The immediate neighborhood is predominately older, ranch style, one to 2-1 Arch. Plans for 21947 Lindy Lane Page 2 July 22, 2008 two story homes. Newer dwellings are all larger, two-story homes with a variety of architectural styles and building finishes. Most of the homes in this northerly Lindy Lane area are on lots of 20,000 square feet or more. The neighborhood has a semi-rural character without any sidewalks or street lights. The neighborhood of homes on the south side of Lindy Lane are also largely, ranch style, two-story dwellings with a more suburban character because of the regimentation of 10,000 square foot lots along the toe of the slope and larger lots upslope. History . The property is Lot 2 (middle lot) of a 1.6-acre, 3-lot subdivision on Lindy Lane, commonly known as the "Moxley Property", that was approved by the Planning Commission on July 9, 2001. In 2004, the City Council subs~quently approved the final map and subdivision improvement plans. The subdivision created three lots of slightly over 20,000 square feet each. In that same year, the Planning Commission expressed concern about the size of the houses that could be built on the three lots, and discussed the possibility of rezoning the property from its current Rl-20 designation to Residential Hillside. In lieu of the rezoning, Mr. Moxley agreed to a covenant to limit the size of all structures to 5,500 square feet on each lot. The three lots were subsequently sold to different property owners. The owners of Lots 1 and 3 (21949 and 21943 Lindy Lane) were issued building permits for roughly 5,500 square foot homes in 2005 before generally more restrictive R1 zoning ordinance amendments went into effect. Thus, none of the newer homes on Lindy Lane: 21949, 21943 and the adjoining 21951 (building permit issued in 2003) had discretionary single- family design review because all fell below the planning permit thresholds in effect at the time. The construction of each house has been controv~rsial with some neighbors. As a result of site preparation for Lot #2 conducted by the subdivider, five specimen size oaks were removed from Lot #2 - four approved for removal, one not. The replacement requirement in the tentative map was one-for-one with the replacement being a 36" box oak. The five new oaks were planted in 2007 and are shown on the plan set. DISCUSSION Neighborhood Concerns In May 2008, the applicant erected story poles and staff mailed a notice and plans to surrounding property owners within a 300 feet radius, notifying them of the pending residential development. Because of the level of concern about the project, staff continued to refine the design with the applicant and try to address neighbor concerns. 2-2 Arch. Plans for 21947 Lindy Lane Page 3 July 22, 2008 Because of the past history of controversy and the enclosed submitted comments (Exhibit A), the Director elected to refer the plans to the Planning Commission for review and decision. Staff has received letters,emails and telephone calls from nine neighbors with one email of support. The neighborhood concerns are summarized below: .:. Protect redwood trees on property. (Note: There are no redwood trees on this property) .:. Address construction impacts on the neighborhood. .:. Relocate house to protect valley views of house on upper lot (Lot #1). .:. A stepped foundation would conform better to the slope of the land, rather than, the cut and fill that creates a flat pad. .:. Not fond of stone exterior for the entrance. .:. Privacy protection plan should include the front yard to screen views of the house from the south side of Lindy Lane and Lindy Place. .:. Discrepancies in the location of the easterly sideyard retaining wall and the overall wall height is too tall. .:. The proposed house appears to be inconsistent with the letter and intent of the R1 zoning ordinance, which is to enhance the identity of residential neighbors; ensure provision of light, air and a reasonable level of privacy; ensure a reasonable level of compatibility in scale of structures within neighborhoods; and" reinforce the predominantly low-intensity setting in the community. .:. Second floor and balcony shall be consistent with the requirements from the Residential Hillside (RHS) zoning district. .:. Project creates significant and adverse impact to passive solar design and natural lighting. .:. Project will block views of the valley, and sunrise views (from the first floor) during certain times of the year. .:. Project encroaches into the required one-story building envelope, which is measured from natural grade, not finished grade. .:. The mass of the second story is much larger than the second story mass of the adjacent residences and is not compatible. .:. Retaining walls are proposed less than 5 feet from the property line and potentially threaten existing support piers for the uphill property. Please refer to exhibit A for additional details on the neighbors' concerns. Neighborhood Compatibility One of the principal purposes of the R1 Ordinance is to ensure a reasonable level of compatibility in scale of structures within a residential neighborhood. This is basically achieved by having developments adhere to a