REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION
SUBJECT: 38 Miraflores Avenue (APN 012-052-04) Major Environmental and Design Review
Permit with an Exception to specified Hillside Development Standards and a Variance
for a new attached elevated deck and detached parking deck with associated access
pathways and landscaping; CEQA Determination: Exempt Pursuant to CEQA Guideline
15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proposed project includes the construction of a new detached parking deck at the front property
line and a new attached open deck at the rear of the residence.
The new parking deck is proposed to be situated at the front property line at Miraflores Avenue and
with a zero setback to the north side property line to provide two off-street parking spaces. The parking
deck is detached from the primary residence and will be accessible from at-grade walkways and
exterior stairs.
The Planing Commission is asked to make a recommendation on the Project to the City Council, that
will take final action.
REQUESTED ENTITLEMENTS
The project requires a Variance and a Major Environmental and Design Review Permit with Exception
from the applicable Hillside Development Standards.
In this case where the request is to reduce the setback back more than one-half (1/2) the required
distance from the property line as permitted in San Rafael Municipal Code (SRMC) Section 14.12.030(B)
a Variance is required pursuant to SRMC Chapter 14.23. The Zoning Administrator is typically the
decision-making body for a Variance, however in the case where multiple entitlements are being process
the decision is referred to the highest reviewing body.
2
In addition to increasing development within 100 vertical feet of an identified ridgeline, the addition of the
detached parking deck and attached rear deck will result in the project exceeding the natural state
requirement per SRMC Section 14.12.030(C). As such, a Major Environmental and Design Review with
an Exception with the City Council is required pursuant to SRMC Section 14.12.040.
The Planning Commission is typically the decision-making body for Major Environmental and Design
Review Permits (SRMC Chapter 14.25.020(A); 14.25.040(A)(3)(a)), while the City Council is the decision-
making body for an Exception from Hillside development standards. (SRMC Chapter 14.12.040.) As City
Council review is required for the requested Exception, the Planning Commission is asked to make
recommendations for all of the entitlements needed for this project and the City Council will act as the
decision-making body for both entitlements. (SRMC Section 14.02.020(J).)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission:
(1) Convene a public hearing.
(2) Discuss the Staff report, testimony and ask questions of the Staff, Applicant, as needed.
(3) Adopt the Resolution Recommending the City Council Approve the requested Variance and
Major Environmental and Design Review with Exception to the Hillside Development Standards.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Project includes the demolition of an existing detached deck at the interior side (north) of the
property and attached deck at the front (west) of the property. Existing exterior concrete stairs at the
north of the primary residence, retaining walls and a wood fence will remain in place and be repaired
as needed.
A new parking deck is proposed to be situated at the front property line at Miraflores Avenue and with
a zero setback to the north side property line to provide two off-street parking spaces. The deck will
be constructed of finished wood plank and will include a guardrail at three sides. The parking deck
will be open below and primarily installed on wood piers and supported at the north with a solid wall.
The total height of the parking deck and guard rails will not exceed 16-feet-seven-inches (16’ 7”).
A new attached deck is proposed at the rear (east) of the primary residence. The deck will be
constructed of wood plank decking and wood guardrails. The deck will be installed on piers and open
below. The deck will not exceed a total height of 16-feet-11-inches (16’ 11”), including guardrails. The
rear deck will be setback the required five-foot (5’) side setback and 10-foot (10’) rear setback.
The Project proposes overall landscaping, including ground cover of frog fruit and creeping thyme,
gray lavender lining the concrete paths and stairs, and red fescue and yew pine at the rear (east)
property line.
DISCUSSION
Staff believes that the findings for all three of the necessary entitlements can be met for this project.
Below please find the analysis which includes discussion of the relevant General Plan and municipal
code sections and provides an analysis of each of these points. Greater detail is also provided in
Attachments B. General Plan Consistency Table and C. Zoning Ordinance Consistency Table as well as
in the draft Resolution.
