2. Existing site characteristics.
The project site consists of two vacant parcels. The most southerly
pa cel is zoned C-N and is approximately one-half acre in size. The northerly
pa cel is zoned R-3-P-12 and has been previously graded (borrow pit) resulting
in the property sloping gently from north to south with 2:1 slopes along the
no therly and easterly property lines. The properties to the north are
ap roximately 25 feet higher in elevation. The slopes along the easterly
pr perty line are part of a dirt berm ranging from 30 to 40 feet higher than the
le el portion of the site. The Telegraph Canyon drainage crosses the southerly
po tion of the property between the two parcels. The drainage is primarily an
o n channel with a covered box culvert over the easterly 173 feet.
3. Tentative map.
The developer intends to subdivide the subject property into six lots.
Lo 1, containing a total of 0.6 acres, will include the covered portion of the
dr inage into the area of the lot resulting in the lot being split zoned. Lot 3
is a 0.3 acre common lot with a swimming pool, Jacuzzi and recreation building,
ho sing a lounge, restroom and office. The other four lots will be developed
wi h 90 condominium units.
4. Proposed development.
a. Structures.
The 90 units will be housed in 24 two-story buildings which will be
ei her triplexes or sixplexes. There will be 6 sixplexes, each with an attached
8 ar garage. Each of the 18 triplexes will have an attached 4 car garage. No
de elopment plans have been prepared for the commercial lot.
b. Units.
There will be six basic floor plans, comprised of 11 one bedroom
units, 69 two bedrooms, and 10 three bedrooms. The following table indicates
th type of unit, the amount of storage and open space for each unit.

c. Parking.
The 90 units require a minimum of 121 parking spaces on site. The
~pment will provide 120 garage spaces, 48 open spaces and 8 R.V. spaces-a
of 176 spaces, or 55 spaces more than required by code.
d. Circulation.
The project will be served by a private loop street with short cul-de-sacs
wh ch provide access to the garages. The southerly access is aligned with
Ca ino Vista Real located across Nacion Avenue and the northerly access is
to ated approximately 250 feet north of Corte Nacion. The access points conform
to the precise plan guidelines.
e. Architecture.
The buildings will be of contemporary design with asphalt shingle roofs, a
ination of stucco and wood siding on the exterior elevations and wood trim,
rways and balconies. The patio walls will be stucco.
5. Design Review Committee.
On August 6, 1981, the Design Review Committee approved a precise plan
(P M-82-2) for the proposed development subject to the following conditions:
a. Texture paving at the entrance driveways.
b. Three and one-half foot maximum fence height within the 15 foot
front setback.
c. The 6 foot perimeter fence/wall carried around the southeast
corner of the site.
d. Building 21 shall either be moved northerly or the fence moved
away from the channel.
e. Easterly slopes to be landscaped with trees and irrigated,
subject to the Landscape Architect's approval.
f. Retaining walls and trash enclosures shall be stucco to match
the buildings or shall be of decorative block.
g. Building 3 shall be relocated or the drainage structure
easement relocated and re-recorded.
h. Stairways and balconies must observe the 15 foot front setback.
6. Building setbacks.
Although the standard R-3 setback is 15 feet, the precise plan guidelines
for this development call for a minimum 30 foot front setback for two story
str ctures and a 15 foot setback for one story structures and portions thereof.
In ddition, the precise plan guidelines limited structures adjacent to Nacion
Ave ue to one story and not more than 15 feet in height. The proposed
dev lopment consists of only two story structures, some of which partially
enc oach into the front setback. In most cases the encroachment is minor, since

Meeting of 1 19 82
Ly a small portion of the corner of the building is located within the 30 foot
;back. Many of the buildings are set at an angle to Nacion rather than being
:allel. The variation of setback along Nacion creates an average setback
Lch exceeds the 30 foot standard. The Design Review Committee approved the
:roachments into the front setback on the basis that the intent of the setback
Ldelines is being achieved by the proposed plan and the variation actually
gates a more pleasing street scene.
7. Split zoning.
The proposed tentative map results in Lot 1 being split zoned. Because of
th topography and the relationship of the covered portion of the channel to the
c rcially zoned portion of the lot, it is appropriate to include that area in
th area of Lot 1. The developer has indicated he will petition for rezoning to
ad'ust the zone boundary to coincide with the property line.
8. Phased development.
a
The developer is proposing to subdivide the residential area into five
for financing purposes and will probably develop the property in phases.
will require that the property be developed in a logical and sequential
per so that adequate circulation and parking is provided at each phase of
;truction. The developer will also have to provide the necessary easements
maintenance agreements between each phase of development. The recommended
litions of approval address these matters.
