Changes to the revised project component as they relate to density bonus requests to the City for waivers and concession/incentive include: Development Intensity Transition and Sight Lines (“Daylight Plane”). The previously reviewed 847 Woodside Road project submitted a density bonus request to the City for a waiver of the daylight plane standards for adjacent residential zones to allow the project component design to not meet the zoning code required step-backs on upper floors that would accommodate the daylight plane. While the revised project is still requesting a waiver for the daylight plane standards, the revised project encroaches into the daylight plane in a more limited extent. To limit the intrusion into the daylight plane, the revised project removed units the on third, fourth, and fifth floors and increased the setback from the rear property line adjacent to the single-family neighborhood. The previously reviewed project had a setback that went as low as 6’-8” and the revised project steps back the upper three stories at the rear of the building no less than approximately 24’ from the rear property line. Building Length. The previously reviewed 847 Woodside Road project submitted a density bonus request to the City for a waiver of the maximum building length standard. While the revised project is still requesting this waiver and the building length still exceeds the maximum building length standard by about 20 feet, the revised design has changed the building material at the front façade from brick to stucco, provided horizontal bands along the upper floors, and utilized more colors throughout the building to break up the building’s massing.
