The site is partially developed with one office building served by surface parking. The site's owners, Shea Properties and Shea Homes, propose to complete development of the property with a uniquely urban residential and mixed-use community. A map showing the location of the site is included on Exhibit 1-1. A variety of elements work together to create the framework and character of a development. These include the landform, mix of land uses, the style and placement of structures located throughout the site, circulation system, and landscape treatments. These elements and their relationship to one another are the subject of this Specific Plan. Detailed descriptions of all of these key components of the plan are included in the following Sections. Specific plans enable the establishment of special development standards and criteria that respond to the particular features of a site. This flexibility allows for more effective infrastructure and innovative land use planning. The City of Aliso Viejo adopted its General Plan in the spring of 2004. A newly updated comprehensive Zoning Code has not yet been adopted. During this interim period the City utilizes the County of Orange Zoning Code (City Zoning Code) and the 4`h Revised Aliso Viejo Planned Community Development Plan and Supplemental Text' (Development Text) to determine regulations for properties within the community. The California Government Code and the City Zoning Code, Section 7-9-156, provide for the preparation of Specific Plans to ensure the orderly and systematic implementation of the general plane. The City's General Plan designates this site as a "Community Benefit Overlay Area," which allows development of alternative land uses subject to the execution of a Development Agreement. A Development Agreement has been prepared for the Vantis Specific Plan area. This Specific Plan has been prepared in order to implement the Community Benefit Overlay Area and to provide development regulations for the Vantis community other than those contained within the City Zoning Code. The Specific Plan is a regulatory document that will serve as the zoning for the Vantis Specific Plan area. The required elements of a specific plan identified in Government Code Section 65451 are as follows: (a) A specific plan shall include a text and a diagram or diagrams which specify all of the following in detail: (1) The distribution, location, and extent of the uses of land, including open space, within the area covered by the plan. ' The County of Orange adopted the 41h Revised Aliso Viejo Planned Community Text on 3/26/91 by Ordinance 3818 and the City of Aliso Viejo adopted this document upon incorporation on July 1, 2001. 2 Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 3, Articles 8 and 9 of the California Government Code (Section 65450 et seq.). Pursuant to these provisions, specific plans may be prepared based on the general plan and drafts of such regulations, programs, and legislation as may be required, in the judgment of the Planning Commission (or if no Planning Commission, City Council), for the systematic execution of the general plan. Such a specific plan may include all detailed regulations, conditions, programs, and proposed legislation that may be necessary or convenient for the systematic implementation of each element of the general plan. Section 1:Introduction 1-1 .............._.....__.._............._..............................__..........._..............................._.._................................................................._................_......................, Specific Plan (2) The proposed distribution, location and extent and intensity of major components of public and private transportation, sewage, water, drainage, solid waste disposal, energy, and other essential facilities proposed to be located within the area covered by the plan and needed to support the land uses described in the plan. (3) Standards and criteria by which development will proceed, and standards for the conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources, where applicable. (4) A program of implementation measures including regulations, programs, public works projects, and financing measures necessary to carry out paragraphs (1), (2), and (3). (b) The specific plan shall include a statement of the relationship of the specific plan to the general plan. The Specific Plan must be consistent with the City of Aliso Viejo General Plan and must be adopted by ordinance by the City Council. A detailed discussion of the Specific Plan's consistency with the General Plan is contained later within this Section. Subsequently, all future development proposals, plans, maps and agreements must be consistent with the Specific Plan. Projects that are found to be consistent with the Vantis Specific Plan will be deemed consistent with the City's General Plan. 1.1.1 General Plan and Zoning Designations and Existing Entitlement The adopted Aliso Viejo General Plan identifies the land use designations for Vantis as "Professional Office," "Neighborhood Commercial," "Open Space" and "High Density Residential" with a "Community Benefit Overlay" designation. Under the General Plan, the "Professional Office" designation allows business and professional office complexes, supporting retail and services, and community facilities. The "High Density Residential" designation allows multiple-family units such as apartments, townhomes, condominiums, senior housing, and multi-family clusters. Under the existing General Plan designation for the Vantis Specific Plan area a maximum of 535,000 additional square feet of non-residential development (e.g., commercial/office land uses) and 