RESOLUTION NO. 142
OF THE DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE OF THE CITY OF CUPERTINO APPROVING
A NEW 4,699 SQUARE FOOT, TWO-STORY RESIDENCE AND AN EXCEPTION FOR
A 41 % RATIO OF SECOND FLOOR TO FIRST FLOOR AREA.
SECTION II: PROTECT DESCRIPTION
Application No.: R-2004-02
Applicant! Owner: William Hurt
Location: 21740 Alcazar Avenue
SECTION II: FINDINGS
WHEREAS, the Design Review Committee of the City of Cupertino received an
application for a Fence Exception, as described in this Resolution; and
WHEREAS, the Design Review Committee finds that the changes are beneficial and
compatible with the surrounding area and the following exception findings can be met;
1. That the literal enforcement of the provisions of this title will result in restrictions
inconsistent with the spirit and intent of this title in that the proposed project is
consistent with the spirit and intent of the zoning ordinance since it will not
impact the neighborhood due to its ample setbacks/ articulations and compatible
plate heights.
2. That the granting of the exception will not result in a condition which is
materially detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare in that the
proposed project is an allowed use and is compatible with the surrounding
neighborhoods in terms of setbacks, height, mass, style, and design.
3. That the exception to be granted is one that will require the least modification of
the prescribed regulations and the minimum variance that will accomplish the
purpose in that the project property allows for a 4,880 square foot homes. The
applicant chooses not to maximize the allowable F.A.R and requests for a slightly
larger second floor instead. The proposed second floor meets all of the
articulation and setback rules and its design is consistent with the intent of the
ordinance.
