certifying that the structures are free of infestation and
structural damage caused by pests.
Should the units be initially occupied as apartment units, all
applicances shall either be replaced with new units or the initial
buyers provided with a one-year's parts and warranty guarantee on all
applicances.
The developer shall provide guarantees that a minimum of 10% of the
multi-family units in the project shall be maintained as rental units
for a period of five years. The document providing said agreement shall
be subject to review and approval by the City Attorney. Such 10% shall
be calculated, utilizing the number of units in Villages I, II, III, IV,
V and VII as a base (1019 proposed units for a commitment of 102 units
to the rental pool). Commencing with the date of issuance of an
occupancy permit on the 102nd multi-family unit within Villages I
through V, the developer shall guarantee that a minimum of 102 units
shall be available for rent at all times within the above Villages until
the Condition has been satisifed. This Condition may be met
individually within any one Village, or collectively over all the
affected Villages. Developer agrees that until the Condition has been
satisfied, there shall be no conversion of codominium units for sale
within Village V.
Minimal dimensional criteria for dwelling units established on the
single family residential lots in Village VI shall include the
following:
Front yards - 20-foot minimum; subject to review and approval by
the Planning Director, may be varied from 18 to 22
feet to provide variety while generally maintaining
the 20-foot average.
-19-
85.
86.
B. Side Yards -
1. One story units
- 5-foot minimum flat and useable each side
- 12-foot minimum street side Sideyard
2. Two story units
-5-foot minimum flat and useable each side
-15-foot minimum street side sideyard
C. Rear Yards - 20-foot minimum, to be generally flat and useable.
D. Pad Areas -
45' x 95' minimum, with the 45' width measured from
front setback line through to the rear of the lot.
In addition to the above, the design of single family residential units
developed shall provide for the maximum unit privacy through use of
building layouts which maximize useable side and rear yard areas with
offsets of windows and similar inter-building design Considerations.
The majority of the two-story units shall observe an additional front
yard setback requirement whereby the building face of the second story
shall observe a setback of an additional five feet ± from the building
face of the garage. Two'Story units shall generally avoid use of shed-
type roof designs, but rather shall generally utilize roof designs which
serve to mitigate possible visual impacts resulting from the height and
proximity of two-story units.
During the Site Development Review process, the developer may request
and be granted modifications from the above minimum rear yard
dimensional criteria in individual situations where such modifications
would add diversity to the project or privacy to individual units which,
in the discretion of the Planning Director, improves the overall design.
The builder shall maintain a minimum of 1,000 square feet of flat and
useable area within 80% of the rear yards and a minimum of 900 square
feet of flat and useable area within the remainder of the rear yards
through the selection of appropriate houses to fit individual lots.
Additionally, the developer shall investigate the feasibility of
steepening cut and fill slopes to increase the useable pad area without
impacting the stability of the slope design. The purpose of this
Condition is to encourage the proper matching of housing types to
individual lots and adjusting grades to increase useable area, but is
not intended to require a reduction in the number of lots during the
Site Development Review process.
Except as specifically modified by the above listed design criteria, or
as established elsewhere in the Conditions of Approval for this project,
the single family residential lots developed within Villages VI and VII
shall be subject to the guidelines of the R-1 Single Family Residential
District as regards both land use restrictions and minimum/maximum
development criteria.
To assure that adequate diversity of building architecture across the
project as a whole will be provided, individual Villages, or groupings
of contiguous Villages (i.e., Villages II and III as a grouping, and
Villages IV and V as a grouping) shall be designed in a manner to allow
them to stand alone with village-specific architectural features (such
as alternate types of roofing or siding materials, alternate use of open
or enclosed stairwells, etc.). Detailed design review of project
architecture shall be made at the time of submittal of the respective
Site Development Review applications for each proposed Village,
The minimum distances between buildings and building appurtenances in
the multi-family Villages shall comply with the following criteria:
The term "building wall" shall refer to the exterior side of building
walls containing heated space (with the exception of the enclosed entry

landings may be closer than 10 feet where privacy is not
compromised as approved by the Planning Director through the Site
Development Review process.
87.
The two easterly cross streets in Village VI shall be terminated in
cul-de-sacs. The applicant's engineer shall investigate the feasibility
of incorporating two additional cul-de-sacs, with emergency breakthrough
vehicular access inter-connection between the two cul-de-sacs, along the
most westerly proposed through street in Village VI (and subject to
Staff review of the Site DeveloPment Review for Village VI).
88.
The minimum width of the creek-side pedestrian walkway strip shall be 14
feet (measured from face-of-curb to the flood control maintenance fence)
for a minimum of 50% of the strip's frontage along Villages II through
V. Subject to review and approval by the Planning Director, this width
may be reduced to a minimum width of 10 feet for the remainder of the
referenced frontage. The pedestrian walkway strip shall include a 6-
foot minimumwidth concrete walkway which., wherever feasible, shall
meander within the creek-side walkway strip. The walkway shall also
