Refer to PD Resolution for additional findings. Tentative Map -Subdivision Qrdinance Private Roadway Design Exception Request As part of the Vesfing Tentative Map application, the applicant afsa requests an exception to the Ci#y's fwo-way, 25-foot wide pri�ate roadway with five foot sidewaik engineering standard. Municipa! Code Cf�apter 30 (St�bdi�fsions) Section 30.'!'!8 B aflows roadway width exceptions under a Planned Development (PD} or if the exception is in the pubfic interest. As part of the PD application, the applicant proposes a private one-way roadway at 22-teet in width with a four foot wide rolled curb/ paver pedestrian pathway raised 3 inches that is ir�corporated within the 22 foot dimension. The City's Plan Review Committee, including the Fire Department and City Traffic Engineer, has determined that tF�e �roposed roadway meets emergency vehic�e (public safety) access and overaJf circufation needs of the Project. The roadway is not necessary for neighborhood or general citywide circulafion needs; rather it is a private roadway intended to serve only nine property owners ar�d their guests. The roadway is thus considered proportionally sized to this smaJl nine unit infill developmen# (vs. 25 foot wide, two-way private roadways that senre a network of neighborhood streets for larger developments that generate grea#er vehicle demandl traffic �olumes such as the 25 foot w�de roadways found in Redwood Shores). Refer to Vest+ng Tentative Map Resolutior� for additiona!findings. The Project, as described above and befow, incor�orates Project re'finements made by the applicant in response to City Council input provided at the August 3, 2009 City Council hearing. The Project refinements as summartzed below were presented to the City Council at the October 2fi, 2009 public hear�ng and were analyzed ir� the Draft EIR. 1. Stormwater Creek Setback: • Council input- Consider increasing Lo#s 1-4 residen�ial setbacks from top of creek bank. The Council suggesfed that the cF�ange need not inc�ude an adj�stment #o a 25 foot mi�imum setback, but that more than 15 fee# woufd be ar� improvement they were looking for. • Applicant response- T�e setback for �ot 2 increased from 5 feet to �8 feet, Lot 3 from 10 to 20 feet, and Lot 4 from 7 to 20 feet. 2. Project BuIk/Mass /Density: • Council input- Focus on spacio�asness in the Project design and not specifica�ly on open space. No specific direction was provided; however, the following were mer�tioned as possible ways to address the issue: reduction of home sizes, heigh#s, number of units and increase space between buildings. • Applicant response- Houses on �ots 2, 3, 4, 7, and 8 were reduced in size by 895 sq.ft. in the aggregate wit� assvciated increases in set�acks. Lots fi ar�d 7 homes previously exceeded 40% Iot coverage and are now ur�der 40% lot coverage. Lot 9's home was reduced in height by one foot. All residences are 28 feet or less in height (per Zoning Ordir�ance Articie 5). 7
