Architectural Review Committee Subject MEMORANDUM TO: ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW NO. 15-013; DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR 22 NEW SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCES IN TRACT 3048 (HEIGHTS AT VISTA DEL MAR); LOCATION - TURMINUS OF CASTlLLO DEL MAR; APPLICANT1 REPRESENTATIVE -JASON BLANKENSHIP DATE: NOVEMBER 2,2015 RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) consider the proposed Design Guidelines for the Heights at Vista Del Mar (HVDM) and make a recommendation to the Community Development Director. BACKGROUND: Location: ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE CONSIDERATION OF ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW NO. 15-013 HVDM DESIGN GUIDELINES NOVEMBER 2,2015 PAGE 2 The project site is located just south of the Vista Del Mar residential development and is 48.74 acres in size. The County of San Luis Obispo considered several development proposals for this property over the past twenty-four years, and ultimately approved Tract 3048 on December 12, 2013. On March 25, 2014, the City Council amended the City's Land Use Map to designate the subject property as Low Density (LD) Residential. On April 8, 2014, the City prezoned the property to Residential Hillside (RH) and approved the initiation of proceedings for annexation of the property. The Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) approved the annexation on August 21,4014. The approved project includes twenty-two (22) residential lots of approximately 1.0 to 2.15 acres in size, one 14.9-acre common open space parcel (non-buildable), and one 0.85-acre common lot (detention basin). Building envelopes are delineated for each residential lot, ranging in size from approximately 0.24 to 1.3 acres. The single-family residential lots will either be sold to individual owners and developed independently or constructed by a development company and sold as-built. The developer is in the process of installing public improvements for the project in order to final the subdivision map. ANALYSIS OF ISSUES: The Conditions of Approval for Tract 3048 require that prior to issuance of grading permit, "the applicant shall submit design guidelines for review and approval by the Architectural Review Committee. The guidelines shall include architectural, site planning and landscaping concepts. The design guidelines shall be used in the City's plan review process to review compliance with water conservation and stormwater requirements and to encourage the highest level of design quality while providing flexibility necessary to encourage creativity on the parf of the project designer." HVDM Design Guidelines: The proposed design guidelines for the project include site development standards, architectural design standards, landscape design standards, information about the design review process (for the Homeowners Association, not the City), an appendix with design details and example forms. The proposed design guidelines are included as Attachment 1 and the Draft HVDM CC&Rs are included as Attachment 2. Staff has noted many typographical errors, but the focus of this review is on the adequacy of the document to satisfy the condition stated above. The Committee might also consider how these homes might look from a distance (public viewshed) and whether stricter design requirements on certain lots would be warranted (e.g. only earth tone colors and specific architectural designs for lots seen from U.S. Highway 101). Architectural Review Committee Per the guidelines, an Architectural Review Committee (HOA ARC) will be formed from volunteer citizens residing in the development who will review project plans for individual homes and any changes to the exterior of units. Note that the guidelines do not include City ARC review of individual homes. However, the condition stated above requires the design guidelines to be used in the City's "plan review process" for ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE CONSIDERATION OF ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW NO. 15-013 HVDM DESIGN GUIDELINES NOVEMBER 2,2015 PAGE 3 compliance with water' conservation, stormwater and design related requirements. Staff interprets this condition to mean that all new individual residential development and landscape plans must be reviewed by the ARC through the City's Architectural Review process, and therefore the Design Guidelines should be amended accordingly. Site Development Standards This section of the Design Guidelines is divided into the following subsections: Site Preparation Topography & Drainage * Retaining & Foundation Walls * Building Setbacks Building Height, Mass & Scale 0 Privacy, Views, Light and Air Parking and Access Game Courts Duplicate Building Plans Staff has the following comments for this section: 0 Additional subsections regarding water conservation, stormwater management and energy efficiency should be included. o Water conservation - include discussion on water efficient plumbing fixtures, smart irrigation controllers, plumbing for grey water, instant water heaters, etc. o Stormwater management - include discussion of stormwater best management practices (BMPs), such as detention basins, bioretention planter boxes, rain barrels, rain gardens, dry wells, disconnected downspouts, etc. o Energy efficiency - include discussion on passive solar design, installing solar panels, high-efficiency windows, solar water heaters, compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) for outdoor lighting, efficient HVAC systems, etc. 0 After the first paragraph under Site Development Standards and before discussion of Site Preparation (p. 7), add the following: o "For Lots 3-10, no development (except fences) or uses are allowed within the open space easement. No buildings, structures, grading, filling or other improvements shall occur within this area. Owners shall not cut, injure or remove any vegetation from this area except for fire protection, elimination of diseased growth and similar health and safety protective measures as approved by the City." (This language is from the approved Open Space Agreement). o Also include a clarification that the above means "all accessory structures, including gazebos, decks, etc., are not allowed in the open space easement. " Under Topography & Drainage (p. 7): o Replace "San Luis Obispo" with "City of Arroyo Grande". o Delete reference to the County of San Luis Obispo ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE CONSIDERATION OF ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW NO. 15-013 HVDM DESIGN GUIDELINES NOVEMBER 2,201 5 PAGE 4 e Under Building Height, Mass & Scale (p. 9): o Concern that the minimum floor area of all residences, not including the garage, is 3,500 square feet. It is staff's opinion that there should be an opportunity for smaller homes to be built in this subdivision. o The maximum height of any structure is 30', not 35'. o The second graphic is not legible. Under Game Courts (p. 11): o Fence height for game courts cannot exceed 6' without either a City approved Minor Exception or Variance. Delete reference to 16' maximum. Architectural Design Standards This section is divided into the following subsections: e Architectural Character-Design Examples e Building Forms and Massing 8 General Design Requirements e Exterior Elevations Roof Design Requirements e Gutters, Downspouts, Vents and Flashing Materials of Construction (exterior siding; awnings; patio covers and arbors; roof materials; doors and windows; exterior colors; lighting; mechanical equipment, utilities, trash containers and signs) Staff has the following comments for this section: 8 Under Architectural Character-Design Examples (p. 12-26): o The Design Guidelines specify many architectural design examples, including California Mission, Chateauesque, Spanish Colonial, Contemporary, Modern Craftsman, French Country, Georgian, TuscanIMediterranean, ltalianate, New American, Norman, Ranch, Southwest or Pueblo, Spanish, Tudor, and Victorian. Staff requests that the ARC consider these examples and determine if all of them are acceptable. o It appears that some of the design examples conflict with the images on p. 27 regarding building form and architectural detailing. Under Materials of Construction: o In the lighting discussion (p. 32), add 'br onto adjacent properties" at the end of the last sentence. Landscape Design Standards This section is divided into the following subsections: e Planting Material e Hardscape Landscape Structures e Fencing and Garden Walls ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE CONSIDERATION OF ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW NO. 15-013 HVDM DESIGN GUIDELINES NOVEMBER 2,201 5 PAGE 5 Staff has the following comments for this section: m In the second paragraph before discussion of the subsections (p. 33), it should read "Drought resistant plants shall be used for all landscaping improvements, and the use of turf grass is highly discouraged. All landscaping shall comply with State and City requirements for water efficient landscaping." Under Planting Material (p. 34): o The fifth paragraph should read "All turf areas are not to exceed 25% of the total landscape area or 500 square feet, whichever is more restrictive. All landscapes shall meet the requirements of the City's Municipal Code Chapter 16.84 (as contained in the California Code of regulations Title 23 Waters, Division 2, Department of Water Resources, Chapter 2.7 Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance, Sections 490 et. seq.)"

