Design Parameters: The 23-acre site is surrounded to the north by a flood control basin (Day Creek), to the south by an abandoned lumber yard, to the east by Edison right-of-way and the Day Creek Channel, to the northwest by Rancho Cucamonga High school, and to the west by single family homes. Victoria Park Lane will be improved along the northern frontage of the site and access to project will be taken off VPL to the north _ and Rochester Avenue to the west. Two landscaped pedestrian"paseos" are proposed to connect internal public streets with Victoria Park Lane and there is provision for future access to eventual regional trail within Edison/Day Creek right-of-way. Three floor plans are proposed ranging in size from 1,'333 square feet to 1,811 square feet, each with three elevation styles. All corner lots were plotted with one-story homes, except for Lot 43. The average lot size is proposed to be 6,420 square feet. The homes will have almost 6-foot deep porches/courtyards adjacent to the front door. Forty of the 121 lots (33 percent) will be recreational vehicle accessible, consistent with the Victoria Community Plan. 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.

Provide minimum 1-foot offset in connecting walls between homes. Wall color changes from lot to lot should occur at interior comer of offset. 2. Change precision block wall along east boundary of site to tan slump block consistent with established theme in Victoria and to match other walls within this tract.
