2 Tyson Court Parcel Map # II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Applicant requests approval to subdivide a 3.28 acre property into a multi-family residential lot and a remainder lot. The multi-family lot is 0.49 acres in size and the remainder lot is 2.79 acres in size. A 1,610 square foot, three-bedroom house is proposed on Lot 1 which has vehicular access from Tyson Court. No new development is proposed on the remainder lot which is currently developed with an existing church. Required project approvals include: (1) a Design Review Permit for the parcel map and house plans (for Lots 1 only); (2) a Tentative Map to subdivide the 3.28 acre site into a multi-family residential lot and a remainder lot. III. PROJECT CONTEXT The project site is located on a property that extends between Trancas Street and Tyson Court. The property is generally flat and the northern-end is developed with several buildings related to the church including a 9,500 square foot church, a 6,000 square foot classroom and office building, several accessory structures, and parking lot with 88 spaces. The southern-end is currently vacant. Surrounding uses include single-family residential to the south and south-east, multi-family residential to the east, and medical offices to the north and west. FIGURE 1 SITE PLAN OVERALL IV. ANALYSIS A. General Plan The northern portion of the property is located within the BP-441, Business Professional General Plan Designation, which allows for concentrations of administrative and professional offices, and public and quasi-public uses. The BP-441 also established a maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of The church is proposed to be retained on the remainder lot and no new development is being proposed on this parcel. The proposed 2

3 Tyson Court Parcel Map # parcel configuration results in an FAR of 0.13 for the church property, consistent with this Designation. The southern portion of the property is located within the MFR-81, Multi-Family Residential General Plan Designation, which allows for multi-family units, detached single-family units, and attached single-family units at a density of 15 to 20 units per acre. The Housing Element has also identified this property (Inventory No. 11 Site No. 231) as an underutilized multi-family residential property. The 0.49 acre site (Lot 1) would allow for the development of between 7 and 10 units. The Applicant at this time only proposes one single-family detached unit. However, the Applicant has provided a conceptual development plan to illustrate that a minimum of seven residential units can be constructed in compliance with the MFR-81 General Plan Designation. Staff typically requires the conceptual plans as a part of a parcel map application to ensure that the proposed division of land can achieve the desired densities envisioned in the General Plan without requiring exceptions, such as variances for setbacks. The conceptual plans generally conforms to existing development standards. Pursuant to Section of the Zoning Ordinance, approval of a Design Review Permit is required prior to issuance of a building permit for future units. Housing Element Policy H1.1 encourages the efficient use of land. Land Use Element Policy LU-4.5 encourages projects to be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. The proposed residential use is designed to allow for the property to be developed at a density consistent with the General Plan and is compatible with existing residences in the area consistent with these policies. FIGURE 2 SITE PLAN LOT 1 3

4 Tyson Court Parcel Map # B. Zoning The northern portion of the property is located within the OC, Commercial Office Zoning District, which allows for concentrations of administrative and professional offices, and public and quasi-public uses. The existing church is a quasi-public use consistent with this District. The church is proposed to be located on the remainder lot and no new development is associated with this parcel. The proposed parcel configuration satisfied applicable development standards of the OC District as illustrated in Table 1. TABLE 1 OC STANDARDS Criteria Standard Proposed Lot Area (square feet) min. 5, ,720 Front Setback (feet) min * Side Yard 1 st story (feet) min. 5 12* Rear Yard n/a 216 * existing condition The southern portion of the property is located within the RM, Multi-Family Residential Zoning District, which allows for multi-family units, detached single-family units, and attached single-family units. The proposed lot satisfies the development standards of the RM District as illustrated in Table 2. TABLE 2 RM & TRANSITIONAL STANDARDS Criteria Standard Proposed* Lot Area (square feet) min. 5,000 21,204 Height (feet) max ** Front Setback (feet) min Side Yard 1 st story (feet)*** min. 5 17** Side Yard 2 nd story (feet) min Rear Yard (feet) min Lot Coverage (percentage) max ** * from exterior property lines ** for proposed house only *** for single-story structures only The property is also located within the :TI, Traffic Impact Overlay Zoning District, which establishes development standards to minimize traffic conflicts on crucial corridors. The subject property is located on a segment of Trancas Street that is identified as a crucial corridor. As no development is associated with the northern portion of the property, and because the residential component of this application is accessed off of Tyson Court, there are no applicable :TI regulations associated with this project. Residential projects in the RM District are subject to compliance with the Condominium Standards as established in Section of the Zoning Ordinance. These standards are further discussed in Subsection IV.C of this Report. 4