General Plan 2040
The project is in accordance with General Plan 2040 as it will provide reasonable access and usable
outdoor space for an existing residential property within a Low Density Residential designation (Policies
LU-1.8: Density of Residential Development; Policy LU-2.1: Land Use Map and Categories) and in the
Gerstle Park neighborhood (Policy CDP-2.3; Policy CDP-4.4). If the proposed Exception is granted, the
project design will result in minimal grading of the existing hillside and preservation of the existing slope
(Policy CDP-1.3: Hillside Protection). The design of the additions takes into consideration the existing
configuration of the subject lot and surrounding lots, including the unusual configuration of the street as
well as surrounding building setbacks. Please see Attachment B, General Plan Consistency Table.
The project has been reviewed and approved by the Building Division and Department of Public Works
staff as part of the planning entitlement process. A standard condition of approval has been included to
mandate building permits to ensure that necessary regulations pertaining to structural requirements for
hillside construction are met. (Policy S-2.2: Minimize the Potential Effects of Landslides).
San Rafael Municipal Code
The continued use of the property as a single-family residence is permitted by-right in the R5 zoning
district pursuant to SRMC Section 14.04.020 (Attachment C, Zoning Ordinance Consistency Table). The
addition of a rear deck and accessory parking structure are supportive of the residential use, but the size
and location require relief from the development standards found in SRMC Sections 14.04.030 (R5
Residential Zoning District) and 14.12.030 (Hillside Development Overlay District) and from SRMC
5
Section 14.16.020 (Accessory structures) resulting in the need for the requested entitlements described
above. Staff believes that the findings can be made to support the project as discussed below.
Parking Deck Setback Reduction
Pursuant to SRMC Section 14.16.020(E)(1-2), an accessory structure over 120 square-feet in area
and no taller than eight (8) feet tall requires a minimum setback of three feet from the interior side
and rear property lines and may not encroach into the front setback as required by the base zoning
district. Properties such as this one, regulated by the hillside property development standards may
request a setback decrease by more than half with approval by the hearing body of an Environmental
and Design Review permit. However, this Project proposes to have a zero setback from the interior
side (north) and front (west) property lines, and so a Variance is required.
The reduction is being requested to provide access for parking from the right-of-way on Miraflores
Avenue. The parking deck would be sited perpendicular to the road and would cantilever over the
immediately adjacent slope of the property. The subject property currently does not have any
designated parking spaces that are otherwise required on residential properties and hillside
properties. The proposed parking deck (detached accessory structure) will provide two off-street
parking spaces.
Natural State Reduction
The cumulation of the existing residence and proposed new structures and access improvements at the
site will result in only 51% of the property area preserved in its natural state, opposed to the 83.38%
required by SRMC Section 14.12.030(C). The property is significantly sloped and does not currently
include any graded portions suitable for outdoor use. The construction of two new elevated decks avoids
additional grading to create useable outdoor space and designated off-street parking at the property.
Gross Building Square Footage
The cumulation of the existing residence and the proposed new structures will exceed the permitted
gross building square-footage as required by SRMC Section 14.12.030(D) by approximately 15 feet.
Ridgeline Development
The Project proposes new construction on the existing developed property within 100 vertical feet of a
significant ridgeline. There is no place on the property where development would avoid this boundary,
however the placement of the two new structures will not further block the view of the ridgeline.
Design Review Criteria
The Project is consistent with the design review criteria provided in SRMC Section 14.25.050 as the
materials, colors, and overall design are in concert with the existing property features and surrounding
neighborhood.

SRMC Section 14.12.030 # Required Proposed
A. Building Stepback
1. On any downhill slope a twenty-foot (20′)
height limit measured from existing grade
shall be observed. This height limit shall be
construed to mean that wall planes shall be
broken into single wall heights of no more
than twenty feet (20′) beyond which a
stepback of at least five feet (5′) is required,
unless otherwise determined through the
environmental and design review permit
process. Regardless, the maximum overall
building height shall not exceed the height
allowed by the zoning district.
