areas. As conditioned, the applicant would amend the easement by preparing and recording a metes and bounds description of the building envelops, and would then stake the areas with brass property corners/hubs in the field. Fees Ruby Hill development, including the subject site, is not part of the Vineyard A venue Corridor Specific Plan area. By prior development agreement, the proposed development is not subject to the Citywide and area wide traffic mitigation fees. Except for sewage fees, which would be paid to the City of Livermore, the applicant would be required to pay all other required City fees for this development. A condition of approval has addressed this issue. Site Design The proposed location is a result of two Ruby Hill HOA meetings. The original proposal showed a cluster design where the event center would form a campus environment with the existing residence and the accessory buildings. The proposal was rejected by nearby residents due to concerns of noise, lighting, and parking. The proposed location shows the event center and winery located near the intersection of Vineyard A venue and Isabel Avenue, which would be furthest away from the residential uses. This site selection not only responds to the neighbors' concerns, it also corresponds to the new commercial building on the opposite corner of Vineyard and Isabel in Livermore. Staff and the applicant have paid careful attention to the location of the building with respects to Route 84 Expressway Widening Project (Isabel Avenue) that the City of Livermore is sponsoring as well as the views towards Vineyard A venue/Isabel Avenue. In discussion of the proposed location with URS Corp., project consultant for the City of Livermore, the proposed building location would not be affected by the Route 84 Expressway Widening Project as the building print does not encroach further beyond the existing Piemonte Drive. Once the roadwork is complete, the view of the event center and the winery from both Vineyard A venue and Isabel A venue would be striking - motorists would see vineyards wrap around the building, a driveway lined with trees and decorative columns provide a direct access to the fountain plaza, then to the main entrance of the facility. In the far corner of the site are the original residence and the barn building nesting among matured oak trees. Parking and Circulation The Parking Ordinance does not have a specific parking ratio for an event center; however, for facilities such as auditoriums, community centers, etc, it requires one parking space for each six PUD-93-02-08M/PCUP-181 Planning Commission Page - 5 -
