SUMMARY
The project proposes to expand both the kitchen and dining room areas over an attached understory
garage which currently encroaches approximately 4’ into the 12.5’ interior required side yard setback.
The project proposes to extend into the interior required side yard setback no further than the exterior
walls of the existing attached garage or 3’ into the interior required side yard setback.
As the project site is located in the Hillside Development Overlay (-H) District, pursuant to Section
14.12.030(B) of the San Rafael Municipal Code (SRMC), a structure 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
recommendation of the Design Review Board (Board) that the decreased setback minimizes the impact
of hillside development and grading.
Staff is seeking recommendation only on the proposed setback reduction for the kitchen and dining
room addition. The remaining project features comply with the applicable zoning regulations and are
2
not subject to discretionary Design Review Board review. Specifically, staff asks the Board to consider
the following:
• Whether decreasing the required interior side yard setback from 12.5’ to 9.5’ minimizes the impact
to hillside development and grading.
BACKGROUND
Site Description & Setting:
The subject site is located at the southeast corner of Fairhills Drive and Rustic Way. It is upsloping from
both street front, trending southwest to northeast, with an approximately 27.25% average cross-slope. It
is a wide and narrow parcel 10,598 sq. ft. in size where a minimum of 20,000 sq. ft. is required in the
R20-H District. The existing attached garage is located approximately 4’ into the required 12.5’ interior
side yard setback.
The site is surrounded by larger (20,000+ sq. ft.) single-family hillside residences.
Figure 1: Vicinity Map
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project proposes to remove an existing covered side yard porch and built-in planter and extend the
existing kitchen and dining room area. Twenty-three square feet (23 sq. ft.) of the proposed new 190
sq. ft. kitchen and dining room addition would encroach 3’ into the required 12.5’ interior side yard
setback, The project also proposes a 30 sq. ft. foyer addition and 525 sq. ft. of new uncovered decking
along the front and street side elevations which comply with the R20-H District setback requirements
though still require an administrative-/staff-level Environmental and Design Review Permit for
uncovered decking greater than 100 sq. ft. on hillsides.
ANALYSIS
Grading
There are no grading impacts for the proposed project encroachment in that the kitchen and dining area
addition would be constructed directly above, or on top of, the existing attached garage, which is
already encroaching approximately 4’ into the required interior side yard setback. The proposed
addition would not encroach beyond the existing exterior walls of the attached garage.

Hillside Design Guidelines
The Hillside Design Guidelines provide no additional direction on setback reductions beyond the
standard prescribed in SRMC Section 14.12.030(B).
PLAN CONSISTENCY
General Plan 2040 Consistency:
The project is consistent with the General Plan 2040 policies, in that; a) the project is being reviewed
appropriately through design review and review of the Hillside Residential Design Guidelines
(Community Design and Preservation Element Policy CDP-1.3A; Hillside Residential Design
Guidelines); and b) the project will provide for effective public involvement in the review of the project
through the noticing of all meetings and hearings (CDP-4.2; Public Involvement in Design Review).
Zoning Ordinance Consistency:
Chapter 4 – Residential Districts
The project is consistent with the property development standards for the R20 District, including
maximum lot coverage. The site is allowed a maximum 3,179 sq. ft. of lot coverage, based on 10,598
sq. ft. of lot area, and the project proposes to increase lot coverage from 2,256 sq. ft. to 2,647 sq. ft.
Chapter 12 – Hillside Development Overlay (-H) District
SRMC Section 14.12.030(B) – Setbacks
The site is located within the Hillside Development Overlay (-H) District, which allows structures to
encroach into the required yard or setback for a distance not more than one-half (1/2) with
recommendation from the Design Review Board that the decrease minimizes the impact of hillside
development and grading. The project minimizes impacts on hillside development, in that; it will not
encroach any further into the required side yard setback beyond the existing attached garage. The
existing garage encroaches 4’ into the 12.5’ side yard setback while the project proposes to locate the
proposed kitchen and dining room addition above the garage while encroaching 3’ into the same side
yard setback. Since the project proposes to locate the kitchen and dining room addition above the
existing garage, it will result in no grading impacts to the site. Additionally, if the setback reduction is
recommended for approval, an equal or compensating increase is required in the opposing setback.
