Hogan, Community Development Director Prepared By: Scott Wolfe, Principal Planner DATE: May 18, 2004 (CC Meeting of 06/02/2004) SUBJECT: Consider An Amendment to Specific Plan No. 95 -02; Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2002 -02, a Request to Amend Chapter 17.74 of the Moorpark Municipal Code Relating to the Development Standards of Specific Plan No. 95 -02; and Residential Planned Development Nos. 2002 -03, -04, and -05, for Construction of a Total of 318 Single - Family Detached Residential Units within Specific Plan No. 95 -02, Located Approximately One - Half Mile North of the Northerly Terminus of Spring Road and Three - Fourths of One Mile East of Walnut Canyon Road, on the Application of Pardee Homes. (Assessor Parcel Numbers: Portions of 500 -0- 270 -07, 500 -0- 270 -19, 500 -0- 270 -20, 512 -0- 160 -54, 512- 0 -160- 55, and 512 -0- 160 -70, 500 -0- 024 -03) BACKGROUND On April 20, 2004, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider a request to approve Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2002 -02 to amend Chapter 17.74 of the Moorpark Municipal Code relating to the development standards of Specific Plan No. 95- 02, as well as, Residential Planned Development Nos. 2002 -03, - 04, and -05, for construction of a total of 318 single - family detached residential units within Specific Plan No. 95 -02. Following the close of the public hearing, the Planning Commission continued the matter, directing staff to return to the Commission on May 4, 2004, with clarifications to the applicant's requests. On May 4, 2004, staff provided the requested clarifications and the Planning Commission recommended approval of the requested amendments to the development standards and Residential Planned Developments to the City Council. 000019 Honorable City Council June 2, 2004 Page 2 DISCUSSION The proposed Specific Plan Amendment and Zoning Ordinance Amendment would change front and side yard setback requirements, parking standards, and architectural treatments for homes within Planning Areas 1 -4. The requests are summarized in this table: * May be reduced to 15' where the living space is closer to the street than the garage door or as approved by the Community Development Director. Habitable area with a setback of less than 20 feet shall be single story, with a maximum roof height of 18 feet. ** May be reduced to 15' where the living space is closer to the street than the garage door, where a garage door faces a side lot line, for a port cochere, or as approved by the Community Development Director.

Each style has three possible color and material schemes. This, along with required front yard setback variations, should provide a sufficient variety to ensure a varied and interesting streetscape. The applicant has provided private recreation areas within the projects in excess of the requirement to do so found in the Specific Plan document. The Specific Plan requires that: "Residential planned development permit areas with single- family lots that have an average size of less than seven thousand (7,000) square feet shall include private recreational amenities such as, but not limited to the following: clubhouse, restrooms, swimming pool and spa, play apparatus, picnic shelter, barbecue area with seating, court game facilities (nonlighted), and multipurpose fields. The types of amenities shall be reviewed and approved with the required residential planned development permit." Under this requirement, only Planning Area 1 would be required to provide private recreational areas, as the average lot sizes in Planning Areas 2 -4 exceed seven thousand (7,000) square feet. However, the applicant is proposing private recreation areas to serve all four planning areas, including two pool facilities: one to serve Planning Areas 1 and 2, and one to serve Planning Areas 3 and 4. It should be noted that staff has changed its recommendation regarding the reduced rear yard setbacks in Planning Area 1. 000021 Honorable City Council June 2, 2004 Page 4 Because the minimum rear yard setback proposed in Planning Area 1 is twenty feet (201), this should remain the setback standard. In addition to this change to the recommendation for the Zoning Ordinance Amendment, staff has also slightly changed a standard condition (No. 5) for each RPD to clarify placement of air conditioning units, and added a new special condition (No. 2) to each RPD to allow for the Community Development Director to resolve any future conflicts between the RPD conditions and the Specific Plan requirements. Detailed descriptions and analysis of the applicant's requests are included in the attached Planning Commission staff reports. STAFF RECOMMENDATION 1. Open the public hearing, take public testimony, and close the public hearing. 2. Adopt Resolution No. 2004- approving an Amendment to Specific Plan No. 95 -02. 3. Introduce Ordinance No. for first reading to approve Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2002 -02. Schedule second reading and adoption for June 16, 2004. 4. Adopt Resolution No. 2004- approving Residential Planned Development Permit Nos. 2002 -03, 2002 -04, and 2002- 05 subject to Conditions of Approval. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

(Assessor Parcel Numbers: Portions of 500 -0- 270 -07, 500 -0- 270 -19, 500 -0- 270 -20, 512 -0- 160 -54, 512 -0- 160 -55, and 512 -0- 160 -70, 500- 0 -024- 03) BACKGROUND In 1995, Morri son- Fount ainwood- Agoura submitted applications for the development of Specific Plan Area No. 2. These applications included the request for approval of the Specific Plan, as well as, a General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, and a Development Agreement. The Specific Plan and accompanying applications were approved on September 15, 1999. Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5045, which included the entire Specific Plan area, was approved on August 2, 2000. In April of 2001, Pardee Homes entered an agreement to purchase the property from Morrison - Fountainwood- Agoura. In February of 2002, Pardee Homes submitted an application for amendments to the Zoning Ordinance and for approval of the Residential Planned Development Permits for Planning Areas 1 -4.

