HomeMy WebLinkAboutStaff Report 179-05chapter. A list of corrections (errata sheet) to the LDR chapter following thecomrnunity
meetings are included as Attachment B.
The revised Low Density Residential Chapter (Attachment A) reflects the changes recommended
by the PTC. Revisions from existing ordinance language and requirements are highlighted in a
strikethrough/underlined format. A Summary Table of Key Revisions (provided to Council
members under separate cover and available to the public on the ZOU website) outlines the
changes from current requirements and highlights those areas where changes are different than
those already discussed and recommended in the R-I chapter. Changes resulting from the
discussion of applicable R-I issues would also be reflected in the LDR chapter as well. In
particular, the following issues in the LDR zones should be modified pursuant to the R-I
discussions.
Second Stories on Substandard Lots
The proposed provisions for the R-2 district include regulations on substandard lots similar to
those for the R-I zone, including allowing for second story homes, subject to the Individual
Review process. For the R-I zone, staff has offered an alternative to allow second stories, but
with a maximum of 24 feet in height and only on lots with widths of30 feet or greater. If this or
another alternative are adopted for R-I, staff recommends that the same requirement be applied
to R-2 substandard lots.
Second Dwelling Units in R-2 and RE Districts
The proposed ordinance would, similar to the R-I revisions, allow for small (450 square feet or
less) second units in the R-2 District on lots of 6,000 to 7,500 square feet, consistent with the
recommendation for R-I lots of that size. If the minimum lot size in R-I is increased to 7,000
square feet, staff recommends that such change not apply in R-2, so that small units would still
be allowed on 6,000 square foot lots. The basis for this recommendation is that R-2 lots are
generally intended to accommodate two units and staff believes that small second units are
consistent with this district and the desire to encourage additional second units.
Recommendations for second units in the RE district would allow for small second units (450
square feet or less) on lots smaller than one acre in size, but larger than 7,500 square feet. Any
changes to the R-I chapter should not affect this recommendation.
Maximum Lot Sizes/Lot Mergers
The LDR chapter includes the creation of maximum lot sizes in the R-2 and RMD zones that are
just less than twice the minimum lot size to discourage lot mergers that could result in the
reduction of potential housing units in the City and would protect against construction of larger
homes (after the lot merger) that could be out of character for the neighborhood. Exceptions are
provided for cases where lot mergers are required to eliminate nonconformities and to allow for
lot mergers that do not reduce the number of lots or potential housing units. These provisions are
intended to implement Housing Element Program H-5 and are virtually identical to those
proposed in the R-I chapter. If the R-I requirements are modified, the R-2 and RMD provisions
should be revised accordingly.

18.10.010 Purposes
Three low-density residential districts are defined in this chapter. Requirements for the
Single Family Residential CR-l) District and related subdistricts and combining districts
are included in Chapter 18.12. The specific purpose of each low-density residential
district is stated below:
. (a) Residential Estate District [RE]
The RE residential estate district is intended to create and maintain single-family
living areas characterized by compatibility with the natural terrain and native
vegetationve environment. The RE district provides locations for residential,
limited agricultural, and open space activities most suitably located in areas of very
low density or rural qualities. Second Accessory dwelling units and ether accessory
structures or buildings are appropriate where consistent with the site and
neighborhood character. Community uses and facilities should be limited unless no
net loss of housing units would result.
(b) Two Family Residential District [R-2]
The R-2 two-family residence district is intended to allow a second dwelling unit
under the same ownership as the initial dwelling unit on appropriate sites in areas
designated for single-family use by the Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan, under
regulations that preserve the essential character of single-family use. Community
uses and facilities should be limited unless no net loss of housing would result.
18.10.040 Development Standards
(i) Second story additions or new two-story structures are subject to the
Single Family Individual Review guidelines and review process
described in Section 18.12.110.
(ii) Forlots less than 50' in width, the required street side setback shall
be 10 feet.
(iii) Site coverage for a two-story structure: 40%.
~Nothing in this subsection (c) shall affect or otherwise redefine the
provisions of Section 18.88.050(a) as to whether a substandard lot may be
used as a lot under this title.
(2)' Flag Lots
(A) A flag lot shall be defined as set forth in Section 18.04.84(B).
(B) Flag Lot Development Standards:
(i) The maximum height shall be 17 feet, as measured to the peak of
the roof .
.GiL There shall be a limit of one habitable floor. Habitable floors
include lofts, mezzanines, and similar areas with interior heights
of five feet (5') or more from the roof to the floor, but shall
exclude basements and shall exclude attics that have no stairway
or built-in access. The chief building official shall make the final
determination as to whether a floor is habitable.
(iii) Front Setback: 10 feet. Flag lots are not subject to contextual
front setback requirements.
(iv) Flag lots are not subject to contextual garage placement
requirements.
(c) Maximum Lot Sizes in R-2 and RMD Districts
This provision limits the potential for lot combinations with a net loss of housing
stock and resultant homes that would be out of scale with homes in the surrounding
neighborhood. In the R-2 and RMD districts, no new lot shall be created equal to or
exceeding two times the minimum lot size prescribed for the district, as prescribed
in Table 2. Lots larger than the prescribed maximum size are permitted only under
the following circumstances: (i) where a Village Residential land use is approved
concurrent with the new lot, resulting in no net loss of housing on the site(s); (ii)
where underlying lots must be merged to eliminate nonconformities and no net loss
of housing units would result; and (iii) where an adjacent substandard lot ofless
than 25 feet in width is combined with another lot, resulting in no net loss of
housing units on the site.

