I. BACKGROUND Background On August 28, 2002, the Planning Commission approved the Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map 7372 along with the Final Residential Architectural Development Standards and Design Guidelines for the Mariposa Ranch at the Callipe Preserve Golf Course development. Mariposa Ranch at the Cailipe Preserve Golf Course Mariposa Ranch includes 34 custom residential lots and three estate lots facing Pleasanton's Callippe Preserve Golf Course, which are part of the overall golf course/residential develop- ment. Construction of the golf course including the public streets and infrastructure serving the residential lots has proceeded to where the lots are now being offered for sale. Three custom lots have been sold and several others have pending purchase contracts. The approved guidelines provided development standards for site planning, architectural style, grading, fencing, landscaping, lighting, accessory structures, use of color, criteria for pools/spas, and review and approval procedures. (Copies of the approved guidelines are attached and are a part of Section 2 of Volume One of Exhibit "A".) The approved review process requires an owner of a home site to submit a design review application for review consisting of a site plan, grading plan, floor plans, architectural elevations, entry treatments, lighting, and a color board. A visual analysis may also be needed at the discretion of the Planning Director. Black Mountain Development is the turnkey developer of these homes and has engaged the firm of Loving & Campos Architects to help the project meet the design considerations of the origi- nal approvals. The applicant has expanded the approved guidelines into a composite of exam- ples of architectural style, materials, and colors effectively describing the goals of the original approvals. As stipulated by the PUD conditions of approval, the houses on these lots are to be designed in accordance with the design guidelines and, except for the houses on Lots "A" through "C", are to be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission at a public hearing. The development agreement on Lots "A" through "C" exempts these home sites from Planning Commission review. The significant interest shown in the lots sales and pending sales is the impetus for the appli- cants' request in that the 34 custom homes will be submitted consecutively creating a significant review process. The applicant requests the approval of the design guidelines to effect a stream- lined review process based on the Zoning Administrator's review and approval process. II. SITE DESCRIPTION The subject site is located contiguous to the fairways of the Callipe Preserve Golf Course in the Happy Valley Specific Plan area. Lots 1 through 10 are reached from Westbridge Lane, Lots 11 through 33 are reached from Clubhouse Drive, and Lot 34 is reached from an internal driveway Case No. PUD-98-16-3M Page 2 of 6 March 9, 2005
