On January 23, 2013, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was adopted by the Planning Commission for Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18741. 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 a previous Negative Declaration. Design Parameters: The applicant is proposing to construct 53 single-family residences with three foot prints and architectural styles. All three footprints are single-story with floor plans ranging from 3,488 square feet to 4,299 square feet. The site is located at the northwest corner of Wilson Avenue and Wardman Bullock Road. Tentative Tract Map 18741 was approved January 23, 2013, in which two vacant rectangular parcels totaling 40.12 acres of land were divided into 53 single-family residential lots and two lettered lots. The lettered lots are basins for water quality purposes. This project is located within the Very Low Residential District of the Etiwanda North Specific Plan. The site has the flood control basin to the west; single-family residences to the south and east; and to the north partially built single-family homes. The site generally slopes from north to south. The lots in the tract average approximately 25,000 square feet. The lot sizes range from 20,000 square feet to approximately 40,000 square feet. These lots have been changed slightly form the original approval to be able to accommodate the proposed housing product. The project has had some grading elevation changes to reduce the amount of export to 306 cubic yards from the original estimate of over 60,000 cubic yards. Most of these parcels will be equestrian lots and will allocate pads at the rear of the yards for either 24 feet by 24 feet or 12 feet by 48 feet corral space. The footprints of the proposed houses will not allow Lots 2, 3, 4, and 22 to accommodate the distance necessary for corrals. The applicant is proposing to pay the in lieu of fee of $1,000 and record on the deed that these parcels cannot accommodate horse corrals. Access into the housing tract will be accomplished at two points. One point will be off Wardman Bullock Road and the other will be off Wilson Avenue. Both points will include Etiwanda Highlands themed neighborhood entry portals and community walls. The portals at the entry points and the neighborhood monument sign that is located at the northwest corner of Wilson Avenue and Wardman Bullock Road will be wrapped in a brick veneer. The community wall along the perimeter of the site along Wardman Bullock Road and Wilson Avenue will consist of a stuccoed covered block wall with pilasters wrapped in brick veneer spaced every 40 to 60 feet. Both the wall and pilasters will contain concrete caps. • Design Parameters: The project site is located within the "Etiwanda Highlands" neighborhood, which has its own unique architectural design guidelines per the Etiwanda North Specific Plan (ENSP). The ENSP requires that a mix of the following primary architectural styles be used for at least two-thirds of the units: Santa Barbara Revival, Ranch, Monterey, or San Juan. Up to one-third of the units may use these styles: Country, Victorian, or Bungalow. The proposed elevations are consistent with the required architectural styles. These plans provide a large yard area to meet the demand of the current housing market. The project has been designed with • DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE AGENDA DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2013-00018— PULTE HOMES August 6, 2013 Page 2 three floor plans and all the plans have four architectural styles. The proposed architectural styles are San Juan, Santa Barbara, Country, and Ranch. The San Juan elevation incorporates recessed windows, decorative shutters, S concrete tile roofing, and 12-inch stucco rakes and eaves. The Santa Barbara incorporates S tile concrete roofing on low pitched hip roof forms with some gables, stucco finish, shutters, and recessed windows. The Country style incorporates stone veneer elements, flat tile roof with a 6:12 pitch, board and batten elements in the gables. The Ranch style incorporates louvered shutters, recessed windows, accents of siding, and brick veneer. Some of the plans incorporate a modest amount of wall plane articulation, and all plans incorporate decorative garage doors to match the architectural style of the home. Plans one and three have side-on garages that as options can be turned into living space. Plan three has recessed garages that are recessed back approximately 12 feet from habitable living space; as there are 17 of these footprints being plotted in the development, this meets the 30 percent of all houses have side-on or recessed garages. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for the Committee discussion regarding this project. Major Issues: The applicant worked hard with staff to follow the criteria outlined in the Development Code. There are no major design issues regarding this project at this time. The only issue is the remaining payment of the in lieu equestrian fee for four lots: 1. Require Lots 2, 3, 4, and 22 to pay equestrian in lieu fee of $1,000 per lot that does not meet the required 70-foot distance from the neighboring residences. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: There are no secondary issues regarding this project at this time. 1. None at this time. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: 1. Pilasters shall be constructed at the corners of each lot and at the access gates. 2. All coach lights will match the architectural style and that light design will be carried to all exterior lighting fixtures. 3. Provide a panel door for each garage man doors leading to the exterior of the residence. Staff recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee recommend approval of this application to the Planning Commission with proposed recommendations.

On October 22, 2003, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was adopted by the Planning Commission for Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16320. 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 a previous Negative Declaration. Design Parameters: The applicant is proposing to construct 6 single-family residences utilizing two floor plans. One plan is a single-story with a floor plan totaling 4,080 square feet, and the second is a two-story with a floor plan totaling 4,721 square feet. The area of the six parcels is 3.3 acres of land. The site is located on Rocky Mountain Court between Woodridge Drive and Vista Grove Street. The site is located within the Very Low Residential Zoning District. The site was originally subdivided under Tract Map 16320 on October 22, 2003, as a 7-lot subdivision, and the lots were sold off individually. Frontier homes have acquired six lots. The Development Code requires 5 to 10 dwellings to have at least three floor plans and two elevation styles. The project proposal has four floor Plans (with reverse footprints) as additional plans. The two proposed elevation styles are Country and San Juan. The styles are consistent with the development throughout the City. The Country elevations consist of stone veneer, flat tile roofing, 4:12 and 6:12 roof pitches, siding at the ends of the gables, pot shelves, shutters, and a small front porch and court yard which has a trellis entry point. The San Juan elevations consist of concrete "S" tile, 4:12 roof pitch, exposed rafters at prominent areas, shutters, iron work, and the slight use of brick on the front courtyard wall. All homes will have decorative garage doors and raised panel doors at the front door and the man doors to the garage. Coach lights will be required to match the architectural style of the house on all elevations where they are located. The homes that are located at the corner lots have more articulation on the sides that face the street and a little less on the side that cannot be seen by the public. • The lots all meet the required setbacks for the zoning district in which they are located and meet the maximum height requirements for the Hillside Design. Lot 4 is required to be a San Juan Architectural themed elevation as this architectural style will allow for it to meet the Hillside requirements where architectural elements such as chimneys may encroach into the building envelope established in this overlay. The trails were reviewed under the tract map approval. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for the Committee discussion regarding this project. Major Issues: The applicant worked hard with staff to follow the criteria outlined in the Development Code. There are no major issues regarding this project at this time. Secondary Issues: None.
