Consistent with the NSSP Land Use Designation, the lot has a Low Density Residential General Plan Land Use Designation. A flag lot sits adjacent to the west (left side) and south (rear) of the lot that is zoned PUD-MDR (Medium-Density Residential). With the exception of the adjacent flag lot, all of the surrounding lots along Sycamore Road are zoned PUD-A or PUD-LDR/A. The existing houses in the neighborhood are both one- and two-story and sited with large setbacks. The subject 57,738-square-foot (approximately 1 .33-acre) lot is generally flat with very little topography change across the lot and significant vegetation around and on the lot. The property contains an approximately 1,016-square-foot single-story house and 701-square-foot detached garage, as seen in Figure 2. Figure 2: Existing Front Elevation ` •. r s ti t .1lL • • T • • Proposed Project The applicant proposes to construct an approximately 5,059-square-foot, two-story single-family residence to the rear (south) of the existing residence and garage on the site. The existing residence on-site is proposed to remain and be converted to an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). The proposed home will be set back a considerable distance (i.e., 174-feet) from the front property line and maintain generous setbacks on the remaining sides. The proposed residence will use a variety of materials including bevel channel siding, corrugated metal, and reclaimed wood, which can be further reviewed in the attached Project Plans, Exhibit B. The proposal includes the removal of 28 trees (16 of which are currently dead) including one heritage tree. The dead trees proposed for removal are the perimeter redwood trees that were required by PCUP-205. The water tank approved by PCUP-205 is proposed to remain on-site. The tree removal is further detailed in the attached arborist report, Exhibit D. The proposal also includes an extensive landscape plan which includes the planting of approximately 50 trees including multiple 24-inch Coast Live Oaks; it also includes PUD-131, 481 Sycamore Rd.
