Sunset Creek Lane, and to reduce the height of Lot 32 to 500 feet in elevation. The project site is presently designated for Rural Density (1 dwelling unit per 5 gross acres) and Low Density (less than 2 dwelling units per gross acres) Residential uses. The subject property is zoned "PUD-LDR/OS,° Planned Unit Development—Low Density Residential) District. Approval of the PUD application would result in the development of residential uses on approximately 22.7 acres of the Lund Ranch site. The proposed gross residential density for the site would be approximately 0.26 dwelling units per acre. The development proposal also includes the extension of Lund Ranch Road from its present terminus at the Lund Ranch property boundary to the southeast for approximately 1,500 feet onto the property. The proposed extension of this roadway would also entail the construction of three cul-de-sacs to serve the planned residential uses on the Lund Ranch site. The project plans designate the majority of the Lund Ranch property for open space uses. Approximately 174 acres (89%) of the site would be dedicated for public open space use. The public open space would be owned by the City and maintained by either the City of the development's homeowners' association (HOA). The project also provides access to the public open space with the development of trails that would extend from the ends of Sunset Creek Lane, Sycamore Creek Way, and the proposed Lund Ranch Road extension. The trails would generally follow an existing unpaved road from the western side of the property, cross the site's creek east of the proposed Lund Ranch subdivision, and climb to ridges on the eastern and northern portions of the subject property. The trails would end at the Foley property on the eastern edge of the project site and at its boundary with the Bonde Ranch property on the north. The latter trail terminus is proposed to connect with a trail that crosses the Bonde Ranch property. The proposed project would be responsible only for trail construction on Lund Ranch property and for a short trail section (approximately 300 feet) that traverses the City's water reservoir site at the end of Sycamore Creek Way. The proposed Trail Plan includes the construction of a foot bridge across the site's creek channel immediately east of the future Lund Ranch Road cul-de- sac.
