On March 10, 2010, a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts was adopted by the Planning Commission for Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18744. The California Environmental Quality Act provides that no further environmental review or Negative Declaration is required for subsequent projects or minor revisions to projects within the scope of the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration. Project Background: Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18744 was approved on March 10, 2010, for the development of 30 single-family residences on 8.85 acres of land. The site is within the Etiwanda North Specific Plan (ENSP) and is surrounded by existing single-family development to the north and east, by a partially developed lot to the west, and by the SR-210 Freeway off ramp to the south. The development will have a single entry point from Stable Falls Avenue. The lots range in size from 7,215 square feet to 19,936 square feet. A freeway sound wall has been approved along the south property line of the project site. Protect Proposal: The applicant is requesting the design review of 30 single-family residences ranging in size from 2,284 square feet to 3,870 square feet. There will be 1 single-story floor plan and 2, two-story floor plans and each floor plan will also be reverse plotted on approximately half of the lots. The project includes 9, single-story plans in compliance with the 25 percent single-story requirement. The project conforms to all the related requirements outlined in the Etiwanda North Specific Plan and the "Day Creek" neighborhood in which the site • is located. The Etiwanda North Specific Plan outlines four primary and three secondary architectural styles that are acceptable for the "Day Creek" neighborhood. The applicant has chosen Bungalow and Country from the primary style list and San Juan from the secondary style list. Staff Comments: Staff is pleased with the project and feels that it fully conforms to intent of the Etiwanda North Specific Plan. Each plan has a recognizable architectural style, carries elements of the chosen style to each elevation and provides articulation to all wall planes. Multiple plans have front porches and courtyards and each plan includes a covered patio on the rear elevation. Staffs only outstanding comments are whether each plan should include sliding/French doors off of the great rooms to the covered patios and whether the lower half of the pop-out on the left elevation of Plan 3 (Bungalow) should be vertical siding or shake siding. Staff finds it visually confusing that each of the plans does not have a door directly to the covered patio. The applicant states that from their experience the customer would rather have a wall to place furniture against than direct access to the covered patio and rear yard. Providing the door as an option may be a potential compromise. Maior Issues: None. Secondary Issues: 1. Whether each of the plans should have sliding/French doors from the great room to the covered patio or to provide the doors as an option. DRC ACTION AGENDA DRC2013-00201 — LENNAR HOMES OF CALIFORNIA July 2, 2013 Page 2 2. Whether the lower half of the pop-out on the left elevation of the Plan 3 (Bungalow) should be horizontal wood siding or shake siding. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee resolve the two minor secondary issues and forward the project to the Planning Commission for final approval. Design Review Committee Action: The Committee recommended approval of the project with the following conditions: 1. Stucco may be utilized on the lower half of the pop-out on the left elevation of Plan 3 (Bungalow) in place of wood siding or shake siding 2. The Floor Plans may remain as is. Sliding/French doors are not required from the great room to the covered patio area. Members Present: Fletcher, Oaxaca, Granger Staff Planner: Tabe van der Zwaag •
