Proposed Building, Site, and Landscape Design Guidelines <br />The lot-specific house, site, and landscape designs will be controlled by design <br />guidelines, attached as part of Exhibit A. The design guidelines are tailored for the <br />hillside setting of this development and provide detailed and comprehensive landscape <br />and building design standards. The guidelines also include examples of the house <br />designs for the different types of lots of this development. <br />The review of the home designs for these lots would be administered by a two-step <br />process including an "in-house" review administered by the Oak Grove Review Board <br />and then the formal design review administered by the Planning Department. <br />Grading/Urban Stormwater RunofF <br />The proposed grading plan includes the following features: <br />• Lots and streets would be located in the most geologically stable areas of the site <br />in order to avoid landslide areas and to reduce grading. Initial grading will be <br />necessary to accommodate the public streets and the front-yard portion of the <br />lots. The remainder of the lot will then be contour-graded and "feathered" to <br />existing terrain. <br />Grading for the overall development, not including private lot grading, will result <br />in approximately 620,000 cubic yards of cut and fill material being moved on the <br />site. Of this amount, approximately 390,000 cubic yards of excess material will <br />be stockpiled in two areas of the open space area. The remaining 290,000 cubic <br />yards will be used as fill material for the roads. This will prevent off-hauling <br />material down Hearst Drive and through the existing neighborhoods. <br />• The lots would be designed to drain to the detention basins shown on the site <br />plan to pretreat the runoff before its entry into the City's storm drain system. <br />For some lots or portions of lots that cannot drain to the street, localized storm <br />water pollution prevention measures are provided. <br />• A Geologic Hazard Abatement District (GRAD) will be established to inspect the <br />development for erosion, destabilization of slope banks, the functionality of storm <br />drainage systems including detention ponds, and the overall stability of slopes. <br />The GRAD would then take any appropriate action, including landslide repair. <br />The GRAD may also be the owner of the open space parcel. <br />Public Improvements and Trafffc Mitigation <br />With recordation of the first subdivision map, the applicant will pay $1,000,000 to the <br />City for in-lieu Traffic Impact Fees (TIF). These funds would be applied to the <br />construction of development-specific traffic improvements and the construction of traffic <br />calming measures on Hearst Drive. The applicant is also required to separately pay the <br />Tri-Valley Transportation Development (regional traffic) fees. <br />Affordable Housing Agreement <br />To meet the City's Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance requirements, the applicant would <br />provide 20 affordable units at an off-site location which has yet to be determined, or <br />Page 7 of 27 <br />
