Subject: Public Hearing - 14331 Capri Dr.

Date: Saturday, June 21, 2025 11:00:30 AM
[EXTERNAL SENDER]
Los Gatos Town Planning Commission:

We recently received a "Notice of Public Hearing" on the proposed development at 14331 Capri Dr. We live right next door to this property and we are concerned about such a large two-story house going up on that lot. Most of the neighborhood is made up of single-story homes. The rooftops of the few two-story houses in the direct neighborhood are not as high as the proposed height at this location. We are especially concerned about this because they are planning to build this extra tall structure right up to the required set back at our shared property line. The house as planned will block our view of the tree tops to the north of us and will shadow our property.

We also have a concern regarding the zoning. Does the single-family residence zoning allow for a house of this size and two rental units on this lot? If they feel the old house needs to be torn down rather than remodeled, why leave up the old garage of the same vintage that houses two rental units? It is a very deep lot. A one-story building with the same square footage could easily be accommodated if the old garage was also demolished. We realize this takes out their rental units, but the current old garage structure will definitely not fit in architecturally with the proposed house.

We have carefully thought about the proposed plans for this house. We looked in detail at the plans online and viewed the story poles to get a real feel for the elevations. We expressed our concerns to the homeowner on April 7, but he said it was too late to make any changes to the plans. We have a historic house and there are many small, quaint houses in the neighborhood.

We just want to be sure that this new structure is not out of place for this area.

Thank you for considering our concerns,
Michelle McCormick & Sars Davis

P R O C E E D I N G S:

VICE CHAIR BURCH: We’ll now move on to our
Public Hearings portion, Item #2. This item is to consider a request for approval to demolish an existing singlefamily residence, construct a new single-family residence, site improvements requiring a Grading Permit, and a Zone Change from O (Office) to R-1:8 (Single-Family Residential) with a minimum lot size of 8,000 square feet.

The property is located at 14331 Capri Drive. APN
406-32-004, Architecture and Site Application S-24-043, and Zone Change Application Z-23-005. The is categorically
exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15303: New
Construction, and Section 15061(b)(3): Common Sense
Exemption.

The property owner is Ravi Kiran Vallamdas,
Applicant is Gordon K. Wong, and the project planner is Ryan Safty.

Before we have a Staff Report, did everybody get
a chance to visit the site? Are there any disclosures?
Okay, great. Mr. Safty, you’ll be giving the report?
RYAN SAFTY: Yes, thank you. Good evening,
Commissioners.

The Applicant tonight is requesting approval of a
Zone Change from Office to Single-Family Residential,
demolition of the existing residence, and construction of a new two-story residence with site work requiring a Grading Permit.

Zone changes require Town Council approval, and
therefore both applications are going before Planning
Commission tonight for a recommendation to the Town
Council, who will be rendering the final decision.

The property is located at the corner of Capri
Drive and Vasona Avenue and is in a transitional
neighborhood with a mixture of commercial and residential uses in the surrounding area. The property is currently zoned Office but has a General Plan designation of LowDensity Residential. The surrounding properties of the west side of Capri Drive all have a Low-Density Residential land use designation and are all zoned R:1-8, except for this property.

As Residential is not a permitted use in the
Office zone, the application for a new residence
necessitates this Zone Change. As noted in the Staff
Report, Staff recommends approval of the Zone Change as it would be consistent with the surrounding neighborhood and the General Plan land use designation.

The existing residence was built in 1940 and was
removed from the Historic Inventory by the HPC in 2023.

There is an existing two-story structure with two ADUs on the site that were approved in 1989 and are allowed to
remain; they’re not being reviewed with the application pursuant to State law.

The proposed two-story residence would be of
Spanish Mediterranean style and would be approximately 27’ tall, stucco siding, and clay tile roof. Although the
proposed residence would comply with all applicable Town standards, the proposed residence would be the tallest and largest in the immediate neighborhood.

The Town’s consulting architect reviewed the
proposal and noted that the property is located in an older neighborhood of mostly one-story traditional homes, and the proposed house would be considerably larger than the other homes in the immediate neighborhood as defined by the
Town’s Residential Design Guidelines.

Additionally, the consultant recommended nine
design changes to simplify the design and improve the
project’s compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood.

The Applicant incorporated seven of the nine
recommendations and provided justification for the other two within Exhibit 7 of the Staff Report.

In terms of neighborhood compatibility, the
Residential Design Guidelines state that the greatest
attention will be given to the immediate neighborhood where nearby homeowners are most likely to be confronted with the new house on a daily basis, and where other residents
driving by are most likely to see the new structure in the context of nearby homes.

The Design Guidelines contain a diagram to
illustrate standard immediate neighborhood definition which Staff uses when creating the neighborhood analysis that you see in tonight’s Staff Report. When looking at the strict definition of the immediate neighborhood, the proposal
results in the first two-story home, the largest home by over 1,000 square feet, and the largest FAR in the
immediate neighborhood. However, as also noted in the
Residential Design Guidelines, lesser consideration can be given for homes located at a great distance from the
project site, and there are several factors in determining an immediate neighborhood when illustrative diagram might not be applicable, including location and visibility of the buildings.

As noted in the Exhibit 7, the Applicant notes
that the immediate neighborhood, if expanded by one
property on both sides on Vasona Avenue, the proposed home

would no longer be the first two-story, and would not be the largest in terms of floor area or FAR. Additionally, there is already an existing two-story structure on the site.

If the Planning Commission feels it is
appropriate, they can expand the immediate neighborhood farther than Staff did, however, since Staff uses the
example diagram for determining the immediate neighborhood and which properties to include, that does recommend denial of the Architecture and Site Application due to this
neighborhood compatibility.

One public comment was received, and that was
distributed in yesterday’s Addendum Report. As there are two different recommendations within the Staff Report for both different application types, you will see two sets of findings prepared for each of those applications.

This concludes Staff’s presentation and we are
happy to answer any questions.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: Thank you. Any questions of
Staff? Commissioner Stump.

COMMISSIONER STUMP: Ryan, sorry to come back and
ask this question again after you’ve talked about
neighborhood compatibility and the immediate neighborhood.

As we refer to our Residential Guidelines, and I’m now

referring to a specific page, page 11, that shows a couple of diagrams in there, one with sort of a very just straight line neighborhood and another one with a house on a corner, and with the house on the corner it literally shows the immediate neighborhood in a different way than I thought was being presented here, because it sort of does allow that wraparound and allows that kind of view onto Vasona Avenue, although it’s obviously not identified that way in the Residential Design Guidelines. So, how are we defining the immediate neighborhood here?
RYAN SAFTY: Thank you for the question. Staff
does have an Exhibit prepared, if Mr. Mullin can pull that up. Essentially, it’s going to show what Staff did
determine to be the immediate neighborhood in this case, and as mentioned previously, this is a very unique
neighborhood in that there are Commercial and Residential across Capri Drive and the actual neighborhood itself seems to start at Vasona Avenue heading west.

The properties highlighted in red are what Staff
used for the immediate neighborhood. We did wrap along
Vasona Avenue to the west, but essentially Staff’s
determination ended right before the two properties that the Applicant used for their immediate neighborhood
definition, and that would be 589 and 594.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: Are there any further
questions of Staff? Commissioner Raspe.

COMMISSIONER RASPE: Thank you, Chair. Thank you,
Mr. Safty, for that presentation. Quick question. I know the ADU is not subject to our review tonight, but can you tell us, if you know, how tall is the ADU?
RYAN SAFTY: Thank you for the question. I
believe it’s listed in the plans as roughly 20’, but if you give me a minute, I can confirm that.

