The sector is bounded on the west by the crest of the north/south Peters Canyon ridge, Peters Canyon Wash, and Lower Lake Drive; on the north and east by the City boundary; and on the south by the Fufure Road. The land beyond the eastern edge of the Sector is in the County's jurisdiction and is currently planted with orchards. The Sector encompasses a broad valley which contains the west tributary of Peters Canyon Wash. Much of the valley is relatively flat. This sector is planned to include a variety of land uses. The residential uses will range from the estate density to medium density to medium density. Estate density residential is located in the western and northern hillsides; low density is located in the upper valley and on a low knoll extending south from the north/south ridge; medium low and medium density occur in the central and upper portions of the valley; and medium Iow density is located at the southerly end of the valley adjacent to the Future Road. These various residential densities have been organized relative to the topography access and visibility from existing development to the west A nine-acre community park is planned just south of the elementary school site in Sector 3, along the wash. A regional riding./hiking trail and Class I Bikeway are planned in proximity to Peters Canyon Wash reflecting the Orange County General Plan. The following policies apply to Sector 2: A. The maximum number of units permitted within this sector are shown on Table 2.4.' B. Policies and guidelines related to the Hillside District apply to the portions of this sector that are located within the Hillside District. See Subsection 2.13. Co Do E. In order to minimize the impacts of land form modification and grading within the Hillside District, in areas designated for estate density, housing may be clustered. Concurrent with submission of the sector subdivision map as required under Subsection 1.5, the precise location of the El Modena Fault shall be determined through a detailed geological investigation conducted by the landowner and appropriate building setbacks should be established in conformance with current state standards. In addition to the specific submittal requirements for he subdivision map of this sector (refer to subsection 1.5), a conceptual landscape plan for arterial roadways within this Sector shall also be submitted with the Subdivision Map for review by the Director of Community Development, refer to Subsection 2.12 Implementation, for specific requirements. Fo Go Where feasible and consistent with flood control requirements, the treatment of Peters Canyon Wash (Exhibit L) should retain a natural appearance by (1) minimizing concrete channelization such as vertical-walled concrete channel, or trapezoidal soil cement; (2) retaining replanting indigenous vegetation along the drainage course and/or (3) locating the drainage course within open space areas. In addition to the specific submittal requirements for the subdivision map of this Sector, a conceptual design of Peters Canyon Wash for the portion that occurs within this Sector, shall also be submitted for approval .by the Director of Community Development and the City Engineer. This conceptual design shall illustrate the basic design concept for improvements to the wash including a proposed location for the regional riding/hiking and bicycle trail. Objectives for the character of Peters Canyon Wash are included in Subsection 2.13, Drainage Guidelines. The City of Tustin should attempt to locate the proposed community park adjacent to the proposed Peters Canyon Wash trail and within the main viewshed of the existing community to the west, so as to minimize visual impacts. H. The maximum density on Lot 11 of tract 13627 shall be limited to ten dwelling units per gross acre. (ETSP PAGE 2-34) The following policies apply to Sector 5: Sector 5 This sector is similar to Sector 4 in character, size and planned land uses. It consists of 116 hilly acres and its location is adjacent to the existing hillside of the Cowan Heights/Lemon Heights area on the west. It is bounded by proposed roadway extensions on the north, east and south respectively Foothill Boulevard, Future Road, and Racquet Hill Drive. This area consists predominantly of Eucalyptus groves dispersed throughout the hill terrain as well as hillsides covered in grassland. Because of its hilly terrain and proximity to the existing hillside community, this sector has been planned for estate and Iow density land uses. The majority of this sector, approximately 98 acres, is planned for estate residential development. There is also a small area, comprised of 18 acres, where the hillsides begin to flatten out that has been designated for low density residential development. An intermediate school site is also planned. The precise location and size of this facility shall be determined as described in Subsection 2.10 of this Specific Plan. A. The maximum number of units permitted within this sector shall be as shown on Table 2.4. B. C. Do E. To be consistent with the character of adjacent existing single family residential areas to the west of this Sector, only single family detached residential subdivisions shall be permitted within the estate density area designation the Land .Use Plan (see Exhibit C). The policies and guidelines related to the Hillside District apply to the portions of this Sector that are within the Hillside District. Refer to Section 2.13. In order to minimize the impacts of landform modification and grading within the Hillside District, in areas designated for estate density, housing may be clustered in flatter portions of the hillsides where feasible. Densities higher than two welling units per acre may be considered where clustering is proposed within the Hillside District provided that: (1) the overall density within the land use area is not exceeded; (2) that the residential unit type is single family detached; and that (-3) it can be demonstrated that clustering shall reduce grading and landform modification. In addition to the specific submittal requirements for the subdivision map of this sector, refer to Sector 1.5, a conceptual landscape plan for arterial roadways within this sector shall also be submitted with the Subdivision Map for review by the Director of Community Development, refer to Section 2.12 Implementation, for specific requirements.
