Building Mass
<br /> As proposed, all three new homes fronting Diamond Court are two-story home with the second
<br /> floor being recessed from the first-floor walls (front and rear) and occupying approximately
<br /> 64 percent of the first-floor area. In comparison, the existing two-story homes on Diamond
<br /> Court have the second floor either being further setback from the street or being "nested" in
<br /> roof area. Hence, the second floor on the existing two-story homes are not as prominent as the
<br /> second floor on the proposed homes.
<br /> Staff would like to note, the proposed houses would sit below the street elevation of adjacent
<br /> Diamond Court, with finished floor heights approximately five feet lower than the top of curb.
<br /> This elevation difference may help "lower" the overall building height when viewed from the
<br /> street. Perhaps the applicant should consider to reduce the size of second floor to minimize
<br /> visual impact. Please see Figure 9 the proposed streetview.

<br /> Home Size
<br /> Building mass and home size are often reviewed together when referring to two-story homes.
<br /> In this case, the proposed homes on Lots 1-3 would have the following details:
<br /> Lot No. House FAR
<br /> 1 2,847 sq.ft. 34.5%
<br /> 2 2,847 sq.ft. 34.5%
<br /> 3 2,847 sq.ft. 19.9%
<br /> (Note: Lot 4 is purposely excluded as this discussion does not apply to it.)
<br /> As a comparison, the existing homes across the street have a home size varying from 2,542
<br /> square feet (305 Diamond Court) to 3,368 square feet (6106 Kavala Court/corner lot), and an
<br /> existing FAR varying from 31 percent to 43 percent. The proposed FARs appear comparable
<br /> to those of the existing homes on Diamond Court.
<br /> Discussion Question No. 3: Would the Planning Commission find the proposed architectural
<br /> styles, building mass and house size compatible and comparable with the existing
<br /> neighborhood therefore acceptable to all?
<br /> No development standards or design criteria were submitted for future remodel, expansions,
<br /> and/or reconstruction of the residence on Lot 4 fronting Sycamore Road. The design criteria
<br /> will need to be submitted and address aspects such as architectural style, window and door
<br /> details, exterior finishes, colors, etc. for future remodel/expansion/reconstruction of the existing
<br /> residence on Lot 4. The design criteria for Lot 4 will be presented before the Commission when
<br /> the project returns for a formal recommendation. Additionally, the applicant would need to
