Item 4a
ARCH-0118-2022 (3805 Orcutt)
Architectural Review Commission Report – September 19, 2022
Design Details: Each architectural style provides a variety of design details for each plan
type and style, such as roof forms, balconies and porches, fascia, eaves, entries, outdoor
use areas, and decorative accents. Project Plan Excerpts (Attachment A) include
representative renderings for the basic plans, with the full set of drawings available in the
Reading File for this hearing. Further discussion of project design and its consistency with
standards and guidelines of the Orcutt Area Specific Plan and Community Design
Guidelines is provided below (see §§4.1 & 4.2).
Materials: A range of primary exterior materials is used for homes throughout Enclave at
Righetti, predominantly smooth and textured stucco, along with hardboard and stone and
brick veneer on Farmhouse and Modern plans. Roofing is concrete tile (“s-profile” or flat)
for most designs, except for asphalt shingle on Modern plans, and wood is used on fascia
and detail elements (beams, rafter tails, trim).
Colors: Color palettes are described in plans (see pages 15–23, Attachment A) employ
combinations of white, tan, brown, bronze, grey, and black tones, along with reddish clay
roofing and brick colors.
3.0 FOCUS OF REVIEW
Architectural Review of the residential building program for Enclave at Righetti is focused
on the consistency of the development with applicable standards and guidelines in the
City’s Community Design Guidelines and in Chapter 4 of the Orcutt Area Specific Plan.
Condition of Approval #109 of Council Resolution No. 10619 (2015) approving Vesting
Tentative Tract Map No. 3063 (Righetti) provides for ARC review and comment on the
residential building program, for recommendation to the Community Development
Director, who will make final determinations on building design.

4.0 DISCUSSION ITEMS
Staff has reviewed the building program against the relevant standards and guidelines
from the above documents and provide a brief discussion of its consistency with
applicable design standards below. Minor deviations from those standards and guidelines
depicted in plans are also identified, and these will be considered with fina l action by the
Director on this application.

Item 4a
ARCH-0118-2022 (3805 Orcutt)
Architectural Review Commission Report – September 19, 2022
4.1 Orcutt Area Specific Plan
Building development standards are identified in Table 3.1 (Residential Development
Standards) of the Orcutt Area Specific Plan (OASP), attached to this report as
Attachment B, and Design Standards and Design Guidelines are set out in Chapter 4 of
the Plan (Community Design).
Access and Parking. A variety in configuration of driveway and attached or detached
garages is provided. The detached garage configurations resemble the “side -drive
design” described in Design Guideline (DG) 2.3, except that the detached garages are
not placed behind the houses, whereas attached garages are slightly recessed behind
the front wall plane of the house. The proposed plans use neither alley nor parking court
arrangements, due to the size and configuration of lots in this phase of the subdivision.
Landscaping. Street landscaping and street trees are provided by the developer as pa rt
of the Tract’s Public Improvement Plan, and individual homeowners will be required by
Homeowner Association (HOA) rules to install landscaping and irrigation for their
individual lot, subject to review and approval by the HOA, within six months of completing
the home purchase. Front Yard Landscape Design Guidelines (Attachment C) provide
guidance for acceptable plantings and hardscape materials (DG 3.2).