COMMISSIONER RASPE: And if you don’t have it, I
can ask the Applicant as well, I imagine. Out of curiosity then, part B to that question, even though it’s on the same lot, would that be part of our analysis of the neighborhood and compatibility?
RYAN SAFTY: It’s Staff’s understanding that,
yes, that does contribute to the neighborhood.

COMMISSIONER RASPE: I appreciate that answer.

Thank you.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: All right, are there any other
questions of Staff? If there are no other questions of
Staff, then we’ll now open the public portion of the public hearing on this item and give the Applicant an opportunity to address the Commission for up to five minutes. I have Gordon Wong and Kevin Yu. Please make sure you adjust the

microphone as needed so that we can hear you, and you have five minutes, and since you’re both speaking for the
Applicant, that’s a total.

GORDON WONG: I’m the Applicant, Gordon Wong, and
the architect.

KEVIN YU: My name is Kevin Yu, and I am here as
the partial representative on behalf of the owner and GKW Architects. We are a local firm residing in the City of Campbell and have been proudly serving the community for the past 16 years.

Our intent is to design a home that not only
blends beautifully into the existing neighborhood, but also enhances the overall aesthetic and contributes to the longterm value in the area. We believe this project is a positive step forward and eagerly anticipate working with the Town members and neighbors to ensure it benefits the community as a whole.

We have taken into consideration the
recommendations and I would like to provide these findings on these slides.

On the first slide we have the front façade of
the house facing towards Capri Drive. This project is also intended to acquire three permits. We have Zone Change, Grading Permit, and the demolition of the existing singlePage 609 ITEM NO. 11.

family home for the new construction. Below, you see is a directory of the professionals that have been working on this project.

This slide outlines the compliance with the
Residential Design Guidelines. To begin, the building is complying with the rear setback requirements. Next, we have existing trees that were preserved for privacy screening and natural shade. In addition, this project proposes highquality materials and craftmanship. For example, we are providing three arches on both floors, solid wood doors, and decorated corbels. Furthermore, this project is
compliant with the height, FAR, and the General Plan.

We are taking thoughtful consideration of the
community feedback and made a few adjustments to the plans.

On this slide we have before and after elevations and
sections showing these changes. On the elevations we
reduced the window size and flushed the wall of the master bedroom. This was to increase the distance from the
building to the properly line as described under sections.

We also added privacy planting to alleviate the direct line of sight into the neighboring property. Furthermore, the floor area is reduced from 3,511 square feet to 3,375
square feet.

There we have a map which outlines the

comparison, this project is the third tallest and the
fourth largest in terms of FAR.

We hope we have addressed some of the concerns,
and we’re more than happy to work with everyone here to make this project work.

GORDON WONG: Any questions or comments, we are
here to help out and understand what we need to do. Thank you.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: All right, thank you. Any
questions for the Applicant? Commissioner Stump, then
Commissioner Raspe.

COMMISSIONER STUMP: One of the concerns that was
brought up by a neighbor—I assume it’s at 14333 Capri
Drive—was that “This house will block our view of the
treetops to the north and will shadow our property.” Can you briefly review the shadow study that’s been completed? I know you did in your drawings, sheet G-005 did a shadow study. It’s pretty geometric, and if you could just give an idea of how the shadows affect the property at 14333 Capri Drive.

GORDON WONG: To bring that sheet on the screen,
it’s sheet G-005, and we can probably focus on maybe the

winter solstice. A little small and hard to see, but on the lower left-hand corner is probably the one that we need to look at.

Winter solstice at 3:00pm, I think the shadows
are cast the other way towards actually Capri Drive. I
don’t see too much effect there. 9:00am, also, it’s going to be cast towards the street and towards the ADU, which is on our site.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: Does that answer your
question, Commissioner Stump?
COMMISSIONER STUMP: What about the final time
period there?
GORDON WONG: Are you talking about which one,
the upper left?
COMMISSIONER STUMP: Far right.

GORDON WONG: Far right is summer solstice
9:00am. The shadows would be cast towards the ADU on our site.

COMMISSIONER STUMP: Okay, thank you.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: Commissioner Raspe.

COMMISSIONER RASPE: Thank you, Chair. Thank you
for your presentation. I think you probably heard my
question to Staff. The height of the ADU, do you know off the top of your head?

COMMISSIONER RASPE: And a second question, if I
may, Chair.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: Of course.

COMMISSIONER RASPE: We’ve heard from one
neighbor in their response. I’m curious, can you describe your neighborhood outreach, and any other responses you might have heard from other neighbors?
GORDON WONG: We had three neighborhood
outreaches. We had one comment that came in recently; we were able to address that comment literally yesterday when we got it. We reduced a window and we recessed a wall to decrease any impact it has to the direct neighbor. We’ve also provided screening with a bush and a plant to avoid any visual intrusion.

COMMISSIONER RASPE: Thank you, and are those
incorporated into either your plans or your Condition of Approval?
GORDON WONG: Correct, the plans and the
presentation, yes.

COMMISSIONER RASPE: Thank you so much.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: Commissioner Burnett.

COMMISSIONER BURNETT: Thank you, and thank you
your coming tonight. A couple of questions. First of all,

did you do anything to reduce the bulk and the mass, which our Town Architect did address that? Of course, as you
know, it is the largest house in the area.

GORDON WONG: We did reduce quite a bit of it. We
reduced the plate heights of both first and second floor.

We complied with seven of the nine comments. We didn’t
comply with one of them, because complying with that one actually increased the size of the house, so we opted to go another direction which actually reduced the square
footage. The final one, I think, was more of an arbitrary… The last one was to avoid a cricket in the roof, and then we sent it back, so that’s how that happened.

KEVIN YU: We actually tried multiple design
scenarios, and adding a hip roof per the consulting
architect’s suggestion actually makes the house even
taller; that’s why we (inaudible) back into the (inaudible) to keep everything as minimal as possible.

COMMISSIONER BURNETT: Could you tell me how much
of a reduction in square feet you accomplished, because you’re the largest by far at 1,237 square feet of other homes in the area. How much did you reduce that by?
GORDON WONG: I think the square footage was
reduced about, including the window…

KEVIN YU: The changes of the windows in the
master bedroom, we actually reduced about 15 square feet.

However, on the calculation when I look into it, the stairs were actually double counted, so the actual square footage and FAR is actually much lower.

COMMISSIONER BURNETT: I see. May I continue? I
have a few. So, going over our architect’s suggestions for you, and you said you had responded to seven of them,
however, number four I was a little… You said it was
detailing the windows to be more consistent with the
proposed architectural style, and then there were a couple of options here, and your response was softening the window trim color, so you didn’t do any recessing on the windows then? You only changed color on number four?
GORDON WONG: I believe we did a lot of research
on the windows. We did check the…
COMMISSIONER BURNETT: You did some recessing?
GORDON WONG: Yes. Yes, we have. You can’t see it
on the elevation, but in our model, it does show.

COMMISSIONER BURNETT: Okay, because the answer
was you just changed the color there, so I was wondering about that one.

GORDON WONG: Oh, I see.

KEVIN YU: I understand we are trying to comply
with the consulting architect’s consideration; however, it was suggested to be recessed. We would happily do that. Not a problem.

COMMISSIONER BURNETT: Okay, great. Then one
more. On number six, add trim at the bottom of the
projecting bay. Oh, the rafter tails, that’s what… Did you bring them around, or did you just only do them under the window and make them larger?
KEVIN YU: We decided to eliminate the rafter
tails of the second floor, but I think this discussion was more about the supporting corbels, which we have enhanced the size of it on the front of the entry and the garage.

COMMISSIONER BURNETT: Thank you.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: Commissioner Sordi.

COMMISSIONER SORDI: Thank you, Chair. Just a
couple of questions. I guess I’m a little confused in the sense that it sounds like we got a packet with the design.

