on the Saratoga website. We are the owners of, and live on, Devon Ave, in Saratoga. We are writing to you regarding the proposed 3,089 square foot two-story home on 18549 Devon Ave. (389-13-044) Bennett Chan. Keeping Saratoga's Single-Family Residential Design Review Handbook in mind, we would like to bring some issues to your attention that are in conflict with this handbook, before you consider approving this project. The General Plan represents the community's objectives for its future, which includes the goal to maintain the predominantly small town residential character of Saratoga, assuring that new construction is compatible with the site and the adjacent surroundings. This is precisely why we chose to buy our home in this particular neighborhood. We currently see only the rooftops of our neighbors homes, which affords us the feeling that we are in a semi-rural neighborhood with views of nearby open spaces. Our neighborhood has always been unique, with views of the skyline and a feeling of privacy. We have lived here since 1985 and have seen the changes in our neighborhood as old homes have been torn down and new ones built. This neighborhood is comprised of mostly single story homes, the new ones with higher roof lines, but tastefully designed and compatible with the look of the neighborhood. The overall height and mass of the proposed structure on 18549 Devon Ave. is not in scale with the surrounding neighborhood. The few existing two-story homes in this neighborhood were built decades earlier, before Saratoga had a modern planning department with design guidelines. These homes are not well integrated into the neighborhood nor do they meet the intent of the Residential Design Handbook, and therefore applicants should design structures to meet these guidelines rather than pointing to examples in the City that do not. If this massive project is allowed to proceed, it will set a precedent for future projects, that will change the look of our neighborhood to mirror the Bellgrove neighborhood on Saratoga Ave. and the Dorcich neighborhood on Quito Rd. These two adjacent neighborhoods differ distinctly from our neighborhood, in that all of these homes are two-story structures. As stated in the handbook: "Modernization of the City's aging housing can be done in a manner that recognizes and respects the unique features and characteristics of each neighborhood." 84 85 CITY OF SARATOGA Memorandum To: Saratoga Planning Commission From: Nicole Johnson, Senior Planner Date: February 8, 2023 Subject: 18549 Devon Avenue. - Supplemental Attachment 4 The City received the following public comments following agenda publication.

Planning Commission Comments Form Your Name Dermot Fallon Phone Number Email Address Comments With regard to Application PDR21-0009/ARB21-0089. We live at 18561 Devon Ave , straight across from proposed development. Devon Ave is composed solely of single storey homes. The new developments that have been completed or are occurring on our street are all single storey homes with the exception of this one. This house design will invade our privacy as the occupants will be able to see into our back garden. We support Mr Chan's desire to build a multi generational new home on the property but we believe this can be achieved in a single storey design which is in keeping with the rest of the properties. I grew up in a multi generational home that was single story, my grandmother lived with my parents for 37 years , so I know it works. Regards Dermot Fallon Email not displaying correctly?
