Whether streets, buildings, and other manmade structures have been designed and located in such a manner to complement the natural terrain and landscape. The proposed project does not include the extension of any new public streets. The subject lot is relatively flat and thus the proposed residence does not require extensive grading and does not contrast the natural terrain. The Planning Commission finds the proposal is sensitive to existing landscaping, maintaining a majority of the mature vegetation on-site. While a new second-story residence is proposed, given the proposed home's large setbacks, extensive landscaping, and articulated building design the additional height is largely mitigated and the scale is appropriate. The architectural style and detailing of the proposed residence is sixteen (16) inches.
