Figure 14: A "Stepped" House Designed Within a Slope Plane. The building designs for these lots will be controlled by design guidelines. As conditioned, computer generated view studies will be provided with the lot- specific design plans where the visual impacts of the homes will be evaluated for location, form, and massing and where, if necessary, the structure can then be modified. Copies of these analyses with the design plans and conditions will be forwarded to the Planning Commission. The Foothill Road Corridor Overlay District provides flexibility under Section 18.78.050, below: The reviewing boards, commissions and officials may approve projects which do not comply with strict technical standards of this chapter upon making a finding that the design of the project as a whole is consistent with the highly aesthetic, rural character of the Foothill Road corridor." Staff considers the sloping plane method of measuring building height to be consistent with the rural character of the Foothill Road corridor. Green Building Measures The minimum City standard for new single family homes is 50 LEED points with a minimum of 10 points in each category (Resources, Energy, and IAQ/ Health). The homes of this project are required to achieve a minimum 100 green points. The green building program for these homes would be submitted with the design applications. View Analyses Exhibit F are the view analyses of the previous six -lot development are attached showing the before /after views of the six -lot project from various vantage points. The Planning Commission reviewed the analyses but did not comment. Item 6.b., PUD- 87- 19 -03M Page 26 of 37 April 28, 2010