set of specific development parameters (Le., maximum lot coverage, floor area ratio, building height, second floor to ground floor ratio, building setback, building envelope) to curtail development intensity to a 2-3 Arch. Plans for 21947 Lindy Lane Page 4 July 22,2008 level generally accepted by the community. Typically the City has allowed new homes to be maximized within the approved framework of the R1 Ordinance provided that the design and the style of the home are consistent and/ or compliment the neighborhood. Building permits were issued in 2005 for the Lot 1 (upslope) and Lot 3 (downslope) homes. Both owners elected to build up to the maximum, which is 5,500 square feet and their second-stories were limited to 35% of the first story, which were the zoning rules in effect at the time of construction. The zoning regulations for this area changed in November 2007 and the owner of Lot 2 has elected to build a smaller house (4,500 square feet), set it back from the front driveway, and build a larger second story (74.3% of the first floor), which is allowed by the new zoning amendments. The applicant has modified the design to eliminate its previously heavy appearance and to achieve greater neighborhood compatibility between the older, smaller ranch-style homes and the newer, larger homes of mostly European and modern architectural styles. The concrete tile roof was changed to a lighter slate or clay tile roof. The roof veneer was removed from the turrets and entrance and limited to just the base of the house. Thick balcony balustrades were replaced with the thinner iron-steel railings. The applicant will also be adding fenestrations to the windows to break up overall window sizes. Overall staff believes the applicants will be creating an acceptable balance between the older and newer residences in the neighborhood. Retaining Wall Height & Location The applicant has lowered the building pad three feet to reduce the height of the retaining wall facing the downslope property to 6 feet or under. Retaining walls meet property line setback regulations and will be reviewed, along with the basement and foundation, by the applicant's geotechnical engineer and the City's geologist prior to building permit approval. Lowering the building pad, raises the height of the upslope retaining wall by three feet, but that wall is not visible to the upslope property owner. The R-1 ordinance requires retaining walls in excess of five feet to be screened with landscaping or faced with decorative materials. Construction Activities A construction management plan should be required as part of a building permit application. Construction activities must meet the City noise ordinance and required construction hours. The applicant will address this at the hearing. Light and Air, Obstruction of Passive Solar House Design and Obstruction of Views Compliance with the R-1 building setbacks and building envelopes is by definition providing adequate air and light to adjacent residential parcels. Building separations between Lot 2 and Lot 1 (upslope) is even generally greater than the minimum building setbacks with most of the proposed second story wall length 14 to 17 feet away from the property line and 27-30 feet away from the upslope residence wall. In reviewing Sheet 2-4 Arch. Plans for 21947 Lindy Lane Page 5 July 22, 2008 A-8, the elevation of the second floor of the proposed residence is below the elevation of the first floor of the Lot 1 (upslope) residence. The view from the Lot 1 residence is essentially that of a recessed one-story dwelling. The solar design aspects of the R1 zoning ordinance have been misinterpreted by the neighbors (Exhibit B). While the City may allow variances to setback and height to accommodate passive or active solar equipment or house design, no such modified structure shall infringe upon solar easements or adjoining property owners. There are no solar easements on the properties. The City does not regulate the protection of views in hillside areas (Exhibit C: CMC section 19.40.050(L)). As the plans are proposed the Lot 2 house occupies a middle elevation that maintains or creates a second story view for each of the three adjacent lots. There are no viewshed easements on the properties. Privacy Protection The project is screened from Lindy Lane by the presence of the mature trees downslope from the property and the existing house on Lot 3. The project will be required to adhere to the required privacy protection standards outlined in the R1 Ordinance, which include screening of second story window and balcony views into adjacent side and rear yards. Landscape screening was not required for rear yard views because the rear yard property owner is at a grade elevation above the second floor of the proposed house. The ordinance allows adjacent property owners to waive or modify those landscaping requirements in writing in the event that privacy landscaping is not wanted.

