Page 2 of 22
B. The proposal is consistent with the provisions of Title 8, Zoning Ordinance because: 1)
the project contributes to orderly, attractive, and harmonious site and structural
development compatible with the existing site lay out and subdivision mapping and
blends well with the surrounding properties; and 2) the project complies with the
development regulations set forth in the Zoning Ordinance where applicable.
C. The design of the project is appropriate to the City, the vicinity, surrounding properties,
and the lot in which the project is proposed because: 1) the project augments the
architectural style offerings in the vicinity; 2) the size and mass of the proposed houses
are consistent with the lot sizes and other residential developments in the surrounding
area; 3) the project will supply unique and varied floor plan options and enhanced
elevations on the corner lots; and 4) the project will provide more design offerings
contributing to a more "custom" look of Schaefer Ranch.
D. The subject site is suitable for the type and intensity of the approved development
because: 1) the lots have already been subdivided to conform with the General Plan
and the Planned Development Zoning Stage 2 Development Plan for this area; and 2)
the proposed homes to be developed on the property meet all of the development
standards established to regulate development in Schaefer Ranch.

proposed project site is already subdivided, 2) the infrastructure has been constructed
including streets and utilities, 3) all grading is complete, and 4) retaining walls will be
constructed to establish the required lot size and building envelope.
F. Architectural considerations including the character, scale and quality of the design, site
lay out, the architectural relationship with the site and other buildings, screening of
unsightly uses, lighting, building materials and colors and similar elements result in a
project that is harmonious with its surroundings and compatible with other developments
in the vicinity because: 1) the proposed houses will utilize 4 of the approved
architectural style standards established in the Schaefer Ranch Planned Development
Plan; 2) the materials referenced in the approved Architectural Standards will be utilized;
3) the homes when constructed will blend with and be similar to homes already being
constructed in the general vicinity; and 4) the color and materials proposed are similar
and complementary to colors and material being utilized on homes currently being
constructed in the vicinity.
G. Landscape considerations, including the location, type, size, color, texture and coverage
of plant materials, and similar elements have been incorporated into the project to
ensure visual relief, adequate screening and an attractive environment for the public
because: 1) all perimeter landscaping, walls, fences and hardscape are proposed for
construction in accordance with the master plan; and 2) the project front yard
landscaping and sideyard fencing is consistent with other developments currently under
construction in the vicinity and conform to the requirements of the Stage 2 Development
Plan and the Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance.

pedestrians, and automobiles because: 1) all infrastructure including streets, parkways,
pathways, sidewalks, and streetlighting are constructed in accordance with the master
plan; and 2) development of this project will conform to the major improvements already
installed allowing residents the safe and efficient use of these facilities.
