Related File: Minor Exception DRC2020-00217, and Tree Removal Permit 2020-00218. A Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts was prepared for consideration. Site Characteristics and Background: The 4-acre project site is located on the west side of Hermosa Avenue, at the western terminus of Vista Grove Street. The project site is generally rectangular in shape with a 50-foot-wide strip of land connecting the project site to Hermosa Avenue. The project site is approximately 630 feet along the north property line, 505 feet along the south property line, 309 feet along the west property line, and 280 feet along the east property line (plus the above noted 50-foot-wide strip). The site generally slopes from north to south, with an elevation change of approximately 24 feet from the north property line (1,927 feet) to at the south property line (1,903 feet). There is an existing single-family residence and an accessory structure at the southwest corner of the project site. The remainder of the project site is undeveloped and covered with native and non-native grasses and multiple trees. The existing Land Uses on, and General Plan land use and Zoning designations for, the project site and the surrounding properties (relative to the above-noted lot) are as follows: Land Use General Zoning Plan Site Single-Family Residence Very Low Very Low (VL) Residential District Partially Vacant North Single-Family Residences Very Low Very Low VL Residential District South Single-Family Residence Very Low Very Low (VL) Residential District Equestrian Facility East Single-Family Residence Very Low Very Low VL Residential District West Single-Family Residences Very Low Very Low VL Residential District Project Overview: The applicant is requesting to subdivide the 4-acre project site into 6 lots for the future development of 6 single-family residences. The existing single-family and accessory structure on the project will be demolished with the development of the project site. The proposed lots will be accessed by a private street off of Hermosa Avenue. Each lot complies with the development standards for the Very Low (VL) Residential District. A 6- foot-tall retaining wall with a 5-foot wrought iron fence is required along the south property line of the 50-foot-wide flag due to a grade difference between the project site and an existing single- family lot to the east. The applicant has submitted a Minor Exception application (DRC2020- 00218)for the additional wall height. TRAILS ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMMENTS TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT18305 — MANNY BADIOLA August 12, 2020 Page 2 The project site is within the Equestrian Overlay District, which necessitates the installation of a 15-foot wide local feeder trail to provide trail access to the rear yard of each lot and the larger trail network. Accordingly, a proposed 15-foot-wide trail will be located adjacent to the south, west, and east property lines of the project site with a 15-foot-wide trail connection to Hermosa Avenue. The trails will connect to the existing private trail network to the west and will include a 4-inch cover of decomposed granite along with required access gates and equestrian step-throughs. Corner cutoffs to aide vehicle navigation are provided adjacent to Parcels #3 and #4 along with Vehicle turn-arounds at Parcels #1 and #6. Each lot also provides a flat area for a 24-foot by 24- foot flat area for an equestrian corral that is a minimum 70 from the building pad on the adjacent parcel. Staff Comments: Staff is in support of the proposed equestrian trail alignment for Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18305, which provides local feeder trail access to the rear yard area of each of the 6 proposed lots, and to the wider equestrian trail system, in conformance with the Trails Implementation Plan. The proposed lots also provide two convenient vehicle turnarounds as well as corner cutoffs to aid vehicle movement. The plans on file show a conceptual location for a 24-foot by 24-foot corral location on each lot that is a minimum 70 feet from a residence on an adjacent lot. Each lot will also include an access gate to the equestrian trail along with the required trail gates, equestrian step-throughs, and 4- inch cover of decomposed granite. A three-foot-wide drainage easement will be provided adjacent to the equestrian trail to convey runoff from each lot. Major Issues: None Secondary Issues: None Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends the Trails Advisory Committee approve the proposed equestrian trail design as presented and to recommend approval of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18305 to the Planning Commission as presented.
