PUD-138 and Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map 8616 Planning Commission 19 of 28 opportunity to design a home that meets the semi-rural character of the Happy Valley area. The proposed design guidelines require material selection and colors to be appropriate for the building’s architectural style. ▪ Massing, Volume, and Bulk In order to maintain views of the hills beyond, the design guidelines encourage articulated, additive forms of varied heights. The design guidelines further encourage architectural elements, such as covered porches at entries and patios, entry alcoves, bay windows, to be incorporated into the design. The design guidelines require the following to emphasize massing and bulking issues: ¤ Maximum width of the building’s front elevation will be limited to 50% of the lot width. ¤ For two-story structures, the second floor portion of the building should be recessed from the first-floor building plane and should not exceed 40% of the building footprint. ¤ Each elevation shall be composed with inset or projecting elements so as no portion shall be a continuous single plane exceeding 40% of the total length. ¤ Proposed building height would be measured vertically from the lowest finished grade to the top of the roof ridge, excluding chimneys. ▪ Driveways and Parking Shared driveways are proposed for all lots except for Lots 13-15 accessed from Westbridge Lane. To maintain the rural appearance of the general area, Spotorno Ranch Drive is proposed to have no parking along the public right of way. The primary residence on each lot would be required to provide a minimum three car garage and/or covered carport screened from public view. Each ADU would be required to provide a minimum of a single car garage and/or covered carport. Individual lots will require, in addition to garage space, a minimum of four off-street visitor parking spaces with ample on site turn around space, so as to avoid the need for vehicles to back out onto the public right of way. The design guidelines do not have specific requirement s for driveway material. To reduce impervious surfaces, staff recommends the guidelines encourage the use of permeable paving, pavers or brick laid on sand, etc. for driveways and uncovered parking spaces. ▪ Landscaping The HVSP encourages substantial landscape planting along with other soft surface landscaping between the structures and front roadways. Landscape on each lot would be designed, planted, and maintained by the respective homeowner. Planting along the street and in Parcels A and B are proposed as part of the project. This will be installed as part of the project’s improvements and maintained by the HOA. The design guidelines require planting material to meet the City’s Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance. Additionally, the design guidelines include the following recommended plantings:
