RESIDENTIAL DESIGN REVIEW NOS. 2013 -09 & 2013 -10
MARCH 18, 2014
Description of Residential Design Review Nos. 2013 -09 & 2013 -10
Residential Design Review No. 2013 -09 provides for the design and construction of 197
single - family residential units and Residential Design Review No. 2013 -10 provides for
the design and construction of 41 single - family residential units. The following describes
the various design components and features of the proposed project, including floor
plans, architecture, Living Smart features, preliminary plotting of production units, and
the conceptual wall and fence plan.
Floor Plans For Residences
The proposed 238 -unit project will offer four different plans (Amberleaf) throughout
Planning Areas 28A and 25 which are described as follows:
Amberleaf.•
1. Plan 1: One -story 1,646 square foot units with three bedrooms; 2.0 baths (option
third bath); great room; dining room, kitchen, laundry, covered patio, and two -car
garage. Plan 1 also offers the same features with optional storage in the attic.
2. Plan 2/2X: Two -story 2,097 square foot units with four bedrooms; 3.0 baths; great
room; kitchen; dining room; option covered patio and option loft. Two -car garage
(option third car garage). Plan 2X offers a GenSmart Suite in lieu of the fourth
bedroom and a living room area in lieu of the third -car garage. The Plan 2X
increases the square footage to a total of 2,357 square feet.
3. Plan 3: Two -story 2,250 square foot units with four bedrooms (option loft in lieu of
bedroom 2); 3.0 baths; great room; dining room; kitchen; and laundry. Option
covered patio; and option three -car garage.
4. Plan 4/4X: Two -story 2,542 square foot units with four bedrooms; 3.0 baths; great
room; dining room; loft; kitchen; laundry; and three -car garage. Options include loft
as a fifth bedroom, as well as a covered patio. Plan 4X offers a GenSmart Suite in
lieu of the loft and a workshop area to replace the third -car garage. The Plan 4X
increases the square footage to a total of 2,640 square feet.
Architecture and Treatments For Amberleaf Residences
The proposed Living Smart project would offer four architectural styles and treatments
for the twelve plans, including Spanish, Italian, Traditional, and Tuscan. The following
describes each of these architectural styles:
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
RESIDENTIAL DESIGN REVIEW NOS. 2013 -09 & 2013 -10
MARCH 18, 2014
• 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 Italian Architectural Style includes concrete "S" tile roofs, clipped gables, two -
tone color schemes, decorative shutters, vertical windows with stucco trim and soft
arches at the front entries
• The Traditional Style includes concrete flat tile roofs, clipped gables, stone veneer,
siding, and decorative shutters.
• The Tuscan Architectural Style includes concrete "S" the roofs, decorative elements
at front gable ends, decorative shutters, and vertical windows with stucco.
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.
Model Home Complex
The applicant is proposing a model home complex for the `Amberleaf' product proposed
along Tenino Court. The complex identifies models for four plans, including Plans 4XA
(Spanish), 3DR (Traditional), 1 BR (Tuscan) and 2C (Italian). 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.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
RESIDENTIAL DESIGN REVIEW NOS. 2013 -09 & 2013 -10
MARCH 18, 2014
Analysis
City Planning and Engineering staff have reviewed the requested Design Review
application and have no concerns. Staff believes that the project's architecture;
provision of Living Smart amenities and improvements; landscaping; and walls and
fences are consistent with design amenities and features previously approved in the
immediate area and 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.

WHEREAS, Pardee Homes has submitted an application for Residential Design
Review No. 2013 -09 (the "Project "), for the "Amberleaf" development of 197 single -
family residential units within Planning Area 28A of the Canyon Hills Specific Plan; and

address the potential impacts of the proposed project (CEQA Guidelines Section
15006); and
WHEREAS, CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 establishes the standard to be
used when determining whether subsequent environmental documentation is necessary
and says that when an environmental document has already been adopted for a project,
no subsequent environmental documentation is needed for subsequent entitlements
which comprise the whole of the action unless substantial changes or new information
are presented by the project; and
WHEREAS, the 1989 Final Environmental Impact Report for the Canyon Hills
Specific Plan (SCH #87111606: the "FEIR ") and the 2003 Addendum to FEIR,
collectively, evaluated environmental impacts that would result from maximum build -out

Plan.
SECTION 2. The Planning Commission finds and determines that the Activity
does not present any new information, circumstances, or changes to the project that

appropriate development and design standards contained in the Canyon Hills
Specific Plan. The Activity creates interest and varying vistas as a person moves
along any street within the subdivision. The Activity also complements the quality of
existing neighboring development and will continue to provide visually - pleasing
design and architecture within the area.
3. Conditions and safeguards pursuant to Chapter 17.184.070, including guarantees
and evidence of compliance with conditions, have been incorporated into the
approval of the Activity to ensure development of the property in accordance with the
General Plan, Municipal Code, and Canyon Hills Specific Plan.
