Grading toGrading to create pads, streets, and positive drainage will occur on the project site, however, activities will be minimal in preparation for unit construction. A preliminary grading plan and soils study has been prepared in conjunction with this project. All grading activities will be under the direction of the City Engineer (see Figure 6). F. Architectural Concepts LA "Santa Barbara" architectural theme will be used for all structures within the proposed project. This style incorporates a number of features designed to emphasize the L Santa Barbara design theme, including tile roofs, pot shelves, columns, multi -paned win- dows, and trim treatments. _ Materials and colors used in the proposed project will be in keeping with the architectural theme: stucco walls painted in light pastels or earth tones, light wood trim, the roofs, and multi -paned windows. Roofs will combine gable and hip forms to provide variety in design and appearance. Proposed floor plans and elevations are illustrated in the drawings included in Appendix C, attached to this document. All residential elevations demonstrate an attention to detail, including variations in form, materials and textures. G. Phasing The project will be constructed in two (2) phases starting with Phase One, the eastern portion of the site, with lots 15-35, 38-40 and 58-63. Included in Phase One, lots 55- 57 are reserved for sales model home construction. Phase Two continues to the west with lots 1-14 ,41-54 and lots 36 and 37, for a total of sixty-three (63) lots.

General Plan Consistency Evaluation • This Specific Plan addresses each of the elements contained in the West Covina General Plan, and presents the details of compliance of the proposed development with the goals, objectives, policies, and concepts of each element. The compliance of this Specific Plan with the West Covina General Plan is discussed below. LA. Land Use Remaining a predominantly single family residential community is one of the goals of the City of West Covina General Plan Land Use Element. The project site is designated �- as Specific Plan. The Specific Plan designation permits 6.5 dwellingunits per gross acre. Thus, the General Plan Land Use Element permits 6.5 dwelling units per gross acre. A total of sixty-three (63) dwelling units are proposed, consistent with the General Plan. B. Circulation 46 Azusa Avenue, along the eastern boundary of the project site is designated as a principle arterial in the West Covina General Plan Circulation Element. This street is presently developed within a one -hundred (100') foot right of way. An additional ten (10') foot right of way will be added making a fully developed one -hundred and ten (110') foot right of way. Cortez Street has been designated as a collector street. C. Economic Development An expanded local economy, increased employment opportunities, and a strong tax base are the goals of the West Covina General Plan Economic Development Element. In an effort to meet the housing needs of an increasing labor force (due to increased employment opportunities within the city), the project site has been identified as a potential site for single family residential development. Sixty-three (63) new dwelling units will be developed to ensure that there will be enough units to meet the projected increase in the city's work force. D. Housing The provision for adequate and diverse housing facilities is one of the ultimate goals of the City of West Covina General Plan Housing Element. In recognition of this goal, abandoned school sites (such as the El Dorado Elementary School site) have been desiginated as sites for residential development. The El Dorado Specific Plan proposes sixty-three (63) single family detached dwelling units. The provision of these residential types within a private planned residential community will complement the types of existing residential development in West Covina. E. Safety To comply with the provisions of the West Covina Safety Element, soils and geologic studies have been prepared for the project site. Implementation of the recommendations contained in these reports will provide for the safety of future residents. 400 17 C F.

Other services such as mental health, food, shelter and personal guidance and counseling, however, may be provided by community organizations. LIn some cases, the type of development proposed or the project design can enhance the quality of life. The proposed project will comply with the provisions setforth in the LHuman Resources Element in the following manner: 1. Decrease in traffic congestion, due to the proposed projects proximity to jobs. 2. Promote a sense of community pride. 3. Counter effect rapid turnover of homeownership. i 4. If warranted, provide special access features for handicapped �- pped homeowners. G. Environmental Quality I Meeting the recreational needs of its residents is an important goal of the West Covina General Plan Environmental Quality Element.

In recognition of this goal, recreational facilities consisting of a swimming pool, spa, shade and barbecue area, will be provided within the proposed residential development. H. Noise C? According to the West Covina General Plan, the project site is within existing noise contours, 65-70 CNEL, which would expose residents to undesireable levels of noise. .Mitigation measures to reduce noise impacts will be investigated through an acoustical study and examination. Possible effective mitigation measures include the use of landscaping, sound attenuating walls, earthen berms, and setbacks from roadways. The project will be designed to meet acceptable noise levels in conformance with the General Plan. I.
