HD.gH Kjj^ riTY ATTY W/23 CITY MGR^23£r o oo RECOMMENDED ACTION: Both the Planning Staff and Planning Commission recommend that this application be APPROVED and that the City Attorney be di- rected to prepare documents APPROVING CT 81-13/PUD-25, per Plan- ning Commission Resolution Nos. 1873 and 1874. ITEM EXPLANATION This item is a request for a 3 unit tentative tract map and planned unit development on 1.72 acres of land located as des- cribed above. The subject property has three different zones: P-C (Planned Community) on the eastern portion; R-A- 10,000 on the middle portion; and R-l-15,000 on the extreme western por- tion. The applicant is using the PUD process to develop the pro- perty into three lots since no development standards are established in the P-C zone. The Planning Commission found this project to meet all require- ments of the underlying zones, the Subdivision Ordinance and the Planned Unit Development Ordinance as it applies to the portion of the property zoned P-C. Also, the Commission found that the proposed density of 1.72 du's/acre does not exceed that allowed by the General Plan on this site. Through staff review and Planning Commission hearing, all issues on this matter have been satisfactorily resolved. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Planning Director has determined that this project will not cause any significant environmental impacts and, therefore, has issued a Negative Declaration, dated May 1, 1981, which was ap- proved by the Planning Commission on October 14, 1981. A copy of the environmental documents is on file in the Planning Depart- ment. FISCAL IMPACTS The applicant will provide all required public improvements to the project. Also, the applicant has agreed to pay a public facilities fee to offset the costs of providing all other public services. EXHIBITS A. Planning Commission Resolution Nos. 1873 and 1874 B.

The property is located in 3 different zones. The eastern majority of the property is in the P-C zone, the middle, the R-A-10,000 zone, and a small western section is located in the R-1-15,000 zone. I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND The applicant requests a 3-unit Tentative Tract Map and Planned Unit Development on 1.72 acres of land as described above. The applicant's intent is to subdivide the property and sell each lot in an undeveloped state, allowing new owners to build custom homes on them. Since the P-C zone does not have specific development standards, the Planned Unit Development process is used as a tool to provide standards for parcels zoned P-C which are less than 100 acres in size. It should be noted that certain development standards of the Planned Unit Development Ordinance (i.e., common recreation areas, etc.) need not apply to non-conforming (under 100 acre) parcels within the P-C zone. The proposed project is a normal, single-family subdivision, not a true Planned Unit Development, that meets the requirements of the R-1 zone. Staff, through previous Planning Commission action (CT 80-1/PUD-14), finds this acceptable. II. ANALYSIS PIanning Is sue s 1) Is the proposed subdivision comprehensively designed and compatible with surrounding developments? 2) Does the proposed subdivision meet all development standards of the Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance? III. DISCUSSION The proposed 3-unit/lot subdivision has been designed to take access off of future High Ridge Avenue, a street developed in connection with approved CT 76-15. Lots along this street will be single-family in nature and compatible with the three lots requested in this subdivision. No access will be allowed from Tamarack Avenue. Staff had some concern with regard to the EXHIBIT B amount of grading required to create building pads. A total of approximately 16,300 cubic yards of fill will take place on the site. To mitigate this concern, staff recommends the inclusion of a condition requiring the immediate planting of all slopes after grading. Since the grading will be consistent with that proposed for CT 76-15 and other projects in the vicinity, staff feels it is acceptable and that it will not create substantial adverse impacts to the site. The proposed subdivision meets the development standards and requirements as each lot has a substantial open area for private recreation and vehicle storage. This subdivision conforms to all the requirements of R-1 zoning and the Subdivision Ordinance. IV. ENVIRONMENTAL•REVIEW The Planning Director has determined that this project will not have a significant impact upon the environment and, therefore, has issued a Negative Declaration, dated May 1, 1981. V. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission APPROVE the Negative Declaration issued by the Planning Director and ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution Nos: 1873 and 1874, recommending APPROVAL of CT 81-13/PUD-25, to the City Council based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.