H: ColinjlWord Docs/R-2008-14b.doc 2-8 Page 10f2 Colin Jung From: Luciano V. Daile Ore [Idalleore@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 28,20085:22 PM To: City of Cupertino Planning Dept.; Colin Jung Cc: 'Cristina Daile Ore' Subject: Comments on proposed new residence at 21947 Lindy Lane Dear Mr. Jung These are our comments regarding the new residence at 21947 Lindy Lane. 1. First of all, we would like to let you know that we are very pleased with the process of requiring story poles and neighbors notification. Although this process is more cumbersome and may create initial tensions, if handled in an appropriate way, it is far more preferable than to present the community with a fait-accompli which may result in long term resentment between neighbors. As you may understand, given recent history, a peaceful coexistence is by now of paramount importance for us all. 2. We also understand that the owners have been in conversation with their neighbors over the long week- end regarding possible compromises which may result in alterations of the proposed plan. Since we are extremely supportive of these discussions, we find ourselves in the unenviable position of having to balance our need to be conciliatory in our approach and feedback with our need to formally record our issues. As such, we will list them along with our stated desire that these issues be discussed in a constructive and informal process with the owners rather than through a formal process within City Hall. 3. (We understand this is being addressed) The front of the house does not seem to take into account the fact that the house is placed on a slope - the cut and fill approach appears to result in nesting a "flat land" house on the side of the hill, which does not take advantage of (and actually appears to fight) the topographical features of the lot, and also requires possibly higher retaining walls than necessary. 4. We are not particularly fond of the stone exterior for the entrance. While we understand and respect the fact that these are the owner's choices, we would like to make sure that this has not been an added requirement by the city which may not necessarily reflect the owner's (or for that matter the neighborhood) wishes. 5. The privacy protection planting plan drawings are not completely clear. We would like to confirm that there is a plan to hide the house from the side of the access road and from the residences on the south side of Lindy Lane and Lindy Place by deploying a screen as close as possible to the road. Given that there is a generous front setback, the owners would still be able to preserve the English style impression of the entrance once past the privacy screen, while still protecting whatever is left of the rural character of the north side of Lindy Lane. 6. From the point of view of compromises on size and/or scale, we would have no issues of supporting an expansion of the house up to 5,500 sq ft. and/or increase of height of the two front turrets, as long as privacy concerns are satisfied through the use of appropriate screening and as long as the height and placement are coordinated with the neighbors. We really appreciate the effort that you and the rest of the staff are investing in trying to get our community to worKt-ogmnenoward a peaceful-sotatlon.

I live adjacent at 21943 Lindy Lane, which is the East neighbor. Unfortunately, I am unable to approve the proposed drawings as submitted for the following reasons: 1. There are inaccuracies and discrepancies on the location of the retaining wall in relation to the property line on different pages (there may be other inconsistent depictions, but I only checked a few dimensions). 2. The height and proximity of the proposed retaining wall is of extreme impact - more than 10 feet as drawn on the front elevation and section and only six feet away from the property line 3. Privacy regarding the 2nd floor balcony and landscape screening that has been proposed In reviewing the drawings provided by the city of Cupertino, I found that there are inaccuracies in the distance between the property line and the proposed retaining wall closest to my property. It has been represented as six feet on the Topo and Grading plan, but is reflected as eight or even ten feet on the Elevations and Section, while the dimensional setback still remains at 14 feet 7/8 inch. Thus, it looks like there are different widths of the driveway (area between retaining wall and garage). The scale used on the cross-sections and the elevations provides additional distance depicting more openness between the two properties than what is planned to be built, which is misleading. Based on the dimensions on the topographical plans, there is six feet between the property line and the retaining wall, which creates a very tall retaining wall to be in very close proximity to my property. I have a concern of the location of retaining wall, where it is only six feet from the property line and thus too close to my property. The walkway that I have adjacent to the proposed project sits approximately six feet below the exposed base of the proposed retaining wall. Thus the retaining wall starts at a point that is six feet above the grade of my rear walkway. Ifwe add the six feet starting point, plus the ten feet retaining wall (that is only 6 feet away from the property line) plus an additional 25 feet of house creates 41 feet of structure that is just 15 feet away from the