DESIGN REVIEW BOARD STAFF REPORTFOR HOMES IN SINGLE FAMILY ZONES
MEETING DATE: May 4,2006
TO: Design Review Board No.1
PREPARED BY: Milca L. Toledo, Planner
CASE NO: 1-PDR 2006-070-A
ADDRESS: 429 Coutin Lane
ZONE: R1R Restricted Residential Zone; Floor Area Ratio District II
APPLICANT: Aram Alajajian
OWNER: Armand Nazaretian
LAST DATE REVIEWED/DECISION: First time submittal as afinal review.
PROJECT PROPOSAL: The applicant is proposing to construct a new 5,002 square-foot,two-story single-family house with an attached 728 square-foot garage on a 40,550 square-footflag lot. The first floor consists of 2,871 square feet ofhabitable floor area and 2,131 square feetof habitable floor area on the second floor. The site topography consists of an up-slope telTain,however, there is an area of the site that is relatively flat which is where the foot print of thehouse will be located. The site is heavily vegetated with several mature oak trees which are allproposed to be preserved. The applicant is proposing to preserve the existing landscapeconditions by integrating it into the design. The project is exempt from CEQA review.
The proposed project compares to the neighborhood in the following ways: the average lot sizeis 18,233 square feet versus 40,550 square feet for the project site; the average house size is2,084 square feet versus 5,002 square feet for the project; the average floor area ratio isapproximately 20 percent versus 14 percent for the project; the average front setback is 20 feetand approximately 37 feet for the project (flag lot), and the building heights vary; theneighborhood is comprised of both one and two-story homes; the subject site will be two storiesin height.
APPLICABLE DESIGN GUIDELINES: Single-Family Neighborhood Analysis andNeighborhood Guidelines. The propeliy is located in the Glenoaks Canyon Neighborhood,which is characterized by the Spanish Colonial Revival and Period Homes Neighborhoods builtduring the 1930s and 1940s exhibiting a variety of architectural influences. These homes aremodest in size ranging between 1,400 and 2,000 square feet and have well-maintained,landscaped front yards. The most distinct feature in this neighborhood is the uniform frontsetbacks which are typically 25 feet. New homes or additions to existing homes arerecommended to step back the second story in order to minimize the impact of building height

and bulk. Building materials include stucco, plaster and board siding and roofing materialsinclude red tile, asphalt shingle and shakes (wood shake no longer permitted).
The City's Hillside Design Guidelines encourage designs that reduce the visual prominence ofbuildings so that the natural character of the hillside is still apparent. Reducing mass and bullc,introducing variations of plane, and orienting the upper stories and the roof pitch to follow thehillside slope are goals that the guidelines recommend when designing a hillside home. Retainingwalls should be designed at a minimum height, with eatih-toned decorative materials andscreened with landscaping.
The Landscape Guidelines for Hillside Development recommends the use of drought tolerantplants, preservation of large specimen trees, and vegetation that is easily maintained. Theyrecommend an "ornamental palette" ofmore decorative plants adjacent to structures and a"naturalizing palette" for the remainder of the site. The goal of the naturalizing plant palette is tocreate a slope in which the ecological elements of a native hillside are realized. Drought and fireresistant palettes help reduce both erosion and fire danger as well as enhance the visual quality ofthe new developments, giving them a more natural appearance
Drought and fire resistant palettes help reduce both erosion and fire danger as well as enhancethe visual quality of the new developments, giving them a more natural appearance.
COMMENTS:
1. The homes on the immediate street block are both one and two-story homes.2. The vast majority of the homes in the immediate street block are of subtle, low-scale
designed homes. Some of the styles include ranch and traditional style architecture.3. Thee applicant has noted in the architectural style statement that they are proposing
a Tuscan style house.4. No major changes are being proposed to the existing landscape conditions. The
applicant is proposing to maintain the existing heavy vegetation including maturetrees with large canopies and integrate it with the design. However, the applicanthas been advised to submit a landscape plan which shows existing species and theirlocation in relationship to the site.
5. There are several mature oak trees on the site. The applicant has obtainedmitigation measures from the City's Park's and Recreation Department.
6. The applicant is not proposing to perform any grading on the site. Constructionwill primarily take place on a relatively flat area of the site.
7. Based on the City's GIS data base, the average current slope is approximately 40percent for the site.
8. Though the house size is greater than the neighborhood, the lot is large and is inkeeping with the maximum allowable floor area ratio for this site. Further, thehouse will be set back from street view and is proposed to be screened by theexisting lush and heavy vegetation which primarily consists of mature trees withlarge canopies. Also, the existing trees and heavy vegetation will attempt to screenthe house from the adjacent neighboring properties.
9. The proposed color appears to be blend with the natural hillside, in keeping with thehillside design guidelines.
ORB Case No. PDR 2006 070-AAddress: 429 Coutin Lane
10. The design of the building and the exterior articulated building walls attempt toavoid or reduce potential building mass.
11. The design of the building includes various architectural details and elements whichare in keeping with the design of the house, yet maintaining a simple design andavoiding excessive use of materials.
12. The new proposed driveway shall be constructed on the subject site. The drivewayshall not encroach onto the neighboring property.
13. The new driveway paving shall include decorative material in accordance with thezoning code.

Edith M. Fuentes
