PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposal includes twelve three -story residential buildings with individual tuck -under
garages, and nine types of building elevations (Attachment 5, Site Plan, page SP -5). The rental
homes will be offered in one, two, and three bedroom models with seven different floor plans
ranging in size from 715 square feet to 1,373 square feet. The project proposes 149 one-
bedroom units, 106 two - bedroom units, and 18 three- bedroom units.
The development proposes to have a 7,000 square feet leasing office /resident clubhouse that
includes a fitness center, a business center and is adjacent to an internal main plaza and
recreation area of approximately 36,300 square feet. Among the amenities are a pool area, spa
with a raised deck, cabanas, shade structures, a fire place, seating areas, BBQ areas, and play
elements for children (Attachment 5, pages A -3.9 and L -3).

Page No. 3
The project also proposes to have 2,000 square feet of retail space at the ground level of the
residential building located at the corner of Orion Avenue and private Street A (Attachment 5,
pages SP -4 and L -2). This building is oriented towards the future Stylus Park, and the sidewalk
serving the retail space will be approximately eight feet wide with enhanced concrete paving and
street trees.
A total of 505 residential parking spaces are proposed which include garages, carports, and
uncovered parking. Vehicular access to the public streets is at the southwest corner of the site,
via the private Street A connecting to Orion Avenue and Stylus Street (Attachment 5, pages SP -5
and L -8).
The project is internally connected by a series of enhanced paving walkways, plazas, and
gathering spaces. This internal pedestrian system also connects the project to the pedestrian
corridors in Millenia taking the residents to public places and encouraging pedestrian circulation
(Attachment 5, page SP -6).
The planting design consists of drought tolerant plants, minimal turf areas, and plant material
that accents and frames the architecture while enhancing the pedestrian scale of the project. Drip
irrigation is being proposed to ensure the project is sustainable and meets current water efficient
guidelines (Attachment 5, pages L -1 and L -2).
The project is also proposing hydromodification and water quality management in accordance
with City and regional requirements through multiple bioretention swales and modular wetland
units incorporated in the design (Attachment 5, page C -1).

Compliance with the EUC Form Based Code, Residential Neighborhood Districts
The EUC Form Based Code identifies six dominant land use categories of which one is entitled
Residential Neighborhood Districts; this project lies within this category. Chapter 02.06.000
discusses this District's category and includes a range of urban form guidelines (Attachment 3).
Outlined below is a discussion as to how the proposed project conforms to the applicable
guidelines.
Site Planning
Sections 02.06.003 and 02.06.004 (Attachment 3, page II -40) describe overall and site planning
principles that ensure projects within the Residential Neighborhood Districts utilize design
strategies that will:
• Place "eyes on the street," especially entrances and windows that face /orient to the street
and public spaces,
• Provide functional outdoor space in conjunction with residential developments, including
private and /or communal spaces that augment neighborhood parks,
• Organize internal pedestrian circulation for convenient access to the overall EUC
pedestrian system,
• Place parking structures and lots internally, whenever possible,
The project meets these guidelines by proposing residential buildings that are predominantly
Rev 2/24/14
DRC -13 -21
Item 2
March 12, 2014
Page No. 5
oriented to Orion Avenue, Birch Road, Eastlake Parkway, and Stylus Street with a minimal
setback from the property line to create a more urban atmosphere. Parking areas are then located
behind, and under the buildings allowing the project to provide the required parking and to
maintain the pedestrian orientation and urban character objectives within the SPA plan. The site
plan orientation enables the units along the street to take direct pedestrian access from the public
sidewalk to individual ground floor units, as well as, common entries into each building.
Residents will be able to easily access the 12' -15' wide pedestrian corridor surrounding the site,
linking them to various activities and destinations throughout Millenia and beyond.
The internal pedestrian circulation offers key pedestrian access points identified at all four sides
of the development. These ingress /egress points occur between perimeter buildings and lead you
through landscaped and outdoor corridors into the development. From this point, there are a
series of enhanced paving crossings and landscaped open space areas which define a path of
travel to residential buildings, the central pool /amenity area, and the smaller open space areas
within the development.
The development meets the requirement to provide functional outdoor spaces by proposing to
have a 7,000 square feet leasing office /clubhouse that includes a fitness center and a business
center, and is adjacent to an internal main plaza and recreation area of approximately 36,300
square feet to be located at the center of the site. This communal space proposes to have a pool
area, a spa with a raised deck, cabanas, shade structures, a fire place, seating areas, BBQ areas,
and play elements for children. The main entrance to the clubhouse /leasing office is directly
connected to the adjacent Stylus Park by a series of paving patterns and colored concrete plaza
leading the visitors to an inviting entry delineated with palm trees, water fountains, seat walls,
and planters (Attachment 5, L -3).
The buildings facing Stylus Park were not able to be sited directly adjacent to the park due to the
necessity of providing private Street "A" which creates a physical separation between the park
and the project; however, this separation will be softened by street trees and low growing
planting lining its edge. In addition, as stated above, the proposed retail, clubhouse, and leasing
areas have been oriented to interface with the park and will be connected by enhanced paving.
