4. Requiring both the R-M and R-MH zones of Specific Plan 111 north of Grant Line Road to be developed with a variety of attached and detached homes, generally ranging in size from approximately 1,300 to 2,600 square feet. Other changes to Specific Plan 111 to implement the proposed development include: 1)eliminating the minimum lot size requirements in the R-MH zoning district; 2)clarifying that private recreation facilities will be provided within the 'larger', as opposed to all, R-MH and R-H residential areas; 3) requiring (with specified exceptions)that children's play areas or pocket parks in multifamily developments with 75 or more units be completed no later than the time at which 80% of the dwelling units for the adjacent sub-neighborhood, tract, or other relevant area have been issued building permits; 4)clarifying that two Medium-High Density Residential areas, rather than two Multi-Family Residential areas,will provide higher density housing opportunities in Specific Plan III; and 5) specifying that the design theme for Neighborhood D shall be ltalianate. In addition to the above, there are a number of technical changes to Specific Plan 111 that are applicable to the proposed development, as well as to future projects in the Specific Plan III area. These include: 1) modifying the exception allowing a zero side setback in the R-M zone by reducing the building separation requirement(between the building on the subject lot and the building on the adjacent lot)from 10 feet to 8 feet; 2)modifying the exception allowing a zero rear setback by reducing the building separation requirement(between single story garages and accessory buildings located on the rear third of the subject lot, and any structure on the adjacent lot)from 10 to 8 feet; 3) simplifying the corner lot side setback requirement by specifying that it is equal to the normal side setback requirement plus 5 feet, in all residential zones; 4)adding a footnote concerning building separation and side yard requirements in the R-M zone and in the R-M small lot zone making said requirements the same as the R-M requirements outside of Specific Plan Ili; 5) excluding from the corner lot category those lots siding on pedestrian paseos, Homeowners'Association (HOA)landscape parcels, and street rights-of-way that include a minimum of 5 feet landscaping adjacent to the subject parcel; 6)allowing, in instances where "Standard Lot Size" may not be applicable, "Average Lot Size"to substitute for"Standard Lot Size" for lots in the small lot R-M zone in order to calculate Maximum Livable Area; 7) requiring no less than 15% of R-M zoned small lots (i.e., lots within a subdivision tract in the R-M zone that have a standard lot size of less than 3,600 square feet)that are covered by a Model Home Master Plan to be subject to the Maximum Livable Area criteria; 8)expanding the table concerning the number of plans in a Model Home Master Plan, including defining the minimum and maximum percentages for the use of one plan; and 9) specifying that lotting patterns in Specific Plan III 'may' include standard front driveway lots, corner side driveway lots, etc. The Specific Plan Amendment would also require Spanish Colonial to be the design theme for Neighborhood AIB. The above changes would affect numerous sections, tables, and figures of the Specific III document. (See Appendix 3.) Mountain House Development Title Text Amendment. The Mountain House Development Title Text Amendment mirrors the proposed regulatory changes specified by the Specific Plan III Amendment. The Mountain House Development Title Amendment would make numerous changes to Table 9-310.3MCP, which is applicable only to the Specific Plan III area. These changes include: 1) permitting different setback, separation, building coverage, and height requirements for new residential development if the specific lot type/product design criteria for said residential development is included as part of a Special Purpose Plan;2)eliminating minimum lot size requirements in the R-MH zoning district; 3)modifying the exception allowing a zero side setback in the R-M zone by reducing the building separation requirement(between the building on the subject lot and the building on the adjacent lot)from 10 feet to 8 feet; 4) modifying the exceptions allowing a zero rear setback by reducing the building separation requirement (between single story garages and accessory buildings located on the rear third of the subject lot, and any structure on the adjacent lot)from 10 to 8 feet; 5)simplifying the corner lot side setback requirement by specifying that it is equal to the normal side setback requirement plus 5 feet, in all 4
