To:
Mayor and City Councilmembers
Chairman and Planning Commissioners
Steve Piasecki, Director of Community Developme~
From:
Date: February 27, 2002
Application No.: DIR-2002-03
Subject: Report of Director's Decision Regarding a Minor Modification to a single-
family home in the P(Res 4.4-12) (Planned Residential 4.4-12 units/acre)
zone on 21836 Stevens Creek Boulevard in the Monte Vista area.
Chapter 19.132 of the Cupertino Municipal Code allows for administrative approval of
minor changes in a project The Director reports his decision to the City Council and
Planning Commission in time to allow any Councilmember or Planning
Commissioner to appeal the decision within fourteen calendar days.
Action Taken
The Director approves the modification. This approval of the modification is effective February
27,2002. The fourteen calendar day appeal period will expire on March 14, 2002.
Discussion
The property is in a planned single-family residential development in the Monte Vista area. The
property is zoned P(Res4.4-12) (Planned Residential Development Single-family at 4.4-12
units/acre). Since these lots are smaller than the average single-family lots, lesser setbacks,
greater lot coverage and lesser parking requirements than that required in single-family zones
may be approved as part of a Use Permit procedure. In the event that applicant's parcel is in
keeping with the requirements with the single-family zone, the Community Development
Director may approve the plans and the Use Permit is not necessary. The proposed house is
consistent with Section 19.28 R-1 Single-family Residential Zones.
The existing home built on a 5000sq.ft. lot is a small stucco ranch-style home with an area of
1042 square feet (induding the garage). The applicant proposes to demolish the existing
structure and replace it with a new single story home. The new house will have an area of 1833
sq.ft. house and a 417 sq.ft. garage. The total building area will be 2250 sq-ft. with an FAR of
45%. The proposed building is consistent with the single-family zoning code, in terms of FAR,
height and setbacks. The proposed design is a single-story with a hip roof and a front stoop.
The building will have a beige stucco exterior with white wood trim and a slate-style concrete
tile roof and will be compatible with the existing and neighboring homes in the area. Staff
considers the project generally consistent with the single-family code and land use regulations
for the Monte Vista area.

accommodate the need, and major structural upgrading is required. However, Mr. &Mrs.

They are trying their best to contribute to the community with carefuHy designed new
house, not only satisfying their need, but also enhancing the existing streetscape and
surroundings,
Project Features - The Design
] , Building Form -the building form remains the simple one-story house sc~le and
profile. I-lipped roof recesses the mass of the building, accented with gable style roofs
at front; various eave heights address the diversity of elevation and building functions
- the lower part for the garage, and higher part for the raised living area; pilasters vvith
the arched recessed entrance porch forms the focus point of the front elevation, The
side and rear elevation is considered as the continuation of the design, recessed side
wall, projected fireplace and bay window, create shads and shadows, breaking the
long wall line.
2. Materials & Colors -the basic building materials include concrete tiled roof, stucco
finished exterior walL and wood trims at cave and around openings. The roof tile is
flat style, similar to slate and shake roof. There are two color schemes proposed for
the roof color. Color scheme #1 is dark red/brown color, using Eagle Tile 'Bel-Air
#4538' or similar, color scheme #2 is blue/gray blended color, using Eagle Tile 'Bel-
Air #4697' or similar. Both schemes are suitable to either existing housing style of
surrounding, or preferred Monta Vista Design Guideline. The exterior wall is a light
beige paint over the three-coat stucco, using Behr 'True Impression PPOC30U' or
similar, throughout the entire building. All the wood trims will be painted off white,
including eave board and gutter, the windowsill, header and molding around.
3, Decorating Oetailingthe various wood trims are used thoroughly on the elevations.
The eave board and cornice set the layers to define the edge of the roof and waU, and
act as a band to horizontally tying difJerent building elements together. "rhe
windowsill and header are designed as Victorian style, combined with the side
1110lding, it roles as a picture frame for all window and door openings,