5 Tyson Court Parcel Map # Pursuant to Subsection D of the Zoning Ordinance, properties within the RM Zoning District that abut other residential districts are required to comply with transitional standards. These standards are further discussed in Subsection IV.D of this Report. Section of the Zoning Ordinance requires a Design Review Permit for tentative maps and new multi-family projects. Design review analysis is further discussed in Subsection IV.E of this Report. C. Condominium Standards Residential projects in the RM District are subject to compliance with the Condominium Standards established in Section of the Zoning Ordinance. The following is a listing of the standards followed by Staff s analysis of how the standards have been satisfied. 1. Homeowner s Association. A homeowner s association or other similar property owner s organization shall be established and conditions, covenants and restrictions prepared and recorded to maintain all open space and other improvements which are in common ownership. The proposed project is for a single unit and Staff has determined that an entity to maintain facilities under common ownership is not required at this time. A proposed condition of approval has been included in the draft resolution that requires that the Applicant establish the appropriate entity to maintain the facilities under common ownership if additional units are developed in the future. 2. Common Areas Landscaped. All commonly owned open space areas shall be landscaped in accord with an approved landscaping plan. The landscaping shall generally be planned and developed in accord with the city s standards for landscaping. The proposed project is for a detached single-family house under the ownership of a single person. At this time, landscaping is limited to the driveway and front yard. Staff has determined that the landscaping of the undeveloped, easternportion of the site is not required at this time. However a proposed condition of approval has been included in the draft resolution that requires the Applicant to maintain the eastern-portion of the site in a clean and hazard-free manner. 3. Parking. On-site parking shall be provided in accord with the parking and loading requirements contained in Chapter Pursuant to Chapter of the Zoning Ordinance, the development of one, three-bedroom unit requires three on-site parking spaces for the residents and one on-site guest parking space. The configuration of the two-car garage and the driveway complies with this standard. 5

6 Tyson Court Parcel Map # Individual Meters. Each unit shall have its own gas and electric meter. A proposed condition of approval has been included in the draft resolution that requires that each unit have its own gas and electric meter. 5. Unit Storage. There shall be a minimum covered storage area of 60 cubic feet (minimum height of six feet eight inches and a depth or width of not less than two feet) for each dwelling unit with two or fewer bedrooms for storage of bicycles, patio furniture, garden tools, etc. The proposed unit includes a garage that provides more than 60 cubic feet of storage without compromising the ability of the unit to satisfy minimum interior garage dimension standards. 6. Laundry Facilities. Each unit shall have a laundry area for a washer and dryer. The proposed unit has a laundry room with sufficient area for a washer and a dryer. 7. Recreational Vehicle Storage. All boats and travel trailers shall be stored only within areas specifically designated for such storage on the approved plans; and such storage area shall be screened in accord with provisions of Section (Outdoor storage screening). If no recreational vehicle storage area is included, the CC&Rs shall prohibit RV parking and storage. No recreational vehicle (RV) storage areas are identified on the submitted plans. As a detached single-family house, Staff has determined that a prohibition of parking and storage of RVs is not required at this time. A proposed condition of approval has been included in the draft resolution that states that future development may be subject to review of this standard and that compliance with this standard may affect the future ability to park and store an RV. 8. Signs. Project identification signs shall comply with provisions of Title 15. No signs are proposed as a part of this application. Although the proposed unit is located away from the street, Staff has determined that a directional sign is not required at this time for the development of a single unit. A proposed condition of approval has been included in the draft resolution that states that future development may be subject to review and compliance of this standard. 9. Building Size. There shall be no single building with a length greater than 150 feet unless the Planning Commission finds that the design of the building mitigates any adverse effect of such length. The proposed buildings comply with this standard as the longest length of the building is 48 feet. 6

7 Tyson Court Parcel Map # Utilities. All utilities shall be installed underground. A proposed condition of approval has been included in the draft resolution that requires that all utilities be installed underground. D. Transitional Standards Pursuant to Subsection D of the Zoning Ordinance, properties within the RM Zoning District that abut other residential districts are required to comply with transitional standards. These standards are only applicable to development along the southern and eastern property lines which abuts developed properties within the RI-4, Single-Family Infill Zoning District. The following is a listing of the standards followed by Staff s analysis of how the standards have been satisfied. 1. Buildings two or more stories in height shall meet side yard requirements by setting the building in 10-feet from the side property line; the third story may be stepped back. Second or higher story decks shall not encroach into the side yard. The proposed house is one-story in height and is located over 10 feet from side property lines in compliance with this standard. 2. A landscape buffer shall be incorporated into affected side and rear yard areas to address privacy concerns. The eastern-portion of the site will remain undeveloped at this time and the existing fence will be retained. An existing wood fence is located on the southern property line adjacent to an existing single-family house. The proposed house is separated from the existing house by the proposed driveway and planting area. 3. Fencing or walls shall be required along abutting side and rear yards in materials and design compatible with the project. Staff typically requires a masonry wall, eight feet in height. Given that the proposed development is for a detached single-family house, Staff has determined that the existing redwood fence along the southern property line is of a design that is appropriate for a single-family neighborhood. The easternportion of the site will remain undeveloped at this time and the existing fence will be retained. 4. The above requirements may be waived or modified by the decision-making body if the abutting property is devoted to nonresidential use, if the location or design of existing development is such that the above requirements are not necessary to provide an appropriate transition, or if an alternative design provides a superior transition. A waiver or modification from these requirements is not requested by the Applicant. Staff has determined that the locations of the building comply with the 7

