points. Additionally, the applicant has incorporated practical features into the design of the units <br />on both a whole design approach and an individual occupant/user level. For example, <br />engineering framing would be used on doors and window headers, and units would be features <br />with energy star appliances. The project would have 53 green points. A copy of the Green <br />Building Checklist is attached. <br />Building and Fire Code Compliance <br />The new units would be required to comply with all current Building and Fire Code <br />requirements. The buildings would be equipped with automatic fire suppression systems <br />(sprinklers), as required by the Fire Department. <br />Grading, Stormwater, and Utilities <br />Minor grading would be performed to create building pads. <br />Vegetated swales have been proposed on the site to filter the storm water of pollutants before it <br />enters the storm drain system ultimately discharging into the Arroyo. Stormwater would be <br />directed to the vegetated swales in the setback area along the east property lines. Stormwater <br />from the driveway aisle and other area would be directed to filtration trench located in the <br />driveways. In order to ensure that the proposed drainage system would be adequate to handle <br />the on-site Stormwater run off, staff has included a condition of approval requiring the project <br />engineer provide calculations to ensure that the proposed treatment measures would meet the <br />minimum criteria stated in the ACCWP's NPDES permit. <br />All utilities within the development are required to be underground. Staff has included <br />conditions of approval addressing these two issues. <br />Affordable Units <br />The applicant has voluntarily proposed one of the ten units to be an affordable unit for alow- <br />income level family. The Housing Commission will review the Affordable Housing Agreement <br />on February 21, 2008. <br />Staff commends the applicant's willingness to include the affordability component into the <br />development. The project would result in an addition to the City's stock ofbelow-market <br />housing. <br />Case No. PUD-71 Planning Commission <br />Page - I1 - <br />