property line (see the attached diagram). With this retaining wall so close to my property, this creates an extreme impact on my property, where anyone who walks the walkway will have a towering structure above them and there will be loss of sunlight along the rear of my house. Instead of a solid-ren-foot retaining wall, other city engineers lypicalty-atlow a four foot retaining wall with an inset of four feet for another four foot retaining wall, and finally another four feet inset and then the retaining wall, so that there can be planting and a stepped scale to the vertical element, not to mention the stepped loading on the walls. The landscaping that is being used to 2-12 screen the vertical element is an Evergreen Creeper Vine, which at the specified size (per a landscaper) can take four to eight years to fill in and soften the wall. If cinder-block is used, a split-face block would soften the wall and provide attachment for the vines, which would be preferred to just a cement wall. The privacy for our property is at issue, since there is insufficient screening for the house. The concern is the 2nd floor balcony will over look my backyard. Three 25-foot high shrubs (which are not called out on the legend) are proposed as well as two IS-gallon plums, but the proposed 2nd floor balcony of my neighbor sits well above the shrub and the plum and thus they will look over these plantings and directly into my backyard. Further, in speaking with a landscaper this shrub typically comes in IS-gallon size and typically start at 4-6 feet tall. The landscaper further stated that these shrubs grow approximately 1-2 feet a year, which translates into 10 to 20 years of growth prior to reaching 25 feet. I am open to recommendations on how to alleviate our pnvacy Issue. I met with Shesha regarding these issues and he committed that he would limit the retaining wall to less than six feet in height, but stated that that he most likely would not be able to move the retaining wall further away from the property line. Even with a six foot retaining wall, there is still a significant narrowing affect because of the close proximity of the retaining wall. We would like to see the retaining wall move further away from the property line and possibly step the retaining wall to eliminate this crowding/towering affect. I am willing to work with Shesha. If revised plans address my all of my concerns satisfactorily, I will with withdraw my objection and approve the revised plan. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (408) 828-1210.

Ms. Mittal and Mr. Mahesh oppose the Application for the reasons set forth herein. While it is our understanding that the "decision" to be made on Thursday, May 29, is not a hearing per se, but instead is a staff-level review of the application, we also understand that it would be appropriate to submit a summary of our issues and concerns with the project. It is our hope that a mutually satisfactory solution that satisfies the letter and intent of the City's ordinances and guidelines can be achieved. Background As you are probably aware, my clients purchased the property at 21949 Lindy Lane in February, 2005, after having conducted a thorough and comprehensive review of the City of Cupertino zoning regulations, discussions with Staff of the Community Development Department, as well as a studied review of the approved plans for not only their site, but the adj acent site which is now the subj ect of this application for design reVIew. Ms. Mittal is a licensed Architect, and she took extraordinary measures to design her property not only to conform to the City's existing design standards, but also to 2-15 Design Review May 28, 2008 Page 2 incorporate energy efficient design elements to the maximum extent possible. Specifically, Ms. Mittal designed the south eastern exposure to maximize use of passive solar energy for both heating and lighting, as well as created a breezeway design for natural cooling, and took other steps to significantly reduce overall dependence on the use of mechanical heating and cooling systems. The completed design also included elements to take advantage of the wonderful views of the lights of the valley floor, as well as the sunrises during all times of the year. My clients proceeded with the construction of their home with the explicit understanding that zoning regulations implemented on March 1, 2005, imposing a residential hillside overlay on the R1 zoning district in the hillside area, would limit the size of any structure on the adjoining property to around 3,500 sq. ft. and placing a 45% cap on the size of the upper floor (around 1,000 sq. ft.), thus preserving their views and privacy. On April 18, 2008, my clients saw the story poles that had been constructed for the subject parcel, and shortly thereafter, learned for the first time that the City of Cupertino had adopted Ordinance 07-2011, which amended Chapter 19.28 of the Municipal Code to relax the restrictions on development within a IS-lot area. The amendments, it turns out, allowed design plans that were drastically different than the previously approved plans for the subject parcel. The new design plans include a doubling of