BACKGROUND
<br /> The subject property is Lot 5 of the Estates on Oak Ridge Subdivision (subdivision), located
<br /> within the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan area. The subdivision, which as originally
<br /> approved in 2006 (PUD-54), includes a total of seven residential lots for custom residences
<br /> and one lot for a City water tank. Lots 1, 2, 3 and 7 have been developed with new homes and
<br /> an application was recently approved for the development of Lot 6. Lot 4 remains vacant with
<br /> no current application for development. The Estates on Oak Ridge Architectural Design
<br /> Guidelines specify the development standards for each lot within the subdivision, including, but
<br /> not limited to, the designated development area (DDA) or building envelope, building size,
<br /> building height, maximum square footage, maximum floor area ratio, landscaping, and
<br /> architectural styles.
<br /> In addition to the specified development standards, all residences within the subdivision are
<br /> encouraged to conform to one of six architectural styles: Craftsman/Bay Area Traditional,
<br /> Mediterranean, Monterey/Spanish Eclectic, French Country, Tuscan Farmhouse, and
<br /> Tudor/English Country. The variety of styles is intended to provide visual interest and
<br /> architectural diversity within the subdivision and ensures a cohesive neighborhood design.
<br /> SITE AND AREA DESCRIPTION
<br /> Lot 5, or 5 Winding Oaks Drive, is located on the east side of Winding Oaks Drive, north of Lot
<br /> 7 and east of Lot 4. The vacant lot is approximately 3.35 acres in size and is irregularly-
<br /> shaped. With the exception of the DDA, which is fairly flat, the site is steeply sloped with the
<br /> terrain sloping downward from the north, east and south sides of the DDA and upward from the
<br /> west side of the DDA. There are several existing mature blue oak trees along the northern,
<br /> northeastern and southeastern perimeters of the DDA. All of these oaks were preserved at the
<br /> time the Subdivision was developed. In addition, 42 oak trees were planted on this lot,
<br /> generally along the northern and western sides of the DDA, as mitigation as part of the
<br /> PUD-54 approval. Residential and open space areas surround the subject lot in all directions.
<br /> Figure 1 shows an aerial photograph of the subject lot, and Figure 2 shows the subject lot's
<br /> partial plot plan, along with the location of the DDA.

<br /> Ms. Clark clarified that the Commission was asking for the EIR to analyzed an increased
<br /> footprint for the staging area so as not to have to re-evaluate it later on.
<br /> Commissioner Brown paraphrased Commissioner Balch's comments that indicate the
<br /> Commission would like to see a range for the size and spaces.