The underlying R20 District requires a 12.5’ side/street side yard setback. The project proposes to
decease the interior side yard setback 3’, from 12.5’ to 9.5’, while correspondingly increasing the street
side yard setback 3’, from 12.5’ to 15.5’. This reduction is allowed with a recommendation of the Board.
SRMC Section 14.12.030(C) – Natural State
Parcels located within the Hillside Development Overlay (-H) District are required to maintain a
minimum percentage of the lot in its natural state area, undeveloped and undisturbed. The required
natural state is calculated as 25% of the lot area plus the average cross-slope, which is not to exceed
85%. The subject site is required to maintain a minimum 52.25% of the lot, or 5,532 sq. ft., in its
natural state (25% + 27.25% average slope). The project proposes no change in the existing natural
state; the project proposes to maintain 55.25% of the lot, or 5,533 sq. ft., in a natural state, which
complies with the hillside development standards.
NEIGHBORHOOD CORRESPONDENCE
Notice of hearing for the project has been conducted in accordance with noticing requirements contained
in Chapter 29 of the Zoning Ordinance. A Notice of Public Hearing was mailed to all property owners and
occupants within a 300-foot radius of the project site, the Fairhills Property Owners Association, and all
other interested parties a minimum of 15 calendar days prior to the date of this hearing. Additionally,
4
notice was posted on the project site, at the southeast corner of the Fairhills Dr. and Rustic Way
intersection, a minimum of 15 calendar days prior to the date of the Board meeting.
As of the writing of this staff report, staff has received no public comments.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Board recommend approval for this project based on the items discussed above.
The proposed addition to the single-family residence, which encroaches 3’ into the required 12.5’
interior side yard setback, would create no grading impacts and, therefore, minimizes hillside
development impacts.

SUMMARY
The project is being referred to the Design Review Board (Board) for conceptual design review of a
submittal proposing to construct a new, three-story, approx. 15,000 sq. ft. Operations Control Center
(OCC) for Las Gallinas Valley Sanitation District (LGVSD) which includes an operations control area for
the treatment plant, a laboratory area, administrative offices, conference rooms, and multi-function
classrooms for public use. The new OCC would replace an existing 3,600 sq. ft. two-story
Administration Building. Landscape improvements are proposed between the surface parking area and
Smith Ranch Rd. and around the new OCC. The proposal also includes the creation of a new
Corporation Yard with the removal of an existing 2,160 sq. ft. Laboratory Building and the construction
of a new one-story, 3,000 sq. ft., Carport/Maintenance Building; however, the conceptual review
2
provides no specific details on this portion of the project and the Board’s review is limited to the
proposed new OCC Building.
When the project is submitted as a formal application, it will require the following approvals by the
Planning Commission, with the recommendation(s) of the Design Review Board (Board):
• An Environmental and Design Review Permit, for the new OCC Building
Staff is seeking the Board’s input on the proposed OCC Building and associated landscape
improvements only. While the conceptual project also proposes to replace an existing 2,160 sq. ft.,
single-story Laboratory Building with a new 3,000 sq. ft. Carport/Maintenance Building, the submittal
provides no specific details other than the location (see Sh. A0.0 Site Plan and Sh. L1.0 Planting Plan).
Staff requests that the Board provide recommendation(s) on the following specific concerns:
Architecture
• Whether the proposed contemporary architecture, with its predominant design features of
primarily glass exteriors, is appropriate given its potential reflective properties.
• Whether the proposed four-story scale of the project appropriately relates to the current one-and
two-story scale of existing development on the project site.
• Whether the proposed contemporary architecture, characterized by glass exterior elevations
and butterfly roof forms, adequately relates to the more utility design of the existing corrugated
metal and stucco plaster structures and buildings on the project site.
BACKGROUND
Site Description & Setting:
The LGVSD facility is comprised of seven (7) separate parcels, most (five parcels) of which are located
within unincorporated County of Marin. The project site is proposed on both parcels located within the
City of San Rafael. These two parcels are approximately 386,084 sq. ft. in combined area and are
located at the end of Smith Ranch Road. The project site has a slight grade change (3-5% average
cross-slope; northwest-to-southeast trending) and is currently developed with a few relatively small (up
to 3,600 sq. ft.) single-story facilities buildings scattered among the wastewater treatment plant.
Silveira Ranch is located immediately north of the project site, while Marin County open space is
located immediately east, west and south of the project site.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Use:
The project proposes to replace an existing, two-story 3,600 sq. ft., single-story Administration Building
with a new 15,000 sq. ft., four-story OCC Building. The project also proposes to replace an existing
2,160 sq. ft., single-story Laboratory Building with a new 3,000 sq. ft. Carport/Maintenance Building.
The project further proposes to remove an existing 3,000 sq. ft. carport structure over the existing
surface parking lot.
Site Plan:
Proposed changes to the existing site plan for the LGVSD facility are currently limited to providing a
new fire access gate and ‘hammerhead’ turnaround.
Architecture:
The project proposes a new four-story OCC Building of contemporary architecture with predominant
design features including a glass exterior elevations and butterfly roof forms.
Floor Plans:
The project floor plans propose operations control, laboratory, conference room, individual offices,
restrooms and lockers, board room, education center and classroom areas.
Parking:
The project proposes to convert a portion of covered parking to uncovered parking in the surface
parking lot by removing an existing 3,000 sq. ft. carport structure. The number of parking spaces (29)
would remain unchanged.
Landscaping:
The project generally proposes landscape improvements between the surface parking area and Smith
Ranch Road, and around the new OCC Building. The conceptual project submittal provides few specific
4
details other than “landscape planting, inspired by local native landscape of oak trees, grasses and
native low-maintenance plantings; display for recycled water and drought-resistant plantings”.
Grading:
The conceptual submittal does not provide preliminary grading calculations or civil drawings.
ANALYSIS
Conceptual project review focuses on conceptual design approach and gives the Board and the
applicant an opportunity to work collectively to achieve a quality design. Staff requests the Board
provide broad comments on the general design approach presented for the new OCC Building and
associated planting improvements, and the specific concerns listed below.
General Plan 2040 Consistency:
The General Plan land use designation for the project site is Public/Quasi Public (P/QP). The P/QP
land use designation applies to public schools, libraries, post offices, churches, public hospitals, and
institutional facilities such as Dominican University and Marin Academy. It also is applied to major utility
properties and public facilities.
The project would be consistent with the following more general design-related General Plan Policies:
• Land Use Element Policy LU-1.10 (Intensity of Non-Residential Development). The maximum
allowable FAR on the project site is 1.0 FAR or approx. 386,083.6 sq. ft. Both the existing FAR
on the site and the proposed project would comply with the FAR limits.
• Community Design and Preservation Element Policy CDP-1.2 (Natural Features). The new
OCC Building is proposed to be built into the existing hillside topography, preserving more of the
natural features on the project site.
• CDP-1.5 (Views). Similar to CDP-1.2, the proposed location of the new OCC Building would
preserve existing public views, since it would be built into the existing hillside topography and
the proposed height of the OCC Building would not exceed that of the background hillside.
• CDP-4.2 (Public Involvement in Design Review). Public involvement in the design review
process includes this conceptual project review by the Board, which complies with all noticing
requirements of SRMC Chapter 29.
• CDP-4.3 (Creative Architecture and Design). The proposed design of the new OCC Building is
contemporary architecture with predominant design features that include glass exterior
elevations and butterfly roof forms.
The conceptual project submittal would not be consistent with the following General Plan Policies:
• LU-1.17 (Building Height). The proposed building height of the new OCC Building appears to be
39’ while the maximum allowable building height is 36’. Upon formal project submittal, the
project will be required to meet the maximum building height limits.
The conceptual project submittal does not provide adequate details to determine consistency with the
following General Plan Policies:
• CDP-4.10 (Landscaping). While the conceptual project submittal proposes landscape
improvements between the surface parking area and Smith Ranch Rd., and around the new
OCC Building, detailed landscape plans will be required at formal project submittal.
5
• CDP-4.11 (Lighting). While exterior site and building lighting currently exists throughout the
project site, comprehensive lighting plans with photometric study will be required to demonstrate
compliance with the City’s adopted lighting levels for building entrances/exits, pathways, parking
areas and property lines.
Zoning Ordinance Consistency:
Chapter 9 – Public/Quasi-Public (P/QP) District
The project site is located within the Public/Quasi-Public (P/QP) District. The proposed project will
require consistency with the applicable property development standards for the P/QP District, including
maximum building height (36’) and minimum landscaping (10%).