The site is currently vacant. Several types of plant communities previously covered the site until the October 2003, wildfires burnt most of the existing vegetation on the property. The site is generally in a natural state, with only a few utility lines and crude dirt roads crossing the site. Previous Applications: Specific Plan No. 2 was approved in September of 1999. The Specific Plan identified the project area and established overall development patterns for 570 residential units in neighborhoods of varying densities, a public school site, a public park site, numerous areas of public and private open space, and an area set aside as a habitat preserve for the coastal sage scrub community which currently exists on -site. Along with the Specific Plan, Tentative Tract Map No. 5045 was approved, which established the proposed subdivision of the subject property. In December of 2003, the Community Development Director approved a Permit Adjustment for the Tentative Tract 5045, making minor adjustments to the street pattern and slightly reducing the number of residential units within the Specific Plan area to 552. In January of 2004, the City Council approved a Modification to Tentative Tract 5045, allowing the installation of gates to the entries to each of the individual neighborhoods within the Tract, and allowing the private maintenance of neighborhood streets within the Tract.

The individual land use designations within the Specific Plan area serve as the designations of the General Plan Land Use Element would. There are no proposed changes to these designations, nor are there any proposals within the proposed projects which would result in an inconsistency with the Land Use designations. The Specific Plan also adopted development standards, incorporated as a chapter of the Zoning Ordinance, which identified specific requirements for the development of the various Planning Areas within the Specific Plan. The Zoning Ordinance Amendment proposes changes to this chapter of the Municipal Code. The proposed changes are as follows: Plannina Area 1: 1. Allow for increased flexibility in front yard setbacks (with reductions to a minimum of fifteen [15'] feet from the currently required twenty [20'] feet) if the living space is forward of the garage door to produce a more varied streetscape. Additionally, front yard setbacks for any three consecutive lots, shall vary the front setback a minimum of three (3') feet from lot to lot. 2. Rear yard setback is changed from the currently required twenty (201) feet to the standard R -1 setback of fifteen (15') feet. 3. A requirement to give the same architectural treatment to all eave and windows and other features on all sides of a structure, as are found on the front elevation, is proposed to be changed to require the architectural treatment on the sides to be complimentary to the treatments on the front elevation. Planning Areas 2, 3, and 4: 1. Allow for increased flexibility in front yard setbacks (with reductions to a minimum of fifteen [151] feet) if specific architectural features are utilized to produce a more varied streetscape. Approved architectural features would include: • Living space is forward (closer to the street) of the garage door; • swing garages with the opening facing the side lot line; 000025 Honorable Planning Commission April 20, 2004 Page 4 • products that incorporate porte cocheres or other architectural features that screen at least a portion of the garage doors from the street; or • as approved by the Community Development Director. Additionally, front yard setbacks for any three consecutive lots shall vary the setback by a minimum of three (3') feet from lot to lot. 2. Side yard setbacks minimums for all interior lots shall be seven and one -half (7.51) feet with a minimum separation between structures of fifteen (15') feet. This would be an increase in setbacks for lots smaller than 7,000 square feet. 3. An allowance is made for the use of tandem parking (i.e. end to end) for the third space within garages. 4. A requirement to give the same architectural treatment to all eave and windows and other features on all sides of a structure, as are found on the front elevation, is to be changed to require the architectural treatment on the sides to be complimentary to the treatments on the front elevation. 5. Given the recent adoption of Solar Energy Design Standards by the City Council, staff is recommending, although the applicant has not requested, the removal of a prohibition of the placement of solar panels on front elevations visible from public streets. State law pre -empts the City's ability to regulate the placement of these facilities in this manner. Project Summary The proposed Residential Planned Development projects address the architecture and plotting of units for Planning Areas 1, 2, 3, and 4. Planning Areas 5, 8, and 9 will be addressed as future requests.