20 ft maximum N/A
B. Setbacks
Structures may encroach into a required yard
or setback for a distance of not more than
one-half (½) of the required yard or setback,
subject to approval by the hearing body of an
environmental and design review permit, if
that the decrease minimizes the impact of
hillside development and grading. If such a
reduction is granted, a compensating
increase in setback is required in the
opposing setback, i.e., a five-foot reduction in
a front yard setback would increase the rear
yard setback by five feet (5').

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, based on the staff report, written
comments and testimony received at the Public Hearing, the Planning Commission
makes the following findings relating to the Environmental and Design Review (ED24-
001) and Exception (EX24-003):
CEQA FINDING
(PLAN24-042)
Upon review of the application, the Project has been determined to be exempt from the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to pursuant to
Section 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines (New Construction or Conversion of Small

VARIANCE FINDINGS
(VAR 25-001)
A. That because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including
size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of
the requirements of this title deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by
other property in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification;
- 2 -
The Project site has a significant slope starting immediately at the front property
line and extending to the rear. The only existing graded portions of the lot are
limited to the existing primary residence and the access immediately adjacent to
Miraflores Avenue, allowing for no off-street parking areas. The existing residence
is sited towards Miraflores Avenue, which serves and the point of the access to the
right-of-way for the Project site. The strict application of the requirements would
preclude the installation of the proposed parking deck at the front and side property
lines that allow for two designated parking spaces immediately accessible from the
road, a use which other properties in the vicinity and in the same zoning
classification currently enjoy.
B. That the variance will not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent
with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zoning district
in which such property is situated;
The significant slope and limited grading at the site is a unique condition limited to
properties sited between two separate roads. The construction of a parking deck
as proposed in the Project will not grant special privileges, rather will allow this
property to enjoy off-street parking enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning
district.
C. That granting the variance does not authorize a use or activity which is not
otherwise expressly authorized by the zoning regulations for the zoning
district in which the subject property is located;
Accessory structures are permitted on residential properties per San Rafael
Municipal Code (SRMC) Section 14.04.020.
D. That granting the application will not be detrimental or injurious to property
or improvements in the vicinity of the development site, or to the public
health, safety or general welfare.
The Project has been reviewed by the Building Division and the Fire Department
and the location and orientation of the parking has been reviewed for safe access
by the Department of Public Works, and as conditioned it will not be a detriment or
injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity of the development site or the
public health, safety or welfare.
ENVIRONMENTAL AND DESIGN REVIEW FINDINGS
(ED24-015)
A. The project design is in accord with the general plan, the objectives of the
zoning ordinance and the purposes of this chapter:
- 3 -
The Project design is in accord with the general plan, the objectives of the zoning
ordinance and the purposes of San Rafael Municipal Code (SRMC), as the project
is in accord with the Low Density Residential designation in General Plan 2040
and the policies to support residential building in hillside areas (Policy LU-1.8:
Density of Residential Development; Policy CDP-1.3: Hillside Protection; and
Policy C-1.10: Hillside Preservation); the Project is located in the R5 Zoning District
where single-family homes are permitted by right; and the project is being reviewed
in accord with the findings required for an environmental and design review (SRMC
Section 14.25.090) and an exception from the hillside development standards
(SRMC Section 14.12.040).
B. The project design is consistent with all applicable site, architecture and
landscaping design criteria and guidelines for the district in which the site
is located:
The Project conforms with the property development standards for the R5 zoning
district (SRMC Section 14.04.030) and meets the findings required for exceptions
to the development standards for which the proposed design does not meet for the
Hillside Development Overlay District (SRMC Section 14.12.020). The Project is
consistent with the design review criteria provided in SRMC Section 14.25.050 as
the materials, colors, and overall design are in concert with the existing property
features and surrounding neighborhood.
C. The project design minimizes adverse environmental impacts:
The proposed structures for the Project will be installed on piers and will not require
additional grading into the hillside.
D. The project design will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or
welfare, nor materially injurious to properties or improvements in the
vicinity:
The Project has been reviewed by the Building Division and the Fire Department
and the location and orientation of the parking has been reviewed for safe access
by the Department of Public Works, and as conditioned it will not be a detriment or
injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity of the development site or the
public health, safety or welfare.
