Commission, the maximum building area would be less than the existing homes on the same side of Sycamore Road in the Bridle Creek development, and, as described below, would result in buildings in scale with the site and its surrounding. In staff's view, the proposed maximum building area is acceptable. 2. Setbacks: The applicant's revised plans would meet the following setbacks: a. A minimum 70-foot setback from the front property line along Sycamore Road; and b. A 60-foot setback from the westerly property line, or 35 feet from the eastern edge of Dale Way (Dale Way is 25 feet in width). Staff Analysis: Staff continues to find the proposed front yard setback is sufficient, and the proposed additional 10 feet setback from Dale Way would provide for a more generous separation between the proposed residence and trail users. 3. Design Guidelines/Building Massing and Scale: The proposed home on Lot 1 meets the following development standards and design criteria: a. Second-floor floor area is just under 40 percent (approximately 39.6%) of the first- floor floor area. This would meet the proposed Guidelines' requirement for the second-floor floor area to not exceed 40 percent of the first-floor floor area; and b. All proposed structures, including the pool, would be located within the defined building envelope area. Staff Analysis: The proposed PUD Design Guidelines and Standards (see Attachment B) have considered the appropriate building mass and bulk for the home on Lot 1. As such, it proposes to limit the second-floor area to be no more than 40 percent of the first-floor area and the walls that are set back from the first-floor walls or the second floor be integrated into the roof of the house, such as use dormers for windows. Additionally, the design guidelines require the visual prominence of garage doors should be minimized. The applicant prepared visual exhibits to demonstrate street views of a proposed house on Lot 1 (see Attachment C). Figure 1 is a photo simulation of the proposed home based on the above-described primary structure and accessory buildings on Lot 1. The image is taken from Alisal Street and includes an existing home to the far left. Figure 1: View from Alisal Street near Minnie Drive, Looking North k.

The proposed 15% FAR, inclusive of garage area over 600 square feet on Lot 1 would allow for a total maximum building area of 5,780 square feet. As suggested by the Planning Under the current State Law, an ADU less than 800 square feet could be constructed even if the new residence is built to the maximum allowable square footage for the site. The lot areas include a 60-foot wide public access and storm drain easement along the rear property lines.