We saw that the letter came in relatively recently and you made some changes to address the letter, but I don’t think you summarized it in your presentation, and I don’t think we have it in our packet.

GORDON WONG: It’s on slide 3 of presentation.

COMMISSIONER SORDI: What I heard was reduced
window sizes facing the neighbor. I heard recessed a wall.

I’m interested to know how much you recessed the wall. And then you talked about screening. So, if you could just
summarize what you changed in the last couple of days.

GORDON WONG: On the second floor on the left
side, you see the top diagram has three windows, and the one on the bottom has two. The one that has three actually had a pop-out. We actually made it flush afterwards to
recess it back in to make a little more distance from the neighbor.

Then the slides on the right show a cross-section
with the…there’s a line-of-sight view. Here’s the direct line-of-sight view, so this window is reduced, and then we added screen right here, and see, here is a line right
here; this one is flush. So, we reduced this window and made this smaller.

COMMISSIONER SORDI: Okay, thank you. So, a wall
was recessed inward.

GORDON WONG: Correct. Or it used to pop out, and
we made it flush in the end, and that reduced the square footage.

COMMISSIONER SORDI: And so, it was recessed by a
foot or two? Can you say how much?

COMMISSIONER SORDI: Did you meet with the
neighbor to talk through it?
GORDON WONG: We got the letter from Planning. We
just met with the neighbor, and we executed it as fast as we could before the hearing.

COMMISSIONER SORDI: Okay, got it. That’s it for
now, I guess.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: Any other questions?
Commissioner Barnett.

COMMISSIONER BARNETT: A couple, if I might.

According to the Staff Report, in terms of your outreach to the neighbors there were five where you put not applicable.

No one was home, no one was home, no one was home, no one was home. So, I guess the question is did you make any
effort subsequently to reach to these neighbors?
GORDON WONG: We did, yes. We went out there. We
got out there three times, and one of the times was when the story poles were up, so we kept trying.

members go out, two with Kevin Yu.

COMMISSIONER BARNETT: I appreciate that. Then,
if I may?
GORDON WONG: And on the property, our signs
there, my contact is there with my office’s number, and our website is on the site.

COMMISSIONER BARNETT: Good. So, you began your
presentation saying that the home fits in the neighborhood, but the Staff’s concern is with the largest square footage; the largest FAR, although not by much; and the height. What is your response to Staff on that?
GORDON WONG: My response is quite a few of those
homes were built in the 1940s and it’s been quite some
time. We do have quite a few properties that need to be rebuilt, I believe, and we are in a transient zoning area.

Right across from our house on Capri Drive is the
Commercial Office zoning. When we expand the map just a little further we do notice that there are quite a few twostory homes, and on the lot that we’re on we have a preexisting two-story we’re trying to match; we’re trying to

match the style. We see a lot of houses with tile roofs, a lot of Spanish stucco style homes, so we did walk the
neighborhood to take a look at that.

We are trying to also put enough variation on the
façade so that there are insets, there is some kind of
characteristic that ties it down, and I feel that we’ve reworked this design both front, inside, outside to try to make that happen, to try to put a good example of a new home in this area.

COMMISSIONER BARNETT: If I may, Chair? Can you
say how many two-story homes were in the expanded
neighborhood that you researched?
GORDON WONG: Yes, would you put up slide #4? We
are located here, Capri Drive/Vasona Avenue. Over here on Knowles Drive our number is actually lower than 25.7. On Knowles Drive there’s another one, the height is 26’, 24.6 is FAR. This one is 3,111. Over here on Knowles Drive is

30.2%. We have Vasona down here, 30%, so that’s only a
couple of houses down. And here we have 26.7. So, our
immediate neighborhood is kind of…the way that we’re
chopped up is because we’re in a transient spot, but there are quite a few two-story and large homes here.

COMMISSIONER BARNETT: Thank you for those
responses.

COMMISSIONER RASPE: Thank you, Chair. You
indicated, I think, during your presentation that at least with respect to one of the floors you lowered your plate height from 10’ to 9’, is that correct?
GORDON WONG: That’s correct.

COMMISSIONER RASPE: And is that the second
floor?
GORDON WONG: Yes, second floor.

COMMISSIONER RASPE: So, is your first floor
still 10’? I’m asking what is your plate height on floor one, and if it’s 10’, is there a way to reduce that to 9’? KEVIN YU: First of all, it is 10’. We would take
into consideration reducing…
GORDON WONG: Well, we would like to keep the
10’, because there are a lot of good things you can do with that in terms of windows and doors. One of the best things is when you do those true light divider windows the optics are far better with the header and the taller windows. So, if we could keep that, it would be really good for the
Spanish Mediterranean style. Now, if we reduce it to 9’, then the windows won’t be as high-end, and that’s kind of the thing I notice in a lot of good homes in Los Gatos. I always look at the good brands, Kolbe, true light divider

windows, and we have two street-facing facades, so I think it would really enhance the look of the house in the
neighborhood.

COMMISSIONER RASPE: Okay, I appreciate that
response. Thank you.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: Commissioner Burnett.

COMMISSIONER BURNETT: Yes, thank you. I went
around the neighborhood twice. On the other side of
Knowles, yes, there are a few, very few, larger homes. When you come down onto Capri, you go all the way down Capri to the end, or you go down to the middle of Capri and you turn right on Vasona; I did not see second story homes. The only thing I did see was the taller ADU in the back, and then a partial second story on the right-hand side of Vasona, so that neighborhood, your home would definitely stand out as quite a large structure, because there are no other twostory homes in that immediate neighborhood. I know you described on your…but it wasn’t in that immediate
neighborhood that you have a large home like that.

GORDON WONG: I understand what you’re saying.

Very difficult to say, because when I walked down Vasona Avenue, 589 Vasona is 27.5’ high, and that’s three houses down. On Knowles Drive there is a house that’s 27.3’, and that is two houses down, but you’ve got to walk down Vasona

road, but it’s quite close.

Drive.

GORDON WONG: Knowles, but we are also on Vasona,

quickly a couple of weeks ago, and then just met them
today.

I had brought up the concerns to the homeowner
and also to the gentleman from the architecture firm when they swung by, and I think they are all the things that you’ve been talking about, the size of the building for our direct neighborhood.

Yes, Knowles is down the road, it’s on a main
street, but you think about our neighborhood, you walk
around there. I’ve been there for almost 40 years in that house. I live in a historic house right next door, there are other little historic houses around, and it may not feel like they are in great shape and need to be redone, but we’re renovating our house, everybody in that
neighborhood is trying to keep their houses looking really nice.

This structure, it’s beautiful, it’s huge, it’s a
gorgeous home; it just feels like out of place for the
neighborhood, and I had thought it’s such a deep lot. It has that garage conversion, and then even more space, and you could do a beautiful one-story home there.

I’m not understanding why you would tear down the
old home that was maybe not renovatable, but the old garage is the same vintage, it’s a very old original structure,

and the two sitting next to each other, really close to each other as you saw on the map, the home and the garage, just seem out of place, like they not going to match at all if you’re concerned about the look of the neighborhood.

I do appreciate, again, the architect and
homeowners thinking about how we can make this be not
intrusive on the rest of the neighborhood, so I want to give them kudos for doing that, and immediately after
getting a response thinking about how they could tweak it, but it feels kind of obtrusive.

I’m also concerned of course about the huge
development that’s planned across the street and don’t want to have anything be like well look, we already built this big building, so why not build a 13-story apartment
building across the street? It changes the whole effect of that neighborhood. We were there when the old farmhouse was still there, before 85, and all of the old homes in that neighborhood. Having some of those quaint neighborhoods in Los Gatos really keep the character of the community.

I appreciate you hearing me out and listening to
the concerns, and hopefully we can move forward and be
agreeable to everything.

