Davidson Communities - Product Review IPA03-0725) - Roripauah Ranch Specific Plan
- Plannina Area 2
RECOMMENDATION:
15.1 Adopt a resolution entitled:
RESOLUTION NO. 04-89
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
TEMECULA UPHOLDING THE APPLICANT'S APPEAL OF A
CONDITION OF APPROVAL TO ELIMINATE A PORTION OF
THE SECOND STORY OVER THE ENTRY FOR PLAN 2 FOR A

RESIDENCES WITHIN PLANNING AREA 2 OF THE
RORIPAUGH SPECIFIC PLAN LOCATED SOUTH OF
MURRIETA HOT SPRINGS AND WEST OF THE FUTURE
EXTENSION OF BUTTERFIELD STAGE ROAD AND KNOWN
AS TRACT MAP 29661-2
Planning Director Ubnoske reviewed the staff report (as per written material) and highlightt¡d
the Planning Commissioners' views of the proposed project, commenting on the Commission's
approval contingent upon the elimination of a portion of the second floor and advising of the
following:
. that the lot sizes are approximately 4,000 square feet
R:IMinutesl081 004
.
I .
.
.
.
that if the imposed condition were implemented approximately 169 square feet woluld
be eliminated from the proposed Plan 2
that originally staff had found this project inconsistent with the Specific Plan and had
placed an additional six to seven conditions of approval
that staff and the applicant were able to resolve each issue with the exception of the
one issue regarding the removal of a portion of the second story and because that was
a Planning Commission condition, staff is unable to negotiate this imposed condition
that the Commission's recommendation for a single-story appearance was not staff
driven
that staff has worked with the applicant to incorporate single-story elements
that the Specific Plan does not provide verbiage directing the construction of single-
story and two-story residences.
In response to Councilman Stone, Planning Commission Chairman Telesio apprised the
Councilmembers of the Planning Commission's discussion regarding this project, stating that
the two descending votes were more desirous of viewing the product with the elimination of a
portion of the second story; that the Commission expressed concern with creating a street ViHW
of solely two-story residences; and that because of the small lots, setbacks may not be
adjusted.
Understanding the constraints of the smaller lots, Mayor Pro Tem Comerchero suggest,ed
additional verbiage to the proposed Specific Plan amendment, implementing a matrix to
determine the number of single- or two-story family residences to lot size.
I
Mr. Kevin Everett, representing Ashby USA, Vista, provided background information with
regard to this project, noting the following:
.
that every lot of the first 509 lots located in the panhandle are the same size
that Davidson Communities had exceeded the design guidelines of those submitted by
other builders
that the removal of a portion of the second story would result in an 800 square foot
residence, which would not be saleable
that of the 509 residences (four builders) in the panhandle, 120 are single-story
residences; that this is the only builder to not propose a single-story.
.
Reiterating his suggestion to formulate a matrix to determine the number of single- or two-story
family residences to lot size, Mayor Pro Tem Comerchero commented on the need for both
single-story and two-story residences to which Mr. Everett voiced no opposition.
By way of oyerheads, Ms. Paula Lombardi, Del Mar, representing Davidson Communities, and
Mr. Todd Brazen, the architect for Davidson Communities, Solana Beach, relayed their
preference to not eliminate or relocate a portion of the second story on Plan 2, noting that the
elimination of a portion of the second story was not requested until the last Planning
Commission meeting; that the front-area articulation would not appear boxy; that Plan 1 and
Plan 3 will provide the one-story setback; that relocation of a portion of the second story to
above the two-car garage would create a boxy appearance; and that removing the bedroom
from the second story of Plan 2 would create a residence similar in square footage to Plan 1.
I
Councilman Washington questioned whether consideration had been given to increasing the
existing lot sizes.

To his recollection of the project, Chairman Telesio had expressed no concern with the
appearance of the rear elevation; noted that the Commission discussion entailed more the
removal of a portion of the second story versus relocation; and stated that if the portion WBre
relocated, he would prefer it to be relocated to the side of the building over the garage versus
its currently proposed location in an effort to create a varied front elevation with a single-story
appearance.
In response to Mayor Naggar, Assistant City Attorney Curley clarified that of the eight original
issues, the applicant has acquiesced to all but the one to eliminate a portion of the second
story.
At this time, Mayor Naggar opened the public hearing. There being no request to speak, the
public hearing was closed.
Considering the driving force for having the density in order to finance the needed
infrastructure improvements, understanding the builder's challenges with a small lot, and
realizing the need to provide sufficient square footage to allow the home to be marketable,
Councilman Stone expressed his understanding of the Commission's and the developer's point
of view. Mr. Stone voiced no concern with the front elevation, noting that the homes have
differing front elevation lines; opposed removing the second-story bedroom and adding it to the
garage, stating such a relocation would make the structure appear massive considering the
size of the lot and would not be architecturally pleasing. For other sections of Roripaugh,
Councilman Stone stated that the City Council will be demanding the single-story products but
relayed his support of this project.
Echoing Councilman Stone's comments and expressing his support of the Roripau,~h
negotiations, Councilman Washington expressed his support of the project.
Commenting on the constraints with a 4,000 square foot lot and the inability to construct a
second-story residence on such a lot, Mayor Pro Tem Comerchero, echoed by Councilman
Roberts, relayed his support of the project without any alteration to the second story.
City Manager Nelson expressed support of Mayor Pro Tem Comerchero's recommendation to
create a lot matrix to determine the number of allowable single- or two-story residences to lot
size during the Specific Plan amendment.
Echoing the comments made of his fellow City Councilmembers, Mayor Naggar stated that the
issue of product design is not an issue that should have been forwarded to the City Council
and would have preferred the applicant to have provided some design modifications/alterations
for the Planning Commission to considerlreview.
MOTION: Councilman Stone moved to uphold the appeal, to grant the applicant's request,
and to override the Planning Commission's condition to eliminate a portion of the second floor.
Councilman Roberts seconded the motion and electronic vote reflected unanimous approval.
