Plan to be developed as a 20.6-acre community park and would be designed and built as a furore City project. The design of this future park would be reviewed at future public hearings. The Planning Commission reviewed and recommended approval of the proposed PUD development plan for the single residence, with several minor changes to the proposal, at its meeting of December 8, 2004. The application is now before the Council for final action on the proposal. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed PUD development plan would allow the construction of one, approximately 2,904 square-foot single-family residence with a 560 square foot loft area on the relatively flat southwestern portion of the proposed 1.675-acre lot. The proposal also includes an attached garage of approximately 916 square feet in size. The Craftsman-style architectural design of the house is consistent with the design of the other 26 units in Delco Builders' adjacent Vineyard View and Vineyard Hill subdivisions, currently under construction. The access to the house would be from Leona Place, a private street that is being constructed to serve the adjacent 4-lot Vineyard View subdivision Please refer to the attached December 8, 2004 Planning Commission staff report for additional project information. PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING The proposed PUD development plan was reviewed by the Planning Commission at its public hearing on December 8, 2004. The Commission found the project to be generally well-designed and in keeping with the requirements of the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan. The Commission requested that additional landscaping be planted on the berm along the site's Vineyard Avenue frontage, at the area close to the front of the house, to provide more screening of the proposed residence. Also, the Commission requested that the applicant revise the project photomontage for the City Council's review to show the proposed trim colors. The attached photomontage provided for the Council's review reflects this change to show trim colors. A condition of approval was added to require that the final house colors be provided for the review and approval of the Planning Director to ensure that the colors blend to the greatest extent feasible with the natural environment. Lastly, the Commission requested that the standard existing tree condition be amended to require that replacement trees be provided, in addition to any assessed fine, in the event that any existing on-site trees are damaged on the lot. During the discussion of the project, the question was raised whether adequate sight distance would be provided from vehicles turning into the Leona Place (previously-approved as part of the Vineyard View subdivision). The City Engineer indicated that he would look into this issue subsequent to the Commission hearing. Discussion concerning this issue is provided in the subsequent Analysis section of this report. The Commission voted unanimously (3-0) to recommend approval of the application subject to these changes. SR 05:007 Page 3 of 6
