General Location: West side of Orcutt Road, about ½ mile north of Tank Farm Road. General Plan: Low Density Residential Specific Plan: Orcutt Area Specific Plan (R-1 Low Density Residential) Zoning: Low-Density Residential (R-1) Surrounding Uses: East: Suburban and Rural Residential West: Park, Low Density Residential North: Low Density Residential South: Open Space (Righetti Hill) 2.0 PROPOSED DESIGN Architecture. The homes proposed under this application have been designed in four basic house styles: Spanish, Farmhouse, Cottage, and Modern (see Project Plan Excerpts, Attachment A) in 11 different plan variations distributed throughout the development. Meeting Date: 9/19/2022 Item Number: 4a Time Estimate: 30 Minutes Figure 1: Subject Property Page 9 of 52 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. Community Design Guidelines: https://www.slocity.org/home/showpublisheddocument/2104/635491488007630000 Orcutt Area Specific Plan: https://www.slocity.org/home/showpublisheddocument/4262/635501857723870000 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. Figure 2: Representative Plan Styles: Cottage, Spanish, Modern (left to right) Page 10 of 52 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). Figure 4: Front Yard Landscape Design Concepts (RRM Design Group) Figure 3: Site Plan, Enclave at Righetti Page 11 of 52 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. Page 13 of 52 Item 4a ARCH-0118-2022 (3805 Orcutt) 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. 7.0 ATTACHMENTS A - Project Plan Excerpts (Enclave at Righetti) B - Residential Development Standards (Orcutt Area Specific Plan) C - Front Yard Landscape Design Guidelines (Enclave at Righetti) D - Walls and Fencing (Enclave at Righetti) E - Applicant Project Overview (Enclave at Righetti) Page 14 of 52 6HSWHPEHU,1&/86,21$5<+286,1*7KH(QFODYHLVWKHWKLUGDQGILQDOSKDVHRIWKH5LJKHWWL5DQFK'HYHORSPHQW 7UDFW 7KLVQHLJKERUKRRGLVFRYHUHGXQGHUWKHRULJLQDO,QFOXVLRQDU\+RXVLQJ$JUHHPHQWIRUDOOWKUHHSKDVHVRIWKH5LJKHWWL)LQDO0DSVWKURXJKDFRPELQDWLRQRIODQGGHGLFDWHGWR3HRSOH¶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¶´352326('%8,/',1*+(,*+7 9$5,(6 5HIHUWR6KHHW5(48,5('6(7%$&.6  )5217  ¶3HU0XQLFLSDO&RGH  &251(5  ¶7DEOH    6,'(  ¶5($5¶352326('6(7%$&.6  9$5,(6 5HIHUWR6KHHWVWKUXDQG6KHHWPage 