The Planning Commission is required by law to make findings as defined by the City's Ordinance (Code
Section 25.50). Your answers to the following questions can assist the Planning Commission in making
the decision as to whether the findings can be made for your request. Please type or write neatly in ink.
Refer to the back of this form for assistance with these questions.
1. Explain why the blend of mass, scale and dominant structural characteristics of the new
construction or addition are consistent with the existing structure's design and with the
existing street and neighborhooa�
The existing flat roofis not consistent with neighboring
properties. A new gable roof over the flat area improves
the massing considerably with out affecting the neighbors.
It is with in the first story side setback and does not
create improved space.Additionally there will not be window
at the gable enc�s .
2. Explain how the variery of roof line, facade, e,xterior finish materials and elevations of
the proposed new structure or addition are co�sistent with the existing structure, street
and neighborhood.
The addition is only at the rear of the house. The building
materials and detail are consistent with the existing.There
are other " Tudor " style homes in the neighborhood.
3. How will the proposed project be consistent with the residential design guidelines
adopted by the ciry (C.S. 25.57)?
The existing style is maintained. Parking is met with the
one car garage and driveway. The front elevation is not
changed other than the addition of the gable roof.A gabled
roof is better than a"boxed" flat roof. New landscaping
is part of the project.
4. Explain how the removal of any trees located within the footprint ofany new structure or
addition is necessary and is consistent with the city's reforestation requirements. What
mitigation is proposed for the removal of any trees? Explain why this mitigation is
appropriate.

1. Explain why the blend of mass, scale and dominant structural characteristics of the new
construdion or addition are consistent with the existing structure's design and with the
existing street and neighborhood.
How will the proposed structure or addition affect neighboring properties or structures on those properties? If neighboring properties
will not be affected, state why. Compare the proposed addition to the mass, scale and characteristics of neighboring properties. Think
about mass and bulk, landscaping, sunlighbshade, views from neighboring properties. Neighboring properties and structures include
those to the right, left, rear and across the street.
� How does the proposed structure compare to neighboring structures in terms of mass or bulk? If there is no change to the structure, say
so. If a new structure is proposed, compare its size, appearance, orientation etc. with other structures in the neighborhood or area.
2. Explain how the variety of roof line, facade, exterior finish materials and elevations of
the proposed new structure or addition are consistent with the existing �r� �ccture, street
and neighborhood.
How does the proposed structure or use compaze aesthetically with structures or uses in the existing neighborhood? If it does not affect
aesthetics, state why. Was the addition designed to match existing architecture and/or pattem of development on adj acent properties in
the neighborhood? Explain why your proposal fits in the neighborhood.
How will the structure or addition change the character of the neighborhood? Think of character as the image or tone established by
size, density of development and general pattem of land use. If you don't feel the character of the neighborhood will change, state why.
3. How will the proposed project be consistent with the reside�ctial design guidelines
adopted by the city?
Following are the design criteria adopted by the City Council for residential design review. How does your project meet these
guidelines?
1. Compatibility of the architectural style with that of the existing character of the neighborhood;
2. Respect for the parking and garage patterns in the neighborhood;
3. Architectural style and mass and bulk of structure;
4. Interface of the proposed structure with the structures on adjacent properties; and
5. Landscaping and its proportion to mass and bulk of structural components.
4. Explain how the removal of any trees located within the footprint of any new structure
or addition is necessary and is consistent with the city's reforestation requirements.
What mitigation is proposed for the removal of any trees? Explain why this mitigation
is appropriate
Will any trees be removed as a result of this proposal? If so, explain what type of trees will be removed and if any are protected under
city ordinance (C.S. 11.06), why it is necessary to remove the trees, and what is being proposed to replace any trees being removed. If
no trees are to be removed, say so.
