APPLICATION OF CHARLES AND LIZABETH WALTON. FILE
NO. PLN2001-105.
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law, and after presentation by the
Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the hearing was closed.
After due consideration of all evidence presented, the Planning Commission did find as follows
with respect to application PLN200 1-1 05:
1. The development of the proposed project will result in a use that is consistent with the
General Plan designation of commercial uses for this area.
2. The proposed project involves the remodeling and expansion of an existing 2,835 square foot
building located on a net lot area of 15,203 square feet.
3. The proposed project would convert a portion of the existing house into an additional living
unit and expand the main house.
4. The net lot area of 15,203 square feet is large enough to accommodate an additional living
unit.
5. The completed project would consist of a 6,811 square foot building with a lot coverage of
30.8% and a floor-to-area (FAR) ratio of .448
6. The proposed project is consistent with the San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan.
7. The proposed project is surrounded by houses of similar architectural styles and the house is
well designed and compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.
8. The proposed project provides for the protection of the mature on-site landscaping.
9. The project is not located in a particularly sensitive environment; and no substantial evidence
has been presented to suggest that there is a reasonable possibility that significant
environmental impacts would result from the project due to unusual circumstances or from
the cumulative impacts of successive projects of the same type in the same place.

Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is requesting approval of a Site and Architectural Review
Permit to allow an addition to a two-story, single-family residence and a Use Pennit for an
attached additional living unit at 1450 Van Dusen Lane. The project site is located to the
northeast of Highway 85 off Pollard Road and has dual frontage onto both VanDusen Lane and
Robnick Court. The existing house fronts onto VanDusen Lane and the rear of the property is
on Robnick Court. Single-family residences surround the property on all sides and are all zoned
R-1-9.
The existing house on this lot was remodeled and enlarged in the mid-1980s. The applicants'
proposal is to convert part of the house into an additional living unit, utilizing the original
kitchen, den, and bedroom. A new single-car garage would be constructed to serve the unit,
which would retain the original street frontage onto VanDusen Lane. The remainder of the
existing house would be added onto and a new main part of the house would be built which
would have a new front façade and access to the property off Robnick Court. The unique
configuration and location of the property will allow for two residences on one property while
maintaining the look of a single-family home from both streets.
ANALYSIS
General Plan Designation: The General Plan land use designation for the project site is Low
Density Residential (Less than 4.5 units per gross acre). The density of the proposed project site
is an average of 2.8 units per gross acre, which is less than allowed by the General Plan land use
designation.
Zoning Designation: The zoning designation for the project site is R-1-9 (Single-Family
Residential with a 9,000 square foot lot minimum). The proposed house meets the minimum
setbacks and maximum height restriction, lot coverage, building area, floor area ratio and parking
requirements of the R-1-9 Zoning District, where applicable. Any property zoned R-1 is eligible
to create an additional living unit as long as the net lot size is greater than 12,000 square feet.
This property is 15,203 square feet in size.
Site Layout and Architecture: The proposed project includes the creation of an attached
additional living unit and a substantial addition to the existing two-story residence. The
proposed residence has incorporated design features as required by the San Tomas Area
Neighborhood Plan, including simple rectangular-shaped fonns, simple rooflines, simple and
shallow window fenestration, wood lap siding, and high-definition composition shingle roofing.
Staff Report - Planning Commission Meeting of October 9,2001
PLN2001-105 - 1450 Van Dusen Lane
Page 3 of 3
Additional elements include divided window treatments, a wrap-around front porch, and
individual garage doors that help break up the prominence of the garage on the front façade.
The proposed colors for the house include a medium brown base with off-white and dark brown
accent colors. The house will have dark composition shingle roofing and a neutral colored
ledgestone around the base.
The new house will complement the other large homes that are along Robnick Court and will
blend in well. The applicant is proposing a decorative paving material that will help break up the
front driveway area and the substantial landscaping on the site will help soften the appearance of
the large new home. Additionally, the property frontage onto Robnick Court is small and the
new house is well-designed. The front façade of the newly-created additional living unit will not
change at all and will continue to integrate well with the other homes along VanDusen Lane.
Trees/Landscaping: The site is very well landscaped with several mature cedar, redwood, and
pine trees. Additionally, the applicants have recently planted several other trees along the south
property line that will add additional privacy over time. Only one fruitless mulberry tree is
proposed to be removed to accommodate new construction, and all other trees are proposed to be
retained onsite. Condition of Approval No.8 requires that the applicant submit a tree protection
plan at the time of building pennit approval which will ensure that the mature landscaping is not
damaged. In the event that any of the smaller trees are lost during demolition or construction,
new trees will be planted in their place.
Site and Architectural Review Committee: The Site and Architectural Review Committee
reviewed this application at its meeting of September 25 2001. The Committee had no
recommended changes.

