BACKGROUND The subject property is Lot 6 of the Estates on Oak Ridge Subdivision (subdivision), located within the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan area. The subdivision, which as originally approved in 2006 (PUD-54), includes a total of seven residential lots for custom residences and one lot for a City water tank. Lots 1, 2, 3 and 7 have been developed with new homes and an application was recently submitted for the development of Lot 5. Lot 4 remains vacant with no current application for development. The Estates on Oak Ridge Architectural Design Guidelines specify the development standards for each lot within the subdivision, including, but not limited to, the designated development area (DDA) or building envelope, building size, building height, maximum square footage, maximum floor area ratio, landscaping, and architectural styles. In addition to the specified development standards, all residences within the subdivision are encouraged to conform stylistically to one of six architectural styles: Craftsman/Bay Area Traditional, Mediterranean, Monterey/Spanish Eclectic, French Country, Tuscan Farmhouse, and Tudor/English Country. The variety of styles is intended to provide visual interest and architectural diversity within the subdivision and ensures a cohesive neighborhood design. SITE AND AREA DESCRIPTION Lot 6, or 6 Winding Oaks Drive, is located on the west side of Winding Oaks Drive and is adjacent to the City water tank. The vacant lot is approximately 3.3 acres in size and is irregularly shaped. With the exception of the DDA, which is fairly flat, the site is steeply sloped with the terrain sloping upward, generally from the western edge of the parcel towards the southeast (adjacent to the southern and western edges of the DDA). There is one existing mature blue oak tree within the far southern end of the DDA and approximately a dozen existing mature blue and valley oak trees scattered throughout the northern and southern reaches of the parcel. All of these oaks were preserved at the time the Subdivision was developed. In addition, 56 oak trees were planted on this lot, on all sides of the DDA, as mitigation as part of the PUD-54 approval (see Plan Sheet L-103 of Exhibit B.) Residential and/or open space areas generally surround the subject lot in all directions.

The idea to have a Task Force or smaller group to work on the parking issue means people need to come to it with the willingness to look at things beyond just adding supply two years from now through a parking structure.
