Page 5 <br />F. Planning Principles <br />The primary principle of the design guidelines and standards is to provide for a high- <br />quality single family residential development with the design, location, and orientation of <br />each dwelling unit to be in harmony with the physical semi-rural features of the land and <br />its surroundings. Through a synthesis of open space allowances, water detention <br />strategies, agricultural cultivation, and the introduction of natural habitat, The Flat at <br />Spotorno Ranch will host a unique system of agricultural community integration. Along <br />with walking trails, wetlands, bio-retention, and historic operating windmill, the project is <br />intended to link existing suburban and simi-rural neighborhood with the remaining <br />working rangeland. <br /> <br />G. Parcels Owned and Maintained by HOA <br />Parcels A and B are owned and maintained by the Home Owner’s Association and <br />access will be made publicly available through proposed trails. <br /> <br />Local Flora options proposed for Parcel B include: Dwarf Coyote Brush, Toyon, <br />California Grey Rush, Seep Monkey Flower, Coffee Berry, Evergreen Current, California <br />Rose. <br /> <br />Residences are encouraged to form local shared composting or combine the <br />composting of organic materials with the existing golf course and surrounding home <br />practices. Depending on the need and to avoid visual, noise and odors, a mutually <br />agreed upon location for composting between future residents and existing land owners <br />with be determined. <br /> <br />H. Allowed Uses: <br />Uses allowed within the development shall be those allowed in the R-1 residential <br />district by the Pleasanton Municipal Code including agricultural uses specified in the <br />City Council Ordinance approving the proposed development (attached). <br /> <br />I. Lots with One-Story Building Restriction <br />Per the Happy Valley Specific Plan, a minimum total of six lots will be limited to one <br />story. To enhance views from Alisal and relate to existing neighboring structures lots 1 <br />& 2, and 19-22 will be limited to 1 story construction. See Rendered Concept Site Plan. <br /> <br />J. Lots with Shared Driveway <br />In order to reduce public right of way conflicts as well as maintain a rural quality to <br />Spotorno Ranch Drive the following lots will share 16 ft wide driveways: Lots 1-2, 3-4, 5- <br />6, 7-8-9, 16-17-18, 19-20, 21-22. To control storm water runoff driveways will be <br />constructed of stable yet permeable materials.