As conceptually designed, the project would not be consistent with the maximum building height; it
appears the proposed building height is 39’ where a maximum of 36’ is allowed. No landscape details
are provided other than showing landscape improvements proposed between the surface parking area
and Smith Ranch Rd., and around the new OCC Building with a note that landscape plantings will be
“inspired by local native landscape of oak trees, grasses and native low-maintenance plantings; display
for recycled water and drought-resistant plantings”. The formal project application submittal will be
required to update the landscape plans to provide details on the total square footage of landscaping
required for the site, the total square footage of landscaping proposed and specific planting details (i.e.,
plant species, and number, container size and location of each new planting).
Chapter 16 – Site and Use Regulations
Light and Glare
Section 14.16.227 (Light and Glare) requires all building colors and materials and building and site
lighting to be designed to avoid creating undue off-site light and glare impacts. Glossy finishes and
reflective glass are discouraged; site and building lighting shall be shielded to conceal light sources
from view off-site and avoid spillover onto adjacent properties. Lighting levels, generally, should meet
the following minimum amount necessary to provide a sense of security:
• One (1) foot candle at ground level overlap should be provided in all exterior doorways and in all
vehicle parking areas;
• Minimum one-half (1/2) foot candle at ground level overlap should be provided along all outdoor
pedestrian walkways; and
• Less than one (1) foot candle at ground level overlap should be provided at all property lines.
The conceptual project proposes a new four-story OCC Building of contemporary architecture with
predominant design features of primarily glass exterior elevations and butterfly roof forms. No details
are provided in the conceptual submittal on the reflectivity of the proposed glass exterior.
Staff requests the Board’s comments on the following:
• Whether the proposed contemporary architecture, with its predominant design features of
primarily glass exteriors, is appropriate given its potential reflective properties.
As a condition of formal project approval, a photometric study shall be submitted for the project
indicating that the project will comply with the lighting levels prescribed by the Zoning Ordinance.
Water-Efficient Landscape
Section 14.16.370 (Water-Efficient Landscaping) requires all new landscape and irrigation
improvements to comply with Marin Municipal Water District’s (MMWD) most recent water-efficient
landscape requirements. As a condition of formal project approval, landscape, irrigation and grading
6
plans shall be submitted to MMWD for review and approval prior to Building Permit or Grading Permit
issuance.
Chapter 25 – Environmental and Design Review Permit
Pursuant to Section 14.25.040 (A) (1) (e) (Improvements Subject to Review) of the Zoning Ordinance,
the project will require Environmental and Design Review Permit approval by the Planning Commission
with the recommendation of the Board, in that; it proposes to construct a new public/quasi-public
structure. The pertinent review criteria for Environmental and Design Review Permits, pursuant to
Section 14.25.050 (Review Criteria; Environmental and Design Review Permits), are as follows:
• Site Design. Proposed structures and site development should relate to the existing development in
the vicinity. The development should have good vehicular and pedestrian circulation and access.
Safe and convenient parking areas should be designed to provide easy access to building
entrances. The traffic capacity of adjoining streets must be considered. Major views of the San
Pablo Bay, wetlands, bay frontage, the Canal, Mt. Tamalpais and the hills should be preserved and
enhanced from public streets and public vantage points. In addition, respect views of St. Raphael’s
Church up “A” Street.
• Architecture. The project architecture should be harmoniously integrated in relation to the
architecture in the vicinity in terms of colors and materials, scale and building design. The design
should be sensitive to and compatible with historic and architecturally significant buildings in the
vicinity. Design elements and approaches which are encouraged include: a) creation of interest in
the building elevation; b) pedestrian-oriented design in appropriate locations; c) energy-efficient
design; d) provision of a sense of entry; e) variation in building placement and height; and f) equal
attention to design given to all facades in sensitive location.
• Materials and colors. Exterior finishes should be consistent with the context of the surrounding area.
Color selection shall coordinate with the predominant colors and values of the surrounding
landscape and architecture. High-quality building materials are required. Natural materials and
colors in the earth tone and wood tone range are generally preferred. Concrete surfaces should be
colored, textured, sculptured, and/or patterned to serve design as well as a structural function.
• Walls, Fences and Screening. Walls, fences and screening shall be used to screen parking and
loading areas, refuse collection areas and mechanical equipment from view. Screening of
mechanical equipment shall be designed as an integrated architectural component of the building
and the landscape. Utility meters and transformers shall be incorporated into the overall project
design.