Architectural Guidelines
Section 02.06.005 (Attachment 3, page II -40) outlines a series of Architectural guidelines to
ensure projects within the Neighborhood Districts provide:
Vertical and architectural flexibility instead of repetitious design themes,
Use common gathering places rather than private useable open spaces, and
Design buildings to have an "Urban Character" even in 2 -3 story formats.
The dominant architecture style is contemporary with an undertone of Art Moderne. The
buildings' facades exhibit an urban character through the use of cultured stone, stucco foam -
trims, metal railings, scoring, glazing, and cool tones combined with rich earth -tone stucco color
schemes (Attachment 5, page A -7.1). While some components of the architectural detailing vary
Rev 2/24/14
DRC -13 -21 Item 2
March 12, 2014
Page No. 6
from one building to the next to establish variety, there are common threads running through the
facade of the buildings to assist in establishing order. The project incorporates design features
which complement a pedestrian scale, such as, overhangs, windows, stone facades, balconies,
low walls and planters, pedestrian seating, and planting buffers (Attachment 5, Conceptual
Elevations).
Staff has worked with the applicant to increase the amount of variation in forms and mass, both
vertically and horizontally. A wide variety of horizontal and vertical plane offsets have been
provided to break up the massing of the buildings, such as, color blocking, window size
variations, and a combination of recessed planes and geometric forms creating dynamic facades.
The "urban character" is obtained though this variation in architectural forms and plane offsets,
as well as, iconic tower elements provided at key intersections within the project.
Exhibit II -27 of the Form Based Code (Attachment 3, page II -42) requires the project to
incorporate the use of "Iconic Architecture" at three key intersections within the Project Site.
The project proposes three iconic tower features /elements: The first at the corner of Birch Road
and Orion Avenue, the second is the corner of Birch Road and Eastlake Parkway, and the third at
the corner of private Street A and Orion Avenue. The tower elements are approximately 50 feet
high and contain unique and distinctive features which blend with the overall architectural
design, as well as provide a visual identification of the proposed development within the EUC.
The towers will be further enhanced through lighting elements to define the corners, crown, cap,
and medallion at the top of the towers (Attachment 5, Conceptual Perspectives, pages A -6.1
through A -6.3).
Landscape Guidelines
Section 02.06.006 outlines the Landscape guidelines ensuring that projects create intimate
gathering places for resident social interaction (Attachment 3, page II -41).
In addition to the Recreation area previously mentioned, the project proposes two gathering
spaces located mid -block of Birch Road and Eastlake Parkway (Attachment 5, page L -4). The
pedestrian gateway connecting to Birch Road is a palm promenade of approximately 7,500
square feet with an integral color concrete paving plaza, a bocce ball court, seating areas, BBQ
areas, planting areas and catenary bistro lights illuminating the palm trees and the plaza. The
second gateway connecting to Eastlake Parkway is approximately 1,700 square feet and proposes
to have a concrete walkway, seating areas, planting areas, and a combination of evergreen and
deciduous trees providing a place for social interaction.
Overall, the project proposes several intimate gathering spaces for social interaction throughout
the site which are framed by low growing plantings and trees providing shade, color, and sound.
Global Design Provisions
In addition to the architectural design guidelines discussed above which are specific to
residential neighborhood districts, Chapter 3 of the EUC Form Based Code provides guidelines
Rev 2/24/14
DRC -13 -21
Item 2
March 12, 2014
Page No. 7
which are applicable to many districts and include the architectural design principles to ensure
that projects recognize that all sides of the building facade that are exposed to the public require
design consideration to enhance the pedestrian experience (Section 03.10.000, Architectural
Design Principles).
The applicant has revised the Project to provide 360 degree design consideration on all the
buildings facades. The floor plans do not lend themselves to allow for as much building
articulation as the "public facing" elevations; nonetheless, the applicant has provided additional
enhancements to the rear elevations through use of color variation and variation in fenestration,
to enhance these elevations which will be visible by residents of the project.
Setbacks
Exhibit III -52 of the SPA Plan (Attachment 3, page III -73) indicates that the building setbacks
from all streets are 0 -10 feet, as measured from the street right -of -way or property line. The
majority of the perimeter buildings are located at or less than the 10 foot setback; however, in
isolated locations, the 10 ft. setback is exceeded due to certain building recessions and/or curving
roadways. These deviations are appropriate because they allow for a consistent building edge
around the perimeter of the development. Said deviations are allowed per section 03.11.003 of
the EUC Form Based Code (Attachment 3, page III -75).
CONCLUSION
The proposed 273 rental apartments are a permitted land use in the Otay Ranch General
Development Plan (GDP) and are permitted in the Neighborhood District 2 of the Millenia SPA
Plan. The proposal complies with the policies, guidelines and design standards for the Millenia
SPA Plan. Therefore, staff recommends the Planning Commission approve Design Review
Permit, DRC- 13 -21, subject to the conditions listed in the attached Resolution.
DECISION -MAKER CONFLICTS
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the Planning Commission members and has found no
property holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property, which is the subject of this
action.
Staff is not independently aware, nor has staff been informed by any Planning Commission
member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in
this matter.
FISCAL IMPACT
The application fees and processing costs are paid for by the Applicant.
