5) (3) Houses should be designed with porches, bay windows , balconies , etc. overlooking the fronting streets to create attractive street views and to encourage neighborhood interaction . (4) The maximum height of future buildings on Lots 1 , 2, and 3 may be reduced to 25 feet , if necessary, to preserve the privacy and views of existing residents on Montevino Drive. b) Landscaping (1) Street tree programs shall be implemented for all LDR developments. The planting pattern of street trees should be informal , with randomly-spread clusters to establish a visually pleasing transition to the natural surroundings . (2) Should the owner of the Hatsushi Nursery located on Lots 1 and 2 choose to continue the use of the nursery, the owner is encouraged to landscape a minimum of 15 feet of the front yard along the full site frontage and to screen the parking and non-plant material storage areas from the view of motorists travelling on Vineyard Avenue . Specific Medium Density Residential District Design Guidelines The following specific design guidelines shall apply to the Medium Density Residential District: Due to the proximity of the Plan Area to the South Livermore Valley wine country, the overall design character of the MDR areas (Lots 18, 19, 21, and 28) should reflect a vineyard theme. The primary design objective for this area is to create clusters of detached housing surrounded by vineyards , reminiscent of small rural European "vineyard villages " (Figure IV-4). Figure IV-5 presents a conceptual site plan to illustrate this concept. This plan is intended for illustrative purposes only . Building siting patterns, architectural design, and landscaping should follow in the wine-country styles and traditions . a) Site Planning (1) The site-planning arrangement of the vineyard village is one of buildings organized in a clustered fashion and generally buffered from adjacent roadways and other land uses by vineyards . 36