EXCEPTION (HILLSIDE) FINDINGS
(EX24-003)
A. The project design alternative meets the stated objectives of the hillside
design guidelines to preserve the inherent characteristics of hillside sites,
- 4 -
display sensitivity to the natural hillside setting and compatibility with
nearby hillside neighborhood s, and maintain a strong relationship to the
natural setting:
The Project, including the installation of the proposed new structures on piers will
not result in any additional grading and as such will preserve the natural
characteristics of the hillside. The orientation of the parking deck to the front
property line will additionally avoid construction over sloped portions of the
property. The Project will not exceed the maximum height and stepback limitations
for hillside properties.
B. Alternative design solutions which minimize grading, retain more of the
project site in its natural state, minimize visual impacts, protect significant
trees, or protect natural resources result in a demonstrably superior project
with greater sensitivity to the natural setti ng and compatibility with and
sensitivity to nearby structures.
The Project, including the installation of the proposed new structures on piers will
not result in any additional grading and as such will preserve the natural
characteristics of the hillside. Siting the parking deck immediately at the front
property line will not result any obstruction of any views from Miraflores Avenue.
The siting of the attached deck to the rear of the residence will not further obstruct
any view from the right-of-way on Miramar Avenue beyond what is already
obstructed by the existing residence.

muffler, etc.) and shall require that reasonable measures be implemented
to correct the problem. A telephone number for the Project Liaison shall be
posted at the construction site.
f. Erect temporary noise barriers to limit construction noise to no more than
90 dBA max at residences. Temporary noise barriers shall be constructed
with solid materials (e.g., wood) with a density of at least 1.5 pounds per
square foot with no gaps from the ground to the top of the barrier at a
minimum height of 12 feet along the southern and eastern project
boundaries. If a sound blanket is used, barriers shall be constructed with
solid material with a density of at least one pound per square foot with no
gaps from the ground to the top of the barrier and be lined on the
construction side with acoustical blanket, curtain or equivalent absorptive
material rated sound transmission class (STC) 32 or higher.
18. Construction Vibration (Ongoing throughout demolition, grading, and/or
construction). During construction, the project shall:

construction). Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15064.5(f), “provisions for
historical or unique archaeological resources accidentally discovered during
construction” shall be implemented. Further, compliance with the City’s
Archeological Resources Protection Ordinance and Resolution No. 10988, which
implements the Ordinance, requires the following:
- 10 -
a. In the event that any archaeological resources are inadvertently discovered
during ground disturbing activities (“find”), all work within 50 feet of the
resources shall be halted. The Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria
(FIGR) shall be immediately notified and a a qualified archaeologist retained
at Developer’s sole cost and expense to consult with the City, FIGR, and
the Developer and any other applicable regulatory agencies to employ best
practices for assessing the significance of the find, developing and
implementing a mitigation plan if avoidance is not feasible. Evidence of
prehistoric or historic-era subsurface archaeological features or deposits
may include ceramic shards, trash scatters, and lithic scatters). All
significant, non-Tribal cultural materials recovered shall be subject to
scientific analysis, professional museum curation, and/or a report prepared
by the qualified professional according to current professional standards.
b. In considering any suggested measure proposed by the qualified
professional, the project applicant shall determine whether avoidance is
necessary or feasible in light of factors such as the uniqueness of the find,
project design, costs, and other considerations.
c. If avoidance is unnecessary or infeasible, other appropriate measures (e.g.,
data recovery) shall be instituted. Work may proceed on other parts of the
project site while mitigation measures for cultural resources is carried out.
d. If significant materials are recovered, the qualified professional shall
prepare a report on the findings for submittal to the Northwest Information
Center.
