Design Review Criteria: The criteria for design review as established in Ordinance No. 2000 adopted by the City
Council on December 6, 2021 are outlined as follows:
Consistency with any applicable design guidelines;
-2-
Design Review
34 Dwight Road
2. Compatibility of the architectural style with that of the existing character of the neighborhood;
3. Respect for the parking and garage patterns in the neighborhood;
4. Architectural style and consistency and mass and bulk of structures, including accessory structures;
5. Interface of the proposed structure with the structures on adjacent properties;
6. Landscaping and its proportion to mass and bulk of structural components; and
7. In the case of an addition, compatibility with the architectural style and character of the existing
structure as remodeled.
Required Findings for Design Review: Any decision to approve a Major Design Review application shall be
supported by written findings addressing the criteria set forth in Chapter 25.68. In making such determination, the
following findings shall be made:
The project is consistent with the General Plan and is in compliance with all applicable provisions of Title
25, all applicable design guidelines, all other City ordinances and regulations, and most specifically, the
standards established in the Design Review Criteria above, as applicable.
2. The project will be constructed on a parcel that is adequate in shape, size, topography, and other
circumstances to accommodate the proposed development; and
3. The project is designed and arranged to provide adequate consideration to ensure the public health,
safety, and general welfare, and to prevent adverse effects on neighboring property.
Suggested Findings for Design Review:
The proposed addition to an existing single-unit dwelling is consistent with the General Plan designation
of Low Density Residential and is in compliance with all applicable provisions of Title 25; the proposed
exterior improvements enhance the existing Spanish-style architecture; that the massing of the additions
blends with the split-level construction of the existing house and does not increase the overall existing
building height to the highest ridge, and that architectural details such as the stained wood garage and
front doors, a stucco exterior, and the arched entry and living room window are compatible with the
character of the existing dwelling and with the neighborhood.
2. The project will be constructed on a parcel that is adequate in shape, size, topography, and other
circumstances to accommodate the proposed development as shown on the proposed plans.
3. The project is designed and arranged to provide adequate consideration to ensure the public health,
safety, and general welfare, and to prevent adverse effects on neighboring property because the project
complies with setback, lot coverage, floor area ratio and declining height envelope requirements.
For these reasons, the project may be found to be compatible with the requirements of the City's design review
criteria.
Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission should conduct a public hearing on the application,
and consider public testimony and the analysis contained within the staff report. Action should include specific
findings supporting the Planning Commission's decision, and should be affirmed by resolution of the Planning
Commission. The reasons for any action should be stated clearly for the record. At the public hearing the
following conditions should be considered:
that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Division and date stamped
June 1, 2022, sheets T1.0 through AD.2 and Boundary and Topographic Survey, and sheets SP1, A1,
and A7 date stamped June 24, 2022;
