NEW BUSINESS
A. VICTORIA ARBORS - AMERICAN BEAUTY — A review of the Master Plan for residential
development within a project known as Victoria Arbors.
Brad Buller, City Planner, provided an introduction and explained the purpose of the meeting. He
indicated that the Commissioners had already received a copy of the Master Plan document.
Nancy Fong, Senior Planner, presented the staff report and listed the remaining issues for discussion
and direction from the Commissioners.
Bob Lacoss, the applicant's representative, stated they were willing to work with staff to address
issues identified by staff.
The consensus of the Commission was as follows:
1. Central Spine Street. Change the name to Arbor Lane. Reduce the depth of the left turn lane
as much as needed to be safe. Special streetscape to create a unique boulevard through
increasing the use of hardscape and lawn and closer spacing of trees.
2. Location of Victoria Park Lane trail to Central Spine Street. Directed the applicant to work with
staff to move the trail southerly along the wetland to connect to the Central Spine Street.
3. Directed the applicant to add design criteria and a requirement for master planning of
commercial development adjacent to the winery.
4. Directed the applicant to add language referencing the block south of Church Street, west of
Day Creek and north of Foothill Boulevard to follow the design standards of the future regional
center master plan.
5. Directed applicant to modify the Architectural Guidelines section of the Master Plan as follows:
• Add strong design language to ensure that builders understand the expectations of
following the quality architectural standards of house products.
• Stronger language to require architectural elements.
• 2-story house products with no roof variation should be discouraged.
• Establish a minimum depth (8 feet) and square footage for porches and balconies.
• All houses shall have balconies and porches. Provide a percentage that use courtyards
and trellis instead of porches. Staff suggest 30 percent maximum.
• Add criteria for a hierarchy of fencing design.
• Plot 75% of the houses with alternative garages instead of front-on, with provision to
reduce the percentage to 60 if the front-on garages are architecturally treated.
6. Directed the applicant to work with staff in addressing lot layouts and master planning for
several areas of the tentative tract.