22. Human Remains (Ongoing throughout demolition, grading, and/or construction).
In the event of the accidental discovery or recognition of any human remains, the
following steps should be taken: (1) There shall be no further excavation or
disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie
adjacent human remains until:
a. The Marin County Coroner must be contacted to determine that no
investigation of the cause of death is required, and
b. If the coroner determines the remains to be Native American:
i. The coroner shall contact the Native American Heritage Commission
within 24 hours.
ii. The Native American Heritage Commission shall identify the person
or persons it believes to be the most likely descended from the
deceased Native American.
iii. The most likely descendent may make recommendations to the
landowner or the person responsible for the excavation work, for
means of treating or disposing of, with appropriate dignity, the human
remains and any associated grave goods as provided in Public
Resources Code Section 5097.98. Where the following conditions
- 11 -
occur, the landowner or his authorized representative shall rebury
the Native American human remains and associated grave goods
with appropriate dignity on the property in a location not subject to
further subsurface disturbance:
1. The Native American Heritage Commission is unable
to identify a most likely descendent or the most likely
descendent failed to make a recommendation within 24
hours after being notified by the commission.
2. The descendant identified fails to make a
recommendation; or
3. The landowner or his authorized representative rejects
the recommendation of the descendant, and the
mediation by the Native American Heritage
Commission fails to provide measures acceptable to
the landowner.
23. Paleontological Resources (Ongoing throughout demolition, grading, and/or
construction). In the event of an unanticipated discovery of a paleontological
resource during construction, excavations within 50 feet of the find shall be
temporarily halted or diverted until the discovery is examined by a qualified
paleontologist (per Society of Vertebrate Paleontology standards [SVP
1995,1996]). The qualified paleontologist shall document the discovery as needed,
evaluate the potential resource, and assess the significance of the find. The
paleontologist shall notify the appropriate agencies to determine procedures that
would be followed before construction is allowed to resume at the location of the
find. If the City determines that avoidance is not feasible, the paleontologist shall
prepare an excavation plan for mitigating the effect of the project on the qualities
that make the resource important, and such plan shall be implemented. The plan
shall be submitted to the City for review and approval.
24. Halt Work/Unanticipated Discovery of Tribal Cultural Resources (Ongoing
throughout demolition, grading, and/or construction). In the event that cultural
resources of Native American origin are identified during construction, all work
within 50 feet of the discovery shall be redirected. The project applicant and project
construction contractor shall notify the Director of Community and Economic
Development Department within 24 hours. The City will again contact any tribes
who have requested consultation under AB 52, as well as contact a qualified
archaeologist, to evaluate the resources and situation and provide
recommendations. If it is determined that the resource is a tribal cultural resource
and thus significant under CEQA, a mitigation plan shall be prepared and
implemented in accordance with State guidelines and in consultation with Native
American groups. If the resource cannot be avoided, additional measures to avoid
or reduce impacts to the resource and to address tribal concerns may be required.
- 12 -
25. Construction Management Plan. The applicant shall submit a Construction
Management Plan (CMP) for review and approval by the Director of Community
and Economic Development Department and Director of Public Works prior to
issuance of building or grading permit. The construction management plan shall

ANALYSIS OF PROJECT CONSISTENCY WITH SAN RAFAEL GENERAL PLAN 2040
1
LAND USE ELEMENT
Policy LU-1.8: Density of Residential Development. Use the
density ranges in the Land Use Element to determine the number
of housing units allowed on properties within the Planning Area.
Consistent
The project is limited to one new primary dwelling unit on the
property.
Policy LU-2-1: Land Use Map and Categories. Use the General
Plan Map as the framework for future land use decisions. The Map
displays the distribution of different land use categories in the San
Rafael Planning Area. Each category is associated with a particular
set of uses and densities/ intensity standards. All proposed projects
must meet these standards, as well as other applicable standards
established by the City’s zoning regulations. Some uses in each
category are “conditional,” meaning they are allowed only in limited
areas or may be subject to specific conditions
Consistent
Single-family residential is a permitted use in the Low Density
Residential designation.
