Purpose. The purpose of the additional regulations for sloping lots is that: <br /> 1. Trees and natural features, well-designed homes and variety of architectural styles are <br /> key components of quality hillside areas; <br /> 2. Safety of homes, both structurally and from fire danger, is of particular concern in the <br /> hillside areas; <br /> 3. Ensuring that homes are integrated with hillside slopes and scaled to the size of the <br /> property contributes towards overall compatibility; and <br /> 4. Allowing reasonably-sized homes and additions can further the goals of neighborhood <br /> quality and accommodate diverse family and multi-generational needs. <br /> B. Definition of Sloping Lots.For the purposes of this section, "sloping lots"is any lot in the <br /> R-1 or RH Zoning District that has an average slope of 15 percent or more. <br /> C. Underfloors. Exterior building surfaces between the lowest floor and finished grade shall <br /> be comprised of fire-retardant materials to prevent exposure to wildfire hazard. The <br /> building official shall determine compliance with this standard. <br /> D. Parking Front Setback Adjustment. In order to reduce grading, required parking <br /> (including a private garage) may be located, at the discretion of the Director, as close as 5 <br /> feet to the street property line; provided that portions of the dwelling and accessory <br /> structures other than the garage shall comply with the setback requirements of the base <br /> zoning district. Driveway aprons of 10 to 18 feet are prohibited as they would allow a car <br /> to protrude into the sidewalk or street. <br /> E. Review Process. As required per Article 45 (Architectural Permits). <br /> ATTY/ORD.408/ZONING ORD AMENDMENT—HILLSIDE <br /> REV:04-03-15 VR <br /> Page 8 of 18 <br />
