Item No . <br /> PC : 7-2-87 <br /> SU-87-21 <br /> Page 4 <br /> STAFF ANALYSIS <br /> POLICY CONSIDERATIONS : <br /> General Plan: <br /> The subdivision is being developed under the Rural Residential <br /> Land Use designation. The Rural Residential principles in the <br /> General Plan state that new rural residential development <br /> should have provision for adequate drainage . Although a com- <br /> munity drainage pond has been proposed, the Department of <br /> Public Works indicates that the pond appears to be undersized. <br /> Unless supporting documentation is provided to demonstrate ade- <br /> quate drainage, the project is considered to be inconsistent <br /> with the Rural Residential principles. <br /> Zoning- <br /> The subject property is zoned RR-65 , which requires a net lot <br /> size of 65 , 000 square feet . All proposed lots meet this mini- <br /> mum standard. Under the recently adopted ordinance which <br /> implements the County Development Policies, Rural Residential <br /> lots less than two acres are required to have community water <br /> and storm drainage systems . The Hempstead Court Tentative Map <br /> application was accepted as complete prior to adoption of the <br /> ordinancew and is, therefore, permitted to develop under the <br /> previous standards. The applicant , however , has proposed a <br /> community storm drainage system. <br /> AREA/NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY: <br /> The project site is within the New Jerusalem Rural Residential <br /> Area and is one of the few remaining sites within the area which <br /> can accommodate new subdivision lots (refer to Land Use Map) . <br /> Traffic Circulation: <br /> The applicant proposes to serve the subdivision with a cul-de- <br /> sac street (Edna Court ) directly from Koster Road. Section <br /> 9-9353 of the Planning Code requires that subdivisions be <br /> designed so that any lot may be reached by alternate routes . <br /> This section also requires that where a residential subdivision <br /> abuts an undeveloped area designated for residential develop- <br /> ment , stub streets shall be provided to serve the adjacent <br /> area. The proposed subdivision does not meet these require- <br /> ments . The provision for a stub street to the south is con- <br /> sidered necessary because the proposed project is adjacent to a <br /> 10-acre site which can develop as RR-65 with access from Piper <br />
