Open Space and Amenities. The project includes several active and passive recreation areas and amenities. Interior recreation areas and amenities include a fitness facility located in Building A and a community lounge located in Building B. Exterior recreation and amenity areas include a pool, spa, seating areas, barbeque area, children's play area with play equipment, and a common open green. Building B would also have a water feature along the West Las Positas Boulevard frontage. One hundred sixty eight (168) of the 177 units would have private open space areas in the form of patios or balconies. The private open space areas range from 56 sq. ft. to 143 sq.ft.in area. Vehicular Access. Vehicular access to the apartments would be maintained from the existing West Las Positas Boulevard driveways with the right-in/right-out at the western driveway and a signalized intersection of West Las Positas Boulevard and Hacienda Drive. Improvements at West Las Positas Boulevard and Hacienda Drive are proposed as part of the development. The northbound Hacienda Drive approach would be modified to provide one left-turn lane and one shared through/right-turn lane. The southbound Hacienda Drive approach would be modified to include one left-turn lane, one through lane and one right- turn lane. Improvements are also proposed at West Las Positas Boulevard/Stoneridge Drive: the eastbound and westbound West Las Positas Boulevard approaches would be converted to two left turn lanes, two through lanes and one right-turn lane. There are two existing Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA) bus stops near the project site — one is located to the east of the project site, and the other one is located across West Las Positas Boulevard at the middle school. No additional stops are requested by LAVTA for this project. Pedestrian Access. A pedestrian pathway would link the apartment buildings with the passive and active recreational uses on the site. Pedestrian access to the apartment units would be from internal corridors coming from common entries and/or individual garages. Most of the ground floor units would also have direct porch entrances. Apartment Building Design. The apartment buildings present a Spanish influenced architectural style. The materials that are proposed include stucco exterior finish, stone veneer, wood-like trim for the windows, tile roof, wrought iron patio and balcony railings, and awnings. Building walls would pop-in or-out to provide variation in the wall plane and break up the building mass. The rooflines of the buildings have a 4:12 pitch with roof wells to locate HVACs and S-tile with variation in colors (adobe blend) would be the roof material. Building walls vary in materials (stucco, brick veneer, and simulated stone trim) and colors to provide variety and interest. To break the roof volume on Building C and Building D, dormer elements have been added to the second floor roof facing the arroyo (south). To ensure the privacy of the residents across the arroyo, these dormers do not have windows, but instead "horizontal louvers."