Item 4a
ARCH-0118-2022 (3805 Orcutt)
Architectural Review Commission Report – September 19, 2022
Building Placement, Walls, and Fences. Placement of structures takes advantage of
available solar access, as practicable given the configuration and dimension of the lots in
the subdivision, and the presence of Righetti Hill at the southern boundary of the
development (DG 2.5). The Specific Plan provides for zero- to five-foot side setbacks,
with ten-foot street side setbacks on corner lots. Solid wood privacy fences between lots
and perimeter fencing around the development will be installed by the applicant (see
Walls and Fencing exhibit (Attachment D), to be included depicted in final construction
plans, consistent with applicable height limits for Walls and.
Building Design, Elements, Materials. Of the 26 homes, 18 are two story in height and
eight (about 44%) are of a single-story (DG 3.6). House plans include Front Porches and
Covered Entries (DG 3.4). They exhibit variety in façade elements, surface materials, roof
details and materials, and color palette to enhance visual interest (DG 3.7 – 3.10).
Standard or Guideline Consistency Note
Table 3.1 Residential Development Standards
Lot Coverage Coverage slightly exceeds 40% (by less than two
percent) for two single-story dwellings; Three hillside
homes exceed this limit by one to eight percent, to
compensate for more stringent height limits on the upper
floor of the split-pad homes.
Front Setback
House Homes on three lots encroach three to five feet into the
15-foot front setback.
Garage, carport Side-loaded garages on three lots encroach five feet into
setback. Detached garages are typically not recessed
behind houses.
Rear Setback
House Houses on eleven lots encroach between four and ten
feet into rear setbacks
Building Height. Buildings in the R-1 Zone are typically limited to 25-feet in height, and
two homes are shown to exceed this by 30 inches. The applicant describes variation in
roof pitch as a tool for creating additional variety. Staff notes that standards (Zoning
Regulations §17.16.020) allow such encroachment for steeply pitched roof peaks.
Page 12 of 52
Item 4a
ARCH-0118-2022 (3805 Orcutt)
Architectural Review Commission Report – September 19, 2022
Lot Coverage, Setbacks. Staff notes that development proposed on several lots exhibits
minor deviations from applicable Specific Plan standards for Lot Coverage, Front Setback
to House, Front Setback to Garage, and Rear Setback to House, and plans for several
lots do not depict garages recessed behind houses. The applicant has provided a
narrative description in support of these deviations (see Attachment E), describing the
objective to achieve variety, employ compact footprint dimensions to p rovide more
useable customized private side yard spaces between properties, and to achieve a
diverse streetscape, as opposed to simply lining up home plans in a row.
4.2 Community Design Guidelines
Standard or Guideline Consistency Note
Chapter 2 – General Design Principles
§ 2.2 – Building Design Proportion, interest, details, and materials
addressed by design of the buildings for
consistency with Orcutt Area Specific
Plan Policies and Guidelines
Chapter 5 – Residential Project Design
§ 5.2 – General Residential Project
Principles
Governed by Specific Plan Policies and
Guidelines
§ 5.5 – Single Family Housing Design Variety in detail, size, massing, provided;
Attached garages are recessed behind
dwellings.
The Design Standards and Guidelines of the Orcutt Area Specific Plan address the
majority of design elements covered by the City’s Community Design Guidelines. Design
of the proposed homes in accordance with those guidelines also achieves consistency
with Community Design Guidelines.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The residential building program for Enclave at Righetti is consistent with the certified
Final EIR for the Orcutt Area Specific Plan and with the adopted Mitigated Negative
Declaration for the Righetti Vesting Tentative Tract Map.
6.0 ACTION ALTERNATIVES
6.1 Recommend that the Community Development Director find the residential building
program for Enclave at Righetti consistent with applicable design standards and
guidelines set out in the City’s Community Design Guidelines, Orcutt Area Specific
Plan, including any related recommendations for conditions of final approval.
6.2 Continue the project to a hearing date certain, or uncertain. An action continuing
the application should include direction to the applicant and staff on pertinent issues.

Architectural Review Commission Report – September 19, 2022
6.3 Recommend that the Community Development Director deny the application, based
on specific findings citing the basis for denial with reference to inconsistency with
the City’s General Plan, Orcutt Area Specific Plan, Community Design Guidelines,
Zoning Regulations, or other policy documents.

Enclave at Righetti
Righetti Ranch
Walter:
Thank you for your effort generating the application for The Enclave at Righetti. Hoping to give guidance,
this letter is intended to provide a general overview of the project design objectives pertaining to building
sizes and locations on the individual lots.
Our objective for the flat pad sites was to assemble a group of modestly sized buildings arranged on
individual lots using a variety of floor plan types. Floor plans were designed to allow garages to be
detached from the Living areas, in a deliberate effort to reduce overall footprint dimensions. Utilizing
compact footprints provides an opportunity to customize open space opportunities between neighboring
properties. Rather than have long unusable side yards, we have attempted to “activate” the yards in
response to each building layout. Courtyard opportunities are created and four-sided architecture is
provided.
Approximately 75% of the flat pad parcels have detached garages (more than 50% of the overall lots).
There are seven different detached garage designs assigned to nineteen lots. The garage designs vary
from single story to two story with Carriage Units above. Taking into consideration the variety of building
styles and color schemes, no two lots will be the same.
The decision to detach garages, and to provide Carriage Units, comes at considerable expense in terms
of construction costs. It is much simpler to attach the garages and provide one continuous roof over a
large footprint. Our belief is that the additional expense will create a much more interesting community
with smaller buildings and usable private open space.
We have embraced a design solution that depends on the flexibility of the Zoning Code.
There are lots where we have suggested a garage location forward of the Main House. Pushing the
house back on the parcel may give us a better yard relationship with the neighboring property. We are
also responding to topography while minimizing the use of site walls. The ability to rotate the main house
on any given lot (small footprint) and mix up garage massing creates a much more diverse street scape.
The alternative solution occurs on lots 27 thru 33 where the homes are all lined up in a row.
Floor plan design enabled rotation of the glass doors in the Great Room from side to rear walls,
depending on the orientation. Our goal has been to provide a covered patio off each Great Room.
Instances occur where the covered patio encroaches into a required side or rear yard setback. These
may be preferred locations for adjacent lots based upon their collective layouts, taking into consideration
privacy, optimizing view and open space opportunities.

Project Overview
An additional objective was to find complimentary architectural styles that could respond to the compact
nature of the footprints. Vernaculars that expressed local construction materials and methods are used to
reinforce scale and authenticity. Variation in roof pitches are an essential tool to create additional variety
in the overall neighborhood massing.
Our desire is to create a street scape and overall community with undulating buildings arranged
strategically to maximize site opportunities. The design approach has been to create twenty-six individual
custom homes rather than assemble traditional builder floor plans lined up in a row.
Lastly, please refer to the “Lot Compliance Summary” table included in the architectural package. The
purpose of the summary is to annotate locations where zoning code sections have been applied to justify
the arrangement of structures on each site.
Thank you for your review of these comments. Please feel free to contact me directly with any additional
questions or concerns.