the second story area (from around 1,000 sq. ft. to over 2,500 sq. ft.), and additional elements that will cause the proposed structure to exceed all reasonable parameters of mass and scale for the parcel. These modifications drastically alter the previously approved design that was the basis of my clients' design. The placement and orieiltation of the elevated portions of the proposed structure will effectively defeat the passive solar design elements incorporated by my clients, and completely obstruct city light views from all living spaces, in direct contravention of the purpose and intent of the Ordinance. Zoning Regulations The proposed development of the subject parcel appears to be inconsistent with the letter and intent of the City's single-family residential development regulations. As set forth in Section 19.28.010, the purpose of the Single Family Residential (R1) zones is to "create, preserve and enhance areas suitable" for development in order to : A. Enhance the identity of residential neighborhoods; B. Ensure provision of light, air and a reasonable level of privacy. .. C. Ensure a reasonable level of compatibility in scale of structures within residential neighborhoods; D. Reinforce the predominantly low-intensity setting in the community. 2-16 Design Review May 28, 2008 Page 3 Section 19.28.050, which was amended by Ordinance 07-2011 in October, 2007, expressly identifies the hillside area within which the subject parcel is located, and provides that any second floor area and balcony "shall be consistent with the requirements from the Residential Hillside (RHS) Zoning District (Chapter 19.40). This Ordinance also provides that the purpose of the RHS zoning district is to regulate development commensurate with community goals as set forth in the General Plan, and to ensure that utilization of land for residential uses is balance with the need to conserve natural resources and protect life and property from natural hazards. Toward that objective, the purpose of the RHS regulations includes the following: B. Ensure the provision of light and air to individual residential parcels; C. Ensure a reasonable level of compatibility in scale of structures within residential neighborhoods; D. Maintain a special relationship between structures and within neighborhoods; E. Reinforce the predominantly low-intensity setting of the community; F. Maintain a balance between residential development and preservation of the natural hillside setting. Pursuant to Section 19.40.130, the Director of Community Development is empowered to make reasonable interpretations of the regulations and provisions of the RHS Ordinance, "consistent with the legislative intent thereof." (~19.40.130). In reviewing an application for a Minor Residential Permit, the Director can approve, conditionally approve, or deny the application. The application can be approved only if the Director makes all of the following fmdings: 1. The project is consistent with the Cupertino General Plan, any applicable specific plans, zoning ordinances and the purposes of this title. 2. The granting of the permit will not result in a condition that is detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity, and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare. 3. The proposed project is harmonious in scale and design with the general neighborhood. 4. Adverse visual impacts on adjoining properties have been reasonably mitigated. (~19.28.090). 2-17 Design Review May 28, 2008 Page 4 Violations of Zoning Ordinance My clients respectfully submit that the proposed development of the subject parce110cated at 21947 Lindy Lane does not conform with either the letter or the intent of the above-references provisions of the City's zoning regulations. 1. Project creates significant and adverse impact to passive solar design. Both the R1 and RHS zoning ordinances expressly state that a fundamental purpose of the respective ordinances is to ensure provision oflight and air. As noted previously, the dwelling at 21949 Lindy Lane was deliberately designed by Ms. Mittal to maximize the potential for passive solar heating, and to maximize the use of natural lighting with the southern exposure. The placement of the story poles made it suddenly apparent that the revised plans for the subject parcel would significantly and adversely impact these features which were carefully designed in reliance on the previous1y- approved plans. Not only will the proposed project significantly reduce my clients' access to passive solar energy and natura11ighting, but their access to views of the lights of the valley and to views of the sunrises during certain times of the year will be obliterated. Moreover, the mass depicted by the story poles do not include the elevated, second-story covered deck. Here, the Design Guidelines are fairly explicit, stating, in pertinent part, as follows: Solar Design.. The setback and height restrictions provided in this chapter may be varied for a structure utilized for passive or active solar purposes, provided that no such structure shall infringe upon solar easements or adjoining property owners. (~19.28.060(I)(Emphasis added). One need only review the proposed mass and scale of the proposed structure to see immediately that it would severely impact the passive solar features so carefully and thoughtfully incorporated in the design of the uphill property by Ms. Mittal. 