PUD-93-02-09M 2001 Ruby Hill Boulevard ~ Review the proposed design guidelines for the future home When relocated, the building would be situated approximately 180 feet from Vineyard Avenue. It would be oriented northeasterly with the entryway directly facing the new driveway on Vineyard Avenue. A roundabout would be constructed in the front of the building to be used as a drop-off site for valet parking. The roundabout area will feature a fountain and decorative landscaping. The exterior of the building would remain as it currently is. The existing terrace area at the back of the building would be used primarily as the outdoor dining area when weather permits. This outdoor dining area would face southwest toward the vineyard, away from the existing residential properties at Ruby Hill. In addition to the terrace, the applicant proposes a courtyard located to the immediate south of the building. The proposed courtyard would be used exclusively during private functions. It would not be used as restaurant seating area. The proposed restaurant would be open daily as follows: ^ Sunday -Thursday: 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. ^ Friday/Saturday, and the day before a Federal holiday: 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. The applicant also proposes to host private functions at the restaurant. These functions may include weddings, corporate events, etc. In order to offset any scheduling conflict and any potential impacts to the restaurant patrons, Ruby Hill residents, and the public in general, the private functions would take place during non-dining hours, i.e. between the hours of 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The dining area within the restaurant would be provided on both the ground and the upper floors. An elevator would be installed to provide access to those in need. At full capacity, the restaurant could accommodate 230 people, with 180 seats within the restaurant and 50 seats in the terrace area. A parking lot is proposed to the east of the site entrance. It would have a total of 100 parking spaces for restaurant staff and patrons. Acoustic music would be played inside the restaurant and in the garden during private functions. There would be no changes to the existing landscaping along Vineyard Avenue, except that the landscaping at the proposed entryway would be removed. The proposed landscaping scheme could be categorized as "perimeter landscaping" and "focused landscaping". A building pad for a future residence is also part of the application. The proposed residential building pad is the current location of the sale office building. Access to and from the proposed residence would be via the existing driveway off Ruby Hill Boulevard. To prevent restaurant patrons from entering the restaurant from Ruby Hill Boulevard, a gate would be installed at the end of the parking. This gate however would be accessible by emergency vehicles when needed. Signage for the restaurant consists of a freestanding sign located at the entryway. The sign would be made of tempered glass with etched lettering. The design elements of the future residence are listed in the proposed design guidelines. The home would be a Tuscan style home blending into the vineyard setting. Surrounding Land Uses and Settin II.