PREAPPLICATION (pRE 2000-65) -1450 Van Dusen Lane
Dear Charles and Lizabeth Walton:
. Thank you for your submittal of a preliminary application for a single-family residential addition and'
an additional living unit. It was a pleasure reviewing your complete application. It is obvious that
you spent some time in your analysis ofthe proposed addition.
The City has the following comments regarding your proposal:
Planning
The subject property is zoned R-I-9 (Single-family Residential) and is designated as Low Density
Residential (less than 4.5 units per gross acre) on the city's General Plan Land Use Map. The
addition and remodeling project will require approval of a Site and Architectural Permit, and the
additional living unit will require a Use Pennit. This action'requires Planning Commission approval
and is considered at a public hearing. Applications for the Site and Architectural Permit and the Use
Permit are attached. .
Based on the infonnation in your application, staff is supportive of a residential additión and
additional living unit at this location. Your plans indicate that all of the development standards of
the San Tomas Plan are met including setbacks, building coverage, floor area ratio, parking and
maximum building height.
Although the house appears to be very large in scale, staff finds the addition to be consistent and
compatible with the neighborhood. Staff finds that the existing house will virtually remain the same
as viewed from Van Dusen Lane and the proposed ,addition that will face RobnickCourt will be
compatible with the existing homes on Robnick Court.
When the formal applications are submitted, please submit a color palette of exterior base and trim
colors and window, garage door and roof specification sheets from the manufacturer (or samples). It
would also be helpful to have a site plan and building plans that are more detailed. For example, the
windows should be shown to scale on the elevations shòwing the mullions (divided lights), as well as
the shut~ers. Also, the shutters should be to scale with the actual window size. Large windows

on all sides of the house, instead of only having details on the front façade. Ensure these details are
shown clearly on the elevations.

Proposed addition fronting on Robnick Court -
- Conformance with the San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan:
Setbacks:
The proposed addition to the home, which will front on Robnick Court will meet or
exceed all setback requirements of the San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan.
The front corner of the garage closest to Robnick Court will be set back 25' from
the public right-of-way. The front corner of the house closest to Robnick Court will be
set back approximately 39' (19' more than the required minimum 20'). The side yard
setbacks will be a minimum of 10' on the north side and 14' 6" on the south side, and
will be a minimum 60% of the wall height. The rear yard setback will vary from 24' to
48' (exceeding the required minimum of 20').
Building Coverage/Floor Area Ratio (FAR):
The Building Coverage Area (including the garages) will be 31% (below the
maximum allowable of 35%).
The FAR (including the Additional Living Unit and the garages) will be .45
(conforming to the maximum allowable of .45).
Maximum Building Height:
The maximum building height will be approximately 26' (less than the maximum
allowable of 28').
Minimum Lot Width:
The lot width is 75' 6" (greater than the required 70' in an R-1-9 zoning district).
Landscaping:
The lot contains 20 trees, 6 of which were planted recently to replace a Fruitless
Mulberry that will be removed. At least 50% of the front yard will be landscape.
Parking:
The proposed addition will have a 3-car garage with a driveway creating a total of 6
off-street parking spaces accessed from Robnick Court. Also, the new driveway will
not eliminate anyon-street parking on Robnick Court. Currently, only 2 cars can park
on Robnick in the area that will be impacted by the new driveway, and 2 cars will still
be able to park there after the new driveway is installed.
.. _... ""---'--'-""---'--------"----.-"""-"'--"-"""'-----'---""""""""""""" ..---.....-...........--...............--...' ...---.....
Site and Architectural Review Issues:
The proposed addition is compatible with the homes in the San Tomas Area and
with the homes on Robnick Court. The home as viewed from Robnick Court will
consist of simple rectangular forms with simple hipped rooflines. The addition will
have siding matching the existing home, which is similar to many homes in the area.
The home will have a 3-car garage consistent with most of the homes on Robnick
Court. The roofing will be high definition composition shingles.
The new home will have the same scale and mass as the existing homes on
Robnick Court, which are all 2-story. The new home will have virtually the same
setbacks as the adjacent homes on Robnick Court. The garage will not be more than
50% of the front of the house and will have 3 carriage-style doors. A primary feature
of the house will be a porch wrapping around the front corner. The driveway will
curve around a large cedar tree.
To minimize privacy impacts on neighbors, there will be a minimum of second
story windows with views of backyards.
The addition will have the same exterior materials (siding and composition
shingles) and roof pitch (5:12) as the existing home. Windows will be similar to those
on Robnick Court (white with grids).
In summary, the new home will be compatible in virtually every respect with the
existing homes on Robnick Court and is consistent with the policies and design
guidelines of the San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan.

Proposed lIAdditional Living Unit" (Granny Flat):
Zoning Requirements:
The net lot area is 15,203 square feet (exceeding the 12,000 square feet
minimum lot size required for an additional living unit). The additional living unit will
be created by partitioning off a portion of the existing home. The home meets all
height, setback, and lot coverage requirements for the R-1-9 zoning district, with the
exception of the setback of the original garage from Van Dusen Lane. This proposal
will replace the existing 1-car garage (set back only 9' from the street) with a garage
of similar size set back 25' from the street, significantly improving the appearance of
the home as viewed from Van Dusen Lane.
Living Unit Size:
The total floor area of the "granny flat" will be 634 square feet and will consist of
the original living room, kitchen, dining nook, bathroom and one bedroom.
Design:
The additional living unit will not alter the existing appearance of the home. The
existing front door will be the entrance to the additional living unit. (The main home
will be accessed from Robnick Court.) There are two proposed changes in the
appearance of the home from Van Dusen Lane. One: replacement of the existing
1-car garage (set back only 9' from the street) with a new garage of similar size set
back 25' from the street. Two: replacement of the roof structure over the original
house to match the roof pitch (5: 12) of the previous addition.
Off-Street Parking:
The proposed additional living unit and addition to the home will create 8 off-street
parking spaces, double the required number of spaces. There will be a 3-car garage
with 3 driveway spaces on Robnick Court, and a 1-car garage with 1 driveway space
on Van Dusen Lane.
