Ponderosa Homes at 6900 Valley Trails Drive Initial Study and Negative Declaration 2.5 ZONING The project site is zoned R-1-6,500 (One-Family Residential) District, which allows single-family dwellings with a minimum lot size of 6,500 square feet. The applicant is proposing to rezone the site to PUD-MDR (Planned Unit Development - Medium Density Residential), to allow for flexibility in the development standards. 2.6 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant, Ponderosa Homes, is proposing to subdivide the approximately 9- acre site to construct 36 single-family residential lots, a private clubhouse with parking lot, and related infrastructure and site improvements. The existing church and site improvements, including the surface parking lot and driveway, would be demolished and removed. The project includes: e 36 single-family homes e A 945-square foot private clubhouse/meeting room facility, with a 10-space parking lot e New public streets, sidewalks, landscape strips and 125 new street trees, and 30 on-street parking spaces; e Removal of 27 trees (14 on-site and 13 existing street trees), including 1 heritage tree; e New private open space and stormwater treatment areas (Parcels A and B) adjacent to the cul-de-sacs; and e Pedestrian/bicycle connections to the existing Valley Trails Park pathway from the cul-de-sacs; Off-site improvements include: e Sidewalk improvements along the existing Valley Trails Drive, to fill in a gap of missing sidewalk between the church parking lot and the existing residences to the north (between Lots 29 through 37) and the addition of landscaping, curb extensions, and street trees; e A tot lot, dedication of land (Parcel C) to the City, and landscaping and irrigation improvements to Valley Trails Park. Access to the homes would primarily be provided through a new entry street from Valley Trails Drive, opposite Lassen Street, as shown in the site plan (Figure 3). This new entry street forks into two streets that would terminate in cul-de-sacs. However, homes fronting Valley Trails Drive would be accessed directly from Valley Trails Drive. Pedestrian access to the existing neighborhood park and walking paths to the Valley Trails Park would be provided at the end of each cul-de-sac. 7