There are three different plans proposed, with all being two -story units, although Plan 1 appears to be a single - story unit from the street. Plan 1 (a 2,112 square -foot plan) will offer two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with an optional third bedroom in place of a bonus room. Plan 2 (a 2,276 square -foot plan) will offer three bedrooms and two and one -half bathrooms with options for another bathroom and up to two more bedrooms. Plan 3 (a 2,566 square -foot plan) will offer four bedrooms and between two and one -half and four bathrooms. The buildings conform to the maximum building heights within the RPD zone (the tallest unit is a maximum of 2510" high), and the arrangement of homes will be monitored to ensure an open "feel" to the neighborhood with a varied streetscape. Each of the three product types will be built with one of three different architectural vocabularies: Cottage /Craftsman, Italian or Early Californian. Each architectural style will be utilized in at least 250 of the homes to be built. Each architectural style will have three color /material schemes, especially selected to accentuate the style. Between the variety of floor plans with added room options (5), architectural styles (3), and color schemes (3), there will be forty -five (45) combinations available. The ability to reverse floor plans to optimize placement on a lot offers ninety (90) possible configurations of products within a development of 95 units. This should result in a neighborhood of compatible homes but lacking the repetition often found in residential tract homes. Planning Areas 2 & 3 - The proposed homes range in size from 2,609 to 3,116 square feet. There are three different plans proposed, with all being two -story units, although Plan 1 also appears to be a single -story unit from the street. Plan 1 (a 2,609 square -foot plan) will offer three bedrooms and three and one -half bathrooms, with an optional fourth bedroom in place of a loft. Plan 2 (a 2,900 square -foot plan) will offer five bedrooms and three bathrooms. Plan 3 (a 3,116 square -foot plan) will offer five bedrooms and four bathrooms. The buildings conform to the maximum building heights within the RPD zone (the tallest unit is 3011" high at its highest point), and the arrangement of homes will be monitored to ensure an open "feel" to the neighborhood with a varied streetscape. 000027 Honorable Planning Commission April 20, 2004 Page 6 Each of the three product types will be built with one of four different architectural vocabularies: French, Italian, Spanish, or Traditional. Examples of these styles are attached. Each architectural style will be utilized in at least 20% of the homes to be built. Each architectural style will have three color /material schemes, especially selected to accentuate the style. Between the variety of elevations with added room options (4), architectural styles (4), and color schemes (3), there will be forty -eight (48) combinations available. The ability to reverse floor plans to optimize placement on a lot offers ninety -six (96) possible configurations of products within a development of one hundred - forty -five (145) units. This should result in a - neighborhood of compatible homes but lacking the repetition often found in residential tract homes. Planning Area 4 - The proposed homes range in size from 3,083 to 3,763 square feet. There are three different plans proposed, with one being a one -story unit and two being two -story units. Plan 1 (a 3,083 square -foot plan) will offer three bedrooms and three bathrooms, with an optional fourth and fifth bedrooms in place of a den and office. Plan 2 (a 3,554 square -foot plan) will offer three bedrooms and three and one -half bathrooms, with optional fourth bedroom and an additional bath in place of a bonus room, and an optional fifth bedroom in place of an exercise room. Plan 3 (a 3,763 square -foot plan) will offer five bedrooms and four and one - half bathrooms. The buildings conform to the maximum building heights within the RPD zone (the tallest unit is 27110" high at its highest point), and the arrangement of homes will be monitored to ensure an open "feel" to the neighborhood with a varied streetscape. Each of the three product types will be built with one of four different architectural vocabularies: Early Californian, Italian, Traditional, or Monterrey. Examples of these styles are attached. Each architectural style will be utilized in at least 200 of the homes to be built. Each architectural style will have three color /material schemes, especially selected to accentuate the style. Between the variety of elevations with added window elevation options (7), architectural styles (4), and color schemes (3), there will be eighty -four (84) combinations available. The ability to reverse floor plans to optimize placement on a lot offers one - hundred - sixty -eight (168) possible configurations of products within a development of seventy -eight (78) units. This should result in a neighborhood of compatible homes but lacking the repetition often found in residential tract homes. 