COMMISSIONER BARNETT: My question to you is with
respect to the modifications that have been explained to you by the owner and architect. Have those somewhat
ameliorated your concerns?
MICHELLE McCORMICK: Well, I just heard them now
in the presentation; that’s the first I’ve heard of them.

Changing the windows, that’s a great thing so they’re not looking down on the property, and putting up some more
vegetation screening, that’s great; I do appreciate that. I haven’t had a chance to see that design at all. I did look through all of the plans when they were originally put
online, but I haven’t seen this one.

COMMISSIONER BARNETT: So, you have reservations
until you see more?
MICHELLE McCORMICK: Yes, I’d like to just look
at that in detail, but again, I do appreciate them
immediately trying to look at ways to change that; it’s just it is still a large structure.

COMMISSIONER BARNETT: Thank you for that.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: All right, thank you. Mr.

Paulson, do we have anybody on Zoom?

VICE CHAIR BURCH: All right, so then the
Applicant can come back, if you would like. You have three more minutes if there is anything else that you would like to discuss. Do you guys have any further questions for the Applicant? Okay, go ahead and come back up, and I think there might be a question for you. Commissioner Sordi.

COMMISSIONER SORDI: Is it possible to put the
site plan up? There was one in the packet that actually showed the setbacks pretty well. That’s it right there.

Yeah, I’m thinking of another one that had kind of a color coding on the setbacks on the front and side. There we go.

If we could enhance that a little bit.

My question is, it’s kind of a bigger picture
question, when you chose to plot the house, and backing up a little bit, what I did do is I took my handy Google
measurement and I measured the distance of this house from all the houses in the neighborhood, and the proximity to the one at 14333 Capri in the post-development condition is pretty close. I think you’re actually right at the setback with the lower level, and then you’re 5’ setback to the second level, and maybe it’s a little different now with the recess in the wall. I believe you’re right at the

setback, and then on the other side, if I’m reading this right, you’ve got a lot of room. I see a 10’ setback from a properly line and then a 15’ setback, I guess, from the street.

Because it doesn’t look to me like the house is
centered on the lot, and I don't know whether there was a method to your design, or maybe you can walk us through that, because I guess what I’m seeing here is a potential to maybe in the direction where you don’t impact the one neighbor who is within 20’, because I think everybody else is in like 80’ or more in the neighborhood, so just a
longwinded question.

GORDON WONG: I understand the weight of the
question, and also the weight of the results, and if we were to move the house, because the issue is the distance from the street on Vasona to get the driveway to work, so that’s why the house ended up where it was, and also the existing trees and not impacting the roots.

The project was driven with other concerns, not
just looking at these concerns, not just looking at the setback, because there are other things that make it work, and we felt that abiding to the rear setback and insetting the second floor would help bring some relief, but at the same time retain the characteristic of the original house,

because that’s where the front door was, originally facing Capri, so we were trying to retain that, and retain the garage where it is, because the driveway actually is
located in the right spot, but we want it here, because the corner is here, and if we were to put it here, the garage… It’s very hard to explain on paper, but we looked at it inside and out, and we were checking the width of the
garage, how to get two in there and how to get the driveway in. A lot of moving pieces.

COMMISSIONER SORDI: Maybe I’m not quite
understanding it. So, you’re saying shifting the house to the north would affect the location of the driveway coming off?
GORDON WONG: It would, yes.

COMMISSIONER SORDI: By moving it closer to the
intersection? I don’t know what you mean by shifting it. It just looks to me like the driveway might get a little
shorter, but it wouldn’t necessarily move it east to west.

GORDON WONG: The point is to be able to park a
car on that driveway; that was the issue.

COMMISSIONER SORDI: Oh, okay. So, it’s the depth
of the driveway?
GORDON WONG: Yes,

right, no, then thank you very much. We’re going to close the public portion of the public hearing, and now I invite my Commissioners to ask questions of Staff and have any conversation. Questions of Staff or any comments?
Commissioner Barnett.

COMMISSIONER BARNETT: I can break the ice here.

My concern is although the height, FAR, and square footage are within the allowable limits, that we have to look at the Residential Design Guidelines to see if those comply given the limitations that are complied with.

In other words, I think the Residential Design
Guidelines trump the maximums, and the comments made by the consulting architect, Mr. Cannon, that the property does not blend with the smaller homes in the neighborhood, that the height and bulk at the front and side are significantly greater than those of adjacent homes, that the
architectural style is to be with sensitivity with the
surrounding neighborhood, and height and bulk and the front and sides must be considered.

My concerns are this house just isn’t a house
that complies with all those Residential Design Guidelines requirements, and I look forward to comments from my fellow commissioners. Thank you.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: Commissioner Raspe.

COMMISSIONER RASPE: Thank you, Chair. Apologies
to my fellow commissioners, but I will take the opposite side of that discussion. This home, it’s not in dispute that it complies with FAR, complies with height
limitations—in fact, it’s 3’ lower than the maximum height they could have built—complies with setbacks, complies with lot coverage, and complies with parking.

The issue seems to be that it’s going to be the
first two-story in the neighborhood, and we’ve had this discussion before; there is always going to be a first. I think maybe a different way to think about it is if we
don’t allow this two-story, are we then going to say that you can only build one-stories in this neighborhood? That seems to me to be a prohibitive limitation given what
properties and real estate costs in Los Gatos, and of
course we have a mandate to try to include our housing
inventory/housing stock. It seems to me that given that they are in the proscriptions and the only violation seems to be that it doesn’t fit the neighborhood, I think, again, this is probably one of those examples of a neighborhood that will likely change as time goes on, and somebody has to be first.

So, generally thinking, those are my thoughts.

Again, unless we’re going to require only one-story homes in this neighborhood, or require below-grade construction, which is expensive, I don’t see an alternative to allowing the first two-story home to be built. Thank you, Chair.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: Thank you. Commissioner
Burnett.

COMMISSIONER BURNETT: Yes, thank you. My
feelings are I really agree with Commissioner Barnett. When you look at the Design Guidelines, you can go through,
there are many numbers starting with 2.1, neighborhood
patterns that this home does not fit in, and what
Commissioner Raspe is saying is that if we don’t do this, then there are no two-story homes. I don’t think that’s what we’re saying.

I think we’re saying this is too large. You can
have a two-story home. You can have a one-and-a-half-story home that would fit more with the neighborhood and be more in line with the feeling of a neighborhood. The bulk and mass of this is, I think, way out of scale; even our Staff recommended a denial of this project because of that.

So, I don’t think we’re saying you can’t have a
two-story home. There are two-story homes in the area, but I think this one is way above. I mean, it’s 1,237 square

feet larger than any other home in the area, so I think you can do homes, but I think this is just too large of a home, and I think the style is not congruent with the
neighborhood as well.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: Any other comments?
Commissioner Stump.

COMMISSIONER STUMP: I think this is a project
that we’re truly on the fence in some ways. I appreciate Commissioner Raspe’s position on this as well, and I think it’s got a lot of merit based on all the things that they do conform with, and I can definitely see both sides to this story, definitely, so I’m not sure even as I’m saying this what direction I’m fully leaning, so I look forward to hearing a few more comments made.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: Commissioner Sordi.

