ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2006-00892 - WESTERN STATES DEVELOPMENT - A request to develop 10 single-family residences on 2.975 acres of land in the Low Residential District (2-4 dwellings per acre), located at the southwest corner of Beryl Street and 19th Street - APN: 0202-461-62, -63, -65. Related Files: Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17769, Minor Exception DRC2008-00157 and Tree Removal Permit DRC2007-00457. Site Characteristics: The 2.975 acre site is comprised of three parcels and slopes roughly from north to south. The site currently has two residences situated on it. One will be demolished with the development of the site and the other has been designated an historic landmark and is being used as an office and will be preserved in place (Lot 11). Existing churches are located across 19th Street and Beryl Street. A synagogue has been approved to be developed on the vacant parcel to the west of the site. Existing single-family residences are located on all of the parcels to the south of the site. Proiect Overview: The applicant proposes constructing 10 single-family dwelling units on-site. The proposed density of the project will be 3.7 dwelling units per acre, which is in the upper range of the Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre). The project consists of three floor plans ranging in size from 2,098 to 3,051 square feet. The project will have two single-story units and 8 two-story units. Plan 1 is a single-story unit and will have.two different elevations. Plans 2 and 3 are two-story units. Plan 2 will have four different elevations and Plan 3 will have three different elevations. The project was designed to conform to the development requirements outlined in the Development Code for the Low Development District including lot dimensions, building setbacks, lot coverage, and building heights. Concurrent with the Development Review application is Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17769. The Tract Map proposes 11 lots with the existing historic house located on Lot 11. The lot sizes range from 7,448 to 11,897 square feet and average 9,570 square feet, above the 8,000 square foot average lot size requirement and the 7,200 square foot minimum lot size requirement. Staff Comments: Staff is pleased with the progress the project has made and feels that the proposed infill development will compliment the surrounding neighborhood in which it is located. Eight of the houses will front onto a new cul-de-sac and two will front onto Beryl Street. The historic residence will retain its prominent location on the corner and will be updated with a new parking lot, landscaping, and decorative property line walls. The new houses will have nine different elevations, of which only one elevation will be repeated (to be located on different streets). The roof and wall planes of each model have been articulated and decorative elements have been carried around to all elevations. These decorative elements include the use of wood, rock and brick veneers, architectural window surrounds, wrought iron, and matching garage and entry doors. The overall effect is a group of houses that compliment each other and fit well into their surroundings. Maior Issues: None. DRC ACTION AGENDA SUBTT17769 AND DRC2006-00892 April 15, 2008 Page 2 Secondary Issues: Staff feels that the front entry on Model 3 is out of scale to rest of the house and should be reduced in size. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee approve the project with consideration given to the front entry on Model 3. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Fletcher, Munoz, Nicholson Staff Planner: Tabe van der Zwagg The Committee recommended that the project move forward to the Planning Commission with the following changes: 1. Modify the roof color on each model to two shades of a similar color. 2. Exchange the wood siding on Model 3A for either stack stone or brick. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:20 p.m. Tabe van der Zwagg April 15, 2008 MODIFICATION OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2008-00260 - CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES - A request to modify Development Review DRC2005-00810 in order to retain two buildings on a 5-acre site that were to be demolished and replaced with a courtyard under the original approval in the Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling units per acre), located at 9135 Banyan Street - APN: 1062-381-01. Background: On April 12, 2006, the Planning Commission approved plans to construct a new 19,000 square foot pastoral center building and outdoor courtyard/meditation garden for St. Peter & St. Paul Catholic Church at 9135 Banyan Street. Since then, the Church has been actively raising funds and has just recently begun construction of the project. As part of the approved plan, three existing small accessory buildings, including the existing parish offices, were to be removed to accommodate the project. In February of 2008, staff was contacted by the applicant who indicated the desire to retain two of the three buildings that were slated for demolition. In a letter dated February 18, 2008, Pastor Patrick Kirsch outlined the churches reasoning for retaining the two buildings. The letter stated that they would like to use the parish building for employee offices and the education building for storage. The church currently uses portable buildings for storage. They originally planned to move the stored material to an off-site storage facility, which would be more costly and make the material less accessible. Pastor Kirsch believes that the proposed changes will reduce traffic to the site because the courtyard would have been used for weddings and other special events. He states that the neighbors voiced concerns over noise from the proposed courtyard in the neighborhood meeting held for the original approval. Additionally, he states that the church has increased the time between services to help reduce parking demand on the site. Staff Comments: The proposed changes will allow the church to have room for additional office staff and to maintain storage on-site. The existing parish and educational buildings are architecturally similar in design to the existing parish hall building and their retention will have minimal effect on the overall aesthetics of the site. The main effect that the changes will have on the approved Master Plan will be a reduction of usable open space. The changes will not increase parking demand during peak use time periods, which are on Saturday evenings and on Sundays. Total parking will be unchanged at 235 spaces. Parking for churches is based on seating capacity of the main sanctuary. The seating capacity of the church is currently at 838 seats, which translates into a requirement of 210 on-site parking spaces. With completion of the pastoral center, there will be 235 on-site parking spaces, 5 over the current parking of 230 spaces. Major Issues: None. Secondary Issues: None. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee approve the proposed changes as submitted. Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Fletcher, Munoz, Nicholson Staff Planner: Tabe van der Zwaag The Committee approved the project as presented. x; DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS April 15, 2008 ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 7:40 p.m. Respectfully submitted, ��KA Corky Ni olson Assistan Planning Director
