Terrain is generally flat north of Vineyard A venue but transitions to steep slopes on the south side. Elevations range from 383 feet above sea level on Lot 18 (adjacent to the Arroyo del Valle) to 700 feet at the southwest comer of the Plan Area on Lot 22. The entire site drains toward the Arroyo del Valle. The Plan Area is best characterized as a "rural residential" neighborhood.