COMMISSIONER SORDI: Happy to make a few more
comments. With respect to the two-story issue, I think I’m aligned pretty well with Commissioner Raspe. I think that you’re dealing with a neighborhood with much older homes, completely different era of architecture. You’re also
dealing with a neighborhood that’s really eclectic in terms of styles, lot sizes, you’ve got a whole lot of different stuff going on there and there’s not a uniform pattern or vision, even with respect to architectural styles, so the

line of questioning I was following was a little bit more focused on the Design Guidelines and Development Standards not affecting any one person unfairly, and so I’m focused a lot on that immediate next door neighbor, but with respect to the greater neighborhood, I’m not to hung up on having a two-story house; I’ll just say that.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: I’ll add my own comments,
because I agree. I see it both sides, and I think through many years we’ve seen a lot of homes that do feel like they are at a point of transition, whether we’re talking about a neighborhood that newer people are moving in, remodeling the homes, or going from a Commercial zone to a Residential zone, and one of the things we’ve consistently talked about during those types of meetings with a home at that kind of transition point is how you help the homeowners blend in with the overarching neighborhood, and that is one of the things that is consistently said when you are looking at a neighborhood or a zone that has predominantly single-story homes. But we are realistic. You’re right, it’s expensive to buy homes here. I think people should be able to have room for their families, so you’re not opposed to having a second story.

There has been a lot of discussions about how you
make the second story a little bit less visible at the

front vertical plane, and usually that’s by setting that back from the front at a minimum of 5’, having a lower
plate height on the second story, doing things that just make that second floor more sensitive. I know that that’s been a comment through the years that we’ve discussed a lot with neighborhoods in transition, because I am very much in agreement that I am not opposed to this being a second
story.

My concern is when you visually look at the
compatibility in the neighborhood, how you have a secondstory home blend in with the immediate neighborhood, so to me a second story is fine.

I also think the architectural styles through
this neighborhood run the gamut, so I don’t have a problem with the architectural style either.

I think the main thing is that the bulk and mass,
that the sidewalk, I guess, is the way I’ll say that, and I think that that could probably be resolved by making the second-floor setback with a smaller floor plate.

That would be my comments. Commissioner Raspe.

COMMISSIONER RASPE: Thank you, Chair. Actually,
I’m going to join in the Chair’s comments. Again, I voice my opinion regarding two stories generally, and this home specifically, stylistically I think it’s a well done home,

but I think they’re probably correct, there’s probably a way to break up the front massing at least without altering too much the practical uses of the second floor of the
building, so I would enjoy exploring that a little bit, although I think as a commission it’s not our job to
redesign the building.

I also want to just float out there, I think
there are three considerations before us tonight, one of which is the demolition and construction, but the zoning and the grading, and in my view, as long as we should touch on those. It seems to me that this house is kind of an
anomaly already in that it is a Residential zoned Office, so cleaning that up, I would move to recommend to Town
Council that they approve that, and grading seems to me to be not overly problematic on this particular site, so with respect to those two issues.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: I think you were cheating off
my notes. So, yes, the exact thing I was going to say is how about we address the zoning change? Do any
Commissioners have any concerns or issues with this zoning change? Excellent.

And then the same thing, the Grading Permit. Does
anyone have any concerns about the Grading Permit? Okay, so great. Two checkmarks against those.

Basically, now we’re at the point with the
Architecture and Site. Does anyone want to venture a
motion? Is there any further discussion? Commissioner
Raspe.

COMMISSIONER RASPE: Chair, let me proffer a
solution, and based just on your discussion, and I think you and I, Commissioner Stump, and I’m not sure where… I think we’re aligned; four of us would be amenable to
recommending to Town Council to approve a two-story
structure on this lot, including these plans, subject to our provision of the front façade to break up the massing at least on the Capri Drive of the property. If I were to make a motion and recommendation, that would be it. So, if you want to take a straw vote among the Commissioner to see if that works, great.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: Any comments? Commissioner
Stump.

COMMISSIONER STUMP: I was going to say I agree.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: Commissioner Burnett.

COMMISSIONER BURNETT: Can you be more specific
about how much mass? What would that look like? We’re not going to see it again. Who would be in charge of…
VICE CHAIR BURCH: In the Residential Design
Guidelines 3.3.2 there is a note about the second floor

being set back a minimum of 5’. Would you be comfortable if you added that comment to your motion?
COMMISSIONER BURNETT: I think they need more
direction from us.

COMMISSIONER RASPE: That would be perfect.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: Does that answer your
questions? If we included something that tied directly back to the Residential Design Guidelines?
COMMISSIONER BURNETT: Yes.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: Okay. Any other comments?
Commissioner Barnett.

COMMISSIONER BARNETT: I’ll clarify that. I’m
certainly okay with a two-story home. For me, the issue is not the setback, although that would help the front façade a lot, but the overall mass I think is still a problem in relation to the neighborhood. Yes, neighborhoods
transition, they have to, and there shouldn’t be a
restraint that certainly homes conform in size and mass to the existing, but I think here it’s out of scale, and so I’m not comfortable saying that just dealing with the
façade is sufficient. Otherwise, I think I’m in agreement with everyone else.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: Okay. Commissioner Burnett.

COMMISSIONER BURNETT: Actually, I still do agree
with Commissioner Barnett. Setting the second story back is maybe a step, but I still have the same concerns he does on this issue, so I wouldn’t be supporting it.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: Okay. Commissioner Sordi.

COMMISSIONER SORDI: One thing I kind of
overlooked since we’re so focused on the structure, I did want to make sure that we address screening, since it seems like the Applicant has a pretty good reason to not move the house farther to the north as I suggested, and I don't know that we have seen sufficient detail or whether we should just prescribe more specific detail associated with the screening on the south side to protect the neighbor’s
privacy.

I think that I saw in the packet that there were
like three 24-inch box trees in the front yard, new, to be planted, and if we could at least match that on the side.

I’m not an expert on landscaping, but if we could have
something that’s robust and significant enough that we do address privacy issues on the south side. I just want to make sure we get that in the motion.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: I think that’s a good idea. I
think we could direct them to work with Staff on that
specific item. Commissioner Raspe.

Mr. Safty, do you need one motion for three
recommendations? Since my suspicion is that Commissioners are not going to be aligned on all three points, how would you like to see the recommendation to Town Council?
RYAN SAFTY: Thank you for the question. I’d
recommend following the findings in breaking it out into two pieces, the zone change and the Architecture and Site Application. Technically the Grading Permit is tied into the Architecture and Site Application.

One other thing to note is that if the Planning
Commission wants to go with the proposed changes that were shown in the slides, that we need to condition those. Staff has not received those updated plans.

COMMISSIONER RASPE: Chair, let’s try the zoning
motion first.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: That would be great.

COMMISSIONER RASPE: Then I move to recommend to
Town Council with respect to the property located at 14331 Capri Drive, APN 406-32-004, Architecture and Site
Application S-24-043, and Zone Change Application Z-23-005, that Town Council approve the request for a Zone Change from O, Office, to R-1:8, and I can make all the required findings as set forth in our packet.

Now, who wants to venture a motion on the second
half of this application?
COMMISSIONER RASPE: I can try again.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: I appreciate you today.

COMMISSIONER RASPE: I would move to recommend
approval to Town Council with respect to the demolition of an existing single-family residence and the construction of a new single-family residence, and site improvements,
including a Grading Permit, to property located at 14331 Capri Drive, APN 406-32-004, Architecture and Site
Application S-24-043, and Zone Change Application Z-23-005.

I can make all required findings as set forth in
our packet, with the following further recommendations to Town Council. First, that with respect to the second floor there be a 5’ setback incorporated as per our Design
Guidelines; that there be on the south side of the building a screening such that privacy is ensured between the
adjoining property neighbors; the other conditions as set

forth in tonight’s discussion, which the Applicant put
forth on the screen but were not necessarily included in our packet, that those would be included as part of our recommendations. I can make all required findings.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: I want to ask a quick question
of Mr. Safty. As far as the screening goes, when we are doing something like this and prescribing it from up here, but we want to make sure that the screening is meeting the privacy needs of the neighbor, do we normally need to say something like that is approved by the neighbor also? Do you get something in writing? How do you typically go about that?
DIRECTOR PAULSON: I’ll jump in. I think here we
have a little bit of time, because this is going to be a recommendation to Council, so that will give the
Applicant’s team time to prepare potentially any revisions they’re going to propose to try to address the conditions that are being added in addition to the screening that is proposed. As I think the neighbor mentioned, that was the first time she had seen it, so she would like to have the chance to take a look at it, so I think there will be some time for some back and forth there on that, so I think at this point we’re okay.