Policy LU-3.2: New Development in Residential
Neighborhoods
Preserve, enhance, and maintain the residential character of
neighborhoods to keep them safe, desirable places to live. New
development, redevelopment of existing buildings, and land use
changes within and adjacent to residential areas should:
• Enhance neighborhood image and design quality
• Incorporate sensitive transitions in height and setbacks from
adjacent properties
• Preserve historic, unique, and architecturally significant
structures
• Respect and enhance natural features and terrain
• Reduce exposure to hazards, including limited emergency
vehicle access
Consistent
The Project design does not exceed the existing height of the
primary residence and steps in height down the existing slope of
the property. The two main structures proposed will be installed on
piers and landscaping will be installed across the property to
protect and enhance the natural hillside.

• Include amenities such as sidewalks, pathways, trees, and
other landscape improvements
• Maintain or enhance infrastructure service levels
• Meet expected parking demand
• Minimize reduction of views, privacy, and solar access for
neighboring properties
While these principles are fundamental, they do not preclude
neighborhood change. Neighborhoods are dynamic places, and
should adapt to changing tastes, styles, technology, and needs as
they evolve.
COMMUNITY DESIGN AND PRESERVATION ELEMENT
Policy NH-2.23: Gerstle Park
Preserve and enhance the residential and historic character of the
Gerstle Park neighborhood by:
a) Protecting the mixed-density residential area, strictly limiting
rezoning to higher densities.
b) Prohibiting additional non-residential development in Gerstle
Park except as already allowed in zoning regulations.
c)Protecting hillside ridges and the visual backdrop of the ridges on
the edges of the neighborhood.
d) Preserving and enhancing the distinctive design character of the
neighborhood, including historic design features. New development
or significant remodels should enhance and respect the
architectural character of the neighborhood.
Consistent
The primary residence will remain and will not require any
rezoning. The proposed Project will not have an impact on the
adjacent ridgeline and will enhance the unique characteristics of
the surrounding neighborhood.

e) Requiring that adjacent Downtown land use designations and
developments are compatible with and do not negatively affect the
neighborhood, and that sensitive transitions occur where Downtown
development abuts neighborhood residences.
Policy NH-2.24: Natural Features
Protect and enhance important natural features in the Gerstle Park
area, including Mahon/San Rafael Creek, mature street trees, and
community open spaces, hillsides, and woodlands.
Consistent
The new structures proposed for the Project will be set above the
existing natural grade of the hillside. The proposed plantings will
predominately be low to the ground and will not result in the
destruction of any natural features.
COMMUNITY DESIGN AND PRESERVATION ELEMENT
Policy CDP-1.1: City Image
Reinforce San Rafael’s image by respecting the city’s natural
features, protecting its historic resources, and strengthening its
focal points, gateways, corridors, and neighborhoods.
Consistent
In addition to the respect of the property’s natural features as
described above, the project will not further obstruct any existing
views from the public right-of-ways.
Policy CDP-1.2: Natural Features
Recognize and protect the key natural features that shape San
Rafael’s identity, including the Bay, local hills and ridgelines, creeks
and wetlands, tree cover, and views of Mt. Tamalpais and other
natural landmarks. Height limits and other building standards should
respect San Rafael’s natural topography and reinforce its sense of
place, including the character and boundaries of individual
neighborhoods.
Consistent
The Project will be in addition to the existing development within
100 vertical feet of an identified ridgeline. The proposed
construction will not further obstruct the existing view to or from the
ridgeline.
ATTACHMENT B
ANALYSIS OF PROJECT CONSISTENCY WITH SAN RAFAEL GENERAL PLAN 2040

Policy CDP-1.3: Hillside Protection.
Protect the visual integrity and character of San Rafael’s hillsides
and ridgelines. Where hillside construction is permitted, structures
should be designed to provide slope and foundation stability,
erosion control, and adequate emergency access, drainage and
parking. Hillside buildings should be sited to protect the natural
landscape, avoid excessive tree loss, and preserve scenic vistas
from public vantage points.
Consistent
The Project is designed so as not to disrupt the hillside more than
necessary or further obstruct any existing views.
Policy CDP-2.3: Neighborhood Identity and Character.
Recognize, preserve, and enhance the positive qualities that
shape neighborhood identity. Development standards should
respect neighborhood context and scale and preserve design
elements that contribute to neighborhood livability. Standards
should also provide the flexibility for innovative design and new
types of construction. Code enforcement and City programs
should maintain community standards and the integrity of buildings
and landscapes.
