Barbara Youn¢ Application for Planned Unit Development (PUD) rezoning of an existing 2.91-acre pazcel located at 11249 Dublin Canyon Road from Agriculture (A) District to Planned Unit Development -Low Density Residential (PUD-LDR) District and for Pazcel Map approval to subdivide the existing lot into three parcels, measuring approximately 19,779 square feet; 50,192 square feet; and 45,094 square feet, for three custom homes. Also consider the Negative Declaration prepazed for the project. Ms. Decker presented the staff report, and described the scope and layout of this project. She clarified that the parcel map would be done at the staff level by the Zoning Administrator and staff review board. She noted that the actual approval for the pazcel map would not be until after the City Council approved the ordinance for the PUD itself. She pointed out the access points on the overhead screen. She noted that this project proposed to construct two homes, and the designs were proposed for both Lots 1 and 3; the homes would be part of the PUD. The azchitecture for the two homes were included as a point of the PUD development plan, and any change would need to come back and go through the process for approval. She noted that on Lot 1, there was a significant amount of stonework on the front presentation, and the roofline was nicely articulated in terms of varying ridgelines and gable ends fronting the homes. She noted that there was always an effort to provide four-sided architecture. She noted that Lot 3 had a great deal of articulation in the hipped roof, and there was a dift'erence in the used of stone, as well as a stucco treatment. The color perspectives provided show the Lot 1 home and how it presents to Dublin Canyon Road. Staff requested, and has been provided with, preliminary and conceptual designs for the finnt yazd landscaping that would be required to be in place prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy/building final. The reaz yazd landscaping of the homes would be reserved for the owners to develop as they wish. A retaining wall is located between Lots 2 and 3, and grades aze shown where the home is stepped down. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission find that the proposed rezoning and PUD plan are consistent with the General Plan and PUD Ordinance, make the PUD findings as listed in the staff report, and adopt a resolution recommending approval of PUD-44 to the City Council; also find that the proposed development does not have a significant effect on the environment, adopt a resolution and de minimus impact, approving the attached Negative Declazation. In response to an inquiry by Chairperson Arkin regarding rotating the house on Lot 1 to reduce the number of windows facing the freeway, Ms. Decker noted that the backyard would be narrowed, lowering the amount of private, open recreational space.
