The applicant's appeal is based on our belief that the Planning Commission erred or abused its discretion in that: The Commission erred in stating that the Commission is restricted only to the immediate neighborhood when considering neighborhood compatibility and cannot consider beyond the immediate neighborhood. • On page 11 of the Residential Design Guidelines, it states "The greatest attention will be given to the immediate neighborhood..." Nowhere does is say only limited to. • The minutes of the January 8"' Planning Council meeting will reflect that Commissioner O'Donnell said that his "basic reason for denying is because of the two stories." • Commissioner Burch said the Commission's "hands get tied when looking at the immediate neighborhood... ". • There are multiple two -story homes directly adjacent to the immediate neighborhood that are larger than the proposed project. (16516 Shannon Rd is 3,409 sq ft. 16336 W. La Chiquita is 3,050 sq ft.) • See attachment for map of the surrounding homes and how many are large two story homes. • When looking at the attached map of the surrounding neighborhood, there are 37 two - story homes with an average of 3,316 square feet. • On the same map, 44 homes are one -story (46% two-story/54% one -story) The Commission refused to consider and acknowledge the church that is directly across the street and stands 45 feet tall. • The church is in the immediate neighborhood. The Town's consulting architect deemed the projects compatible in size and mass of the immediate neighborhood, found them to be well designed with good visual variety and detail. The Town consulting architect had no recommendations for changes to the proposed designs. The Commission erred in stating that the proposed projects are not compatible with the immediate neighborhood. • Of the eight homes in the immediate neighborhood, there are two 2 -story homes. ATTACHMENT 4 • There nothing in the Residential Guidelines that prohibit a 2 -story house. The Residential Design Guideline was followed in how to design a home that is adjacent to a one -story home. • In the design of the projects, the immediate neighborhood properties were heavily considered. • The scale of the projects do not exceed the allowable FAR of immediate neighborhood. • The character of the projects blend with the immediate neighborhood. • High quality materials and craftsmanship are planned with the projects. • The projects were designed with consideration of shadow impacts and the privacy concerns of the immediate neighbors. (The neighbors on both sides of the subject property have voiced their support of the project.) • Access to the garages of the projects were heavily considered in the design. Lot 1 has the driveway setback with the focus on the architectural style of the covered porch and entrance. Lot 2 has the driveway entrance via W. La Chiquita. • Design was to benefit the neighborhood. The Commission erred in not allowing an opportunity for us to make modifications to the project with specific design direction and not allowing us to bring back the projects back to the Planning Commission for review. • The Commission discussed options to the design, but in their denial, did not allow the option. A few other points: The proposed houses meet all of the zoning rules and Residential Design Guidelines as determined by the Town's planning staff and the Town's consulting architect. We are not trying to push the boundaries as defined by the Residential Design Guidelines. 2,613 square feet of the lot is being used to create a sidewalk and curved border on the corner of Shannon Rd and W. La Chiquita. • This sidewalk and border will create a nice looking facade to the neighborhood. • The sidewalk and border will create a higher level of safety of the kids going to the schools and Blossom Hill Park. • If the sidewalk was not put in, and if the 2,613 square feet was used in the calculations of the FAR, the figures would be lower. This neighborhood is an evolving neighborhood. It is comprised of many eclectic architecturally mixed homes with two - stories throughout. Many of the homes in the neighborhood are older homes that will eventually be considering major remodels and /or complete new builds.

PROPERTY OWNER/APPLICANT: JG Building, LLC APPELLANT: Jeff Curran, JG Building, LLC FINDINGS Required finding for CEQA: The proposed project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Sections 15303 of the State Environmental Guidelines as adopted by the Town because the project consists of the demolition of one single family residence and construction of single- family residences.