COMMISSIONER RASPE: Sure. I referenced in my
motion the second story 5’ setbacks in accordance with the Residential Design Guidelines. I believe that was the
extent of my reference to them.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: All right, is there a second?
Oh, sorry, Commissioner Sordi.

COMMISSIONER SORDI: Just a clarifying question.

At least the way I read the plans, right now there is a setback of 5’, I think, at least on the south side of the second story as compared to the first story. I just wanted to clarify.

COMMISSIONER RASPE: To clarify my motion, 5’
setback from the Capri Drive side.

COMMISSIONER SORDI: Oh, from the Capri side. Got
it, okay. Not the south side. It’s additional from the
Capri side. Got it. Okay, thank you.

CEQA:

The project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to the adopted Guidelines for the Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15061(b)(3): Common Sense Exemption.

FINDINGS:
 The application is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15061(b)(3), in that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed amendment to the Town Code will have a significant effect on the environment.

The application proposes to change the zoning classification of a property to be consistent with the underlining General Plan Land Use Designation. The associated Architecture and Site Application (S-24-043) for construction of a new residence and site grading is Categorically Exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15303:

New Construction.
 The proposed zone change is consistent with the General Plan and its Elements.

ACTION:

The Planning Commission will provide a recommendation to the Town Council who will render the final decision on the proposal.

BACKGROUND:

The subject property is located at the southwest corner of Capri Drive and Vasona Avenue (Exhibit 1). The 13,092-square foot lot is zoned O (Office) and is currently developed with a 1,128-square foot single-family residence and a detached, 1,150-square foot, two-story structure which includes two permitted Accessory Dwelling Units, one on each floor.

The applicant submitted an Architecture and Site application (S-24-043) to demolish the existing residence and construct a new, two-story single-family residence and associated site grading, and a Zone Change application to change the property zoning from O (Office) to R-1:8 (Single-Family Residential) to match the existing and proposed use and underlining General Plan Land Use Designation of Low Density Residential. The proposed zone change requires a recommendation from the Planning Commission with a final decision being made by the Town Council.

SUBJECT: 14331 Capri Drive/ Z-23-005
DATE: September 5, 2025
This Zone Change application, as well as the associated Architecture and Site application, was reviewed by the Planning Commission on June 25, 2025. The Planning Commission forwarded a recommendation for approval to the Town Council on both applications (Exhibit 4). However, following this meeting and in consultation with the Town Attorney, it was determined that the Zone Change application did not receive proper public notification pursuant to Government Code Section 65854. Therefore, this application, with proper noticing, is coming back before the Planning Commission for a recommendation to the Town Council.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

A. Location and Surrounding Neighborhood
The subject property is 13,092 square feet, located at the southwest corner of Capri Drive and Vasona Avenue (Exhibit 1). The property is currently developed with a 1,128-square foot single-family residence and a detached, 1,150-square foot, two-story structure including two permitted ADUs. Single-family residential development surrounds the property with a commercial use located across Capri Drive, east of the subject site.

B. Project Summary
The applicant proposes a zone change from O (Office) to R-1:8 (Single-Family Residential) (Exhibit 5).

C. Zoning Compliance
A single-family residence is a permitted use in the R-1:8 zone. The proposed residence, with approval of the zone change, is in compliance with the maximum allowable floor area, building height, setbacks, lot coverage, and on-site parking requirements for the property, applicable to the R-1:8 zone.

DISCUSSION:

A. Zone Change Analysis
To facilitate the Architecture and Site application for a new single-family residence, the applicant is requesting approval of a zone change from O to R-1:8. Residential is not a permitted use in the O zone, and residential uses are only allowed in the O zone with a Conditional Use Permit when a part of a mixed-use project. The proposal to demolish and replace the existing single-family residence necessitates this zone change.

ITEM NO. 11.

PAGE 4 OF 5
SUBJECT: 14331 Capri Drive/ Z-23-005
DATE: September 5, 2025
The property is zoned O, but has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Low Density Residential. The surrounding neighboring properties on the west side of Capri Drive are all zoned R-1:8 (Exhibit 1). The proposed zone change from O to R-1:8 is consistent with the surrounding neighborhood.

The applicant proposes a new single-family residence on a R-1:8 zoned property. Singlefamily residential is a permitted use in the R-1:8 zone. The 13,092-square foot property complies with the 8,000-square foot minimum lot size, as well as the minimum frontage and depth requirements for R-1:8 properties. The proposed new residence would comply with all applicable R-1:8 zoning requirements, including maximum allowable floor area, building height, setbacks, lot coverage, and on-site parking requirements.

B. General Plan
The proposed R-1:8 zoning would conform with the existing General Plan Land Use designation of Low Density Residential. Pursuant to the General Plan, “the Low Density Residential designation provides for single-family residential properties located on generally level terrain.”
The surrounding neighboring properties on the west side of Capri Drive all have a Low Density Residential General Plan Designation and are zoned R-1:8 (Exhibit 1). The proposed zone change from O to R-1:8 is consistent with both the General Plan and surrounding neighborhood.

PUBLIC COMMENTS:

Story poles (for the Architecture and Site application) and signage (for both applications) were installed on the site and written notice was sent to property owners and tenants located within 300 feet of the subject property. One public comment was received prior to the June 25, 2025, Planning Commission hearing, which was related to the design of the residence. No public comment was received regarding the Zone Change application. At time of publication of this report, no additional public comments have been received.

CONCLUSION:

A. Summary
Due to a public noticing error, this Zone Change application is coming back before the Planning Commission for a recommendation to the Town Council on approval. On June 25, 2025, the Planning Commission unanimously forwarded a recommendation of approval on the Zone Change application to the Town Council. The proposed zone change would be consistent with the existing General Plan Land Use Designation and the existing pattern of land uses and zones surrounding the subject parcel (Exhibit 1).

Opened Public Comment.

Kevin Yu (Architect)
Our intent is to design a home that blends into the existing neighborhood, enhances the overall aesthetic, contributes to the area’s long-term value, and benefits the community as a whole. The building complies with the setback requirements, height, FAR, and the General Plan. 16 trees were preserved for privacy screening and natural shade. This project will use highquality materials and craftmanship. We have adjusted our plans in consideration of the community feedback, such as reduced window sizes, flushed the wall of the master bedroom to increase the distance from the building to the properly line, added privacy planting to alleviate the direct line of sight into the neighboring property, and reduced the floor area. This project is the third tallest and the fourth largest in terms of FAR.

Michelle McCormick,
I am the neighbor at 14333 Capri Drive. I appreciate the architects making adjustments, but I had brought up concerns to the homeowner regarding the size of the building. For our direct neighborhood, Knowles is down the road and is our main street, but the proposed home, although beautiful, is huge and out of place in our neighborhood. The lot is so deep it would be easy to build a beautiful one-story home there. The garage is the original structure that went with the old home that is now demolished, and it doesn’t match this new modern proposed home.

Closed Public Comment.

Commissioners discussed the matter.

MOTION: Motion by Commissioner Raspe to recommend Town Council approval of a Zone Change application for 14331 Capri Drive. Seconded by Commissioner Stump.

VOTE: Motion passed unanimously.

