Exhibit A
Margarita View Estates
Planned Development District
L PURPOSE
The project is presently within a Planned Development — Hillside Overlay District (PD -H)
containing 13.88 acres. It fronts on Margarita on the South and a private driveway serving 3 residences
on the West. The North and upper West sections abut open space. The Natural State Requirement is
85% and the project attains a 92% Natural State. The intent of the project is to comply with the Hillside
Design Guideline and Hillside Overlay Zoning District.
2. LOT SIZES
The minimum lot sizes are as follows:
Lot A 1.05 acres
Lot B 12.83 acres
Lot line adjustments between adjoining lots will be permitted through the approval process of the
City of San Rafael. Such adjustments, if permitted, shall not result in the creation of any additional lots
and shall not cause the Natural State requirement of each lot to be exceeded, pursuant to the Hillside
Overlay Zoning District Calculation.
Lot B could be reduced to a minimum of two -acres if the remaining 10.83 acres was dedicated to
the City of San Rafael for open space.
3. BUILDING ENVELOPES
"Building Envelopes" and the open space reservation within Lot B are established on the Site
Plan prepared by Lawrence Doyle and Associates. Structures requiring permits including buildings,
accessory structures, pools, decks and similar facilities shall be constructed only within such "Building
Envelopes." No building or accessory structures shall be permitted outside the "Building Envelopes".
Landscaping, fencing, driveway and entryway improvements as defined under Section 7 below and
indicated on the approved development plan and site utilities and fire protection facilities shall be
permitted outside the "Building Envelopes".
Improvements in the portions of the lots which are not within the "Building Envelopes" shall be
limited to landscaping, gardens, fences, utilities, driveways, drainage facilities and similar uses not
requiring a permit. Development within the open space reservation within Lot B shall be limited to
vegetation management, fences, extension of utilities, fire protection facilities and drainage
improvements as indicated on the Tentative Map.
"Building Envelopes" may be adjusted with City approval as appropriate for the type of permit to
be issued. Such adjustments shall not cause the Natural State Area to fall below the required percentage.
Exhibit A-1
Exhibit A
4. MAXIMUM BUILDING AREA
The Maximum Gross Building Area permitted for each lot:
Lot A 3,300 sq. ft. Permitted Area
Lot B 6,500 sq. ft. Permitted Area
5. MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT
The maximum building height is 30 feet as measured vertically from the original existing grade
to the uppermost point of the roof edge or peak, wall, parapet, mansard or other feature perpendicular to
that grade.
6. MINIMUM REQUIRED PARKING
The minimum required parking for Lot A is already existing and established as one covered
parking space and two guest parking spaces for the already existing approximately 1500 sq. ft single
family home. Any expansion of the home will require two covered parking and two guest parking
spaces.
The minimum required parking for Lot B is two covered parking and two guest parking spaces.
The guest parking spaces may not be located within a garage or in a location that would cause the two
required covered spaces to be inaccessible.
7. LANDSCAPING AND FENCING
Landscape requirements and fencing standards and details are set forth on the sheets prepared by
Ralph Alexander and Associates.
8. VEGETATION MANAGEMENT PLAN
The vegetation management plan incorporates all appropriate fire management and defensible
space requirements of the San Rafael Fire Department as are appropriate for single-family residences in
similar topographic and vegetation areas. The landscaping plan as presented by Ralph Alexander and
Associates creates the appropriate buffer zone between the residence and open natural state areas
surrounding the residence.
9. ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS
The two residences of Margarita View Estates are specific to their respective lots.
Lot A — The existing residence was designed in the clapboard cottage style reminiscent of the
early 50's. The topographical restrictions of the sight limit the size of any expansion and remodel of the
residence. Due to the size restrictions and the uniqueness of the site the design of the future residence is
limited to two "cottage" styles: Shingle sided with a low pitch hip roof system and the traditional
"craftsman" style home with gable roof ends. Landscaping shall be designed to soften the impact of the
residence on Margarita Drive. Colors shall be muted. Final design review of the project will be
controlled by the City of San Rafael Design Review process
Exhibit A-2
Exhibit A
Lot B — The design consists of a three-level integrated colored stucco home with "terra-cotta"
colored barrel tile roofing. Driveway access follows already existing driveway cuts, includes a fire
department required radius turn reconstruction, and terminates in a textured motor courtyard. The
landscaping plan includes the addition of 59 new trees and is proposed for the immediate perimeter of the
residence and framing the driving, leaving the great majority of the property in its natural state.
Modifications to approved plans shall be processed by the Zoning Administrator.
10. PERMITTED USES
The following uses are permitted consistent with the provisions of the Residential District Land
Use Regulations in Chapter 4 of the San Rafael Zoning Code:
Single Family Residential
Home Occupations
Small Family Day Care -Home
Accessory Structures and Uses
11. CONDITIONAL USES.
None existing.
12. MAINTENANCE OF IMPROVEMENTS
There will be no new common facilities established. Each property owner will be responsible for
maintaining his/her property. A roadway maintenance agreement does not exist. However, language in
the deeds of the properties affected establishes that the "users" are responsible to maintain and improve
the roadway. The specific section recorded in each deed states: "It is understood that this easement
remains in the ownership of the property on which it is located, and that any expenses required for
maintenance or improvements of said roadway will be borne by the users thereof'. No changes are being
made to either the driveway or the existing language.
13. AMENDMENTS
Request for changes in the content of the approved PD District and development plan
shall be treated as a zoning amendment (rezoning). Rezoning shall be heard and decided by the
City Council. The procedures for filing and processing a rezoning shall be the same as those
established for an initial PD District and development plan application and consistent with
Section 14.07 and 14.27 of the San Rafael Zoning Ordinance.
a. Minor changes or additions to the PD District may be granted through either an Exception
or Environmental and Design Review Permit, as determined by the Community Development
Director.
b. If changes are determined to be minor by the Community Development Director, the
following process shall be established:
An Environmental and Design Review Permit shall be required to allow new improvements on
the site or minor changes to the architecture of the structure. The Community Development
Exhibit A-3
Exhibit A
Director shall determine whether the changes are considered Minor Physical Improvements or an
Administrative Design Permit. Once determined, the process shall be consistent with Chapter 25
of the San Rafael Zoning Ordinance. If so determined, the Community Development Director
may approve, conditionally approve, or deny applications for Environmental and Design Review
Permits consistent with the process identified in Chapter 14.25 of the San Rafael Zoning
Ordinance.
2. An Exception shall be required to allow flexibility in the application of minor site development
regulations. The Community Development Director shall determine whether proposed
improvements, changes, or additions to the PD District are minor or incidental and within the
intent and objectives of the PD District. If so determined, Community Development Director
may approve, conditionally approve, or deny applications for Exceptions consistent with the
process identified in Chapter 14.24 of the San Rafael Zoning Ordinance.
14. SUBDIVISION PROHIBITED
Further subdivision of either Lot A or Lot B is prohibited, except to facilitate dedication of open
space as described in Section 2, lot sizes.
