Re: Plan Check BLD 2000-494 - 535 Sobrato Drive
Dear Mr. Garcia:
On August 21, 2000, Planning Division staff approved plans for a second story addition to the
above referenced address. The plans indicated that the new roof on the second story would be
the same shape (hipped) as the existing main house.
On November 20, 2000 new plans were submitted which show a change in roof shape. As the
roof shape is not compatible with the existing roof shape, staff is unable to support the new
proposal. Please revise your plans to show a hipped roof, as was indicated on the original plans.
Please contact me if you should have any questions or if you would like to set up a meeting to
discuss. I may be reached at (408) 866-2143.
Sincerely,
Katrina Rice Schmidt, AICP

Re: Ptan'Check Building 2000494 (Revised)
535 Sobrato Drive
Dear Mr. Garcia:
The Planning Division has reviewed your plan submittal of June 22, 2000 for a single-family addition on
the referenced property.
The property is located in the San Tomas Neighborhood and is subject to the policies of the San Tomas
Area Neighborhood Plan (STANP). As the building is in the R-l-6 Zoning District, the project will receive
site and architectural review by the Community Development Director.
In general, the STANP sets forth guidelines to ensure that new homes fit in contextually with the existing
neighborhood, and lists architectural features that are common in the neighborhood, such as simple shaped
forms, simple rooflines, wood siding or stucco exteriors. Additionally, design guidelines for residential
additions encourage the use of similar materials throughout the residence.
Consequently, a revision in the proposed wall material is required. It is recommended that the wall material
be shown as a horizontal lap siding or stucco material to match the existing residence.
Please contact me to discuss the review process and the concems regarding the building design. I may be
reached at (408) 866-2144.