parallel to the street at an angle of 90 degrees shall not exceed 20 feet.
(e) Special Setbacks
\
Where applicable, setback lines imposed by a special setback map pursuant to
Chapter 20.08 of this code shall be followed for the purpose of determining legal
setback requirements.
(1) Certification of Daylight Plane Compliance
Upon request by the building official, any person building or making improvements
to a structure in the low density residential districts shall provide a certification
that the structure, as built, complies with the daylight plane provisions in
subsection (a). Such certification shall be prepared by a licensed engineer,
architect, or surveyor, and shall be provided prior to frame inspection.
(g) Ligbting in R-2 District
In the R-2 district, recreational and security lighting shall be permitted only so long
as the lighting is shielded so that the direct light does not extend beyond the

(a) Purpose & Applicability.
The neighborhood preservation combining district is intended to modify the regulations
of the RMD two unit multiple-family residential district areas where it is deemed
essential to maintain the visual and historic character of existing neighborhoods. The
combining district is intended to foster retention of existing single-family structures, to
foster additions to existing properties without demolition of sound residential structures,
and to assure compatibility of design of new residential units with existing structures on
the same or surrounding properties.
Properties in the (NP) combining district are subject to the following regulations:
(b) Design Review
(1 ) Purposes
The purpose of design review of properties in an (NP) combining district is to
achieve compatibility of scale, silhouette, fa!(ade articulation, and materials
of new construction with existing structure on the same property or on
surrounding properties within a combining district.
(2) Design Review Required
For properties on,which two or more residential units are developed or
modified, design review and approval shall be required by the architectural
review board in compliance with procedures established in Chapter 16.48 for
any new development or modification to any structure on the property and for
19
18.1 0.140 Neigh~o
site amenities. No design review is required for construction of or
modifications to single-family structures that constitute the only principal
structure on a parcel ofland. No design review is required for construction of
second dwelling units on a parcel except when the second unit exceeds 900
square feet in size.
(3) Design Review Guidelines
The architectural review board shall, at its discretion, develop specific design
review guidelines for each specific area to which this combining district is
applied.
(£b) Exceptions to Development Standards
(1) . Applicability
Subject to the provisions of Section 18.35.030 and Chapters 18.67 through 18.81 and the
general purposes of this title to foster retention of existing single-family structures and to
maintain the existing historic and general character of the neighborhood, the zoning
administrator planning director may grant exceptions to site development regulations
(except limitations on residential density), parking regulations, and from the special
setback requirements of Title 20 applicable to the underlying zone district where
combined with the neighborhood preservation (NP) combining district. This exception
procedure is the exclusive procedure for procuring an exception to development
standards in the NP combining district. It is not necessary for the property owner to
obtain a variance
(2) Findings
The zoning administrator may only grant an (NP) District Exception if, from
the application or the facts presented at the public hearing, he finds:
(A) The granting of the exception will facilitate the preservation of an
existing residential structure on the same property and will be of benefit
in maintaining the existing historic and general character of the
surrounding neighborhood, and
(B) The granting of the application will not be detrimental or injurious to
property or improvements in the vicinity and will not be detrimental to
the public health, safety, general welfare, or convenience.
(3) Conditions
In granting NP District Exceptions, reasonable conditions or restrictions may
be imposed as deemed appropriate or necessary to protect the public health,
safety, general welfare, or convenience, and to secure the purposes of this
title.
(4) Procedures
Please refer to Chapters 18.76 and 18.77 for further information regarding the
procedures applicable to requests for exceptions.