1111 Honorable Planning Commission April 20, 2004 Page 7 Setbacks: Although the project setbacks meet or exceed the current standards for single - family, detached residential development on all of its lots, except in the case of front yard setbacks, they do not meet the setbacks established for Specific Plan No. 2. Front yard setbacks as proposed are typically at the minimum of twenty (201) feet, although there are instances where the house may extend into the setback area up to a maximum of five (5') feet if certain architectural amenities are provided. The requested Zoning Ordinance Amendment addresses reduction in front, side and rear yard setbacks as established for Specific Plan No 2._ This issue is discussed further in the Analysis section below. Parking: The project proposal meets the minimum requirements for off - street parking, but includes a request for tandem parking within the garage areas. This issue is discussed further in the Analysis section below. Circulation: The project's circulation system is proposed to consist of private streets within a gated community. While meeting City street standards, the use and maintenance of these streets would be limited to residents and invited guests. Automatic gates would restrict access to the project. Access to and from the project would be primarily taken from "A" Street, a proposed public arterial street through the center of the Specific Plan area, which will connect to the future extension of Spring Street as proposed within Specific Plan No. 2. ANALYSIS Issues As the subdivision for this project has been previously approved, many of the issues associated with this development have been resolved. However, the development of the subdivision, including architectural design, building plotting, and other design standards, are appropriately addressed at this stage. Staff analysis of the proposed amended project has identified the following areas for Planning Commission consideration in their recommendation to the City Council: • Reduced Front Yard Setbacks • Reduced Side and Rear Setbacks 000029 Honorable Planning Commission April 20, 2004 Page 8 • Allowance for Tandem Parkin Reduced Front Yard Setbacks: The typical required front yard setbacks within the planning areas of the Specific Plan ranges from a minimum of twenty (201) feet in the areas with small to moderately sized lots, up to thirty -five (35') feet in areas with larger lots. The function of these setbacks is to ensure adequate sight distances from the front yards and driveways entering the street, as well as, to give an open, spacious feel to the neighborhood. Reductions in front yard setback down to a minimum of fifteen (151) feet are proposed to be permitted in the various planning areas with single - family detached homes, provided that the developer provides at least one of a variety of design elements for each lot for which setbacks are to be reduced. These design elements include: • Living space forward of (closer to the street) the garage door; • swing garages of either 900 or 1800, with the entrance facing either the side or rear property lines; • garages in the rear, even if facing forward, such as courtyard style homes; • products that incorporate porte cocheres, detached "casitas" (flex space), or other architectural features that screen garage doors from the street; or • as approved by the Community Development Director. The goal of allowing these reductions in setback is to provide a varied streetscape and to encourage the use of designs which move the parking area further to the rear of the lot or screen the parking area behind the house or as a detached architectural feature. This "cleans up" the visual aspect of the neighborhood by reducing the visibility of parked cars in the neighborhood. As the lot sizes decrease, the design features available to the developer to take advantage of the reduced setback decrease as well, with only the placement of living area forward of the garage door being suitable for the lots in Planning Area 1. In an effort to discourage the appearance of a "flat" streetscape and to avoid the abuse of the provisions allowing for reduced setbacks, the developer will be required to vary the setbacks on homes. Two adjacent homes may have the same setback but the third 000030 Honorable Planning Commission April 20, 2004 Page 9 consecutive lot must vary the front setback by at least three (31) feet. Side and Rear Yard Setbacks: The requests for reductions in side and rear yard are driven more by market demand than by design. The demand for larger homes has prompted Pardee to seek changes to these setbacks. While the requests often result in reduced setbacks, they will frequently also result in an increased setback on an adjacent lot, due to building separation requirements. The goal of these requests is to allow greater flexibility with the placement of houses on the lots, while maintai-ning the desired spaciousness of the neighborhood and avoiding a "solid" or cluttered appearance between homes. A reduction in rear yard setbacks will have the effect of reducing private usable open space. While the reduced setbacks are not out of character with what has been built in the rest of the City, staff wants to ensure that the utility of these rear yard areas for recreational activities is not altogether eliminated. In most cases, the yards will be too small to accommodate a swimming pool. However, other typical backyard activities (child play area, BBQ, spa, etc.) can be undertaken in these areas, even with reduced setbacks. To facilitate these uses and to allow for ease of permit processing for future homeowners, staff has suggested a condition which will require the applicant to provide plans for patio covers for each floor plan. These would be approved before construction, and could be built as an option to the home buyers before they move in or could be added following move -in, eliminating the need of the individual homeowner to develop new plans for submittal and reducing the time necessary for plan check and permit issuance. Allowance for Tandem Parking: Tandem parking is a configuration in which vehicles are parked end to end, rather than side by side. This type of parking is generally not permitted to provide required parking but is occasionally allowed to provide parking space in excess of required minimums. The reason that tandem parking is not generally allowed is that the vehicle in one tandem space cannot move without the removal of the vehicle in the