15 of 52 (QFODYHDW5LJKHWWL6HSWHPEHU3KDVH6DQ/XLV2ELVSR&$&RS\ULJKW'HVLJQ5HYLHZ RI6LWH3ODQ2UFXWW5RDG+DQVHQ/DQH%R[6SULQJV5RDG3DUVRQV: D \Page 16 of 52 (QFODYHDW5LJKHWWL6HSWHPEHU3KDVH6DQ/XLV2ELVSR&$&RS\ULJKW'HVLJQ5HYLHZ RI$)URQW(OHYDWLRQ'HWDFKHG&DU*DUDJHZ&DUULDJH8QLW6SDQLVK/RWV Page 17 of 52 (QFODYHDW5LJKHWWL6HSWHPEHU3KDVH6DQ/XLV2ELVSR&$&RS\ULJKW'HVLJQ5HYLHZ RI$)URQW(OHYDWLRQ&DU'HWDFKHG*DUDJH)DUPKRXVH/RWPage 18 of 52 (QFODYHDW5LJKHWWL6HSWHPEHU3KDVH6DQ/XLV2ELVSR&$&RS\ULJKW'HVLJQ5HYLHZ RI%)URQW(OHYDWLRQ&DU$WWDFKHG*DUDJH)DUPKRXVH/RWPage 19 of 52 (QFODYHDW5LJKHWWL6HSWHPEHU3KDVH6DQ/XLV2ELVSR&$&RS\ULJKW'HVLJQ5HYLHZ RI$)URQW(OHYDWLRQ&RWWDJH/RWPage 20 of 52 (QFODYHDW5LJKHWWL6HSWHPEHU3KDVH6DQ/XLV2ELVSR&$&RS\ULJKW'HVLJQ5HYLHZ RI6SDQLVK/RWV %)URQW(OHYDWLRQPage 21 of 52 (QFODYHDW5LJKHWWL6HSWHPEHU3KDVH6DQ/XLV2ELVSR&$&RS\ULJKW'HVLJQ5HYLHZ RI$)URQW(OHYDWLRQ'HWDFKHG&DU*DUDJH)DUPKRXVH/RWV Page 22 of 52 (QFODYHDW5LJKHWWL6HSWHPEHU3KDVH6DQ/XLV2ELVSR&$&RS\ULJKW'HVLJQ5HYLHZ RI%)URQW(OHYDWLRQ'HWDFKHG&DU*DUDJHZ&DUULDJH+RXVH)DUPKRXVH/RWPage 23 of 52 (QFODYHDW5LJKHWWL6HSWHPEHU3KDVH6DQ/XLV2ELVSR&$&RS\ULJKW'HVLJQ5HYLHZ RI%)URQW(OHYDWLRQ'HWDFKHG&DU*DUDJH&RWWDJH/RWV Page 24 of 52 (QFODYHDW5LJKHWWL6HSWHPEHU3KDVH6DQ/XLV2ELVSR&$&RS\ULJKW'HVLJQ5HYLHZ RI%)URQW(OHYDWLRQ'HWDFKHG&DU*DUDJHZ&DUULDJH8QLW0RGHUQ/RWV Page 25 of 52 (QFODYHDW5LJKHWWL6HSWHPEHU3KDVH6DQ/XLV2ELVSR&$&RS\ULJKW'HVLJQ5HYLHZ RI$)URQW(OHYDWLRQ0RGHUQ/RWV Page 26 of 52 (QFODYHDW5LJKHWWL6HSWHPEHU3KDVH6DQ/XLV2ELVSR&$&RS\ULJKW'HVLJQ5HYLHZ RI%)URQW(OHYDWLRQ)DUPKRXVH/RWV Page 27 of 52 (QFODYHDW5LJKHWWL6HSWHPEHU3KDVH6DQ/XLV2ELVSR&$&RS\ULJKW'HVLJQ5HYLHZ RI%)URQW(OHYDWLRQ)DUPKRXVH/RWV Page 28 of 52 (QFODYHDW5LJKHWWL6HSWHPEHU3KDVH6DQ/XLV2ELVSR&$&RS\ULJKW'HVLJQ5HYLHZ RI&RORU&KDUWV5,*+(77,5$1&+3+$6(75$&7 &2/256(/(&7,21&+$573$,176+(5:,1:,//,$06678&&220(*$ '(&(0%(5522)($*/(35(&$67$36932572),12%5,&.%25$/6721(&5($7,9(0,1(60257$52%30$&3/86:,1'2:)5$0($1'(56216&+(0(6 02'(51(/(9$7,216$:1,1*6($9(632676+($'(565$,/,1*6)52176,'( *$5$*( '22566:&$9,$56:%/$&.)2;%$6(678&&2 20(*$  6: ô  6: 6,',1*6:'29(7$,/6:*5281'('6721()2*%$1.63/,702'8/$5/81$563/,702'8/$5:,1'2:)5$0(%/$&.

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. Page 51 of 52 Ritner Group, Inc Page 2 of 2 September 6, 2022 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.
