BACKGROUND
Description of Proposed Project
The applicant proposes to subdivide the existing 15,574 square foot cul-de-sac lot into two lots and construct two new two-story single-family residences with 45% Floor Area Ratio (FAR). The existing one-story single-family home is proposed to be demolished as part of this project.
Following are the details for the individual two lots:
A Tentative Parcel Map is required for subdividing a parcel into four or fewer lots. Two separate lots with an easement for a shared driveway are proposed as part of this application.
A Variance is required per the Sunnyvale Municipal Code (SMC) as a tandem parking garage is provided for one of the single-family residences and the lot widths of the lots are less than the minimum required for the R-0 zoning district.
A Design Review is required for construction of new houses to evaluate compliance with the City's development standards and Single-Family Home Design Techniques.
See Attachment 1 for a map of the vicinity and mailing area for notices and Attachment 2 for the Data Table of the project.