350 dwelling units could be developed on the Vantis Specific Plan area in addition to the existing and approved phase 1 development described below. The Vantis Specific Plan establishes two land use designations, "Professional Office" and "High Density Residential." "Neighborhood Retail" uses are not proposed, and open space uses are included within the two proposed land use districts. For this Community Benefit Overlay area the opportunities in the "Professional Office" designation are expanded to include limited first floor retail/commercial with residential uses on the upper floors within a live/work use category. Tables 2-1 and 2-2 in the Specific Plan provide detailed information about the allowed uses within each land use category. The Specific Plan establishes the following maximum development entitlements for non-residential and residential uses: a maximum of 720,000 square feet of commercial/office space and a maximum of 409 dwelling units. The number of residential units is achieved through the application of a density bonus as a result of providing affordable housing units as part of the development, which is discussed in detail in Section 2.2.2 of this document, and consistent with General Plan policies. Section 1:introdI10110 o 1-2 ' ...............................................................__......,........................................... Vantis Specific Plan The Orange County Planning Commission approved a Site Development Permit and minor Area Plan Amendment for Planning Area 40, Sub-area F of the Town Center on August 8, 2000. This approval allowed for development of phase 1 of Vantis, including the initial circulation elements and two office buildings, one of which exists on site. The second office building has been relocated to 130 Vantis, and a Site Development Permit is under review by the City for that building. These two buildings contain 181,500 square feet z (existing 120 Vantis) and 80,000 square feet (proposed 130 Vantis). ® IOC , The existing zoning classification of "Planned Community/Urban Activity" is changed to "Vantis Specific Plan District." As the Vantis Specific Plan constitutes site-specific zoning for the Vantis community, the Aliso Viejo Zoning Map is amended to reflect the "Vantis Specific Plan District." Through adoption of the Vantis Specific Plan, the previously approved Development Text is superseded for"those areas included within the Specific Plan to the extent that the Specific Plan conflicts with the Development Plan. The depiction and legal description of the Specific Plan boundary is provided on Exhibit 1-2. A Development Agreement covering the Vantis site as well as other properties was originally entered into between the County of Orange and the Mission Viejo Company in 1988. This Development Agreement remains in effect between their successors in interest, the City of Aliso P g Viejo and Shea Properties, and is scheduled to terminate in 2008. The City of Aliso Viejo and Shea Properties are currently negotiating a new Development Agreement, which if entered into, would replace the existing Development Agreement for the Vantis Specific Plan area only. Adoption of the Specific Plan and Vantis Development Agreement implements the Community Benefit Overlay provisions of the adopted General Plan, which encourages a mix of uses within the Vantis community. t 1.1.2 California Environmental Quality Act Compliance The environmental impacts from the development of the site have been addressed in the EIR certified by the City on April 21, 2004 for the City's General Plan. An Addendum to the General Plan EIR was approved for the Specific Plan that includes a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for development of the site. 1.2 Community Vision Vantis creates a distinctive community environment by integrating a variety of types of land uses: office buildings that may include retail shops, service commercial uses and restaurants, live/work units, and residential units within separate buildings. The community incorporates a more urban character by combining residences with businesses, both horizontally and vertically. The scale of the buildings also evokes a more urban sensibility, with multi-story buildings and structured parking, two, three, and higher story residential buildings, and businesses and residences fronting on the community's main north/south traversing street, called Vantis. The site's adjacency to the Aliso Viejo Town Center provides unique opportunities for pedestrian connections and easy access to the Town Center's amenities and nearby offices. Section 1:Introduction 1-3 / ..................................__..._......................._....__.........._....................._.........__..._._._......................._......._.....__....................................._._.............._... / AwAw vantis Specific Plan The Vantis Specific Plan is designed using some principles of new urbanism, or neo-traditional planning. Neo-traditional communities are planned in part on the concept that individual mobility should not necessitate an automobile trip. A broader range of lifestyle choices is made available when pedestrian travel is fostered. Those who do not drive, whether the young or the elderly, gain access to public spaces and services that are otherwise not available without assistance when pedestrian travel is given the same priority as vehicular travel. These communities also make walking a convenient option for those who prefer to be less dependent on their automobiles. Two important aspects of a walkable environment are accessibility between land uses and pedestrian comfort. By integrating residential and employment uses and