Way and the linear park. As conditioned, the applicant would install a sign indicating that the sidewalk is not ADA accessible and identifying the alternate routes. Staff notes that the Planning Commission would have to make the finding that it is not feasible for the public sidewalk to meet ADA standards. View Analyses The North Sycamore Specific Plan stated that, "Project applicants may be required to provide view studies at the planned devel- opment review stage to demonstrate view impacts. Various techniques including lot layout, judicious grading, setbacks, and window placement should be em- ployed in the site planning to minimize view disruption and to maximize privacy." Where building designs would be governed by design guidelines, absent actual design plans, the preparation of accurate view studies is difficult. Staff, therefore, has conditioned the proposed project to provide computer generated view studies with the site-specific design plans. The ap- plicants concur with this recommendation. Design Guidelines The North Sycamore Specific Plan contains general architectural and landscape design guide- lines covering the Low Density Residential development sites. The applicants' proposed design guidelines for the four lots covered by this development plan are attached. Staff considers the guidelines to be well prepared, providing comprehensive direction to the future lot owners re- garding building form, landscaping, on-site paving, etc. Staff recommends the following changes: Permitted and Conditional Uses As conditioned per the North Sycamore Specific Plan, the proposed PUD development plan would be subject to the permitted and conditional uses of the R-I-20,000 (One-Family Residen- tial) District. Development Standards The proposed development standards for these lots are based on the development standards of the R-I-20,000 District. With review of the proposed application, staff and the applicants met or spoke with the Greenes, Ferreiras, and the Bozorgzads regarding the proposed development standards and the modifications to the design guidelines addressing concerns pertaining to build- ing heights, visual massing, special setbacks, etc. The table on the following page compares the proposed development standards with the neighbor-requested changes to the Specific Plan's de- velopment standards stated for these lots.
