COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
FOR MEETING OF:~29
ITEM TITLE: Resolution ~' 7Q13 ~ - Approving precise plan for residential development of
2.5 acres at the southeast corner of Palomar Avenue and Second Street
SUBMITTED BY Director of Planning
ITEM EXPLANATION
The City Council considered rezoning of the subject property in a preceding agenda
item. This item requests approval of the accompanying precise plan.
Since the Negative Declaration was certified in conjunction with the rezoning, no
further action is required.
The attached precise plan, Exhibit "A", proposes a mixture of 24 one and two story units
(12 duplexes) on the 2.5 acres, with access via private driveways. Minimum lot size is
3,660± sq. ft., compared to the 3500 sq. ft. lot requirement of the R-2-T zone. An
existing open drainage channel in the northwest quadrant of the property will remain
but will be screened on all sides. The complete analysis of this proposal is contained
in the attached staff report to the Planning Commission of May 28, 1975.

1. The preceding agenda item considered rezoning the subject property
from R-1 to R-2-T-P. This item discusses the accompanying Precise Plan,
enclosed as Exhibit "A". The Precise Plan includes a site plan and the
architectural elevations.
2. The Initial Study IS-74-27 was certified in the preceding rezoning;
no further action by the Planning Commission is necessary.
B. ANALYSIS
1. General Layout.
The plan shows 24 duplex units in 12 buildings, arranged symetrically
across the property and oriented around four private driveways. Each unit,
although joined at a common wall, would be individually owned.
The average lot size is 4,495 sq. ft., compared to the 3,500 sq. ft.
minimum requirement of the Zoning Ordinance. When the areas consumed by the
private streets and the drainage channel are subtracted, the average usable
lot size is 3,990 sq. ft.±, still over the 3,500 sq. ft. minimum. Oniy one
lot is below the minimum, at 2,925 sq. ft.; however the lot has a good
usable rear yard, 25 feet deep, and is buffered from Second Avenue by the
drainage channel and fencing.,
2. Parking and Circulation.
a. Other than the parking provided by individual driveways, all of
the guest parking will be onstreet on Palomar and Second. Twenty-four spaces,
or one per unit, will be available. The onstreet parking is acceptable to the
Planning Department since the furthest units from the street are within easy
walking distance of 150'-16D'.
b. Turnarounds are being provided near the end of each court to
facilitate the movement of larger vehicles.
c. Due to the multiple use and shared maintenaence of the private
courts, they will be constructed of P.C.C.
3. Drainage Channel
The Precise Plan shows that the existing drainage ciaannel will be left
open but screened on all sides. On the street side the !channel will be
screened raith a relocated chainlink fence with planting m~vergrowing it. On
the east side, a wooden fence is proposed to separate ared screen the
individual yards from the channel. These proposals have been reviewed by the
Public Works Department and found to be acceptable. The channel will also
be screened by a wood fence adjacent to the first private court crossing from
Second Avenue.

4. Landscaping.
All lots are proposed to be individually landscaped and maintained by the
individual owners. A wide (lII') landscaped strip within the right of way of
Second Avenue is proposed. A 5' wide planter strip i•iithin the right of way
also will exist along the Palomar frontage. Trees for each lot should be
required as in the case of detached single family homes. Additionally, trees
along the public street and landscape screening of the chainlink fence should
be required.

~5. Maintenance.
Two areas of this project will require cooperation in maintenance: the
private courts, and the landscaping in the public right of tvay. A limited
homeowners association should be established to handle these maintenance
responsibilities. At the subdivider's option, the association can be expanded
to exercise architectural control; issue by-laws, or cover other matters
normally addressed by homeowners association agreements.
6. Garage Conversions.
Due to the lack of street frontage and parking, garage conversions should
be prohibited by the CC&R's.
7. Sound Attenuation 4Jalls.
a. Six ft. high walls to diminish the sound impact of Palomar~Street
traffic should be required on the two lots siding to Palomar.
' b. The 3 ft. wall and mounding shown on Second Avenue (see Exhibit A)
is acceptable to staff.
8. Architecture.
The basic architectural elevations of the one and ti~~o story units shown
in Exhibit "A" are acceptable to staff; however, specific materials to be
used will be subject to approval in conjunction with site plan and architectural
review.
C. RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a motion recomanending that the City Council approve the Precise Plan
(Exhibit "A") for development of 24 duplexes on 2.5 -acres of property in the
southeast quadrant of Palomar Street and Second Avenue, subject to the follo~•ring
