Proposed Design Guidelines The Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan (VACSP) states the following that would apply to the proposed development: Residential Development Standards (page 25) a Maximum Building Height in the HR District is 30 feet. a Building height is measured vertically from the lowest elevation of the building to the highest elevation of the building, excluding chimneys. Primary buildings shall be limited to two stories in height, and accessory buildings shall be limited to 25 feet and one story in height. a Primary buildings located on Lot 17 and on existing elevations exceeding 540 feet shall be limited to 25 feet in height and one story. General Residential Design Guideline (pages 30 and 31) a Buildings should be designed to minimize visual height and bulk. Building height, bulk, and floor area should respond to lot size, natural site terrain, and other site conditions. Wall recesses and projections, roof overhangs, decks, porches, bay windows, dormer windows, and other architectural features are encouraged to reduce visual bulk and create interest. a Building feature proportions (i.e., doors, windows, entries, roof forms, wall massings, etc.) should be carefully balanced. One-story entries are strongly encouraged while entries exceeding one-and-one-half stories should be prohibited. Specific Hillside Residential District Design Guideline (page 35) a House designs should be limited to traditional architectural styles and forms adjusted to conform to the natural character of the site. a Architectural design should emphasize the blending of buildings into the natural surroundings and minimizing building visibility from off-site areas. a Medium to dark earth-tone building colors shall be used to complement the surrounding natural setting. Darker colors will generally be less conspicuous when viewed from a distance. White, tan, light gray, blue, and yellow are inappropriate building base colors. The home on Lot 1 would be a split-level home to minimize grading; thus, the proposed house pad on Lot 1 would be located on elevations of 460 feet and 470 feet, and the proposed house pad on Lot 2 would be located on elevation 515 feet. The proposed home design guidelines require the homes to be designed to integrate into the hillside setting or a split-level design. Regarding height, the design guidelines require, at any point on the plane of any visible elevation, the height of the structure, measured from the existing grade to the highest point of the finished roofing, shall not exceed 30 feet. The overall height of the structure, measured Page - 15
