Patco Enternrises Application for rezoning from the A (Agriculture) District to the PUD (planned Unit Devel<l\lment) - MDD. (Med.i\lm Density \\.es\llen\h\) 1}\strict anil l'lID development plan approval for eleven clustered, single-family detached units on an approximately 1.66-acre lot located at 4110 Del Valle Parkway. The proposal also includes construction of an 8'0" wide, paved bicycle/pedestrian trail located in the Arroyo Del Valle from the Union Pacific Railroad bridge to the existing trail-head located east of Main Street near Vervais Drive. The Planning Commission will also consider the Negative Declaration prepared for the project. Mr. Pavan presented the staff report on the request to rezone the subject property at 4110 Del Valle Parkway, from A (Agriculture) District to the PUD (Planned Unit Development) _ MDR (Medium Density Residential) District and PUD Development Plan approval for 11 clustered, single-family detached homes on an approximately 1.66 acre site. This project has several land use issues: conformance to the General Plan densities, sufficient amount of amenities to offset the higher density, and the applicant's offer to complete the bicycle/pedestrian trail through the arroyo froin the Union Pacific railroad bridge to connect with existing trail-head near Vervais Drive. Staff is satisfied this public amenity is adequate to allow the density of the project. Mr. Pavan advised the site is impacted by the noise of the Union Pacific railroad. To mitigate this impact, the developer will be adding many upgrades to the project to mitigate the noise inside the residences. The alternative if these measures were not included would be a 16 ft. soundwall. A third issue is the adjacent Arroyo Del Valle. The project will keep the arroyo open and will locate a private street along the top of the arroyo. The developer was required to demonstrate to Zone 7 that the banks would be stable; they will be installing some concrete reinforcement sections and rip- rap. Grass will be planted on top of the rip-rap. With these conditions, Zone 7 will accept dedication of this portion of the Arroyo Del Valle. Staff feels the design is very nicely done and is very attractive. Me. Pavan advised that the project will have a two-color painting scheme, however, staff would like to add a condition that they be able to examine the colors again for final determination. The developer will install a seven foot masonry wall between the development and the adjacent single family residence. This is satisfactory to the adjacent property owners. In view of the overall project, staff recommends approval of Case PUD-96-9, subject to the conditions of approval, and with the additional condition that the colors will be submitted for final review. Commissioner Wright inquired if the covering and re-vegetation has been proven effective against high water erosion. Mr. Pavan affirmed that it has. Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 July 10, 1996
