Design Guidelines Review Procedures: The review of the home designs for these lots would be administered by a two -step process. 1. An "in- house" review conducted by the development's Design Review Board (DRB) will be established to ensure consistency with the design guidelines. The design plans would be approved by DRB before being submitted to City staff for review. 2. After receipt of the DRB approval, the proposal would then be reviewed by City staff following the review procedures set forth in Section 18.20 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code. Having a DRB administer the first stage of design review ensures compliance with the design guidelines as well as a continuity of review among the various house designs, ensuring that the individual design works well within the design ensemble of the surrounding homes. Similar procedures have been successfully implemented in Ruby Hill, Mariposa Ranch, and the adjacent Serenity development. Grading Plan and Utilities Grading: Cut and fill would be employed to create the private road and turn around at the southern end of the lots with grading on the individual lots to occur at the time of the development for each lot. The custom designed lot would follow the design criteria specified in the design guidelines. Utilities: The proposed development will utilize the existing sewer line that connects to the City's main on Sanctuary Lane. Geotechnical Investigation Report and Peer Review A site specific Preliminary Geotechnical and Geologic Investigation report was prepared by TRC Lowney. The report identified regional seismic faults and stated that although the Verona Fault is approximately 0.4 miles northeast of the project site, it is not considered capable of generating large earthquakes. The site is not located within an Alquist Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone as delineated by the California Division of Mines and Geology. The State of California provides minimum standards for building design through the California Building Standards Code (UBC). The Califomia Uniform Building Code is based on the UBC and has been modified for California conditions with numerous detailed and /or stringent regulations. Specific seismic safety requirements are set forth in Chapter 23 of the UBC. The State earthquake protection law requires that buildings be designed to resist stresses produced by lateral forces caused by earthquakes. The City implements the requirements of the UBC through its building permit process. Tree Report A tree report was prepared by Hort Science, evaluating the potential development impacts to trees that are located within the proposed development area. The report includes an evaluation of the tree health and structural conditions, and an appraisal of the trees that are to PUD- 75/PGPA- 14 /PSPA -3: Wentworth Planning Commission Page 9 of 13
