structures replies to the owners' requests on adjacent properties. The applicant concurs with these changes. Land Transfer to Palmer Drive Neighbors Ponderosa will transfer lO-feet of land from the Lehman-Selway property to the seven adjoining Palmer Drive neighbors including Cain (2033 Palmer Drive, 946-4573-149), Hatch (2017 Palmer Drive, 946-4573-148), Luce (2081 Palmer Drive), Reedy (2101 Palmer Drive), Strother (2119 Palmer Drive), Takahashi (2049 Palmer Drive), and Worsey (2065 Palmer Drive). In the event that these Palmer Drive homeowners accept the lO-foot land transfer to their rear yards, this area will be zoned PUD - MDR, matching the zoning of the Palmer Drive properties, and will be incorporated into the zoning regulations of the Palmer Drive sites. The project de- veloper will process lot line adjustments to add this strip of land to each lot resulting in a single parcel. The land transfer must be entirely agreed to by these owners prior to the City Council's approval of the final subdivision map, thereby providing a continuous property line between their properties and the proposed development. Otherwise, this property will remain with the Ponderosa Lots 4 through 9. Building Design Staff considers the proposed building designs to be proportioned, designed, and detailed featur- ing a significant degree of variation in the building footprint. Staff has also received neighbor comments supporting the proposed building designs. Staff's general comment is that the degree of material variation and design detailing on the front elevation be applied to the rear and side building elevations thereby achieving a four-sided building design. Staff's comment is reflected as a draft condition of approval. The applicant concurs with this requirement. Plan Three is Ponderosa's only two-story plan and will be located primarily on the interior lots. Although the distribution for Lots 10 through 18 is shown on the proposed development plan, the applicant has requested the flexibility of developing these lots with either one- or two-story models based on customer preference. Staff concurs with the applicant's request and has drafted an applicable condition. Green Building Measures/Photovoltaic System Readiness The homes covered by this approval shall be covered by the recently adopted Green Building Ordinance, which establishes a minimum of 50 points for a home to be determined to be a "green home" with a minimum of 10 points in each category (Resources, Energy, and IAQ/ Health). As required by the ordinance, the applicant would submit a proposed checklist showing which measures are incorporated in the design of the proposed home addition/remodeling in or- der to meet this proposed 50 point goal. Staff has required the submittal of this checklist with the tentative subdivision map application. Both City and ACWMA staff are available to provide Item 6.e., PUD-50 Page 22 of 29 June 28, 2006