Consistent
The Project will respect the neighborhood context by preserving
and enhancing the hillside. The addition of designated parking
spaces will encourage off-street parking so as not to disrupt the
roadway.
SAFETY AND RESILIENCE ELEMENT
Policy S-2.2: Minimize the Potential Effects of Landslides.
Development proposed in areas with existing or potential
landslides (as identified by a Certified Engineering Geologist,
Registered Geotechnical Engineer, or the LHMP) shall not be
endangered by, or contribute to, hazardous conditions on the site
or adjoining properties. Landslide mitigation should consider
multiple options in order to reduce potential secondary impacts
(loss of vegetation, site grading, traffic, visual). The City will only
approve new development in areas of identified landslide hazard if
Consistent
The Project will be required to meet all regulations and conditions
imposed by the Building Division and the Department of Public
Works prior to issuance of a building permit.
ATTACHMENT B
ANALYSIS OF PROJECT CONSISTENCY WITH SAN RAFAEL GENERAL PLAN 2040

the hazard can be appropriately mitigated, including erosion
control and replacement of vegetation.
Policy CDP-4.3: Creative Architecture and Design
Encourage creative architecture while respecting the context of
each site.
Consistent
The Project is consistent with the design review criteria provided
in SRMC Section 14.25.050. See Attachment C for further detail
Policy CDP-4.4: Single Family Home Design
Encourage the design of new homes, additions, and alterations
that integrate well with their surroundings and support the livability
of neighborhoods. Residential additions and alterations should
respect the proportions, styles, and materials of the house and
adjacent properties.
Consistent
The Project will support the livability of the property and the
neighborhood by providing off-street parking spaces and usable
outdoor space,
Policy CDP-4.10: Landscape Design
Encourage—and where appropriate require—privately owned and
maintained landscaping that conserves water, contributes to
neighborhood quality, complements building forms and materials,
improves stormwater management and drainage, and enhances
the streetscape. Natural elements such as plants should be an
integral part of site development and should enhance the built
environment while supporting water conservation goals.
Consistent
As conditioned, the property owner will be required to install and
maintain the landscaping to the satisfaction of the Marin Municipal
Water District (MMWD).
ATTACHMENT C
ANALYSIS OF PROJECT CONSISTENCY WITH TITLE 14 – ZONING
1
CHAPTER 14.04 – RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS
14.04.020 - Land use regulations (R, DR,
MR, HR, PD).
Consistent
Single-family residences are permitted by right in the R5 zoning district.
14.04.030 – Property Development Standards
(R)
Partially Consistent
The project is consistent with the majority of the required property development standards, but
is requesting exceptions to the required front setback and garage setback.
CHAPTER 14.12 – HILLSIDE DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY DISTRICT
14.12.030 - Property development standards
(-H)
Not Consistent
The Project is not consistent with the property development standards for hillside properties
as the natural state and gross building square-footage requirements will be exceeded.
14.12.040 – Exceptions to property
development standards.
Consistent
The project is found to be consistent with the findings required for an exception to the
Hillside property development standards as locating the new residence on the existing
graded portion of the site will avoid excessive grading and preserve the remaining natural
hillside.
CHAPTER 14.23 – VARIANCES
14.23.070 - Findings
A. That because of special circumstances
applicable to the property, including size,
shape, topography, location or
surroundings, the strict application of the
requirements of this title deprives such
property of privileges enjoyed by other
property in the vicinity and under identical
zoning classification;
Consistent
The subject property has a significant slope starting immediately at the front property line
and extending to the rear. As such, existing graded portions of the lot are limited to the
existing primary residence and the access immediately adjacent to Miraflores Avenue. The
existing residence is sited towards Miraflores Avenue, which serves and the point of the
access to the right-of-way for the property. The installation of the proposed parking deck at
the front and side property lines will allow for two designated parking spaces immediately
accessible from the road.
