EXHIBIT A
FINDINGS
25240 Cantata Way — File #SD21-0104
1. With regard to the Site Development Permit (SD21-0104) to allow for a new two-story
residence at 25240 Cantata Way, the Planning Commission finds in accordance with Section
10-2.102 of the Los Altos Hills Municipal Code as follows:
a. The proposed development is in compliance with all regulations and policies set forth in
the Site Development Ordinance.
The proposed new residence, accessory dwelling unit, and associated hardscape improvements
comply with all applicable regulations and policies set forth in the Site Development Ordinance
because the project does not exceed maximum floor area and development area, meets the
building height, meets or exceeds existing setbacks, and complies with all other applicable
requirements in the Site Development Ordinance and the Zoning Code. The architectural style
of the proposed primary residence and the accessory dwelling unit will match each other and
maintain overall aesthetic character. The project proposes minimal grading for the proposed
residence, ADU and improvements. The Conditions of Approval shown in Exhibit B to this
resolution also provide requirements to preserve on-site trees to the greatest extent possible
and requires replacement trees to be incorporated into the landscape screening plan. As the
project is located within an Open Space Conservation area, Condition No. 20 further requires
the dedication of an Open Space Easement along the top of the creek bank to the Town in
preservation of the natural and rural characteristics of the community. Similarly, the conditions
of approval also include restrictions on fencing and retaining wall designs to achieve the
desired aesthetics and natural community appearances in the Town.
In particular, the Santa Clara County Fire Department reviewed the proposed plans and
required that as the private roadway providing access to the site serves more than two single-
family homes, the roadway must be no less than 20 feet in width with a vertical clearance of
13 feet and 6 inches to allow for safe passage of emergency vehicles. The project will undertake
such road widening work as described in Condition No. 15 below. In addition, the project will
also provide other fire safety features such as automatic sprinklers, fire hydrant, fire truck
turnaround and access driveway, based on requirements of the County Fire Department.
As described in the accompanying staff report and based on the public hearing record, the
project meets the development standards and criteria set forth in the Zoning Code and the Site
Development Ordinance. The project will not create negative aesthetic impacts on the Town's
rural and natural characteristics. The project will comply with fire safety requirements and
emergency access requirements as conditioned, and provides for the safety, benefit and welfare
of Town residents. The portion of the property along the creels will be protected with an open
space easement and the private road improvements will greatly improve emergency access to
the project site and surrounding properties. Thus, the Planning Commission finds that the
proposed project is consistent with the regulations and intent of the Site Development
Ordinance and the conditions of approvals listed in Exhibit B are warranted.
