Staff revised this table from the one in the attached Planning Commission staff report to include the new floor area numbers and to improve its clarity. House Size Concerns regarding the size of the proposed home and its conformance with the policies of the Happy Valley Specific Plan have been expressed to staff and/or to the Planning Commission by Alex and LaVerne Sportono (6620 Alisal Street), Kevin Clouse and Vanessa Kawaihau (871 Sycamore Road), and Jerry Wagner (6344 Alisal Street), which are attached. The neighbors mentioned above believe that the proposed home does not comply with the floor area ratios established by the Happy Valley Specific Plan. The residential portion ofthe Callippe Golf Course was part of the original Happy Valley Specific Plan and Callippe Golf Course PUD development plan approvals. The Happy Valley Specific Plan incorporated design standards for its various planning areas, which included the Golf Course residential lots. However, the Spe- cific Plan's design standards did not include numerical standards for parcel size, floor area ratios, building setbacks, etc., leaving those standards to the PUD development plan review. The Happy Valley Specific Plan did specify a maximum FAR for the Sportono property of 25% for two-story homes and 40% for one-story homes. The City Council specified the maximum FAR of 25% for the one- and two-story homes on the golf course lots with its approval of the Golf Course PUD development plan. Hence, the FAR for the Golf Course lots, which Mr. Quar- taroli's home conforms to, is more restrictive than the maximum FAR allowed for the nearby Sportono property, which faces some of the golf course lots from across Westbridge Lane. The City anticipated that the homes on the Mariposa Ranch lots would be estate size homes, and both tlte original PUD approval and design guidelines and the subsequent modification to the de- sign guidelines were found by the City Council to be in conformance with the Specific Plan. The neighbors mentioned above believe that the proposed home does not comply with the HVSP goal "To preserve the existing semi-rural character of the neighborhood", stated in the "Overall Goals" section on Page 19 of the HVSP. Staff notes, however, that this issue was addressed in the approval of the Golf Course PUD and its development standards and design guidelines, with which this home would comply. Furthermore, the Golf Course lots are large and surrounded by open space, trails, and views of surrounding hills. Thus, staff and the Planning Commission be- lieve that this goal is met with the proposed home.
