Greenspace Review SF Lot Area: 16,267 House Footprint: -2,794 Existing Rear Deck: -300 Exiting Driveway: -1,150 Proposed Driveway Addition: -1,410 Remaining Greenspace: 10,613 65.2% Design Guideline Review: Section 2.5 on pages 72 through 75 of the Design Guidelines provides specific recommendations for the Suburban character area. Subsection G suggests that driveways occupy as little of the Primary Landscape Area as possible. On lots wider than 140 feet the driveway should be located off the side property line a distance no less than 8% of the lot width. Circle driveways should have an interior green with a width no less than 80 feet wide, measured at the front property line, and depth of 40 feet measured from the curb. The proposed driveway has an interior green 60 feet wide and 57 feet deep. This recommendation has not been met. Section 2.7.2.B on page 102 recommends drives to be no more than 12 feet wide at the front property line. This recommendation has not been met for the existing driveway that is being replaced. Section 2.7.3.A on page 106 recommends that LS-1 and 2 properties have a greenspace no less than 60% of the lot area. This recommendation has been met. Please note, that the owner did not include any rear decks or patios in their greenspace study, these have been added by the city staff.
