As shown in the exhibit above, the proposed Lot 1 and a portion of the proposed Lot 2 would <br /> be located within the "mustard colored" area as identified in the VACSP Land Use Plan for <br /> hillside residential development. <br /> The VACSP indicates that all hillside home sites must be located within the designated <br /> development areas as generally depicted (underline added) on the land use plan, the "mustard <br /> colored blob" as it was referred to. Staff notes that the land use plans are not usually meant to <br /> be precise, but can be flexible. <br /> Prior to the proposed hillside residential development, there were two hillside residential <br /> developments in the VACSP on Lot 25 (PUD-54/Reznick) and Lot 27 (PUD-32/Sarich). During <br /> PUD development plan reviews of these projects, much discussion occurred concerning the <br /> "blob" locations vs the proposed home sites. As a result, staff prepared a memo the Planning <br /> Commission addressing hillside development issues including the "blobs". <br /> The memo is attached as Exhibit F, and an excerpt of the memo referring to the development <br /> area as "blobs" or "dots" stated: <br /> The dots show the number of planned residential units with an asterisk for an existing home. Where <br /> more than one unit is planned,the dots take on an irregular shape presumably signifying the general <br /> location for the units. These"dots"or"blobs,"as the case may be,do not appear to be randomly placed. <br /> However, Figure IV-2 does not have the precision of topographic contours or other descriptive features <br /> that would specify an exact location. Again,as noted on page 23 of the Specific Plan,there was some <br /> flexibility built into the Specific Plan to allow specific site development standards to be looked at <br /> through the City's PUD process and varied"for unusual site conditions as long as any new standards are <br /> consistent with the intent of the Specific Plan." <br /> In response to staff's questions whether the Specific Plan requires the proposed home to be <br /> built precisely on the "blob" shown on the land use plan or whether there was flexibility with <br /> respect to interpretation of the Specific Plan, there was consensus among the Commissioners <br /> that there could be flexibility considered in the siting of the future lots and that the proposed <br /> home did not need to be located precisely on the "blob" shown on the land use plan. In <br /> reviewing the previous PUD developments, the general consensus that the location of the lots <br /> was consistent with the intent of the VACSP, and was no direction was provided to amend the <br /> VACSP. The City Council concurred with the Commission's discussion. To that end, the <br /> Sarich and Reznick developments both stray from the location of the illustrative "blobs." <br /> The VACSP requires hillside residential lots to have a minimum lot size of 40,000 square feet. <br /> The subject "blob" area is approximately 78,000 square feet in size, which would not <br /> accommodate three, 40,000-square-foot lots. However, this 78,000-square-foot hillside <br /> residential area would accommodate three home sites or building envelopes. If the homes <br /> were located in this "blob" area, these homes would need to be located closer to the <br /> southeastern portion of the "blob" where grades are more gentle than the north portion of the <br /> Page - 8 <br />
