EXHIBIT A FINDINGS 13891 Ciceroni Lane — File # CUP21-0001 and SD20-0086 1. With regard to the Conditional Use Permit (CUP21-0001) to allow for a new recreational facility at 13891 Ciceroni Lane, the Planning Commission finds in accordance with Section 10-1.1007(1) of the Los Altos Hills Municipal Code as follows: a. The proposed use or facility is properly located in relation to the community as a whole, land uses, and transportation and service facilities in the vicinity. The proposed facility is surrounded by residential land uses. As conditioned, the structure will be reserved for private use only, effectively malting it an enclosed sports court. Given the limitations on use, it is appropriate to consider the structure an accessory residential use, albeit a large one. The proposed facility is located on a property at the end of a cul-de- sac with two neighboring properties and three properties across the Fremont Road right- of-way. The structure is proposed with a 48 -foot setback from the Ciceroni Lane right-of- way, which places it over 160 feet from Fremont Road, a main arterial into the Town. As the property is at a higher elevation than surrounding properties and the structure being located 48 feet from the Ciceroni Lane, it will be visible to several neighboring properties; however, the structure is designed to appear single -story from Ciceroni Lane. This location off a Ciceroni Lane, which serves only five other properties will not impact transportation or service facilities, especially as conditioned. b. The site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed use and all yards, open spaces, walls and fences, parldng, loading, landscaping, and such other features as may be required by this chapter or, will be needed to assure that the proposed use will be reasonably compatible with land uses normally permitted in the surrounding area. The large size of the property and moderate slopes within the building envelope result in a site with ample room to accommodate the structure and comply with all requirements of the Zoning Code. The required setbacks to the structure provide adequate room for reasonable landscape screening to ensure that the proposed use will be compatible with the surrounding land uses. c. The site for the proposed use will be served by streets and highways or adequate width and pavement to carry the quantity and hind of traffic generated by the proposed use. The property is currently served by a street of adequate width for the existing land uses on the subject property and neighboring properties. The proposed use will be restricted to private, residential use and, therefore, will not generate a significant increase in traffic as there is currently a single-family residence on the property.
