A. The proposed houses are consistent with PGA West Specific Plan and Zoning
Code.
The project is within the PGA West Resort, a master planned development of
5,000 single family houses. The site is designated Specific Plan Residential
SPR) under SP 83-002 Amendment #3) which permit single family
developments i.e., attached or detached housing units). All plans for future
single family homes shall be consistent with the provisions of the Specific Plan
and Zoning Code in effect at the time building permits are acquired. The
development of the project, as Conditioned, will be compatible with the
surrounding area because only one-story houses are being proposed and design
characteristics match other PGA West housing units.
B. The architectural design of the houses is consistent with other projects in the
vicinity.
Mediterranean style houses are proposed. The one-story houses, which range
in size from 2,201 to over 3,000 square feet, are compatible with adjacent
houses because the exterior materials to be used are stucco with concrete tile
roofing. Desert colors and different building facades for each prototype housing
unit create a diverse streetscape. Garage parking will be provided for each
house as required. Conditions are recommended to ensure the houses are built
to current Code standards when constructed.
C. The site design of each house shall be compatible with surrounding areas and
include prevalent site features.
The houses are plotted so that the front yard of the house is generally 20-feet
from the front property line with the backyards facing onto the golf course
fairways.
D. The site landscaping will complement the proposed buildings and create a
unifying influence for the community.
Each house will have front yard landscaping which will include trees, shrubs and
groundcover with on-site irrigation. The landscaping improvements will be
similar to adjacent attached and detached single family houses and be semi-
mature when installed. The location and design of the privacy walls shall be
consistent with other houses in the area i.e., masonry with stucco finish). The
proposed plant materials are acceptable for this climate zone and complement
other residential developments in the area.
