This is a work session to review and provide comments on an application for a Planned United Development to construct an • . approximately 14,510-square-foot single-family residence and an approximately • • • 130-square-foot pool house on an approximately 20-acre site in the Vineyard Avenue ?- Specific Plan Area. The General Plan designation is Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specif c' Plan Area. The zoning is PUD-LDR/HR/OS: Low Density Residential, Hillside . •. ~ • Residential and Open Space Districts. It was formerly known as the site at ' 1630 Vineyard Avenue and is now currently addressed as 5 Tuscany Place. ~-~ ~ • This particular project has been within the Planning Department for some time, and the staff report notes that it goes back to 2003. The applicants have very willingly worked on their application to be able to bring it to the Commission as a work session thus far. It is my understanding that it has gone through various iterations to get here, and we felt it important to get input from the Commission in terms of location, siting, and the various topics that are related to a PUD development plan within the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan Area. There were several attachments that were provided for you with the previous staff report that, I understand, all the Commissioners have in their hands and were able to reference. The applicants most recently did amend their site plan, which provided us an opportunity to revisit some of the comments that were made in the initial staff report. I would like to make a comment about that staff report in that what we tried to do with it is to go through the Specific Plan, since it is quite a lengthy document, and pull from it general concepts and guidelines that maybe appropriate and may not be appropriate in terms of how one could actually interpret the applicability of those design guidelines to this siting of this house.
