MAP 13106 12-21-87FROM: SlJ_BJECT: WILLIAM HUSTON, CIl'~ HANAGER COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT HAP 13106 (FIELDSTONE COMPANY) RECOI~IENDED ACTION It is recommended that the City Council': 1) approve the Environmental Determination for the project by adoption of Resolution No. 87-151, 2) approve Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 13106 as recommended by the Planning Commission by the adoption of Resolution No. 87-152. S~ARY The Planning Commission at a regular meeting on November 23, 1987 recommended to the City Council approval of Tentative Tract Map 13106 subject to conditions contained in Exhibit A to Resolution No. 2459. The proposed tract map would subdivide a 9.98 acre site into 110 numbered and 19 lettered lots {for landscape maintenance purposes) permitting the development of 110 single family attached dwelling units. In conjunction with Tentative Tract 13106, the Planning Commission also approved the specific site plan and architectural design of the project {Design Review 87-18). The subject site is bounded by future Lagier Way to the north, Bryan Avenue to the south, an elementary school site and a neighborhood park to the east and future Tustin Ranch Road to the west. Planned and anticipated development in the vicinity include a proposed 145 unit condominium project to the north across Lagier Way (LDM), and a 110 unit single family project (Bren-Osgood) westerly across Tustin Ranch Road. PROJECT DESCRIPTION/SITE PI.AN Submitted development plans for the project propose construction of 110 two-story single family attached dwelling units and can be characterized as townhouse type units. There wi l not be any stacked units. The proposed projects includes three unit types ranging in size from 1422 to 1777 square feet. Units are grouped in six (6) building types varing from two (.2) to six {6) units each. There will be 15-two bedroom units, 37 units with City Council Report December 21, 1987 Vesting Tentative Tract 13106 Page two two bedrooms and a den, and 58 units with three bedrooms. The project is proposed at a density of 10.8 dwelling units per acre although the East Tustin Specific Plan authorizes up to 18 dwelling units per acre. Main access to the project will be provided from the southside of Lagier Way at approximately a mid-point location between Tustin Ranch Road and Heritage Way and will also be aligned with proposed access to a project immediately to the north. However, the typical section for the proposed entrance driveway is incorrectly drawn. Although plans currently indicate only a 35 foot roadway width from curb to curb, a 44 foot wide paved access driveway is required by the Public Works Department (20 feet for ingress and 24 feet for egress). On-site circulation will be provided from 28 foot wide private streets and a series of smaller 25 foot wide private drives which will provide adequate access for trash pick-up, police, and fire services. Proposed internal streets and drives provide access to a total of 275 parking spaces which include two enclosed garage spaces per dwelling unit and 55 open guest parking spaces with a parking ratio provided of 2.5 spaces per unit. Internal roadway circulation is also supplemented by internal pedestrian walkways. Other features of the project can be summarized as follows: A split face concrete block sound attenuation wall consistent with the theme wall approved with with Tract Map 12763 will be installed along Tustin Ranch Road. A matching block wall will be installed surrounding the site along Lagier, Heritage Way and E1 Modena-Irvine Channel wi th a mi nor modification. At 3 internal locations along Lagier Way and at one location along Heritage Way, a portion of the block wall wil be replaced with a wrought iron fence. In the event patio walls along the E1 Modena-Irvine Channel are installed over the Flood Control District easement, the existing chain link fence will to be removed, and staff will require that appropriate permits be obtained from the Orange County Flood Control District and City of Tustin Public Works Department. A pedestrian paseo shall be provided along Tustin Ranch Road to meet Orange County Transportation requirements at the southwest portion of the project. The design and location of said paseo shall be subject to approval of the Director of Community Development. ARCHITECTURAL AND LANDSCAPING DESIGN II Similar to other recently approved projects, proposed architectural design for this project will introduce elements of the Early California style. More specifically, proposed architectural features will include use of textured stucco, exposed wood beams and trim treatment, and spanish red tile roofs. The proposed architecture is consistent with the desired East Tustin Ranch Style. Corn rnunity DeveloPment DeparTment Ct ty Council Report December 21, 1987 Vesting Tentative Tract 13106 Page three ISSUES Location of Proposed Storm Drain Easement - In conjunction with a recent lot line adjustment to enlarge the proposed elementary school to be located along the southeast portion of the project, a private storm drain servicing the project is proposed to be located on the expanded school site so as to connect with a proposed public storm drain easement. Although the School District has been sent a copy of the proposed design, no response has been received to date. In the event the District is not favorable to the design of the private storm drain, staff wishes to have the flexibility to review alternative solution subject to review and approval of all responsible agencies (ie. Public Works, etc.). Condition 1.7 of Exhibit A to Commission Resolution No. 2459 provides such flexibility. School Facilities - The Community Development Department did not receive correspondence o6" comment from the Tustin Unified School District concerning Tentative Tract Map 13106. Environmental Analysis - Based upon review of the subject map as well as Environmental In~act Report 85-2 '(as supplemented) it has been determined that environmental issues relating to this project have previously been addressed. Also, appropriate mitigating measures identified in EIR 85-2 are included as conditions of approval for the project. With this information in mind, it is recommended that the City Council make the finding that requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act have been met and that no further environmental review is required. CONCLUSION Since the proposed project meets requirements of the Tustin Specific Plan, the Subdivision Map Act, the City's Subdivision Ordinance, and the California Environmental Quality Act it is recommended that the City Council approve the Environmental Determination for the project and Vesting Tentative Tract Map 13106 by adoption of the attached Resolutions 87-15 1 and 87-152. _ ~~ S,.?~vi ~, ~' l anner JSD:CAS'pef.
