• Reimers Drive (off of the Ironwood Drive traffic circle) would provide access to the development. The applicant is proposing a gated development with private streets. Street sections would measure 36-feet wide (curb-to-curb) with parking on both sides of the street except near the entry gates. Sidewalks would be located on both sides of Street "A" from the gated entry to Court "G." Other portions of Street "A" and the secondary streets would have sidewalks on one side of the street. No sidewalks would be provided in the cul-de- sacs. • An emergency vehicle access (EVA) road would connect Court "G" to Sandstone Court in the existing Ironwood development. Ponderosa Homes had previously recorded EVA easements on the two lots at the end of Sandstone Court to accommodate a future EVA, but not general public access/trail. EVAs would also be provided between Court "F" and Street "A," between Court "D" and Street "A," and between Reimers Drive and the City's OSC. A private recreation area with an approximately 4,544-square-foot clubhouse would be located near the center of the development. The clubhouse would contain a club room with kitchen, wine locker, meeting room, office, exercise room, restrooms, and storage areas. Outdoor amenities include a pool, spa, bocce ball court, and covered and uncovered seating areas. Front yard landscaping would be installed for each lot and would be maintained by a homeowners association. IV.

The site's General Plan Land Use Designation of "Public and InstitutionaUMedium Density Residential" reflects this dual land use. The Medium Density Residential General Plan Land Use Designation allows for 2 to 8 dwelling units per acre (DUA) and a midpoint density of 5 DUA. The General Plan indicates that residential projects which propose densities greater than the midpoint should be zoned PUD and contain sufficient public amenities. The proposed medium density residential senior housing development is consistent with the General Plan land use designation for the site. In addition, the proposed density of 4.8 DUA is below the midpoint density and public amenities are not required for this project. The proposed project would also further the following General Plan Programs and Policies: PUD-74 Page - 6 - June 25, 2008
