FISCAL IMPACT
The increased need for city capital facilities resulting from
development will be offset by the payment of the public facil fee. Any capital facilities related directly to this develop: will be constructed and paid for by the developer.
Increased operating expenses related to this development will offset to some extent from increased tax or fee revenue gener
by the development. No detailed economic impact analysis of
development has been conducted at this time so predictions of
portion of operating expenses covered by additional operating
revenue created as a result of this project cannot be made.

TO : PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: CT 83-21(A)/PUD-57(A) - PACIFIC SCENE (TREETOPS
UNLIMITED) - Request for an amendment to Phase 4 of a previously approved 406 unit tentative tract map and planned unit development in Villages 0 & P-1 in the
northerly portion of the Calavera Hills Master Plan are in the P-C zone.
I. RECOMMEND AT ION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Resolution No. 2513 recommending APPROVAL of CT 8-=A)/PUD-57 (A) to the City Council based on the findings and subject to the conditions
contained therein.
11. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The applicant is requesting an amendment to Phase 4 of CT 83-
21/PUD-57 which was approved by the Planning Commission in
November, 1983. This project consisted of 406 units on a 104 acre site with a density of 3.86 du/ac. The project was divide1 into four phases with three product types, duplexes in Phase 1,
single family in Phases 2 and 3 and four-plexes in Phase 4. Th
original approval allowed 184 four-plex units in Phase 4 (see Exhibit "Y"). The applicant would now like to change the produ type in Phase 4 from four-Flexes to duplexes.
revision would eliminate 54 units. This change would lower the
tentative map's density from 3.86 to 3.35 du/ac.
This project was originally conditioned to provide a second access by extending Tamarack Avenue to College Avenue. This condition was placed on the tentative map when the adjacent
property owner, Cesco, was actively processing projects on the properties to the east. These maps would have put in
College Avenue, Tamarack Avenue and Elm Avenue. The adjacent
property owner is no longer actively processing development proposals on his holdings. This had caused some problems for Pacific Scene since the condition of approval required a seconc point of access prior to occupancy of any units in Phases 2,

111. ANALYSIS
1) Is the proposed project consistent with the Calavera Hills
2) Does the proposed project conform to the development
Master Plan?
standards and design criteria of the Planned Development Ordinance?
3) Can the proposed revision be justified?
4) Is it acceptable to have units backing out onto Harwich
Drive, the second access road to this portion of the Calavera Hills Master Plan?
DISCUSSION
As proposed, the project is in conformance with the Calavera
Hills Master Plan. Villages 0 and P-1 are designated for development with clustered single family and clustered multi-
family units with a maximum of 416 units. Staff believes that
combination of 352 single family and duplex units complies with
this requirement. All affected units will meet or exceed the
required 30 foot setback from Tamarack Avenue.
Development Standards and Design Criteria
This project complies with the development standards of the Planned Development Ordinance. All of the units will have garages with a minimum dimension of 20 feet. This will provide
room for two cars as well as adequate storage space to meet the storage requirements of the Planned Development Ordinance. All
of the units will have a rear yard with a minimum dimension of feet. Many will have substantially larger rear yards.
Several passive common recreation areas consisting of flat gras areas will be provided. A fairly large irregularly shaped gras area will be provided at the intersection of "C" and "D" street Staff believes that this area would be more usable if Units 57 and 58 were eliminated. This would provide a more regularly shaped play area approximately 30,000 square feet in size. Sta believes that this modification is justified since the applican is not proposing any active recreation facilities in this proje and the other common recreation facilities are small passive areas.
Although substantial guest parking is available on the public streets serving this project, the Planned Development Ordinance
does not allow credit for guest parking on public streets serving duplex or multi-family projects. To comply with the
guest parking requirements of the Planned Development Ordinance
the applicant has provided several offstreet guest parking areas throughout the project.

As proposed, this project is in conformance with the design criteria of the Planned Development Ordinance, The development has been concentrated on the level, more developable portions o the site-. View corridors have been provided at the ends of the
cul-de-sacs. Wherever possible, setbacks have been varied to
are centrally located and readily accessible to all units.
Staff believes that the proposed revision can be justified and
will result in a better project, As mentioned previously, the proposed revision will eliminate 54 units and reduce density ir this portion of the master plan. The proposed duplex units wil
be substantially larger than the previously approved four-plex units, The four-plex units ranged in size from 980-1,447 squar feet. The proposed duplex units will range in size from 1,308-
2,165 square feet in size. The proposed project will be servel
by public streets rather than private driveways. Staff believe
that this will provide quicker emergency access as well as
substantially reducing the maintenance fees paid by the
homeowner's association.
Harwich Drive
The only concern with this project is the 28 units with direct access onto Harwich Drive. Residents of these units will have back out of their driveways onto Harwich Drive which will be serving as a second access to this portion of the Calavera Hill Master Plan area at least on a temporary basis. Due to the amount of traffic carried by collector streets, staff generall: discourages developers from designing units with driveways backing onto collectors. However, due to the shape of this property and the steepness of the topography it would be
difficult to construct this product type without driveways backing onto Harwich Drive.
Staff believes that in this situation it would be acceptable fc
a number of reasons:
create a diversified appearance. The common grassy play areas
1) Only 28 units will have to back out onto Harwich Drivc
2) Harwich Drive will probably carry relatively little traffic since it would be quicker for most residents . use Tamarack Avenue to leave the area.
3) Harwich Drive will have a 60 foot right-of-way with a foot curb-to-curb paving. No parking will be allowed
Harwich Drive, Two extra wide driving lanes and a le turn lane will be provided. This should provide adequate room for residents to safely enter and leave their driveways. In addition, an offstreet guest parking area will be provided.
4) This will be the last phase of the project to be developed. There is a strong possibility that Tamara Avenue will be connected to College Boulevard shortly thereafter, providing a more convenient second access to this portion of the master plan.

5) Harwich Drive could possibly be cul-de-saced in the
future eliminating it as a collector. One of the
-conditions of approval requires the applicant to post i bond for a traffic study that will be completed when
Tamarack Avenue is extended to College Boulevard providingr another access to this area. This study wil:
at the southerly edge of this project when the Tamaracl Avenue connection is made. Part of the conditions of
approval require the applicant to post a bond for the
construction of this cul-de-sac and traffic study if tl traffic report finds that it would be a preferable
situation after another second point of access was
provided to this area.
examine the feasibility of culmde-sacing Harwich Drive
Staff believes that the above mentioned conditions would allow Harwich Drive to provide adequate secondary access to this
portion of the master plan, yet prevent this street from having problems similar to those existing on portions of Tamarack Avenue and Chestnut Avenue in the older parts of the City.
Traffic generated by this project will mainly impact Tamarack
Avenue, Elm Avenue and College Boulevard. At this time, there relatively little congestion in this part of the City other tha
the area adjacent to the Plaza Camino Real shopping center. Th proposed revision which will eliminate approximately 50 units should have an overall beneficial traffic impact in this area.
In conclusion, stlaff believes the proposed revision is in
conformance with the Calavera Hills Master Plan, Planned
Development Ordinance and will result in a better development i
this portion of t'he Calavera Hills Master Plan.
