DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
(e) The design and layout of the proposed development are
consistent with the General Plan, development standards
of the applicable district, design guidelines, and
architectural criteria for specialized area (e.g., theme
areas, specific plans, community plans, boulevards, or
planned developments.
Originally, Tract Map No. 47850 was submitted as a
vesting tentative tract map. At that time, the City was
2
operating under a draft General Plan. The General Plan
-- was adopted on July 25, 1995. Vesting Tentative Tract
Map No. 47850 was approved on June 5, 1995. However,
Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 47850 was designed at 25
percent below the maximum allowable density and has an
overall average density of 1.49 dwelling units per acre
unit which complies with the land use designation of
Rural Residential (Maximum l DU/AC) identified in the
adopted General Plan. Additionally, the proposed
project complies with the City's General Plan objectives
and strategies related to maintaining the integrity of
residential neighborhoods and open space. Furthermore,
the proposed project is compatible with the eclectic
architectural style and design, materials, and colors of
existing homes within the surrounding area.
(f) The design and layout of the proposed development will
not interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring
existing or future development, and will not create
traffic or pedestrian hazards.
Tract Map No. 47850 Master Environmental Impact Report
No. 91-2, certified by the City, addresses the design
and layout of the neighborhood as well as the flow of
F^m
pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
Crystal Ridge Road and the secondary access roads in the
vicinity, Steeplechase Lane and Water Course Drive,
adequately serve the project site. These streets are
designed to handle minimum traffic created by
residential development. Therefore, the use of a
single-family residence will not interfere with the use
and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future
development, and will not create traffic or pedestrian
hazards.
(g) The architectural design of the proposed development is
compatible with the characteristics of the surrounding
neighborhood and will maintain and enhance the
harmonious, orderly and attractive development
contemplated by Chapter 22.48, the General Plan, City
Design Guidelines, or any applicable specific plan.
The proposed project's architectural style is
Mediterranean. The architectural features of portico
with columns, pre -cast concrete balusters and wrought
iron around the balconies, tile roof, and stucco
exterior with stone and stucco quoin accents, are
consistent with many homes in Tract 47850 and compatible
with the eclectic architectural style of other homes in
neighboring Tract 47851 and "The Country Estates."
There is no applicable specific plan for this area.