  • Vascular Plant Survey of Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve, Malawi
    YIKA-VWAZA TRUST RESEARCH STUDY REPORT N (2017/18) Vascular Plant Survey of Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve, Malawi By Sopani Sichinga ([email protected]) September , 2019 ABSTRACT In 2018 – 19, a survey on vascular plants was conducted in Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve. The reserve is located in the north-western Malawi, covering an area of about 986 km2. Based on this survey, a total of 461 species from 76 families were recorded (i.e. 454 Angiosperms and 7 Pteridophyta). Of the total species recorded, 19 are exotics (of which 4 are reported to be invasive) while 1 species is considered threatened. The most dominant families were Fabaceae (80 species representing 17. 4%), Poaceae (53 species representing 11.5%), Rubiaceae (27 species representing 5.9 %), and Euphorbiaceae (24 species representing 5.2%). The annotated checklist includes scientific names, habit, habitat types and IUCN Red List status and is presented in section 5. i ACKNOLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, let me thank the Nyika–Vwaza Trust (UK) for funding this work. Without their financial support, this work would have not been materialized. The Department of National Parks and Wildlife (DNPW) Malawi through its Regional Office (N) is also thanked for the logistical support and accommodation throughout the entire study. Special thanks are due to my supervisor - Mr. George Zwide Nxumayo for his invaluable guidance. Mr. Thom McShane should also be thanked in a special way for sharing me some information, and sending me some documents about Vwaza which have contributed a lot to the success of this work. I extend my sincere thanks to the Vwaza Research Unit team for their assistance, especially during the field work.

  • Plant Common Name Scientific Name Description of Plant Picture of Plant
    Plant common name Description of Plant Picture of Plant Scientific name Strangler Fig The Strangler Fig begins life as a small vine-like plant Ficus thonningii that climbs the nearest large tree and then thickens, produces a branching set of buttressing aerial roots, and strangles its host tree. An easy way to tell the difference between Strangle Figs and other common figs is that the bottom half of the Strangler is gnarled and twisted where it used to be attached to its host, the upper half smooth. A common tree on kopjes and along rivers in Serengeti; two massive Fig trees near Serengeti; the "Tree Where Man was Born" in southern Loliondo, and the "Ancestor Tree" near Endulin, in Ngorongoro are significant for the local Maasai peoples. Wild Date Palm Palms are monocotyledons, the veins in their leaves Phoenix reclinata are parallel and unbranched, and are thus relatives of grasses, lilies, bananas and orchids. The wild Date Palm is the most common of the native palm trees, occurring along rivers and in swamps. The fruits are edible, though horrible tasting, while the thick, sugary sap is made into Palm wine. The tree offers a pleasant, softly rustling, fragrant-smelling shade; the sort of shade you will need to rest in if you try the wine. Candelabra The Candelabra tree is a common tree in the western Euphorbia and Northern parts of Serengeti. Like all Euphorbias, Euphorbia the Candelabra breaks easily and is full of white, candelabrum extremely toxic latex. One drop of this latex can blind or burn the skin.

  • Choosing Flowering Shrubs for Landscape Color
    A WORD OR TWO ABOUT GARDENING Staying Green while Conserving Water in Miami-Dade: Choosing Flowering Shrubs for Landscape Color John McLaughlin1 Introduction Miami-Dade like many other Florida counties is committed to achieving more effective use of available water resources.
