areas, while, still maintaining adequate separation from neighboring properties. Staff believes this yard proposal is acceptable and has added a condition of approval that all new structures not shown on Exhibit A, including new accessory structures, adhere to the minimum proposed setbacks shown on Exhibit A, with the following exceptions: • The proposed house and any new addition or accessory structure on Lot 3 shall be located at least 30 feet from the southern back of curb of Clara Lane • "I'he proposed groundwater well structure on Lot 3 shall be relocated to be consistent with the minimum setbacks • Structures for agricultural purposes may be constructed in the open space area on I,ot 3 (this is allowed per the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan) • No modifications shall be made to the driveway leading to Lot I or to the "Y" hammerhead on Lot 1, since the driveway is needed for emergency ingress and egress. Although not clearly shown on the plans, the owner of Lot 3 will own the land behind the southern back of curb of Clara Lane once this is extended. "fhus, as proposed, the house shown on Exhibit A will be setback a minimum of 25 feet from the southern back of curb of Clara Lane. As noted above, staff recommends that the house be set back an additional 5 feet from Clara Lane, in order to substantially comply with the intent of the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan. To accommodate the additional 5 foot setback by Clara Lane, staff believes that the garage on Lot 3 could be slightly relocated to the south and reduced in width by approximately 3 feet. Except as modified above, staff recommends that additions and accessory structures on Lot 1 adhere to the R-1-40,000 Zoning District site development standards, the City's standard regulations for lots 40,000 square feet and greater in size, and that additions on hots 2 and 3 adhere to the R-1-20,000 7,oning District site development standards, the City's standard regulations for lots 20,000 square feet and greater in size. With the exception of the setback and height "requirements", the architecture, grading, and landscaping "requirements" staff mentions in this report are "guidelines" listed in the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan, and thus there is some flexibility in their applicability. For the Planning Commission's information, staff has attached the residential standards and guidelines of the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan (see Exhibit D).
