The Environmental Impact Report is also included as an earlier item. RECOMMENDATION: That Council , based on the findings contained in this report, adopt a resolution approving the Precise Plan Design Guidelines for Rancho del Sur, subject to the following conditions: 1 .

BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: On May 27, 1987, the Planning Commission, by a vote of 6-0 with one Commissioner absent, denied the application. The Commission' s action is discussed in the rezoning report (PCZ-87-I). DISCUSSION: The Rancho del Sur Precise Plan Design Guidelines set forth the standards for the four distinct areas; namely; Unit 1 which is set aside for the more Page 2, Item 25c Meeting Date 6/23/87 traditional multiple family area at 12 dwelling units per acre will fall under the review of the Chula Vista Design Review Committee with criteria established in keeping with the City's present R-3 standards. Areas 2 and 3 which are planned for the wide and shallow lots vary slightly in that Unit 2 is established to accommodate the 50' x 75' size lot with the various setbacks and building areas defined in the standards. Area 3 will be established for the 50' wide lot with a minimum depth of 90' reflecting similar setbacks with a slight increase in the building area. Areas 4 and 5 which are designed to accommodate the traditional single-family dwelling with a mixture of 6,000 and 7,000 square foot lots generally carries with it the standard setbacks established for R-1 areas as well as a floor area ratio of .45 and a maximum building height of 28' . For this reason staff is recommending that the site plan and architectural review required for areas 4 and 5 be in keeping with the standard R-1 zone. Provision has been made in the development standards for areas 4 and 5 to reduce the sideyard setbacks from 3' and 10' to 5' and 5' for lots with three-car garages. Consistent with Council 's action of June 16th eliminating this provision from the Bel Air Ridge Subdivision, we have recommended that this provision be deleted pending a report back to Council and resolution of the issue. Patio standards for each of the areas is outlined in the patio development schedule. While architectural plans have not been developed for any of the areas, specific architectural guidelines are included to establish design principle to be used as guide for designers and builders of this project. The landscape architecture program including types and locations of walls and fences to be used throughout the development are clearly outlined in the landscaping concept program. A perimeter wall which will help reduce noise impacts on the project will provide both esthetic and practical protection to be used in conjunction with the landscaping program. In addition, privacy fences will be used for the interior lot lines as well as certain perimeter areas that are not highly visible. Wrought iron view fencing will be utilized for rear yards oriented to open areas will allow homeowners to maximize the view potential . Cross sections of the various conditions are outlined in the graphic standards to help clarify the various conditions. Recreation facilities are being coordinated with the Parks and Recreation Department as well as providing pedestrian linkage between the proposed neighborhood park to be located along Naples Street linking the development back to the Greg Rogers park to the west. Major landscaping elements are provided along both Telegraph Canyon Road and Naples Street with Naples Street featuring a wide parkway on both sides with a meandering walk, with the intersections highlighted by additional landscaping as well as entry signs which are incorporated into the walls, highlighted by complimentary planting. The primary maintenance of these areas will be covered through an open space maintenance district, including the areas adjacent to Medical Center Drive and Naples Street as well as the major slope banks along Telegraph Canyon Road. Page 3, Item 25c Meeting Date 6/23/87 The public park area will be dedicated to the City and will become the responsibility of the community as a whole. Individual property owners located within this development will be responsible for landscaping maintenance within their private yard areas. The remaining area within the gas and electric easement will be included as part of the open space mai ntenance district. FINDINGS 1 .
