Development Review Findings (DBMC Section 22.48.040)
The design and layout of the proposed development is consistent with the
applicable elements of the City's General Plan, City Design Guidelines, and
development standards of the applicable district, design guidelines, and
architectural criteria for special areas (e.g., theme areas, specific plans,
community plans, boulevards or planned developments):
The design and layout of the proposed single-family residence consisting of
8,328 square feet of floor area; two garages totaling 2,036 square feet of
garage area, and 1,821 square feet of patio areas is consistent with the
City's General Plan, City Design Guidelines and development standards by
complying with all required setbacks and building height. A gradual
transition between the project and adjacent uses is achieved through
appropriate setbacks, building height, landscaping, and window and door
placement.
The proposed new single-family residence incorporates various details and
architectural elements such as clay roof tiles on gable roofs, smooth
textured stucco, stone veneer at the front entrance, limestone walls
throughout the exterior, wooden window and door surrounds, and
appropriate massing and proportion to meet the intent of the City's Design
Guidelines.

boulevard or planned development

enjoyment of neighboring existing or future developments because the use
of the project site is designed for a single-family I home and the surrounding
uses are also single-family homes.
The proposed single-family house will not interfere with vehicular or
pedestrian movements, such as access or other functional requirements of
a single-family home because it complies with the requirements for
driveway widths and exceeds the 'minimum number of required off-street
parking spaces.

of the eclectic neighborhoods in The Country Estates. It is designed In a
Tuscan architectural style with earth -tone shades for the exterior finish to
soften the building's visual impact and assist in preserving the hillside's
aesthetic value. In addition, the new house will not be intrusive to
neighboring homes and not block existing views from adjacent properties
since the properties to the north and south are vacant lots, and the home to
the east has views towards the south.

environment for its occupants and visiting public as well as its neighbors
through good aesthetic use of materials, texture, color, and will remain
aesthetically appealing;
The architectural style of the new single-family home is Tuscan. Consistent
building elements have been achieved through the utilization of similar
architectural features and building materials. The new home will not be
intrusive. to neighboring homes and will be aesthetically appealing by
integrating a variety of materials, such as clay roof tile, stone veneer,
wrought iron railings and doors, wooden trellises attached to the house, and
expansive courtyards and loggias. Earth -tone shades for the exterior finish
are used to soften the building's visual impact and assist in preserving the
hillside's aesthetic value. Also, landscaping is integrated into the site to
complement the massing of the house and blend in with neighboring homes
and the natural environment of the site in order to maintain a desirable
environment.
