Procedural history
Project is located at 500 Ferren Road, and includes 15,864 sq. ft. of structures on a prominent ridge on a 17 acre parcel between Farren Road and Rancho Embarcadero. House (11,553 sq.ft.); attached garage (1798 sq.ft.); guest house (800 sq.ft.) and attached garage (568 sq.ft.); barn (1200 sq.ft.); 660-foot long berm; and accessory structures, including a driveway and two 5,000 gallon water tanks, and utilities, including extension of a municipal waterline. The house is over 300 feet long, visible from many public viewing places including Highway 101, Farren Road, and Ranch Embarcadero. The house and the berm each break the skyline (the structure’s outline is seen against the background of the sky) from many of these locations. The parcel is a legal non-conforming lot zoned for agriculture, AG-II-100.
