<br />DRAFT . Article 5
<br />2-582 RS-VP Sub -District— Residential Site Plan Review and Exceptions to Height Restrictions
<br />[NEW]
<br />A. Intent of R&VP (View Preservation) Sub -district. The regulations and review
<br />requirements of the RS-VP sub -district are intended to restrict new construction that
<br />would impair residents' enjoyment of distant views of scenic features. New single
<br />family construction projects are regulated so that neighbors' views are not
<br />unreasonably blocked : by the " new construction. Pursuant to Section 2-536, the
<br />maximum height of structures in the RS-VP:Sub-district is not to exceed 18 feet or
<br />one story. In addition, all new homes and additions are evaluated through a publicly
<br />noticed discretionary procedure to prevent unreasonable blockage of views, minimize
<br />potential adverse impacts to neighbors and to assure single family residences are
<br />visually compatible with their surroundings ("View PreservationlSite Plan Review").
<br />B. Height Restrictions in the RS-VP Sub -district.
<br />1. Maximum Height of Structure shall not exceed 18 feet. Notwithstanding the
<br />definition of "height" in Section 1-304, the maximum height of a structure in
<br />the RS-VP sub -district shall not exceed 18 feet, pursuant to Section 2-536.C:
<br />"Additional Height. Restrictions in RS-VP Sub -District."
<br />2. Maximum of One Story. A maximum of one story is permitted in the RS-VP
<br />sub -district, except that the improvement of a basement or space below an
<br />existing habitable story (i.e. construction of a new habitable story within the
<br />building envelope of a pre-existing structure) is exempt from this one story
<br />limitation.
<br />C. Exceptions to Height Restrictions of the RS- VP Sub -district.
<br />1. Exceptions Authorized The Board of Zoning Adjustments is authorized to
<br />grant Exceptions to the height limits of the RS-VP sub -district, up to a height
<br />not to exceed the 30 feet height limit of the base RS District. Construction in
<br />excess of the RD District's limit of 30 feet is subject to approval of both an
<br />Exception, as authorized by this Section, and a Variance pursuant to the
<br />requirements of Article 22,
<br />2. Required Finding for Granting of an Exception. To approve an Exception to
<br />the height limit of the RS-VP District, the decision -making body shall make the
<br />following finding:
<br />a. Mandatory Finding: The views currently enioved by neighbors are
<br />retained. The proposed construction that is in excess of the height limits
<br />of the RS-VP sub -district does not unreasonably block or diminish
<br />neighbor's views of distant and scenic features, such as the San
<br />Francisco Bay and surrounding open spaces and skylines, to any greater
