EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The proposed project is to construct an approximately 5,059-square-foot, two-story single-family residence with an attached approximately 939-square-foot garage and convert an existing 1,016-square-foot, one-story residence into an Accessory Dwelling Unit. The subject lot is part of the North Sycamore Specific Plan, however, it has never had a PUD development plan approved. As such, the project requires PUD development plan approval. The Planning Commission may recommend approval, approval with conditions, or denial of the application to the City Council. 1 Sleepy Head Lane Planning Commission Page 8 of 8 nia's Green Building Standards Code, "CALGreen." ALTERNATIVES As outlined in the above analysis staff believes the design of the home, as proposed and conditioned, would be compatible with the other homes in the vicinity and not create adverse impacts, and recommends the Planning Commission approve the project as proposed and conditioned. However, alternatives to the proposal that could be considered by the Planning Commission include: 1. Denial of all or part of the application. The Commission may deny the entire project; 2. Approval of the Design Review with modifications. The Planning Commission could approve the Design Review of the home with modifications to the architecture, landscaping, or other site improvement changes. Since staff believes the project will not adversely impact any properties or the surrounding area, that the project has been designed to be compatible with the existing homes in the area and conforms to the PUD-31 site development standards and design guidelines, staff recommends that neither of the two project alternatives above be pursued.
