DESIGN REVIEW FOR VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT 13890 - GREYSTONE - The design review 'of
building elevations and detailed site plan for 71 lots of a previously approved
vesting tract map consisting of 165 single family lots on 40 acres of land in the
Low Medium Residential District, located north of Highland Avenue, south of
Banyan, west of Deer Creek Channel - APN: 201-271-37, 88 and 89.
Background:
Vesting Tentative Tract 13890 was originally approved by the Planning Commission
on June 8, 1988. At the time of the approval, the applicant (Acacia) proposed
four floor plans each )gith three elevations for all 165 lots. The homes ranged in
size from 1,685 to 2, 162 square feet. A mix of one and two-story elevations was
provided.
Four models were constructed by Homestead Development on Lots 18-21 along the
south tract boundary, but the remainder of the project was never constructed and
was subsequently sold to Greystone Homes. Greystone received Design Review
approval of Phases 1 and 2 (91 lots) by the Planning Commission on September 28,
1992. The majority of these homes have been constructed. The approved product by
Greystone Homes consisted of one and two-story models ranging in size from 1,701
to 2,537 square feet. Four floor plans, each with three elevations were provided.
Design Parameters:
The current submittal for the remaining two phases consists of four floor plans.
Plans 1 and 2 are single story and Plans 3 and 4 are two-story. The homes range
in size from 1 ,715 to 2,638 square feet. Each of the proposed floor plans has
three elevations. The floor plans and elevations are essentially the same as the
original approval. Plans 2 and 3 have minor modifications to the front elevation
and the second story pop-out has been deleted from Plan 4.
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 . Rear elevations of those units backing up or siding onto perimeter streets
should have greater variation in order to create a varied streetscape.
2. More movement should be provided in the footprint of Plan 4; by reinstating
the second story pop-out as originally approved with the previous
application.
3. Driveways should be tapered down to a standard ( 16-17 feet) at the street to
reduce the amount of concrete along the streetscape.

Secondary Issues: Once of all the major issues have been addressed, and time
permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. If possible, some of the houses should be reverse plotted on the lots in
order to pair driveways and provide larger areas for continuously landscaped
front yards.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval with the noted modifications to be added as conditions
of approval.
Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: John Melcher, Dan Coleman
Staff Planner: Beverly Luttrell
The Design Review Committee (Melcher, Coleman) approved the project with the
following conditions:
1. All walls shall be deleted within the front yard setback area.
2. Contrasting color shall be provided on one surface only, of reveals and pop-
outs, rather than on three surfaces as was done in Phase 1 and 2 of the
approved project.
3. Stucco-over detailing shall be provided in all cases.
4. Driveways shall be tapered down to a standard (16-17 feet) at the street to
reduce the amount of concrete along the streetscape.
The project does not need to be reviewed by Planning Commission and may submit for
plan check upon receipt by the City Planner approval letter appeal period.
