Item No. 3 PC: 7-2-87 SU-87-21 Page 4 STAFF ANALYSIS POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: General Plan: The subdivision is being developed under the Rural Residential Land Use designation. The Rural Residential principles in the General Plan state that new rural residentlEl development should have provision for adequate drainage (refer to discussion under "Storm Drainage" ) . Zoning• The subject property is zoned RR-65, which requires a net lot size of 65,000 square feet. All proposed lots meet this mini- mum standard. Under the recently adopted ordinance which implements the County Development Policies:, Rural Residential lots less than two acres are required to have community water and storm drainage systems. The Hempstead Court Tentative Map application was accepted as complete prior to adoption of the ordinance and is, therefore, permitted to develop under the previous standards. AREA/NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY: The project site is within the New Jerusalem Rural Residential Area and is one of the few remaining sites within the area which can accommodate new subdivision lots (refer to General Plan and Land Use Maps) . Traffic Circulation (Background) : In 1978, the Planning Commission considered a "street plan" for the New Jerusalem Rural Residential Area. The basic concept of this plan was to serve residential development with cul-de- sac streets as opposed to "loop" or "through" streets. Although the street plan was adopted by the Planning Commission, it was not forwarded to the Board of Supervisors for consideration as a Specific Road Plan. It was, however, considered during approval of the Altamirano subdivision west of the project site. Copies of the pertinent documents related to the street plan are included in this staff report at Attachment No. 1 . Traffic Circulation (Current Proposal) : The applicant proposes to serve the subdivision with a cul-de- sac street (Edna Court) directly from Koster Road. Section
