The 384-acre Plan Area is divided into five land use categories as follows : residential, including possible wine country commercial-related businesses (119 acres); vineyards (66 acres); open space (155 acres); a 20-acre community park; and a 12-acre elementary school. Each of these land uses are described in greater detail below. The land use plan (Figure IV-2) identifies individual development areas and uses. It also illustrates the planned circulation network. The number indicated within each residential development area on the plan refers to the number of dwelling units allowed within that area unless otherwise precluded for public health or safety reasons. This number does not include existing homes . Table 11 -1 presents a summary of the land use figures by land use district, and Table IV-1 specifies the number of existing and planned homes on a lot-by -lot basis. 1. Residential The land use plan provides for 189 new housing units in addition to 18 existing homes which are planned to be retained or relocated on-site. In order to accommodate a range of housing types and densities that respond to the site terrain and community needs, the plan includes four residential designations. These consist of Semi-Rural Residential , Hillside Residential , Low Density Residential , and Medium Density Residential. Semi-Rural Residential: The Semi -Rural Residential (SRR) district permits custom homes on five-acre minimum-sized lots . Land designated SRR is located in Subarea 3 at Lots 29 , 30, and 31 . A total of one new home is permitted in the SRR area (Lot 29). Lot 30 and 31 are already developed. The SRR lots are intended to provide a transitional buffer between residential uses to the north and agricultural land to the south. Hillside Residential: The Hillside Residential (HR) district provides for 19 new homes on 40,000-square foot minimum-sized lots. Development areas are located in the hilly portions of Subareas 1 and 3. The purpose of this designation is to allow for a clustering of homes in well-defined areas of the hills in order to preserve significant natural features such as ridgelines , hilltops, oak woodland , creeks , and steep slopes. Open space land surrounding the HR district is to be permanently preserved. Low Density Residential: The Low Density Residential (LDR) district permits a total of 79 new homes with a 20 ,000-square foot minimum lot size. The LDR area is generally located in the rolling hills south of Vineyard Avenue . 19 1 1In addition to the uses permitted pursuant to the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan, housing is also allowed as a permitted use pursuant to the 6th Cycle Housing Element. Housing Element sites shall follow the Objective Design Standards.
