Green Building Measures The homes covered by this approval shall be covered by the recently adopted green Building Ordinance, which establishes a minimum of SO points for a home to be determined to be a "green home" with a minimum of 10 points in each category (Resources, Energy, and IAQ/ Health). As required by the ordinance, the applicant would submit a proposed checklist showing which measures are incorporated in the design of the proposed home addition/remodeling in or- der to meet this proposed SO point goal. Both City and ACWMA staff are available to provide technical assistance to future lot purchasers concerning questions they may have about these green building measures and Green Point rating system. Fencing As required by the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan, internal project fencing will be open fencing. The exception will be the common property lines shared with the Montevino Drive properties and the sound wall facing Vineyard Avenue. A fencing plan will be submitted with the Tentative Subdivision Map for review and approval by the Planning Commission. Growth Management Allocations Development of this property would fall under the "First-Come-First-Serve" category of the City's Growth Management program, which has an annual, non-transferable allocation of 100 units. Although past demand for "First-Come-First-Serve" units has exceeded supply in the past, that demand has declined since 2000. Staff, therefore, anticipates that there would be ade- quate building permit capacity for these lots in the future. Grading At the work session, the Planning Commission requested a clear grading plan for the proposal. The full size copy of the grading plan is attached. Lots 1 through 9 and 11 through 13 will be graded as flat pad lots. Lot 10 will be contour graded lot because of topography. Slope banks graded at a 3/1 slope will address the differences in pad heights, e.g., side-to-side and side-to- rear, of adjoining lots. A 9- to 27-foot tall slope bank faces Vineyard Avenue transitioning the grades of Lots 1 through 3 to Vineyard Avenue. The Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan states that, "Grading for buildings, driveways, outdoor-use areas, etc., should be compatible with existing topographic contours and minimized to preserve the natural topogra- phy of the site." Attached for reference is the grading plan for the adjoining Clara Lane development by Delco Builders. Except for two contour graded lots, the Clara Lane development is a flat pad devel- opment with its larger areas of significant topography set aside as permanent open space.
