BACKGROUND
<br /> The subject property is Lot 4 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 /> design review applications were recently approved for the development of Lots 5 and 6. Lot 4
<br /> is currently vacant. The Estates on Oak Ridge Architectural Design Guidelines specify the
<br /> development standards for each lot within the subdivision, including, but not limited to, the
<br /> designated development area (DDA) or building envelope, building size, building height,
<br /> maximum square footage, maximum floor area ratio, landscaping, and 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 4, or 4 Winding Oaks Drive, is located on the west side of Winding Oaks Drive, north of Lot
<br /> 6 and west of Lot 5. The vacant lot is approximately 3.96 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 northern, eastern and western sides of the DDA. There are
<br /> several existing mature blue oak trees along the north, west and south side of the DDA. All of
<br /> these oaks were preserved at the time the Subdivision was developed. In addition, 47 oak
<br /> trees were planted on this lot, generally within the northern portion of the subject lot, along the
<br /> northern and eastern sides of the DDA, and adjacent to Winding Oaks Drive, as mitigation as
<br /> part of the PUD-54 approval. Residential and open space areas surround the subject lot in all
<br /> directions. Figure 1 shows an aerial photograph of the subject lot, and Figure 2 shows the
<br /> subject lot's site plan, along with the location of the DDA.