ATTACHMENT C
ANALYSIS OF PROJECT CONSISTENCY WITH TITLE 14 – ZONING
2
B. That the variance will not constitute a grant
of special privileges inconsistent with the
limitations upon other properties in the
vicinity and zoning district in which such
property is situated;
Consistent
The significant slope and limited grading at the site is a unique condition limited to properties
sited between two separate roads.
C. That granting the variance does not
authorize a use or activity which is not
otherwise expressly authorized by the
zoning regulations for the zoning district in
which the subject property is located;
Consistent
Accessory structures are permitted on residential properties per SRMC Section 14.04.020.
D. That granting the application will not be
detrimental or injurious to property or
improvements in the vicinity of the
development site, or to the public health,
safety or general welfare.
Consistent
The project has been initially reviewed by the Building Division and the Fire Department and
the location and orientation of the parking has been reviewed for safe access by the
Department of Public Works.
CHAPTER 14.25 – ENVIRONMENTAL AND DESIGN REVIEW PERMITS
14.25.090 - Findings
A. The project design is in accord with the
general plan, the objectives of the zoning
ordinance and the purposes of this
chapter;
Consistent
The project design is in accord with the general plan, the objectives of the zoning ordinance
and the purposes of San Rafael Municipal Code (SRMC), as the project is in accord with the
Low Density Residential designation in General Plan 2040 and the policies to support
residential building in hillside areas (Policy LU-1.8: Density of Residential Development; Policy
CDP-1.3: Hillside Protection; and Policy C-1.10: Hillside Preservation); the project is located
in the R5 Zoning District where single-family homes are permitted by right; and the project is
being reviewed in accord with the findings required for an environmental and design review
(SRMC Section 14.25.090) and an exception from the hillside development standards (SRMC
Section 14.12.040).
B. The project design is consistent with all
applicable site, architecture and
landscaping design criteria and guidelines
for the district in which the site is located;
Consistent
The project conforms with the majority property development standards for the R5 zoning
district (SRMC Section 14.04.030) and meets the findings required for exceptions to the
development standards for which the proposed design does not meet for the Hillside
Development Overlay District (SRMC Section 14.12.020). The Project is consistent with the
ATTACHMENT C
ANALYSIS OF PROJECT CONSISTENCY WITH TITLE 14 – ZONING
3
design review criteria provided in SRMC Section 14.25.050 as the materials, colors, and
overall design are in concert with the existing property features and surrounding
neighborhood.
C. The project design minimizes adverse
environmental impacts; and
Consistent
The proposed structures will be installed on piers and will not require additional grading into
the hillside.
D. The project design will not be detrimental
to the public health, safety or welfare, nor
materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
Consistent
The project has been initially reviewed by the Building Division and the Fire Department and
the location and orientation of the driveway has been reviewed for safe access by the
Department of Public Works.
CHAPTER 14.12 – HILLSIDE DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY DISTRICT (-H)
14.12.040 - Findings
A. The project design alternative meets the
stated objectives of the hillside design
guidelines to preserve the inherent
characteristics of hillside sites, display
sensitivity to the natural hillside setting
and compatibility with nearby hillside
neighborhoods, and maintain a strong
relationship to the natural setting:
Consistent
The installation of the proposed new structures on piers will not result in any additional grading
and as such will preserve the natural characteristics of the hillside. The orientation of the
parking deck to the front property line will additionally avoid construction over sloped portions
of the property. The project will not exceed the maximum height and stepback limitations for
hillside properties.
B. Alternative design solutions which
minimize grading, retain more of the
project site in its natural state, minimize
visual impacts, protect significant trees, or
protect natural resources result in a
demonstrably superior project with
greater sensitivity to the natural setting
and compatibility with and sensitivity to
nearby structures.
Consistent
The installation of the proposed new structures on piers will not result in any additional grading
and as such will preserve the natural characteristics of the hillside. Siting the parking deck
immediately at the front property line will not result any obstruction of any views from Miraflores
Avenue. The siting of the attached deck to the rear of the residence will not further obstruct
any view from the right-of-way on Miramar Avenue beyond what is already obstructed by the
existing residence.
