bringing a small increment of additional traffic and includes both traffic calming improvements and trail improvements for better pedestrian separation. In response to Councilmember Arkin, Director Clark advised there is a comprehensive set of design standards and staff would review each home individually to ensure compliance. She explained the standards were written to ensure the houses would fit in with the rural characteristics of the Happy Valley area. She also confirmed the Affordable Housing Agreement includes Lower Income Housing Fees for each new home and ADUs would provide a source of affordable housing for this development. In response to Councilmember Narum, Director Clark clarified the applicant would pay up to the value of fee credits for the improved bicycle trails plus an additional 11% of excess costs. She explained if costs did exceed 11%, there would have to be a discussion about the source of the funding for the trails, but added it would most likely come from the Transportation Capital Improvement Fund. She clarified the amount of available funding is contingent on what projects are approved by Council over the coming years. She added staff is confident it will come up with a project fitting within the balance of fee credits, let alone having the 11 % buffer to help cover the costs of construction. In response to Mayor Brown, Director Clark stated it has not yet been determined who will manage the 80 acres of open space but added Tri -Valley Conservancy is a likely organization. She also confirmed the project is compliant with Measure PP, Measure QQ, and hillside protection ordinances. In response to Mayor Brown, Associate Planner Soo stated the maximum size of the ADUs will be 1,000 square feet. Director Clark clarified 1,000 square feet is the maximum for a two-bedroom ADU as mandated by State law and the City's ADU ordinance complies with this standard. Mayor Brown added the Council discussed not allowing two-story ADUs if they are being incorporated into an existing neighborhood but noted it does not apply here because this is a new neighborhood. In response to Mayor Brown, Director Clark clarified there are no public trails currently running across the Spotorno site. In response to Mayor Brown, Traffic Engineer Mike Tassano clarified residents will be able to choose from a menu of options including speed bumps, radar speed signs, or others at the residents' discretion. He added the current speed bumps and radar speed signs were requested by the residents in 2006. Director Clark stated the traffic calming elements are intended to be developer -funded as part of the project. In response to Councilmember Testa, Director Clark stated the design guidance is derived from the HVSP. Staff also looked at subdivisions near the Callippe Preserve Golf Course to take architectural cues. Associate Planner Soo confirmed the styles selected include English Tudor and French Country. She added these styles can be found off of Sycamore Road in the nearby Greenbriar neighborhood. She added the majority of the new homes will be in a California or Spanish bungalow style. She added having options will avoid the houses being done in a cookie -cutter style while also fitting in with the surrounding areas. She clarified the square footage will be limited to 20% of each lot. In response to Councilmember Testa, Director Clark confirmed there is a fault line on the property and the development standards include a setback from the fault line based upon a professional engineer's recommendation. Associate Planner Soo confirmed the setback is 50 feet, and the project requirements include filling in the scar. Director Clark added the homes will also have to be designed to the appropriate seismic standards. Spotorno family consultant Marty Inderbitzen expressed appreciation for the City staffs work.
