Lemoine Property: At Workshop #6, a representative of the Lemoine property requested that the City consider the further development potential allowed on this site west of Foothill Road. The 45-acre site was approved for development of 13 lots (which included the existing home site) with PUD-99-0 1. The developable acreage on the site consists of 18 acres designated Rural Density Residential (RDR), yielding 3 units, and 11.6 acres of Low Density Residential (LDR), with a mid-point of 11 units and maximum density of23 units. The maximum density on the site would be 26 units, or 13 units in addition to what is currently approved. Based on the topography of the site and other constraints, staff believes it may not be desirable to develop this site at the maximum end of the density range. Furthermore, development at a density above the mid-point of the density range would require the developer to provide a public amenity sufficient to justify the increased density. If the City Council wished to consider a project above the mid-point density (which would require the provision of an amenity) a few additional units might be developed on the remaining 4.6 acres ofland designated LDR. The number and placement of any additional units would have to be evaluated as part of a future Planned Unit Development application. Merrit/DeSilva Gates Property: This approximately 46-acre property is located on the east side of Foothill Road, just south of Muirwood Drive and north of Foothill Knolls Drive. The property is outside of the City limits. In 1999 the City Council approved a PUD for 89 single- family homes; however, later that year, the project was the subject of a referendum (Measure P), that was successful and rescinded the pre-zoning and project approval. The property has remained designated for Low Density Residential (LDR) development on the General Plan, and since 1999, the City has received no applications for development. Staff believes the LDR designation, which would allow a mid-point density of 46 units and a maximum of92 units, is still an appropriate density for this infill site, and no further discussion is needed regarding this site as part of the General Plan Update. Lester Property and the Public Health and Safety Designation: At Workshop #6 it was noted that a portion of the Lester property (approximately 16 acres out ofa total of 120 acres) was designated on the General Plan as Open Space - Public Health and Safety. The 1996 General Plan defines this land use designation as follows: Public Health and Safety - Land set aside for the protection of the public health and' safety due to geologic, topographic, fire, or other hazards. No development is allowed in these areas other than one single-family home on existing lots of record as of September 16, 1986 which meet City requirements for access, public safety, building site and architectural design, etc. The area designated Public Health and Safety encompasses a heavily wooded canyon and a creek, and is thus consistent with the description of the land use designation. Please note that this portion of the Lester property has been designated as Public Health and Safety at least since 1986. SR 06:102 Page 4 of7
