I . RM-4,000 (Current zoning) Proposed PUD Development Front Yard 30 feet 15 feet Side Yard: 7 feet (one side) East Side: 12 feet for the 16 feet (both sides) building; 7 feet for the paseo West Side: 15 feet for the building; 11.5 feet for paseo Rear Yard: 30 feet 49 feet Building Hei!!ht: 30 feet 40 feet The long, narrow configuration ofthe site has imposed some constraints in site development. The project is further restricted by the creek setback of the Arroyo Del Valle at the rear ofthe site. The applicant proposes a site plan that has units interacting with the streets (Vineyard Avenue and Birch Creek Drive), attempting to create a relationship between the proposed project and the existing neighborhood. In recognizing the existence of the apartment buildings on the adjoining property to the west, the applicant proposes trees and shrubs along the west property line to create a buffer between the existing and the proposed buildings. In response to the Planning Commission's comments at the workshop session, the applicant increased the number of on-site guest parking spaces from the originally proposed nine spaces to a total of 12 spaces. Additionally, the CC&Rs governing the development would include language requiring that garage spaces be used exclusively for parking purposes. In response to Mr. Larry Cannon's comments, the applicant regrouped the units along Birch Creek Drive to create a view corridor when viewed from Birch Creek Drive to the interior buildings. The view corridor is a path lined with landscaping leading from Birch Creek to the landscaping area at the courtyard by Building C and Building D. In response to the residents concern of noise, the applicant decided to eliminate the tot lot. This area would be used for landscaping. Staff, however, sees the opportunity of creating two additional guest parking spaces; thus, bringing the number of the guest parking spaces to 15 spaces to further alleviate the existing parking shortage problem in the neighborhood. A condition of the approval has addressed this issue. Architectural Design The proposed design scheme consists of various wall articulations and material selections. The material pallet for each of the units contains horizontal Hardi-board siding and painted stucco. The detailing and trim of the units are painted wood. There are three (3) color and material schemes proposed at this time. The color and material exhibit portrays the manner in which the schemes will be applied.