2. Project is not harmonious in scale and design with the adjoining properties. There are several indicia of possible violations of the design guidelines that relate to the overall massing and scale of the proposed structure. For one, the City's ordinance provides a limitation of a maximum exterior wall height measured from the natural grade measured at the property line, and a twenty-five degree roofline angle measured from the ten-foot high line. (~19.28.060(G)(2)(a)). As seen in the diagrams distributed to the neighbors, the building envelope exceeds these restrictions by several feet, in some instances because the measurements were taken from the finished pad, and not the natural grade. In addition, the project includes a covered, SOO-square foot upper story deck that adds a significant amount of mass to the second story that is not depicted bv the story poles. 2-18 Design Review May 28, 2008 Page 5 The lower lot (Lot 3) has a 1200 sq. ft. upper story. The upper lot (my clients' lot) has 1300 sq. ft. of upper story. The proposed project will have a 2,500 sq. ft. upper story mass (including the covered deck not depicted by the story poles). Because of previously imposed restrictions, the predominant size ofthe upper stories were limited to around 35% of the lower story mass. 3. Retaining Walls are provo sed less than 5 feet from prolJertv line. and potentially threaten existing support piers for the uphill property. The proposed drawings depict a series of lightwell retaining walls located less than 5 feet from the property line - in violation of the minimum setback requirements. Section 19.28.060(F) specifically states that the minimum side setback for a lightwell retaining wall shall be five feet. Of equal concern to my clients, it is anticipated that the installation of these retaining walls will require extensive digging and excavation in and around the area where my clients placed the support piers for their property. Section 19.28.100(D), which sets forth the required findings for approval ofa two-story residential permit, includes a finding that: The granting of the permit will not result in a condition that is detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity, and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare. (~19.28.100(D)(2)). Here, the slope of the land approaches a 30% grade. In addition to their concern over the generous allowance that permits the homeowner the right to grade up to 2,500 cubic yards on a lot that measures less than one-half acre, my clients are extremely concerned that the tJ::enching and grading necessary to locate the lightwell retaining walls this close to their property poses a serious risk of failure of the hillside integrity. 4. Based on the proposed design of the proiect. the Director cannot make all of the necessary findings required under the Municipal Code. Section 19.28.090 sets forth the findings that the Director of Community Development must make - and must make all of them - in order to approve an application for a Minor Residential Permit. As explained herein, the project is not consistent with the Cupertino General Plan, the zoning ordinances, and the stated purposes of Title 19. Approval of the permit will very likely result in a condition that is detrimental or injurious to property or improvements on the adjoining lot, and in the event of major slope failure, could pose a real risk to the public health, safety and welfare. The project, with its mass and scale, is clearly not harmonious with the other structures in the neighborhood, especially with a second story that is at least twice the size of the second story elements of the properties on either side. Furthermore, the adverse visual impacts, as well as the adverse impacts on the passive solar elements of the uphill property, have not been reasonably mitigated. 2-19 Design Review May 28, 2008 Page 6 Conclusion My clients respectfully therefore request that the proposed application be denied for the reasons set forth herein, and that the project applicants be directed to return with an application that meets both the letter and intent of the City of Cupertino General Plan and zoning regulations. Request for Notice and Copies of Documents In addition, I request that you place my law office on the distribution list for all notices of any actions related to this matter. Further, I request that I be provided with copies of any and all letters, e-mails and other documents which have been submitted in connection with the pending application for the subject parcel. Respectfully submitted, ~~ cc: Colin lung, Senior Planner Charles Kilian, City Attorney Clients 2-20 Colin Jung From: Sent: To: Subject: ronberti@comcast.net Monday, July 14, 200810:00 AM Colin Jung 21947 Lindy Lane Hi Colin I received a letter last week from the Planning Department to the effect that there's a hearing on 21947 Lindy Lane on July 22nd. Unfortunately~ I will be out of town on that day. I assume that this is largely a pro