I. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission APPROVE the Negative Declaration issued by the Land Use Planning Manage ADOPT Resolution NO. 2307 recommending APPROVAL Of CT 84-74 toe City Council based on the findings and subject to th conditions contained therein. 11. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND The applicant requests approval of a 377 unit tentative tra map and planned unit development located as described above The proposed project will be located on a 120.7 acre site a have a density of 3.12 du/ac. general plan range designated on this site of 0-4 du/ac. T site consists of a rather steep hillside, a portion of whic being used for agriculture. The properties to the east and have been developed with single family homes while the properties to the north and south are vacant. The applicant proposes to develop this project with three This density is within the product types : 76 single family detached homes 141 single family detached patio homes 160 townhouse units On May 26, 1982, the Planning Commission approved a 211 uni tentative tract map and planned unit development on this si consisting of 140 duplexes and 71 single family units. At time, a portion of the site was reserved for a future condominium project. The applicant's intent was to transfe density on the site so that the overall density would not e 3.2 du/ac. Such a density transfer is permitted by the gen plan and the proposed overall density of 3.12 du/ac is consistent with the RLM (0-4 du's/acre) designation on the The proposed project will replace the previously approved d units with patio homes. The street system in the single fa portion of this project will remain essentially the same as was on the previously approved project. I 0 0 The applicant is also requesting a variance from the City's Engineering Standards to eliminate a sidewalk on Tamarack AV along the project's frontage from Pontiac Avenue to the project's eastern boundary. 111. ANALYSIS 1) Does the proposed project conform with the developr standards and design criteria of the planned development ordinance? existing single family development to the east and of the site? 2) Will the proposed project be compatible with the 3) Can the proposed variance to the City's Engineerin Standards be justified? Discussion As proposed this project meets the development standards of Planned Development Ordinance. All of the units will have car garages with a minimum area of 400 square feet. This,h provide adequate space to fulfill the storage requirement e as provide parking for two cars. Approximately 37 percent townhouse units will have tandem garages. As the Commissic aware, the City does not give credit for tandem parking. !I the City's requirements, each of the units having tandem ga will have an assigned open parking space within 150 feet of unit. Guest parking will be provided on-street for the sir family residences, many of which are located on single loac streets. Guest parking will be provided in parking bays ar parallel spaces on the private roads and driveways serving townhouse portion of this project. Additional guest parkir be available behind the garages, all of which will be setb, least 20 feet from the back of sidewalk or edge of pavemen' All of the units, including the townhouse units, will have private rear or sideyard with a minimum dimension of 15 fec Many of the single family homes will have rear yards that significantly larger. In addition, a large, flat grassy p area will be provided in the easterly portion of the projel The townhouse portion of the project will have four common recreation areas. The centrally located active area will swimming pool, spa, deck, restrooms, barbeque facilities a tot lot. Three other passive recreation areas will be pro including tot lots, benches, barbeques and other passive facilities. The applicant proposes to provide recreational vehicle stc underneath the SDGQE easement adjacent to the southwest PC of the project. This area will be fenced and screened per Planned Development Ordinance. The applicant has received letter from the San Diego Gas and Electric Company grantir permission for the proposed recreational vehicle storage d within the easement. -2- r 0 0 The applicant Proposes to construct a temporary secondary a from the townhouse portion of the project to Sierra Morena Avenue, a8 shown on Exhibit "A". This temporary access is proposed to comply with the CityIs cul-de-sac policy which requires a secondary access for projects with 50 units or ml This temporary access will not be constructed if Pontiac Dr is connected to its northerly terminus prior to occupancy o 50th unit in this project. ~f this access is constructed i will be removed when Pontiac Drive is extended to the north All other standards of the Planned Development Ordinance ar by this project. Design Criteria As proposed, this project conforms with the design criteria the Planned Development Ordinance. The proposed project ie located on a rather steep hillside, The applicant has take advantage of this topography to step the street system dowr hillside. Most of these streets will be single loaded so t majority of the single family and townhouse units will haw views. Wherever possible, curvilinear streets have been utilized to create an interesting streetscape. The long slopes adjacent to Tamarack Avenue and the SDG6E easement will undulate and be heavily landscaped to breakul their appearance. Two large slope areas near the intersect of "Bn Street and Pontiac Drive will be flattened and recej special landscape treatment to reduce their dominance. Compatibility Staff initially had some concerns about the compatibility project with existing single family homes to the east and especially the townhouse area. However, a minimum distanc single family units and this area includes a valley that i occupied by a San Diego Gas and Electric powerline easemen With added heavy landscaping, staff believes that the unit not be incompatible with the single family homes to the we Engineering Variance The applicant is also requesting a variance to the City's Engineering standards to eliminate sidewalks along the Tan Avenue frontage of this project. The applicant believes t this variance is justified because there is no sidewalk a1 this side of Tamarack Avenue extending from the properties northeasterly boundary to Elm Avenue. 240 feet separates the proposed townhouse units and the ex -3- 0 e Staff believes that the applicant should be required to pro a sidewalk along Tamarack Avenue adjacent to his property because the developers of the properties to the east will b required to install sidewalks on Tamarack Avenue. A contin sidewalk, therefore, would be provided between El Camino Re the park site in Calavera Hills. The granting of this vari would remove a needed link to this sidewalk. In conclusion, staff believes that the proposed project com with the development standards and design criteria of the Planned Development Ordinance and will be compatible with existing development to the east and west. Staff believes there is no justification for a variance to the City's Engineering standards. Therefore, staff recommends approva CT 84-14/PUD-69 as conditioned, and denial of the applicant variance request. IV .