• Landscape Design. Landscaping shall be designed as an integral enhancement of the site and
existing tree shall be preserved as much as possible. Water-conserving landscape design shall be
required. A landscaped berm around the perimeter of parking areas is encouraged. Smaller scale,
seasonal color street trees should be proposed along pedestrian-oriented streets while high-
canopy, traffic-tolerant trees should be proposed for primary vehicular circulation streets.
The review criteria for Environmental and Design Review Permits require that the proposed site and
building design of all new development ‘relate’ to the predominant design or ‘character-defining’ design
elements existing in the vicinity of the project.
Site Design
The LGVSD facility is located at the end of Smith Ranch Rd. and is surrounded by unimproved
agricultural land (Silveira Ranch) to the north and west and primarily unimproved Marin County
parks/open space to the south and east. The existing site design is primarily the wastewater treatment
7
infrastructure: covered digester and uncovered clarifier tanks, piping and a small network of private
access roadways. The conceptual submittal proposes to construct the new OCC Building at the
entrance to the project site, into the existing hillside topography, preserving more of the site for
wastewater treatment infrastructure. No grading calculations are provided by the conceptual submittal
though the height of the new OCC Building would not exceed that of the hillside backdrop. Staff
supports the proposed site design of the project as it takes advantage of the natural features while
preserving them; the project tucks the new OCC Building into the hillside while preserving it.
Architecture
The predominant design of the existing few structures and buildings on the project site is corrugated
metal and stucco plaster with red tile roof trim. The project proposes a new four-story OCC Building of
contemporary architecture with predominant design features including a glass exterior elevations and
butterfly roof forms. The project proposes ‘standalone’ architecture intended to create a visual landmark
on the LGVSD site where existing development design focuses more on utility than aesthetics. Staff
finds the proposed architecture of the OCC Building meets all of the design elements and approaches
which are encouraged, including: a) Creating interest in the building elevation; b) Being pedestrian-
oriented design; c) Being an energy-efficient design; d) Providing a sense of entry; e) Providing
variation in building placement and height; and f) Providing equal attention to design from all facades.
Staff requests the Board’s comments on the following:
• Whether the proposed 4-story scale of the project is appropriate, given the current 1-and 2-story
scale of existing development on the project site.
• Whether the proposed contemporary architecture, characterized by glass exterior elevations
and butterfly roof forms, adequately relates to the more utility design of the existing corrugated
metal and stucco plaster structures and buildings on the project site.
Colors and Materials
The conceptual plans do not include a Colors and Materials sheet. As stated previously, staff finds the
proposed glass exterior elevations provided by the triangular-shaped, new OCC Building would not be
consistent with the context of the existing structures and buildings on the project site, which is
corrugated metal and stucco plaster with red tile roof trim. However, staff also finds the project
proposes ‘standalone’ architecture on the LGVSD site where existing development design focuses
more on utility than aesthetics.
Landscape Design
The project generally proposes landscape improvements between the surface parking area and Smith
Ranch Rd., and around the new OCC Building. The conceptual project submittal does not provide
specific details; however, the development standards for the site include a 10% landscape requirement
or 38,608.4 sq. ft. of landscaping, based on approx. 386,083.6 sq. ft. in combined area within the
project site.
NEIGHBORHOOD CORRESPONDENCE
Notice of hearing for the proposed project has been conducted in accordance with noticing
requirements contained in Chapter 29 of the Zoning Ordinance. A Notice of Public Hearing was mailed
to all property owners and occupants within a 300-foot radius of the project site and the project architect
a minimum of 15 calendar days prior to the date of this Board meeting. Additionally, notice was posted
on the project site, at the end of Smith Ranch Rd., a minimum of 15 calendar days prior to the date of
the Board meeting. No public comments have been received on the proposed project.

CONCLUSION
This review is for a conceptual project with much of the details not provided. At the time of formal
project submittal, staff will require the plans include the appropriate level of details to allow staff, the
Board and the Planning Commission to adequately review the proposed project. Staff requests the
Board provide direction on the proposed four-story scale of the OCC Building and the proposed
contemporary architecture, which is characterized by glass exterior elevations and butterfly roof forms.
Staff also requests the Board provide direction on additional plans, details and materials that the Board
would like to see when the proposed project returns for formal review.
