Subject property is located at 613 Indian Cove, within the Canyons at Bighorn. (APN 771-480-001) SUBMITTED BY: Ryan Stendell, Assistant Planner APPLICANT: Gordon Stein -Design Mind Studios 75-175 Merle Drive Palm Desert, CA 92211 CASE NO: DATE: CONTENTS: Recommendation: PPIHPD 06-15 December 14, 2006 A. Staff Recommendation B. Discussion C. Draft Resolution No.p6-162 D. Plans and Exhibits E. Ordinance 1046A That the City Council adopt Resolution No.06-162 approving a Precise Plan of design to allow the construction of a 9,110 square foot single-family home within the Hillside Planned Residential Zone. Executive Summary: The applicant is requesting approval of a precise plan to construct a new 9,110 square foot single-family home located in the foothills of the Santa Rosa Mountains within the Canyons at Bighorn. The home is 80' lower than the ridge to the east and cannot be seen from the City or adjacent developments. The project involves an existing graded pad of 37,953 square feet. Since the dwelling unit exceeds the allowed 4,000 square feet prescribed by the HPR zone, the house will require an exception. The exceptions section requires the Council to consider all circumstances including viewshed, topography, color, texture, and profile of any structure. The project's site design, architecture, color, materials, and landscaping effectively achieve the intent and purpose of the HPR zone and exception section. Staff Report PP/HPD 06-15 Page 2 December 14, 2006 Discussion: I. BACKGROUND: A. Ordinance No. 1046A: On May 13th, 2004, the City Council approved Ordinance Number 1046A, amending the development standards for the Hillside Planned Residential District. Some of the changes are: • Density: One (1) unit per five (5) acres. • Grading: Building Pad Area -maximum of 10,000 square feet. Access Road/Driveway-maximum of 3,000 square feet. • Maximum Dwelling Size: Total dwelling unit with garage and accessory building shall not exceed 4,000 square feet. • Exceptions: Standards of Section 25.15.030 A, B, and C may be modified by the precise plan of design, taking into consideration any and all circumstances, including, but not limited to, viewshed, topography, color, texture, and profile of any structure that the Planning Commission or City Council may approve. B. Property Description: The property is located within the Canyons at Bighorn, low on the mountain (80' lower than the ridge to the south). The pad has been rough graded to 37,953 square feet and is zoned Hillside Planned Residential (HPR) with a drainage, flood plains and watercourse overlay. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A. Precise Plan: The precise plan of design for this new home totals 9,110 square feet with a lower level garage totaling 1,500 square feet. The home covers approximately 25% of the gross area of the lot. Architecture/Design: The proposed single family home has been designed in Moorish Style Architecture. The home is built around a centrally located terrace system and lower level grand -courtyard. The architecture utilizes a combination of pitched roof and flat roof. Breezeways and corridors from patios into the house have intricate Moorish style stone arches. All colors utilized will be earth -tones and will blend with the hillside very well. Staff Report PP/HPD 06-15 Page 3 December 14, 2006 Landscaping/Re-naturalization: The landscape plan includes a wide variety of native trees, shrubs and vines. All disturbed areas will be re -naturalized with native plant materials per the landscape planting and re -naturalization plan. Energy Criteria: The City has recently adopted an energy conservation policy that has a goal of a 30% citywide reduction in energy use over a five-year period. The new policy will require homes in excess of 4,000 square feet to be designed to meet and exceed the 2005 California Building Energy Efficiency Standards by 15%. The applicant is aware of the City's draft energy ordinance and will design the home to meet the standards. III. ANALYSIS: Totaling 9,110 square feet, this house needs an exception because it exceeds the maximum dwelling unit size of 4,000 square feet. The Planning Commission and City Council have the ability to modify the standards based on viewshed, topography, color, texture, and architecture of the structure. The home is low on the mountain (80' lower than the ridge) and cannot be seen from the City. The diversity of rooflines and native colors will help the home blend into the natural terrain. The finish grading and landscaping will restore any hillside that was disturbed while cutting the pad. The intent and purpose of the HPR zone is to encourage architecture and landscaping design that blends into the natural terrain and protect viewsheds, and natural skylines within hillside areas. The superior architecture and landscaping of the proposed single family home meets the purpose and intent of the HPR zone and exception section. Staff Report PP/HPD 06-15 Page 4 December 14, 2006 IV.
