ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT 16730 - DIVERSIFIED PACIFIC
HOMES. LTD. - A proposed single family residential subdivision consisting of 28 lots on 6.66 acres of land
in the Low Medium Residential District (4-8 dwelling units per acre) located at the northwest comer of Beryl
and Mignonette Streets - APN: 202-741-60 and 61 Related File: Tree Removal Permit 96-08.
Design Parameters:
The vacant site is bounded by single family residential development to the north, south and west. To the east,
across Beryl Street, is a vacant parcel zoned for single family residential development. Four mature
Eucalyptus trees exist along the frontage of Beryl Street which are proposed to be removed in conjunction
with frontage improvements to Beryl Street. Agate Street exists as a north/south stub street off the main
east/west spine street, Hamilton Street, within the residential development north of the site. A fairly
significant slope has been created along the northern boundary of the site with development of the homes to
the north. The site slopes from north to south at roughly 4 percent.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion.
Major Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this
project:
1. As currently designed, the subdivision is a series of four cul-de-sac streets with 7 lots fronting
onto east cul-de-sac. No emergency secondary emergency vehicular access is proposed with the current
subdivision configuration. As stated earlier. Agate Street exists as a stub street north of the site. In
being a stub street, it was always intended that Agate would continue south to connect with Mignonette
Street to provide a secondary means of vehicular access for not only the proposed subdivision, but also
the Hamilton Ranch project south of the proposed project. In a Pre-Application Workshop of the
Planning Commission on August 30, 1996, the Commission directed the applicant to continue Agate
Street southerly to connect with Mignonette Street per staff's recommendation. Since that time, staff
has attended two neighborhood meetings regarding the project and majority of the residents of
Hamilton Street expressed a preference to either leave Agate Street as a stub street or have it vacated.
However, staff would still recommend that Agate Street be continued southward to connect with
Mignonette Street in order to provide a second means of access for public safety and emergency
purposes.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will
discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. None at this time. Secondary design issues associated with the design review aspect of this application
will be considered by the Committee at a later date.
Police Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated
into the project design without discussion:
1. None at this time. Policy issues related to the design review application will be considered at a later
date.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the subdivision be redesigned to connect the stub of Agate Street with Nlignonette
Street and then brought back for further review of the Design Review Committee.

Design Review Committee Action:
Nlembers Present: Heinz Lumpp, Larry Henderson
Staff Planner: Steve Hayes
The Design Review Committee recommended conditional approval of the project as presented, since it
appears that issues relating to public safety and general circulation have been resolved and mitigated to the
satisfaction of staff and found the design not to be inconsistent with City policy regarding access. However,
it was further recommended that staff secure written approval from the Fire District relative to the satisfactory
compliance with all property and life safety concerns.
