EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The project consists of the subdivision of the approximately 10.64-acre project site, identified by Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 946-4619-1, into 27 residential lots and one lot containing a publicly accessible park (“park lot”). Each residential lot would be developed with a single- family residence, each with a two-car garage and a one-car garage, as well as an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). The proposed project would also include amenities, such as a three-acre publicly accessible, privately maintained park/open space area located in the northern three acres of the project site. The park area would include a gathering space, open play turf area, and tot lot. The Zoning Administrator (ZA) may approve, approve with conditions, or deny the application. As proposed and conditioned, staff believes findings can be made to approve the project, including findings of conformance to all relevant objective design and development standards. In order to meet terms and timing of its purchase agreement with PUSD, the applicant is seeking approval of this project as designed with a single park/open space area but has submitted a revision reflecting an alternative design with the open space split into two area, which is currently being reviewed by staff. BACKGROUND Site Area and Description The subject site is a relatively flat 10.64-acre parcel located on the south side of Vineyard Avenue (Figure 1). It is surrounded by rural density, large single-family residential homes and vineyards to the east and west. The City’s boundary is on the north side of Vineyard Avenue and the CEMEX concrete plant, drainage ponds, and EBRPD’s Shadow Cliffs facility is to the north and northwest of the site. The Old Vineyard Avenue walking and biking trail is to the south of the site. Thiessen Street and Manoir Lane abut the site to the east and west, with both streets ending in roundabouts at Old Vineyard Avenue Trail. There is a narrow (single-lane) road at the southern end of the site, paralleling the trail, which was intended at time of its construction for school-related vehicles to loop around the site.
