P24-0720, 0 Vineyard Ave Planning Commission <br />2 of 7 <br />EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br />The applicant, Trumark Homes, has submitted a General Plan Amendment application to allow <br />for the required 3-acre park/open space to be split into more than one park/open space area <br />within the 10.64-acre site. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward a <br />recommendation of approval to the City Council. <br /> <br />SITE AND AREA DESCRIPTION <br />The subject site is a relatively flat, approximately 10.64-acre parcel located on the south side <br />of Vineyard Avenue (Figure 1). It is surrounded by rural density, large single-family residential <br />homes and vineyards to the east and west. The City’s boundary is on the north side of <br />Vineyard Avenue and the CEMEX concrete plant, drainage ponds, and EBRPD’s Shadow <br />Cliffs facility is to the north and northwest of the site. <br /> <br />The Old Vineyard Avenue walking and biking trail is to the south of the site. Thiessen Street <br />and Manoir Lane abut the site to the east and west, with both streets ending in roundabouts at <br />Old Vineyard Avenue Trail. There is a narrow (single-lane) road at the southern end of the site, <br />paralleling the trail, intended for school-related vehicles to loop around the site. <br /> <br />The subject site has a General Plan land use designation of Community Facilities Elementary <br />School; it was designated with a Housing Element Site Overlay (HESO) as part of the 6th Cycle <br />Housing Element, and is referred to as Area 27 in the Housing Element. The site is also within <br />the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan area; is zoned Planned Unit Development – <br />Elementary School (PUD-Elementary School), with a Housing Opportunity Zone (HOZ) <br />overlay. <br /> <br />Figure 1: Aerial Photograph <br /> <br />N <br /> <br />0 Vineyard Ave <br />Subject Site
