Alternative Site Plan Options Staff explored alternative site plan options based on comments received from the neighborhood and are included as Attachment 3 to this report. A summary of each option is below: • Option 5: This option is similar to Option 3 described above and extends the parking area on the north side to eliminate an "island" area, or dead zone. This would require the removal of two existing pine trees, which are in moderate health. The parking area was not extended on the south side to eliminate the "island area", or dead zone, as it would require the removal of two mature Redwood trees. This option provides a total of 24 parking spaces (one van accessible, one accessible, 18 standard size, and 4 compact size parking spaces). The existing parking spaces and striping would be modified to provide two accessible parking spaces. A pedestrian access from the parking lot to the existing rear patio is provided. The existing width of the of the park would be maintained similar to Option 3 but the depth of the park would be reduced to accommodate the new parking lot. • Option 6: This option provides a new parking lot in the front of the property and house adjacent to Santa Rita Road. The existing driveway and curb cut on Santa Rita Road would remain and provide access to the existing rear parking lot and the new front parking lot. Pedestrian access from the public right-of-way to the house would extend across the new parking lot and a vehicle turnaround at the end of the parking lot is shown to prevent a dead- end. This option would require the removal of two Redwood trees along the entrance driveway and other plants and shrubs. The existing rear lot parking spaces and striping would be modified to provide two accessible parking spaces. This option provides a total of 24 parking spaces (one van accessible, one accessible, and 15 standard size parking spaces). • Option 7A and 7B: This option provides a pick-up and drop-off area in the front of the property and house adjacent to Santa Rita Road. In Option A, the existing driveway and curb cut on Santa Rita Road would remain and provide access to the existing rear parking lot and new pick-up and drop-off area in the existing front lawn area. Pedestrian access from the public right-of-way to the house would extend across the pick-up and drop-off area. A second curb cut would be required for vehicles from the pick-up and drop-off area to exit onto Santa Rita Road. In Option B, the new pick-up and drop-off area is placed directly adjacent to Santa Rita Road and vehicles would not drive onto the site. This option would require the removal of three mature Sycamore trees along the frontage. Both options provide a total of nine parking spaces (one van accessible, one accessible, and seven standard parking spaces) and a loading zone. Off-site Parking Options Another option to consider is the use of shared off-site parking as suggested by one of the public speakers at the October 2019 PRC meeting.