other tandem space. Realistically, this relegates one tandem space to vehicular storage, rather than active parking or requires extra effort and cooperation on the part of the vehicle users. The Specific Plan establishes Municipal Code Chapter 17.32 as the requirements for parking within these planning areas. This chapter requires two garage spaces per single - family residence. The 000031 Honorable Planning Commission April 20, 2004 Page 10 applicant is requesting the allowance for tandem parking within these planning areas to allow for a third parking space, which is beyond the minimum required parking. As this request does not affect the minimum required parking for the project, and instead provides additional space which may be used for parking, staff finds the applicant's request for the allowance of tandem spaces in keeping with the intent of the Moorpark Highlands Specific Plan and the Municipal Code. Findings The following findings are proposed for the Residential Planned Development Permits: 1. The proposed project is consistent with the intent and provisions of the City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, in that the proposed project will provide for the orderly development of land identified in the City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance as appropriate for residential development. 2. The proposed project is compatible with the character of surrounding development, in that the surrounding development will include a variety of single- family detached and possibly attached homes including some homes which are affordable to moderate, low and very low income families. 3. The proposed project would not be obnoxious or harmful or impair the utility of neighboring property or uses, in that the use proposed is similar to uses existing or proposed to the south and west, and access to or utility of those adjacent uses are not hindered by this project. 4. The proposed project would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, in that adequate provision of public access, sanitary services, and emergency services have been ensured prior to the processing of this request. 5. The proposed project is compatible with existing and planned land uses in the general area where the development is to be located, in that the existing and planned land uses in the general area are generally single- family, detached residential uses, recreational uses, and the Waterworks facility, which will be sufficiently separated from this project to avoid impacts. 6. The proposed project is compatible with the scale, visual character and design of the surrounding properties, designed so as to enhance the physical and visual quality of the community, and the structure(s) have design features which provide visual relief and separation between land uses of 000032 Honorable Planning Commission April 20, 2004 Page 11 conflicting character, in that the proposed project complies with all development standards of the Moorpark Municipal Code, and the development will utilize high quality architectural materials and treatments to enhance the visual appeal of the structures to be constructed. PROCESSING TIME LIMITS Time limits have been established for the processing of development projects under the Permit Streamlining Act (Government Code Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 4.5), the Subdivision Map Act (Government Code Title 7, Division 2), and the California Environmental Quality Act Statutes and Guidelines (Public Resources Code Division 13, and California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3). However, since a Zoning Ordinance Amendment accompanying the Residential Planned Development Permits is a legislative act which must be approved before the RPD permits can be approved, the various time limits do not apply to these projects until the Zoning Ordinance Amendment is approved or the applicant revises the applications so that the Amendment is not required to approve the RPD permit requests. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION In accordance with the City's environmental review procedures adopted by resolution, the Community Development Director determines the level of review necessary for a project to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Some projects may be exempt from review based upon a specific category listed in CEQA. Other projects may be exempt under a general rule that environmental review is not necessary where it can be determined that there would be no possibility of significant effect upon the environment. A project which does not qualify for an exemption requires the preparation of an Initial Study to assess the level of potential environmental impacts. Based upon the results of an Initial Study, the Director may determine that a project will not have a significant effect upon the environment. In such a case, a Notice of Intent to Adopt a Negative Declaration or a Mitigated Negative Declaration is prepared. For many projects, a Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration will prove to be sufficient environmental documentation. If the Director determines that a project has the potential for significant adverse impacts and adequate mitigation cannot be readily identified, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is prepared. 000033 Honorable Planning Commission April 20, 2004 Page 12 An Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 96041030) has been prepared and certified for this project. No new information or impacts that require preparation of a new or subsequent EIR have been identified as a result of any proposed modification to the project. The Community Development Director has determined that the projects are consistent with the EIR prepared for Specific Plan No. 2. STAFF RECObMNDATION 1.

