demand/preferred by the real estate market, they reduce resource consumption, and they save the occupants/owners money. At the October 2005 work session, the Planning Commission stated that the structures would need to be "solar ready". Staff has included a condition of approval addressing this issue. Grading, Stormwater, and Utilities There is cut/fill on the lot to create pad areas for the garages. Minor grading would be performed. Vegetated swales have been proposed on the site to filter the storm water of pollutants before it enters the storm drain system ultimately discharging into the Arroyo. Stormwater would be directed to the vegetated swales in the setback area along the west and east property lines. Stormwater from the driveway aisle and other area would be directed to filtration trench located in the driveways. In order to ensure that the proposed drainage system would be adequate to handle the on-site stormwater run off, staff has included a condition of approval requiring the project engineer provide calculations to ensure that the proposed treatment measures would meet the minimum criteria stated in the ACCWP's NPDES permit. Additionally, staff has included conditions requiring the applicant obtain all necessary permits from the Department ofFish & Game, Regional Water Quality Control Board, and the Army Corps of Engineers prior to discharging into Arroyo Del Valle. Birch Creek Drive is a public street. A sidewalk, curb and gutter are on the east of the street, but not along the west side abutting the proposed development. The applicant is thus required to install a sidewalk, curb and gutter, and a streetlight. A condition of approval has included to address this issue. All utilities within the development are required to be underground. Additionally, the applicant is required to install a street light on Birch Creek Drive. Staff has included conditions of approval addressing these two issues. Signage Signage for such a development is important on two levels: 1) it provides visitors the ability to find the location with ease and reduces the opportunities for traffic to be lost in surrounding neighborhoods and 2) it enables life and fire safety response teams to navigate the high-density development and locate a specific unit in a timely manner. The applicant has provided a sign proposal that staff believes has design integrity and is of an appropriate size to serve the public on an informative level. Staff has included as a condition of approval requiring the applicant submit a final sign design to the Planning Director for review and approval. Case No. PUD-49 Planning Commission . Page - 9 -
