The applicant proposes this 'Alternate A' plan should the market not demand the larger square footage 'Meadow Ridge' home product. The applicant has committed to come back to a Planning Commission meeting in the near future as an informational item to alert the Planning Commission as to which product they will be moving forward with. Architecture and Treatments For Living Smart Residences The proposed Living Smart project would offer five architectural styles and treatments for the twelve plans, including Spanish, Traditional, Italian, French, and Craftsman. The following describes each of these architectural styles: • The Spanish Architectural Style includes concrete "S" tile roofs, decorative pipe vents at front gable ends, plank shutters, stucco window trim, and arched entries. • The Traditional Architectural Style includes concrete flat tile roofs, horizontal siding accents at front gable ends, decorative shutters, vertical windows with stucco trim, and brick veneer. • The Italian Architectural Style includes concrete flat tile roofs, clipped gables, projected wainscoting as color coordinated accent, decorative shutters, vertical windows with stucco trim and soft arches at the front entries • The French Architectural Style includes concrete flat tile roofs, clipped gables, stone veneer, wood outlookers, and decorative shutters. • The Craftsman Architectural Style includes concrete flat tile roofs, clipped gables, stone veneer, wood outlookers, tapered columns and decorative shutters. Enhanced, four -sided architectural treatments in the form of window surrounds will be provided for all the proposed residences as a standard feature. Living Smart Features The proposed residences will feature a comprehensive approach to earth - friendly and energy- saving design. The applicant, which is a certified California Green Builder, will incorporate Living Smart features and improvements into each of the constructed residences. The Living Smart concept is defined as being "EnergySmart", "EarthSmart", "WaterSmart", and "HealthSmart", and is intended to promote health, and conserve energy, water, and other vital resources. PC December 18, 2012 Item No. 4 Page 4 of 21 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT RESIDENTIAL DESIGN REVIEW NO. 2012 -04 DECEMBER 18, 2012 Model Home Complex A three -lot model home complex was approved with the original Living Smart project and constructed along the Pinnata Court cul -de -sac, at the intersection with Camelina Street. The applicant is also proposing a model home complex for the 'Meadow Ridge' product proposed along Pursh Drive. The complex identifies models for three plans, including Plans 1A, 3XBR and 4XC. The complex will include a handicap parking space as well as on street parking. Conceptual Wall and Fence Plan To ensure design consistency, the Conceptual Wall and Fence Plan for the project shows that those similar walls and fences that are provided elsewhere in the Canyon Hills area will continue to be provided with the proposed project. Perimeter walls will be split face block with pilasters. The pilasters will have pointed and bull -nose caps. Six - foot vinyl and tubular steel fences will be provided between lots and along view lots. Front returns will be six -foot concrete block walls. Analysis City Planning and Engineering Staff have reviewed the requested Design Review application and have no concerns. Staff believes that the design amenities and features previously approved in the immediate area are consistent with the project's architecture; provision of Living Smart amenities and improvements; landscaping; and walls and fences have resulted in a well- designed residential project. In addition, the project is compatible with the overall Canyon Hills Specific Plan area and those existing and future developments that neighbor the project site. Environmental Determination Environmental analysis and clearance for the proposed Design Review application is provided by the 2003 Addendum to the 1989 Final Canyon Hills Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The 2003 Addendum to the EIR (Addendum) was prepared in accordance with Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines and was approved by the City Council in late 2003. The proposed project is consistent with the Canyon Hills Specific Plan Amendment No. 2 and therefore, will not conflict with the analysis and findings of the 2003 Addendum. The 2003 Addendum concluded that all impacts would be less than significant with implementation of those mitigation measures contained in the original 1989 Final Canyon Hills Specific Plan EIR and carried forward to the 2003 Addendum. It should also be noted that the project is exempt from the Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP). Further environmental action is not required pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162.
