Elevated siting relative to the R478 Scenic Route, combined with the design, form, and scale of the proposed dwelling, would create an unduly prominent feature. Cumulative impact with the adjacent dwelling would negatively alter the character of the exposed coastal rural area.

CDP 13.2 (Settled Landscapes), CDP 13.7 (Scenic Routes)

would form an unduly prominent feature at this location and result in a form of development that would negatively alter the character of this exposed coastal rural area