8 Tyson Court Parcel Map # transitional standards. Furthermore, Staff believes that the proposed fencing and landscaping satisfies the intent of the transitional standards. E. Design Review Section of the Zoning Ordinance requires Design Review of tentative maps and new multi-family projects. The project will be accessed off a single driveway from Tyson Court on the eastern-side of the property. The general design of the parcel map is the most appropriate for the size and shape of the property, and its relation to the existing non-residential development, roadways, and the residential neighborhood. The subdivision provides adequate area to allow for the future development of additional housing on the eastern portion of the site. FIGURE 3 ELEVATION FRONT The proposed exterior materials of the buildings include horizontal lap siding on the front elevation, vertical T-11 siding on the side and rear elevations, a stone base, concrete panel columns, and asphalt shingle roofs. Architectural features include exposed rafter tails on gable ends and vents. Landscaping includes a combination of shade trees, ornamental trees, shrubs, and ground covers. The plans also include a paved driveway and wood fences. The Residential Design Guidelines address seven design principles for multi-family developments. The following are the seven principles, followed by Staff s analysis of the Applicant s efforts to meet each principle. 1. Site Planning: New multi-family housing should be an integral part of the neighborhood and community creating and enhancing pedestrian friendly streets and places. 8

9 Tyson Court Parcel Map # The development consists of a detached single-family house served by a driveway off of Tyson Court. The house is located on the western-portion of the site and the eastern-portion of the site will remain vacant. The driveway will be paved to provide a textured surface. As only a single unit is proposed at this time, the proposed driveway provides adequate access for vehicles and residents from Tyson Court. The single-story house is sited in a manner that is consistent with the detached single-family residential neighborhood on Tyson Court. 2. Scale Transition: Neighborhood and architectural design concepts should provide for a transition in scale between multi-family streets and smaller single-family residential streets. The transition should respect the character, privacy, and sunlight of adjacent properties without isolating houses or developments. The project site is located within an existing single-family residential neighborhood with detached houses. The single-story house is sited and scaled in a manner that is consistent with this development pattern. 3. Common Areas: New multi-family projects should provide common spaces that are physically defined and socially integrated into the site plan as gather spaces. As a detached single-family house under ownership by the same person, no common space is proposed or required. However the proposed landscaping differentiates between public areas (the public right-of-way), semi-private areas (the driveway and porch), and private areas (the side and rear yards). 4. Architectural Design: New multi-family projects should fit into the surrounding neighborhood by transitioning in scale, reflect local architectural traditions, and respond to Napa s climate. The proposed development will consist of one, single-story residential building with an attached garage. The proposed architecture is contemporary in design and is compatible to the existing single-family neighborhood on Tyson Court. The hipped and gabled roofs have a consistent pitch and are consistent with the house design. The house has a prominent front entry identified by a roofed porch. As conditioned, the hierarchy of fenestration treatment, detailing, and exterior wall materials provide visual interest and reduce the overall perceived bulk and height. The proposed elevations include three-dimensional elements that break up the wall surfaces, such as trim details and material changes. A condition of approval has been included in the draft resolution that requires windows to have muntins applied to the exterior of the glass. As conditioned, each elevation will have the same quality as the front elevation with required rafter tail exposure, gable-end vents, and a base that wraps around the entire house. 5. Materials and Color: Multi-family housing should demonstrate a commitment to lasting and durable design with materials and colors that support overall image and massing concepts. 9

10 Tyson Court Parcel Map # Vertical T1-11 siding on the side and rear elevation which the Guidelines identify as an inappropriate material due to its inherently inexpensive and garish quality. A condition of approval has been included in the draft resolution that requires that the horizontal lap siding found on the front elevation be utilized in replacement of the T1-11 siding. As conditioned, the proposed palette of materials conveys an image of quality and durability. The proposed color palette has been inspired by the existing single-family neighborhood on Tyson Court. As conditioned, the hierarchy of fenestration treatment, detailing, and exterior wall materials provide visual interest and reduce the overall perceived bulk and height. The proposed elevations include three-dimensional elements that break up the wall surfaces, such as trim details and material changes. As conditioned, each elevation will have the same quality as the front elevation with required rafter tail exposure, gable-end vents, and a base that wraps around the entire house. 6. Lighting: Lighting location and design should be an integral part of the design concept for multi-family projects. As a detached single-family house, no light standards are proposed to illuminate the property. Exterior lighting will most likely be limited to decorative lights mounted to the walls or located within the landscaping. 7. Landscape: Multi-family projects should support the design concepts for residential streets, common area, and architectural design. As a detached single-family house, landscaping is limited to the driveway and front yard. However, the proposed landscaping differentiates between public areas (the public right-of-way), semi-private areas (the driveway and porch), and private areas (the side and rear yards). Landscaping includes a combination of shade trees, ornamental trees, shrubs, and ground covers. The plans also include a paved driveway and wood fences. V. REQUIRED FINDINGS The Planning Commission s decision regarding this project is subject to the required findings established in Section , Design Review; and Section , Tentative Map. These findings are provided in the draft resolution attached to this Staff report. VI. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Staff has determined that this project is exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to Sections 15303, 15315, and (Categorical Exemptions; Class 3, 15, and 32) of the Guidelines, which exempts new construction of small structures, minor land divisions, and in-fill development projects. 10
