SUMMARY: The home proposed by the applicant conforms to the Mariposa Ranch Design Guidelines and achieves a high level of design quality. The design was peer-reviewed in confor- mance with the procedures established by the design guidelines and was then approved by the Zoning Administrator. The design review approval was appealed by Jerry Wagner and the Planning Commission upheld the Zoning Administrator's action at a public hearing. The applicant appealed the Commission's action to the City Council only in order to be placed on this hearing agenda. After the applicant appealed the Commission's action, Jerry Wagner submitted his appeal of the Planning Commission's action. Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council: I. BACKGROUND Background This is the second house of the 34 custom homes planned for the Mariposa Ranch development at the Callippe Preserve Golf Course. It is the first house processed under the new design review procedures established by the City Council for this development with PUD-98-16-3M. Following the review procedures set forth in the Mariposa Ranch design guidelines, the proposal was first reviewed by David Bogstad of the architectural firm of Loving and Campos. After be- ing approved by Mr. Bogstad, it was then submitted to the Planning Department. The Zoning Administrator approved Case PDR-48 on September 7,2005. As stipulated by the City Council, there was a 20-day appeal period of the Zoning Administrator's action. Planning Commission Appeal The project was appealed to the Planning Commission with concerns related to tlte following: . The proposed residence is too large and not in keeping with the intent of the Happy Valley Specific Plan (HVSP); . The floor area ratio (FAR) outlined in the HVSP has been exceeded; and, . The development of the site will negatively impact the groundwater reserves by infil- tration of pollutants derived from the new landscape and vehicles on the site. The Planning Commission denied the appeal at its public hearing, thereby upholding the Zoning Administrator's approval. SR 05:320 Page 2 of 8
