THE CITY OF <br /> ATTACHMENT 6 <br /> : L. <br /> f_I _n :Ili -u- 1_ 1 <br /> LE ASANTON® <br /> PLANNING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDED <br /> CHANGES TO THE TASK FORCE'S PROPOSED <br /> AMENDMENTS <br /> Downtown Specific Plan <br /> Task Force's recommended Policy No. 8: <br /> 8. Compatibility of new single-family homes or modifications to existing single-family <br /> homes with the immediate neighborhood (i.e., single-family homes on lots within <br /> 150 feet of the subject lot) relative to mass and bulk shall be assumed if the <br /> proposed FAR does not exceed the average FAR of the single-family homes in the <br /> immediate neighborhood by more than 25 percent. In computing the average FAR, <br /> only single-family detached homes in PUD and non-PUD zoning districts in the <br /> Downtown Specific Plan Area shall be used. The above compatibility standard <br /> does not apply to new single-family homes in PUD zoning districts or modifications <br /> to existing single-family homes in PUD zoning districts. <br /> Exceptions can be granted to this compatibility standard if the specific house design <br /> is determined to offset issues created by FAR above this standard or if a <br /> representative sample of the neighborhood cannot be obtained using the 150 ft. <br /> distance, as determined by the Director of Community Development. In no case <br /> shall exceptions be granted to exceed zoning restrictions on FAR. However, <br /> variances may be granted subject to required findings and established processes. <br /> The Planning Commission directed that the Specific Plan's existing residential <br /> compatibility language be retained. Based on this direction, staff created the following <br /> new policy that would replace Task Force's Policy No. 8: <br /> 8. New residential building design, including the design of replacement buildings for <br /> buildings constructed before 1942 which are approved for demolition, or additions <br /> to existing single-family homes should result in homes that are consistent with the <br /> floor area, bulk, and massing of homes in the immediate neighborhood. <br /> Downtown Design Guidelines <br /> Task Force's recommended Residential Design Guideline (Height and Mass bullet two <br /> on page 35): <br /> • The mass and bulk of new single-family homes and additions to existing single- <br /> family homes are to be compatible with homes in the immediate area. Compatibility <br /> of new single-family homes or modifications to existing single-family homes with the <br /> immediate neighborhood (i.e., single-family homes on lots within 150 feet of the <br /> subject lot) relative to mass and bulk shall be assumed if the proposed FAR does <br /> not exceed the average FAR of the single-family homes in the immediate <br /> neighborhood by more than 25 percent. In computing the average FAR, only <br />