forma event, that the plans have largely been signed off and validated as consistent with city policy. The one question I have is that one agenda item addresses a side facing second story balcony. I'm curious if the balcony faces southeast or southwest, which is the only circumstance in which I really care. You may know that this new home will look directly at mine across the small Lindy Lane valley. Perhaps we could have a short discussion this week? You can call my cell (408) 515-5111. Looking forward to hearing from you. Ron Berti 11406 Lindy Place 1 2-21 R\ o~c\~~LR... 19.28.060 Cupertino - Zoning EXHIBIT B 5. The perimeter of the basement and all lightwell retaining walls shall be treated andlor reinforced with the most effective root barrier measures, as determined by the Director of Community Development. G. Height. 1. Maximum Building Height. The height of any principal dwelling in an R1 zone shall not exceed twenty- eight feet, not including fireplace chimneys, antennae or other appurtenances. 2. Building Envelope (One Story). a. The maximum exterior wall height and building height on single-story structures and single-story sections of two-story structures must fit into a building envelope defmed by: 1. A ten-foot high vertical line from natural grade measured at the property line; 2. A twenty-five-degree roof line angle projected inward at the ten-foot high line referenced in subsection G(2)(a)(1) of this section. b. Notwithstanding the building envelope in subsection G(2)(a) of this section, a gable end of a roof enclosing an attic space may have a maximum wall height of seventeen feet to the peak of the roof as measured from natural grade, or up to twenty feet with a Minor Residential Pernrit. . 3. Second Story Wall Heights. Fifty percent of the total perimeter length of second story walls shall not have exposed wall heights greater than six feet; and shall have a minimum two-foot high overlap of the adjoining first story roof against the second story wall. The overlap shall be structural and shall be offset a minimum of four feet from the first story exterior wall plane. a. The Director of Community Development may approve an exception to this regulation based on the fmdings in Section 19.28.110 D. 4. Entry Feature Height. The maximum entry feature height shall be fourteen feet. 5. Areas Restricted to One Story. The City Council may prescribe that all buildings within a designated area be limited to one story in height (not exceeding eighteen feet) by affixing an "i" designation to the R1 zoning district. H. Second Story Decks. All new or expanded second story decks with views into neighboring residential side or rear yards shall fIle for a Minor Residential Pernrit, subject to Section 19.28.090, in order to protect the privacy of adjoining properties. The goal of the pernrit requirement is not to require complete visual protection' but to address privacy protection to the greatest extent while still allowing the construction and use of an outdoor deck. This section applies to second-story decks, patios, balconies, or any other similar unenclosed features. 1. A second-story deck or patio may encroach three feet into the front setback for the principal dwelling. 2005 S-4 2. The miitimum side-yard setback shall be fifteen feet. 3. The minimum rear-yard setback shall be twenty feet. I. Solar Design. The setback and height restrictions provided in this chapter may be varied for a structure utilized for passive or active solar purposes, provided that no such structure shall infringe upon solar easements or adjoining property owners. Any solar structure that requires variation from the setback or height restrictions of this . chapter may be allowed only upon issuance of a Minor Residential Pernrit subject to Section 19.28.090.. (Ord. 1954, (part), 2005; Ord. 1868, (part), 2001; Ord. 1863, (part), 2000; Ord. 1860, ~ 1 (part), 2000; Ord. 1834, (part), 1999: Ord. 1808 (part), 1999; Ord: 1799 ~ 1, 1998; Ord. 1784, (part), 1998; Ord. 1637, (part), 1993; Ord. 1635, (part), 1993; Ord. 1630, (part), 1993; Ord. 1601, Exh. A (part), 1992) 19.28.070 Landscape Requirements. To mitigate privacy impacts and the visual mass and bulk of new two-story homes and additions, tree and/or shrub planting is required. The intent of this section is to provide substantial screening within three years of the planting. A. Applicability. This requirement shall apply to new two-story homes, second-story decks, two-story additions, or modifications to the existing second-story decks or existing windows on existing two-story homes that increase privacy impacts on neighboring residents. Skylights, windows with sills more than five feet above the finished second floor, windows with permanent, exterior louvers up to six feet above the finished second floor, and obscured, non-openable windows are not required to provide privacy protection planning. B. Privacy Planting Plan. Proposals for a new two- story house or a second story addition shall be accompanied by a privacy planting plan which identifies the location, species and canopy diameter of existing and proposed trees or shrubs. 