MOTION: Motion by Commissioner Raspe to recommend Town Council approval of an Architecture and Site Application, including a Grading Permit, for 14331 Capri Drive, with added recommendations to modify the plans to incorporate a five-foot second-floor setback consistent with Residential Design Guideline 3.3.2, and inclusion of the applicant’s design suggestions noted during the hearing to modify the master bedroom window size, recess the wall, and incorporate planting screening.

Letter of Justification For Zone Change
This application is requesting a zone change from O (Office) to R-1:8 (Single-Family Residential). The existing condition of the site consists of a single-family residence and a two -story detached accessory dwelling units (one on first floor and one on 2nd floor). In addition, the zoning of the adjacent neighborhood is R-1:8, except for the property facing roughly Northeast which is zone C1. Yet, that property is not really part of the neighborhood as the right of way is facing out towards Winchester Blvd.

Proceeding forward with the zone change from O to R-1:8, which we believed, will be beneficial to the whole area as it matches the surrounding residential neighborhood. We also recognized that the Town of Los Gatos’s general plan land use indicates the area to be Low Density Residential which adds supporting evidence to the zone change. Furthermore, it doesn’t make sense to keep the existing zone (Office) as developing future office space does not conform with the existing residential neighborhood.

With the Town’s approval, this will make it feasible for the property owner’s wishes to construct a future proposed single family residence through Architectural & Site Review after the zone change. The proposed single family residence will replace the existing one-story single family residence, while the two-story detached accessory dwelling unit will remain. The new proposed single residence will enrich the neighborhood and enhance the land value throughout.

P R O C E E D I N G S:

CHAIR THOMAS: We will now move on to our public
hearings, starting with Item 2. Item 2 is to consider a request for approval of a zone change from Office (O) to R1:8 (Single-Family Residential, Minimum Lot Size of 8,000 square feet). Located at 14331 Capris Drive. APN 406-32- 004. Zone Change Application Z-23-005. Categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3): Common Sense Exemption. Property owner is Ravi Kiran Vallamdas.

The Applicant is Gordon K. Wong.

Before the Staff Report, may I have a show of
hands from Commissioners who visited the site? And are
there any disclosures? Okay, great. Mr. Mullin, you have the Staff Report for us?
SEAN MULLIN: Yes, thank you and good evening.

The Applicant is requesting approval for a zone change from Office to Single-Family Residential. Zone changes require Town Council approval, and therefore this is coming before the Planning Commission for a recommendation to the
Council, who will render the final decision.

The application, as well as the associated
Architecture and Site Application for a new residence was

reviewed by the Planning Commission on June 25th of this year. The Planning Commission forwarded a recommendation of approval to the Town Council on both applications, however, following the meeting, and in consultation with the Town Attorney, it was determined that the Zone Change
Application did not receive proper public noticing, and therefore this application with proper noticing is coming back before the Planning Commission for a new
recommendation to the Town Council.

The property is located on the corner of Capri
Drive and Vasona Avenue. The property is currently zoned Office, but has a General Plan designation of Low Density Residential. The surrounding properties on the west side of Capri Drive all have the Low Density Residential General Plan land use designation and all are zoned R-1:8, except the subject property. As residential use is not a permitted use in the Office zone, the application for a residence necessitates this zone change.

As noted in the Staff Report, Staff recommends
approval of the zone change, as it would be consistent with the surrounding neighborhood and General Plan designation.

No public comments on this Zone Change Application have been received.

This concludes Staff’s report and we’re happy to
answer any questions.

CHAIR THOMAS: Thank you. Are there any questions
for Staff at this time? Commissioner Raspe.

COMMISSIONER RASPE: Thank you, Chair. Thank you,
Mr. Mullin. I just want to confirm, when we first heard this there was both a zoning change and a site application, and during the hearing on the site application we made
recommendations regarding design setback, etc. I just want to confirm, for tonight’s hearing we do not have to
reexamine either the site application or those specific recommendations. Those are still part of our record and our recommendations to Town Council, is that right?
SEAN MULLIN: Yes, that’s correct. The
Architecture and Site Application is waiting for Town
Council review. It’s waiting on the recommendation that we’ll receive tonight, and then we’ll forward those
together as a package, and the recommendation to Council will include the Planning Commission’s recommended changes and conditions.

COMMISSIONER RASPE: Thank you, Mr. Mullin. Thank
you, Chair.

CHAIR THOMAS: Thank you for that clarification.

Any other questions? We will now open the public portion of

the public hearing on Item 2 and give the Applicant, or whoever is speaking on behalf of the Applicant, an
opportunity to address the Commission for up to five
minutes. You can come up to the podium, please, and state your name, and then you’ll have five minutes.

KEVIN YU: Good evening, everyone. My name is
Kevin, and I’m here as the project representative on behalf of the owner and GKW Architects. It’s good to see you all, and hopefully today we can address the concerns and
compliance work for this project, which was brought up at the last hearing dated June 25th.

During the last hearing the primary concern was
the mass of the house, and per Town Council recommendation we set the second story front facade 5 feet back, and you can view these changes on the proposed site plan in Sheet G-000, the floor plans on Sheet A-102, and the proposed elevation on Sheet A-200.

By incorporating the 5-foot setback at the second
story the floor area has been reduced by a total of 338 square feet. There is also a reduction of FAR from 26.8% to

24.2%, and also a reduction of lot coverage from 22.5% to

22.26%.

If you were to look at plans A-200, we also made
three additional changes that were discussed at the last

hearing, which is the window reduction at the south side at the master bedroom; we also eliminated a 1-foot bump-out and flushed that wall to align; and lastly, we also
provided additional privacy screen trees, and the type is Kindred Spirit Hybrid Oak. We propose six counts to ensure that the next-door neighbor wouldn’t have any privacy
issue.

I think that should be all for the changes, and
we really hope that these changes actually meet the Town Council’s recommendation. Thank you.

CHAIR THOMAS: Thank you. Before you sit down, do
we have any questions for the Applicant at this time? No.

Okay, thank you.

Now we will invite comments from members of the
public. If you have not already turned in a speaker card to Staff, please do so at this time, or use the raised hand feature on Zoom. Is anyone on Zoom?
DIRECTOR PAULSON: There are no hands raised on
Zoom.

CHAIR THOMAS: Okay. Then we will invite you back
up to make a closing statement. You also don’t have to make another statement if you don’t need to, but we might have questions for you, so if you could come back up to the
podium. Is there anything else that you would like to add?

CHAIR THOMAS: We will now close the public
portion of the hearing on Item 2, and I invite
Commissioners to ask questions of Staff, provide comments, and eventually propose a motion.

I would just like to say that I appreciate the
communication about the changes, but as Commissioner Raspe asked a clarifying question about, we are here tonight to make a decision about the zoning change because of the
public noticing, and we have received no comments about that. Commissioner Raspe, thank you.

COMMISSIONER RASPE: Thank you, Chair. I think
we’re here tonight largely for a technical issue on
something resembling the notice provisions, and in
reviewing our notes it appears that this Commission voted unanimously on the zoning change issue last time. I don’t think I’ve seen anything in the record to indicate that my vote would change, and so I would recommend passing that provision so that this development could continue.

I would also add to the Chair’s comments thanking
the Applicant for making those changes that were requested

by the Commission with respect to the Architecture and Site Application. Those are my comments.

CHAIR THOMAS: Commissioner Barnett.

COMMISSIONER BARNETT: If it’s not premature, I’d
be happy to make a motion, given that this was unanimously approved previously, as Commissioner Raspe pointed out. May I? Okay, thank you.

Concerning Item 2 on tonight’s calendar
concerning a request for approval of a zone change from Office to R-1:8, property located at 14331 Capri Drive, I move to forward a recommendation to the Town Council for approval of the Zone Change Application. I can make the finding that the project is not subject to CEQA; that the proposed zone change is consistent with the General Plan and its elements, Exhibit 2; and move to forward the
recommendation of Zone Change Application Z-23-005 to the Town Council.