At that meeting, the Planning Commission opened the public hearing, accepted testimony from the applicant and the public, and closed the public hearing. The Planning Commission continued consideration of this matter to the meeting of May 4, 2004, directing staff to provide clarification on the requested amendments to the design standards and information on the number of houses proposed with reduced front yard setbacks. DISCUSSION Changes to Design Standards The following table reflects both the existing standard and the proposed amendment for each requested change to the Specific Plan Design standards for Planning Areas 1 -4.

Of particular note is a change in the requested side yard setback standard. At staff's recommendation, the applicant has withdrawn their request for a change to a seven and one -half foot (7.5') 000036 Honorable Planning Commission May 4, 2004 Page 3 setback requirement for six - thousand square foot lots. Instead, the applicant has agreed with staff's recommendation that the side yard setback for all lots within Planning Areas 2, 3, and 4 should have a five (5) foot minimum, with an average of seven and one -half feet (7.5') for each side. This will enable homes on irregularly shaped lots to be moved forward somewhat, allowing for an increase in usable rear yard area. Front Yard Setbacks The following table reflects the layout of lots as currently proposed on the plans before the Commission. Minimum Front Setbacks PA 1 PA 2 PA 3 PA 4 Total No. % No. % No. % 1 No. % No. % 15' 21 22% 6 9% 1 10 13% 30 38% 67 21% 16' 7 7% 2 3% 0 0% 1 1 1 % 10 3% 17' 10 11% 0 0% 0 0% 1 1% 11 3% 18' 18 19% 1 1 % 5 7% 13 17% 37 12% 19' 6 6% 0 0% 0 0% 0 0% 6 2% > 20' 33 37% 60 87% 61 80% 33 42% 187 59% Total 95 100% 69 100% 76 100% 78 1100%1 318 100% It should be noted that many of the above setbacks which lie between fifteen (15) and nineteen (19) feet in the table above, would be permitted under the current standards due to the use of swing (side lot line - facing) garages. Of the six (6) units with less than twenty (20) foot setbacks in Planning Area 2, five (5) of them have swing garage units and would be permitted without the amendment. Of the fifteen (15) units in Planning Area 3, fourteen (14) have swing garages and would be permitted. Of the forty -five (45) units shown in Planning Area 4, eighteen (18) have swing garages, and would be permitted. The higher percentages of units with reduced setbacks in Planning Areas 1 and 4 can be decreased by sliding the units back in many cases.. Many of the reduced setbacks proposed are an ideal situation to increase private usable areas in rear yards and the plotting of many of these units can be adjusted to meet twenty (20') feet in the front yard at the expense of non - required rear yard areas. Further, at least three (3) of the units in Planning Area 4 will need to be moved away from the street to meet the 00003'7 Honorable Planning Commission May 4, 2004 Page 4 "staggering" requirement which is reduction. proposed with the setback In order to reduce the perception of building massing against the street, staff recommends to the Commission the addition of a condition to the Resolutions for Planning Areas 1, 2, and 3. This condition will limit the height of habitable space, with a setback of less than twenty (20) feet to one story, to a maximum height of eighteen (18) feet. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission set the upper limit of units which may be at the fifteen foot (15') minimum setback at twenty -five percent-(25 %). While this will require the re- plotting of a number of lots within Planning Area 4, the applicant indicates that this is feasible. Staff would also recommend that the discretion to determine appropriate setback mixes for the range between sixteen (161) and nineteen (191) feet be given to the Community Development Director. The Community Development Director will be able to balance the need to maintain an open streetscape with the need to maximize private usable open space in the rear yards. Also, as plotting revisions are inevitable through the construction process, this discretion will allow staff the flexibility to make changes and corrections as the project progresses without the need for formal modifications. STAFF RECOMMNDATION Adopt Resolution No. PC -2004- recommending to the City Council conditional approval of Residential Planned Development Permit No. 2002 -03, Residential Planned Development Permit No. 2002 -04, Residential Planned Development Permit No. 2002 -05, and Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2002 -02.
