All Commission comments tonight will be forwarded to the City Council for their consideration of the applicant's appeal of the Planning Con~nissions denial of the vesting tentative tract map and related Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment- BACKGROUND: Since the Commission last reviewed and denied this project on December 17, 1991, the Council has reviewed and continued the appeal of the vesting tentative tract map and related Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment on three separate occasions- The appeal hearing is now scheduled for Council review on September 2, 1992- The continuances were intended to allow the appellant the opportunity to prepare a subdivision design that abandons the "grid" local street pattern and rigid lot layout for a curvilinear street pattern and includes the required 2-33 acre park site on this property. In addition, the plan is intended to justify that this and future projects in this zone can be designed to promote a more rural, country-like atmosphere, consistent with the goals and objectives of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, with the smaller 8,500 square foot average lot size. Since the last Council hearing, staff has met with the applicant on two occasions to review conceptual layouts- The redesigned subdivision maps now include the master planning of areas immediately adjacent to the site zoned Low-Medium Residential, however, they do not show master planning of adjacent areas designated Medium Density. ITEM B PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT VTE 14211 - U.S. HOME CORPORATION August 12, 1992 Page 2 ANALYSIS: The applicant has submitted a conceptual subdivision redesign (see Exhibit "A"), which is intended to address Con~nission and Council concerns by providing a curvilinear local street pattern and more interesting lot configurations (with lots averaging 8,500 square feet, per the related Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment request) to meet the goals and objectives of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. In order to accomplish these objectives, the adjacent areas in the Low-Medium Residential District were master planned to fit with the curvilinear street pattern on the subject property, resulting in a number of stub streets that will connect in the future to the adjacent properties. However, the adjacent properties zoned Medium Residential were not master planned as requested by staff. (Please refer to Exhibit "A" which highlights these areas.) Lastly, the 2.33 acre park site is shown on the applicant's property for the i~nediate use of residents of the subdivision, consistent with the requests of the Parks and Recreation Commission, the Planning Commission, and City Council. In staff's opinion, the conceptual design adequately addresses the major site planning issues (i.e., street design and lot layout) previously mentioned by the Planning CommissioA and City Council.

City Counci~ Minutes April 1, 1992 Page 9 Mayor Stout stated his position has still not changed since the last meeting. He ~sked the City Attorney how to proceed with this m~tter since it was apparent there was a tie vote on this matter. James Markman, City Attorney, stated unless the developer waives some time lines on the map, there would be some problems with time running out on the Vesting Tentative Map. He felt if the developer would waive the time lines, it would allow the fifth Councilmember to listen to the tapes regarding this matter and then come back for a vote for all five Councilmembers. He stated unless the developer will waive the time lines, he would suggest the Council deny the appeal. Mr. Schultz, Reid and Hellyer, stated they would waive the time limits in order to wait for Councilmember Wright to return, but would also like to make a presentation when she returns. Mayor Stout stated that in the meantime, they go back and work on the Vesting Tentative Map and do the things they say they would like to do. James Markman, City Attorney, suggested that it be part of the record that the developer is waiving time limits presently to act on the Vesting Map as it is now presented to the Council, that they intend to take it back to the Commission with the Council's direction, that the Council continue the hearings on the Ordinances before them to 7=00 p.m., on June 3, 1992 in the Council Cham~ers, and direct the Vesting Mapbe sent back to the PlanningCo emission with modifications agreeable to the developer, and hopefully to come back at the lame time.
