Troyer, AICP, Planning Director BY: Candyce Burnett, Senior Planner SUBJECT: DRC2010-00724-CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA-REPORT AND DISCUSSION • REGARDING THE PERCENTAGE OF SINGLE-STORY HOMES REQUIRED IN NEW HOME DEVELOPMENTS BACKGROUND: The City currently has an informal practice to require at least 20% of the homes in new single-family development proposals to be single story units. At a recent Design Review Committee meeting, the Committee requested this practice be formalized. The Committee also discussed whether the 20% requirement was appropriate and whether the single-story unit requirement should be incorporated into the Design Guidelines (Section 17.08.090.C. Site Plan Design) of the Development Code. This matter has been referred to the Planning Commission for discussion regarding: (1) whether the 20% single-story home requirement should be formalized, and if so how; and (2) to direct staff to study whether the single-story set-aside should remain at 20%. • RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission should determine if the informal practice of requiring 20% single-story units should be formalized and, if so direct staff to take one of the following actions: 1. Prepare a resolution for adoption by the Planning Commission that would establish a standing policy of requiring a percentage of new single-family residential developments be set aside for single-story home n a 2. Initiate a Development9iattCt Amendment to codify the requirement. 3. If the Commission decides that the single-story set-aside requirement should be formalized, staff also recommends that the Commission direct staff to study whether the single-story set-aside should remain at 20%.
