2. Appropriate relationship of the proposed building to its site, including transition with streetscape, public views of the buildings, and scale of the buildings within its site and adjoining buildings. • The massing is incompatible with other homes in the neighborhood. This would be largest home on the street and its size is incongruous with other homes in the neighborhood (the proposed FAR would be 38.2% and other homes on Yellowstone Court range from 20.7% to 36.5%. • Increasing the number of bedrooms within the home would likely result in the need for additional parking on a site that does not have the capacity to accommodate it, adversely affecting the availability of parking on Yellowstone Court. 3. Appropriate relationship of the proposed building and its site to adjoining areas, including compatibility of architectural styles, harmony in adjoining buildings, attractive landscape transitions, and consistency with neighborhood character. • The architectural styling is not carried around four sides of the building, and architectural details (e.g., window trim, cladding) are not consistent with the generally high-quality of detailing in the neighborhood. Furthermore, this lack of detailing exacerbates the perception of building mass from public viewpoints along Yellowstone Court. 4. Preservation of views enjoyed by residents, workers within the City, and passerby through the community. • More appropriate landscaping would be necessary to enhance the proposed design and break up massing from the street and surrounding homes. 7. Architectural style, as a function of its quality of design and relationship to its surroundings; and the relationship of building components to one another and the building's colors and materials. • The project would be incompatible with the architectural character of the area based on the level of detail provided by the project plans. DISCUSSION Appeal of the Planning Commission Decision The Planning Commission's action was subsequently appealed to the City Council by the applicants/appellants on September 6, 2017. The applicant/appellants statement indicates their belief that they have fully complied with the design direction provided by the Planning Commission and have redesigned the project to fully address any neighborhood concerns related to design.
