Cabernet Townhomes will also feature a large landscaped common area, a picnic/play area and half-court basketball court which will encourage and enhance community interaction. This landscaped common area will provide the complex with a large open turf area for activities. The c000mon areas will be located within the center of the complex which will provide visual security to the area and the adjacent half-court basketball court. Each unit will offer a wide range of amenities, including a front-entry porch, an enclosed patio area, washers and dryers in each unit, central heat and air, interior and exterior storage areas and individual 30 or 40-gallon gas water heaters. All units will have kitchens with garbage disposals, oven/ranges, refrigerators and counters. Three bedroom units will have one and a half baths and the four bedroom townhomes will have two full baths. The floor coverings will be of stain-resistant carpeting with vinyl floors at the entry, kitchen, bath and utility areas. The site plan is designed to complement and mix in with the surrounding neighborhood. ACLC has revised its plan on four occasions to accommodate requests from the neighboring community. The plan now features a row of two-bedroom flats along the south end of the project adjacent to the single-family homes along Del Rio. The existing trees along the east side of the property will be retained to the extent possible to provide mature vegetation and shade for the four-bedroom townhomes on the east side of the complex. Finally, all units will have back yard patio areas - the site plan calls for at least 15 foot back yards which far exceeds the zoning set-back minimum of five feet. The plan also now features reduced density to compared to the original plans. Instead of 36 units over 2.75 acres (when the single-family residence portion of the parcel was not included), ACLC has listened to the neighbor's concerns and has reduced the number of units to 33 and increased the acreage to 3.01 acres. The proposed project now will feature a density of 11 units per acre, which is close to the 10 unit per acre density of Towery Court which is located directly north of Cabernet Townhomes. The California Department of Transportation (CalTrans) is currently realigning traffic along Interstate 5 to the west of the development, so traffic along Plymouth Road will no longer enter the interstate near to the complex. Further, CalTrans is constructing a sound wall which will mitigate the sound impact upon the project. Cabernet Townhomes will complement surrounding neighborhood land uses. The project features an attactive townhome design, relatively low density for the zoning designation (C-R) and ample parking for the residents.
