A-99-4/PD-99-4 - 3 - November 9, 1999 The exterior will consist of stucco walls and a concrete tile hip roof. Architectural enhancements consist of stucco stone veneer, bay windows, build up stucco eve, accent stucco trim, arched windows, wood shutters and sectional garage doors with strip windows. All of the driveways and entry walks will be decorative concrete. The units are offset from each other to mitigate the impact of a continuous building fagade. Bay windows in the dining room and the second floor bedroom on the end units will add a desirable element to the interior of the unit and will also be an interesting design feature to the side elevations facing the surrounding properties. Mail boxes and utility meters will be located under the front entry stairway. Building height is 19 feet to the eave line and 25 feet to the peak of the roof. The height to the midpoint of the roof is 22 feet. A-99-4 Rezoning In conjunction with a planned development, the subject property must be rezoned to residential classification to allow the proposed residential use. In this case, the property is presently zoned P Professional District. The residential zoning classification that is consistent with the density of the project is RM-3000 Multi -Residential district. This is equivalent to the project density of 1 unit per 2835 square feet of land area or 15 units per acre. The recommended zoning is RM- 3000 (PD) Residential Multi -Family Planned Development Overlay District. Vesting Tentative Map Tract 7154 This project will consist of 5 individual parcels each with a townhouse unit. The parcels will vary in width from 25 feet to 32 feet and in depth from 72.5 feet to 100 feet. Lot area will range from 1813 square feet to 3200 square feet. There will be a joint access easement for parcels 4 and 5 for use of the common driveway leading to the respective garages and parking for the two units at the rear. There will be no common area in the development. Each homeowner will be responsible for the maintenance of both the interior and exterior of the unit. Since there is no common area, there will be no homeowners association of dues. Walls and Fences An 8-foot masonry wall is proposed along the side and the rear property lines. The private yards for the units will be enclosed with a 6-foot high wood fence. Vines will be planted on the wall to improve its appearance and reduce its attractiveness for graffiti. Landscaping A preliminary landscape plan has been submitted for the project. It includes a variety of trees, shrubs, groundcover and vines that will grow on the masonry walls. There will also be street trees planted along the Estudillo Avenue frontage of the property per the city street tree standards. Tree sizes are indicated as 15 gallon. Staff is recommending the use of 24-inch box trees including the street trees. The difference in size will make a substantial visual impact from the street. The applicant is also working with the owner of the adjacent single-family home to relandscape the front of her home to match the project. 159
