Although an extensive survey ►nras conducted of other Peninsula jurisdictions <br /> to compare the allbwahle residence sfzes, the formula that was developed by the consultant team was <br /> not taken directly from any one jurisdiction. The maximum hause sfze Formula was de�eloped by using <br /> a formula similar to the hillside communities oF Saratoga and Los Gatos for calcufating net fot size. The <br /> consuftant team made modifications to obtain an allawable residence size, based on Recfwood Cfty's <br /> 40% lot coverage reskriction that waS more compatible with the range of average home sizes in the <br /> imrrzediate neighborhood. Neighborhaod was defined as all the homes withln a 3fl0 foat radius from <br /> the project s�te which is the same list usecf for mailing public hearing not+ces. <br /> For iots with an average slope stee�er than 1Q%, the comm�nities of Saratoga and Los Gatos utifize <br /> the fallov�ing formula to reduce a lot's gross site area and determine the lot`s net site area, The <br /> maximum allowable Floor area is then based on the lot's reduced net site area: <br /> REDUCTION OF N�T SITE AREA ON SLOPING LO7S <br /> E A�erage Slope af the Lat � Percentage of Nst Site Area to be Deducted <br /> ; <br /> i ip.Di-2p% I iQ% plus 7% for each 1 percent of slope o�er iQa/o* <br /> � 20.41-30% j 3D% plus S% for each 1 percent af slope aver 20o/a* � <br /> i <br /> 579 clyde a��r��e suiie 34U V m4untain viPw california 94fl43 j Fr�iO 93A i 119 ! rr�p�anninggrou�.corn <br />
