Ultimately, the report notes the site is suitable for the proposed residence. The Geotechnical Report can be reviewed in further detail in Exhibit C. PROJECT SITE ALTERNATIVES The subject parcel is a legally created lot zoned for residential uses. The proposed home meets the intent of the underlying zoning designation. Alternatives include: 1 . A one-story residence; 2. A two-story residence with modified roof forms that reduce the overall height and mass of the proposed home; 3. No project, under which the site would not be developed in the near-term. While Alternatives 1 and 2 would result in a residence with reduced height and mass, the Specific Plan allows two-story residences and, as this is a PUD development plan, the height can be permitted as proposed. Moreover, the proposed residence's large setbacks, extensive landscaping, and articulated building design help mitigate the building height and mass. Alternative 3 is inconsistent with the purpose of the lot which was created for residential purposes and permitting a house on the subject lot is consistent with the Specific Plan. The proposed project represents a reasonable PUD-131, 481 Sycamore Rd. Planning Commission 9 of 11 emi-rural quality of the site. While deviating slightly from the NSSP guideline noted above, staff finds that the proposed fence meets the intent of the NSSP guideline in terms of design and style and will not conflict with the neighborhood, which today reflects a range of different fencing styles and heights. Figure 6 indicates the proposed fencing style and more details can be reviewed in the Landscape Plans in Exhibit B. PUD-131, 481 Sycamore Rd. Planning Commission 8 of 11 e(less 600 sq.ft. of garage).
