Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council: BACKGROUND The applicants propose a four-lot PUD development plan to allow three new single-family homes on the subject property in addition to the one existing home, in conformance to the North Syca- more Specific Plan. The approval of this PUD development plan would also create design guide- lines and site development standards for the future homes on these lots in conformance to the policies of the Specific Plan. The subject property is zoned PUD - LDR (Planned Unit Development - Low Density Residen- tial) District and is covered by the North Sycamore Specific Plan (NSSP) and Final Environ- mental Impact Report (FEIR). Sycamore Creek Way, a public street, and Sycamore Terrace, a private street, provide access. Topography is characterized by low, rolling slopes with existing tree cover and the presence of Sycamore Creek, which bisects the site. The subject property is developed with one primary structure, two detached second-units, and several sheds and barns. The applicant intends to demolish the existing structures and construct a new home on Parcel One. In the interim, the applicant would retain the house and one of the ex- isting second units, would convert the other second-unit into a detached garage, and would re- move the sheds, barns, corrals, and barbed-wire fence. The portion of the Sycamore Creek chan- nel that bisects the property in the area of the proposed Parcel Two would be retained as an open channel. City utilities were provided to the home on Parcel One with the construction of Syca- more Creek Way. Surrounding uses include a variety of single-family homes on various-sized lots zoned PUD - LDR District or zoned R-1-6,500 (One-Family Residential) District. PROJECT DESCRIPTION PUD Development Plan As previously stated, the proposed project would include PUD development plan approval for a four-lot subdivision. The proposal would include the following: Four lots: Parcel 1 - 19,676 square feet, Parcel 2 - 18,171 square feet, Parcel 3 - 17,896 square feet, and Parcel 4 - 24,341 square feet in area. These are gross lot areas, which in- clude a portion of Sycamore Terrace. 2 Guidelines controlling building, landscape, and site designs for the individual lots, and setback standards. (A detailed discussion of the proposed design guidelines is contained in the "Design Guidelines" section of the attached Planning Commission staff report.) o Completion of the pedestrian sidewalk from Sycamore Terrace to San Carlos Way as re- quired by the North Sycamore Specific Plan.