CHAIR THOMAS: Vice Chair Burch.

VICE CHAIR BURCH: I will second the motion.

CHAIR THOMAS: Thank you. Any discussion. I’ll
call the question. All those in favor, please raise your hand. It passes unanimously. Are there are no appeal rights because this is a recommendation to Council?
DIRECTOR PAULSON: That’s correct.

MITIGATION FOR REMOVAL PER ARBORIST'S RECOMMENDATIONS:

THE TABLE ABOVE INDICATES THE RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT VALUES (TABLE 2).

TO MEASURE AN ASYMMETRICAL CANOPY OF A TREE, THE WIDEST MEASUREMENT SHALL BE USED TO DETERMINE CANOPY SIZE.

OFTEN, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO REPLACE A SINGLE LARGE, OLDER TREE WITH AN EQUIVALENT TREE(S). IN THIS CASE, THE TREE

MAY BE REPLACED WITH A COMBINATION OF BOTH THE TREE CANOPY REPLACEMENT STANDARD AND IN-LIEU PAYMENT IN AN AMOUNT SET FORTH BY TOWN COUNCIL RESOLUTION PAID TO THE TOWN TREE REPLACEMENT FUND.

SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL REPLACEMENT OPTION IS AVAILABLE FOR DEVELOPED SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS UNDER 10,000 SQUARE FEET THAT ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE TOWN'S HILLSIDE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES. ALL 15- GALLON TREES MUST BE PLANTED ON-SITE. ANY IN-LIEU FEES FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL SHALL BE BASED ON 24" BOX TREE RATES AS ADOPTED BY TOWN COUNCIL.

REPLACEMENT TREES SHALL BE APPROVED BY THE TOWN ARBORIST AND SHALL BE OF A SPECIES SUITED TO THE AVAILABLE

PLANTING LOCATION, PROXIMITY TO STRUCTURES, OVERHEAD CLEARANCES, SOIL TYPE, COMPATIBILITY WITH SURROUNDING CANOPY AND OTHER RELEVANT FACTORS. REPLACEMENT WITH NATIVE SPECIES SHALL BE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED.

REPLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS IN THE HILLSIDES SHALL COMPLY WITH THE HILLSIDE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES APPENDIX A AND SECTION 29.10.0987 SPECIAL PROVISIONS - HILLSIDES.

SECTION 29.10.1005 - PROTECTION OF TREES DURING CONSTRUCTION:

TREE PROTECTION ZONES & FENCE SPECIFICATIONS
SIZE AND MATERIALS: SIX (6) FOOT HIGH CHAIN LINK FENCING, MOUNTED ON TWO-INCH DIAMETER GALVANIZED IRON POSTS, SHALL BE DRIVER INTO THE GROUND TO A DEPTH OF AT LEAST TWO (2) FEET AT NO MORE THAN TEN-FOOT SPACING. FOR

PAVING AREA THAT WILL NOT BE DEMOLISHED AND WHEN STIPULATED IN A TREE PRESERVATION, POSTS MAY BE SUPPORTED BY A CONCRETE BASE.

AREA TYPE TO BE FENCED: TYPE I: ENCLOSURE WITH CHAIN LINK FENCING OF EITHER THE ENTIRE DRIPLINE AREA OR AT THE TREE PROTECTION ZONE (TPZ) WHEN SPECIFIED BY A CERTIFIED OR CONSULTING ARBORIST. TYPE II: ENCLOSURE FOR STREET TREES LOCATED IN A PLANTER STRIP: CHAIN LINK FENCE AROUND THE ENTIRE PLANTER STRIP TO THE OUTER BRANCHES. TYPE III: PROTECTION FOR A TREE LOCATED IN A SMALL PLANTER CUTOUT ONLY (SUCH AS DOWNTOWN): ORANGE PLASTIC FENCING

SHALL BE WRAPPED AROUND THE TRUNK FROM TH EGROUND TO THE FIRST BRANCH WITH TWO-INCH WOODEN BOARDS BOUND SECURELY ON THE OUTSIDE. CAUTION SHALL BE USED TO AVOID DAMAGING ANY BARK OR BRANCHES.

DURATION OF TYPE I, II, III FENCING: FENCING SHALL BE ERECTED BEFORE DEMOLITION, GRADING, OR CONSTRUCTION PERMITS ARE ISSUED AND REMAIN IN PLACE UNTIL THE WORK IS COMPLETED. CONTRACTOR SHALL FIRST OBTAIN THE APPROVAL OF THE PROJECT ARBORIST ON RECORD PRIOR TO REMOVING A TREE PROTECTION FENCE.

WARNING SIGN: EACH TREE FENCE SHALL HAVE PROMINENTLY DISPLAYED AN EIGHT AND ONE-HALF-INCH BY ELEVEN-INCH SIGN STATING: "WARNING - TREE PROTECTION ZONE - THIS FENCE SHALL NOT BE REMOVED AND IS SUBJECT TO PENALTY ACCORDING TO TOWN CODE 29.10.1025." TEXT ON THE SIGNS SHOULD BE IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH (APPENDIX E).

1. 2.

3. 4.

PLAN NOTES PER ARBORIST'S RECOMMENDATIONS:

PLACE 4 - 6 INCHES OF MULCH INSIDE THE TREE PROTECTION ZONE. INSTALL TEMPORARY IRRIGATION OR SOAKED HOSES IN THE TPZ. MONITOR WATERING TIMES OR AMOUNTS TO ENSURE ADEQUATE SOIL SATURATION. (A 5/8” SOAKER HOSE REQUIRES ABOUT 200 MINUTES TO DELIVER ONE INCH OF WATER TO A GARDEN. THIS NUMBER IS AFFECTED BY THE LENGTH OF THE HOSE AND THE OVERALL RATE OF FLOW FROM THE FAUCET. A GOOD RULE OF THUMB IS TO EXPECT ABOUT ½ GPM AS A STANDARD FAUCET FLOW RATE.) INFREQUENT DEEPER WATERING IS PREFERRED.

ALL TREE MAINTENANCE AND CARE SHALL BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED ARBORIST WITH A C-61/D-49 CALIFORNIA CONTRACTORS LICENSE. TREE MAINTENANCE AND CARE SHALL BE SPECIFIED IN WRITING ACCORDING TO AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD FOR TREE CARE OPERATIONS: TREE, SHRUB, AND OTHER WOODY PLANT MANAGEMENT: STANDARD PRACTICES PARTS 1 THROUGH 10 AND ADHERE TO ANSI Z133.1 SAFETY STANDARDS AND LOCAL REGULATIONS. ALL MAINTENANCE IS TO BE PERFORMED ACCORDING TO ISA BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES.

REFER TO APPENDIX D FOR GENERAL TREE PROTECTION GUIDELINES INCLUDING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ARBORIST ASSISTANCE WHILE WORKING UNDER TREES, TRENCHING, OR EXCAVATION WITHIN A TREES DRIP LINE OR DESIGNATED TPZ/CRZ.

PROVIDE A COPY OF THIS REPORT TO ALL CONTRACTORS AND PROJECT MANAGERS, INCLUDING THE ARCHITECT, CIVIL ENGINEER, AND LANDSCAPE DESIGNER OR ARCHITECT. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER TO ENSURE ALL PARTIES ARE FAMILIAR WITH THIS DOCUMENT. ARRANGE A PRE-CONSTRUCTION MEETING WITH THE PROJECT ARBORIST OR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT TO VERIFY TREE PROTECTION IS IN PLACE, WITH THE CORRECT MATERIALS, AND AT PROPER DISTANCES.