1. New trees or shrubs shall be required on the applicant's property to screen views from second-story windows. The area where planting is required is bounded by a thirty-degree angle on each side window jamb. The trees or shrubs shall be planted prior to issuance of a fmal occupancy pernrit. a. New tree or shrubs are not required to replace existing trees or shrubs if an Internationally Certified Arborist or Licenses Landscape Architect verifies that the existing trees/shrubs have the characteristics. of privacy planting species, subject to approval by the Director or Community Development. 2-22 \<. ~s o~ ~\ Nt.M.UJ..-. 19.40.050 Cupertino - Zoning Exhibit C feet on lots which are greater than one acre. The setback shall be measured from the top of bank of the watercourses or from existing riparian vegetation. whichever is greater. The setback from riparian vegetation will be measured from the drip line perimeter. I. Development Near Prominent Ridge1ines. 1. The development of new, independent structures shall not disrupt a fifteen percent site line from a prominent ridge as identified in Appendix A. The fifteen percent site line shall be measured from the top of ridge at the closest point from the structure. 2. Additions to legally existing homes located within the fifteen percent site line of a prominent ridgeline may not further encroach into the site line, e.g., the addition may not add height or bulk which may increase the disruption to the fifteen percent ridgeline site line. 3. Should these requirements become impractical, alternatives will be considered through the exception process. J. Development on Slopes of Thirty Percent or Greater. 1. Site plans for all development proposals shall include topographical information at contour intervals not to exceed ten feet and a horizontal map scale of one inch equals two hundred feet or larger. Areas where slopes exceed thirty percent shall be identified on the site development plan. 2. No structure or improvements shall occur on slopes greater than thirty percent unless an exception is granted or unless no more than five hundred square feet of development. including grading and structures, occurs on an area with a slope greater than thirty percent. K. Trail Linkages. 1. Among other items required to be identified on the site plan, the site plan shall identify trail linkages as shown in the General Plan Trail Plan, on and adjacent to the site. 2. If a trail linkage, as shown in the General Plan Trail Plan, is identified across a property being developed, no development shall take place within that area except if approved through the exception process. L. Views and Privacy. It is not the responsibility of City Government to ensure the privacy protection of the building pernlit applicant or owners of surrounding properties that may be affected by the structure under construction. However. the Director of Community Development may confer with the building permit applicant to discuss alternate means of preventing privacy intrusion and preserving views. (Ord. 1725, (part), 1996; 000.1658, (part), 1995; Ord. 1634, (part), 1993) 19.40.060 Building Coverage, Setbacks and Height Restrictions. All. provisions of this section may be deviated from upon an exception granted by the Planning Commission in accordance with Section 19.40.140. A. Floor Area. l.a. For lots with less than ten thousand square feet of net lot area the maximum floor area ratio shall be forty-five percent of the net lot area. Formula: A =;: 0.45 B A = Maximum allowable house size. B = Net lot area. b. For lots with more than ten thousand square feet of net lot area the maximum floor area shall be four thousand five hundred square feet plus 59.59 square feet for every one thousand square feet over ten thousand square feet of net lot area. In all cases the maximum floor area shall not exceed six thousand five hundred square feet without an exception. Formula: A = ((B-10,OOO)/I,OOO)(59.59) + 4,500 A = Maximum allowable house size prior to instituting the maximum 6,500 square foot building size. R = Net lot area. 2. Lots Within Clustered Subdivisions Containing Common Open Space. Lots within clustered subdivisions in which land is reserved as common open space, may count a: proportionate amount of the reserved private open space for calculating the allowable house size, except that no developable lot would be subject to greater than a forty-five- percent floor area ratio prior to slope consideration. The average slope of a lot within a clustered subdivision shall be calculated on the developable lot. 3. Slope Adjustment Criteria. For lots with an average slope greater than ten percent. the allowable floor area, prior to instituting the maximum six thousand five hundred square foot allowable building size, shall be reduced by one and one-half percent for each percent of slope over ten percent. For lots with an average slope over thirty percent the allowable floor area shall be reduced by a constant thirty percent. Formula: C = A= A x (1-(1.5 x (D - 0.1))) Maximum allowable house size based on subsection 1 above prior to instituting the maximum . 6,500 square foot building size. Maximum allowable building for lots with greater than 10% average slope. Average percent slope of net lot area.
