Road. As proposed, the project requires an amendment to the North Sycamore Specific Plan
<br /> (NSSP) to change the land use designation for the northern portion of the site from PUD-
<br /> Agriculture (PUD-A) to PUD — Low Density Residential (PUD-LDR) in order to allow two more
<br /> residential lots than currently allowed by the NSSP. The project is being presented as a
<br /> workshop item to allow the Planning Commission to provide input and direction to staff and the
<br /> applicant on the proposed specific plan amendment and development of the site. The
<br /> workshop also gives the public an early opportunity to review and comment on the proposed
<br /> project.
<br /> BACKGROUND/HISTORY
<br /> North Sycamore Specific Plan
<br /> In June 1992, the City Council adopted the NSSP, which guides future development in the
<br /> 135-acre specific plan area. The NSSP includes residential, agricultural, and office land uses.
<br /> The project site, which contains an existing residence, is identified as Lot 24 in the NSSP, and
<br /> is designated PUD-A, which requires a minimum lot size of one acre. Figure 1 shows the
<br /> project site location within the NSSP area.

<br /> Site and Area Description
<br /> The project site abuts Sycamore Road on the south side and Sycamore Creek Way on the
<br /> north side. The site is irregular in shape and is approximately 3.28-acres in area. Sycamore
<br /> Creek bisects the existing parcel in an east-west direction. The site presently includes a single-
<br /> family home, with a detached garage and two outbuildings, located towards the southeast
<br /> portion of the property. Access to the existing home is provided by a 15-foot wide driveway
<br /> from Sycamore Road. This driveway crosses a wooden bridge over the creek before it reaches
<br /> the existing residence. There are a number of mature trees on the property including native
<br /> valley oak, sycamore, and California black walnut trees; these are generally located in the
<br /> southern portion of the site and adjacent to the creek. Non-native trees including eucalyptus,
<br /> acacia and other non-native species, are also located on site, and a variety of shrubs, grasses,
<br /> and groundcover surround the existing home.

<br /> proposed five-lot residential development, and thus does not support the Vesting Tentative
<br /> Map as proposed. However, should the Planning Commission support a version of the PUD
<br /> that would increase the allowable density on this project site, a conforming Vesting Tentative
<br /> Map (for 5 lots), or Parcel Map (for 4 or fewer lots) could also be recommended for approval,
<br /> subject to the necessary conditions of approval.
