SITE DESCRIPTION The subject property is located at the end of a cul-de-sac in the 21-lot Vineyard Hill subdivision which was developed in 2005. The "pie-shaped" lot measures approximately 25,328 square feet in area. An approximately 3,650-square-foot detached single-family home is located on the subject property. Detached single-family homes surround the property. The allowed uses and site development standards are defined within the PUD, defaulting to the R-1-20,000 zoning district. The FAR established for the site is 20 percent. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The following describes the two applications in question and relevant information about the review process. Administrative Design Review Application The applicants propose to construct a 700-square-foot, detached second unit near the southeast corner of the lot. The applicants have agreed to limit the height of the structure to a maximum of 12 feet, 3 inches tall by lowering the roof pitch from 4:12 to 3.5:12 to lower the building pad grade by one foot and to reduce the size of the covered porch to 250 square feet. The structure would be set back a minimum of 10 feet from the side property line and 14'/2 feet from the rear property line. An uncovered parking space for the second unit would be constructed on the west side of the driveway. The proposed project would result in a total floor area ratio of 17.2 percent where 20 percent is allowed. The proposed structure would match the exterior colors, materials, design, and architectural character of the existing residence. PUD Modification The applicants have requested approval of a Planned Unit Development modification to allow grading and the installation of retaining walls along the rear and side yard slope banks of this property and to allow the relocation of two developer-installed trees along the rear yard slope bank. Processing The Administrative Design Review process is typically an administrative review requiring noticing to the surrounding neighbors. If no opposition to a proposal is received and the proposed project meets the required development standards, the project is approved after the seven-day noticing period. The processing period is generally no greater than two to four weeks. A minor modification to a planned unit development is a staff level review. If no opposition to a proposal is received, the modification is approved with the action forwarded to the Planning Commission and City Council under "Actions of the Zoning Administrator." These projects are typically processed within two to four weeks. If a Page 4 of 12
