also be visible from this viewpoint. As modeled with a one-story home on Lot 3 and the existing Reznick home on Lot 5, no homes would be visible from the Avingnon development viewpoint. Staff believes that very small portions of the Lot 3 and 5 roofs could be visible from this viewpoint if they were two-story homes as allowed by the guidelines. The existing hillside would completely screen the proposed homes from the Beratlis Place viewpoint. The homes on Lots 6 and 7 would only be visible from the Vineyard Hills viewpoint. Staff notes that a pad elevation of 605 feet was used for Lot 6. The pad elevation for this lot has since been lowered to 602 feet, so even less of it would be visible from this viewpoint. The Brozosky viewpoint shows the view of the proposed private road and retaining wall from Mr. Brozosky's house. Rosemary groundcover has been simulated growing down the wall. The photo simulations will be peer reviewed by a qualified visual consultant reporting to the City. A condition of approval requires that the peer review be completed prior to City Council review of the development plan. If necessary, new conditions of approval will be added to address any comments made by the visual consultant. Because the current photo simulations can only conceptually show the future custom homes, staff has recommended that the future home developers prepare site-specific view analyses with the submittal of their design review applications with the viewpoints selected by the Planning Director. The view analyses will be required to include all approved and/or constructed homes in the development. If determined to be necessary by the Planning Director, the view analyses will need to be peer reviewed by a consultant selected by the City and paid for by the future home developer. Fire Management and Open Space Plans Proper management of Open Space areas is necessary to maintain the quality of the existing natural environment as well as to reduce fire hazards. Therefore, the Specific Plan requires that site-specific Open-Space Management and Wildland Fire Protection Plans be prepared and submitted by each developer oflots which contain Open Space land as a part of the PUD development plan application. The plans are required to address agricultural operations, open space maintenance, wildlife and vegetation preservation needs, and measures to reduce fire intensity through fuels management and to allow the dwellings to resist fire exposure. The Open-Space Management and Wildland Fire Protection Plans have not been completed at this time. A condition of approval requires that the plans be submitted for City Council approval as part of its review of the PUD development plan. Green Building The City Council recently adopted a residential Green Building Ordinance. The homes in this project will be required to comply with the ordinance (provided that they are 2,000 sq. ft. or Page -14