providing connections to the existing Aliso Viejo Town Center, the Specific Plan creates accessibility to many of the elements required for { everyday life. Residents of Vantis may walk to work, to a diverse shopping area, and to excellent dining and entertainment opportunities. Additionally, the City's Grand Park is located immediately adjacent to Vantis, providing public recreational amenities. Private recreational and open space amenities are also spread throughout Vantis to make them easily accessible. The pedestrian paths and parks within Vantis will be available for public use as a community benefit. The concept of pedestrian comfort can be translated into pedestrian-friendly spaces by separating the sidewalk from the street with a parkway or providing wide sidewalks. This space creates a sense of separation and safety for the pedestrian. It also allows room for planting shade trees, which help to cool the walkway and provide a human-scaled canopy over the space. Streets may be narrower or may incorporate traffic calming measures to reduce traffic speeds and reinforce the human scale of the street. Streets also are patterned to provide multiple routes to destinations and to provide a more pedestrian-friendly environment. Another basic concept of new urbanism is locating community-gathering areas in conjunction with t. other uses, thereby allowing synergy among uses. Front entries to homes or porches face the street to provide a place where people can gather. The entries to the office buildings include courtyards or plazas for the building's workers and visitors. The sidewalks and associated courtyards along the \ _ main north-south street, called Vantis, also serve as gathering places that connect to the office �- buildings' courtyards on the west and north sides of the street, to gardens between buildings on the r-. east side of the street, and to the community's system of connecting pathways. 1.3 Project Description 1.3.1 Existing Conditions _ Vantis is a mixed-use, master planned community located in the hills of central Aliso Viejo, adjacent and to the west of the , a r Town Center. The site is bounded by Enterprise to the north, !�� t In�ij ill Aliso Viejo Parkway to the west, Grand to the south, and they Aliso Viejo Town Center to the east, as shown on the aerial d of the ro property included as Exhibit 1-3. Existing ` photograph p p Y attached residences are located across Aliso Viejo Parkway on the southwest side and office buildings are planned along Aliso Viejo Parkway on the northwest _ side. Both sites are significantly elevated above Aliso Viejo Parkway. Existing office developments Section 1:introduction 1-4 i .... ....................................._......__......._......................................... ...................._..._........_.................................................. Specific Plan are located to the north and south. To the east of the Vantis Specific Plan boundary there is a large slope down to the Aliso Viejo Town Center. The City's Grand Park lies to the southeast of the property. The site is generally flat, with a gradual slope from west to east, falling approximately twenty feet from Aliso Viejo Parkway to the eastern property boundary. Five mid-rise office buildings and three parking structures are planned for the portions of the site ' abutting Aliso Viejo Parkway and Enterprise. One of those buildings currently exists at 120 Vantis (Safeco Insurance Building), and contains 181,500 square feet of gross floor area. This building is currently served by surface parking that will ultimately be replaced by a parking structure. The remaining portions of the site are mass graded and vacant. In addition to the existing building, a Site Development Permit application has been filed with the City for development of an office building and parking structure. The building is located at 130 Vantis, at the northeast corner of Grand and Aliso Viejo Parkway, and includes approximately 80,000 square feet of gross floor area. 1.3.2 Community Plan The Vantis Specific Plan incorporates both residential and commercial uses, and provides for integration of these uses both separately and combined into mixed-use buildings. The Vantis Specific Plan incorporates multiple residential product types with shared amenities and roadways. This sharing of improvements not only enhances development efficiency but also creates a strong _ sense of place. Streetscapes, building organization and related urban design elements have been established in a manner that joins the professional office environment and the residential housing into an integrated neighborhood. To plan for orderly development, the community has been divided into two distinct land use districts, Professional Office (SP-1, PO) and High Density Residential (SP-1, HDR). Landscape design elements will be utilized to unify the community and provide visual and physical links between districts and to surrounding areas of the City. Exhibit 1-4 illustrates the two districts within Vantis. Professional Office District (SP-1, PO) The Professional Office District wraps the northern and western sides of the site and includes approximately 19.5 acres. This district includes two land uses; commercial/office buildings (one of which is existing) and live work units. This district includes a maximum of 720,000 square feet of commercial/office space and a maximum of 45 residential units. Professional Office District, High Density Residential District, and the Professional Office District include mid-rise commercial/office buildings that may incorporate 720,000 maximum square feet of commercial/office space (including the existing 120 and proposed 130 Vantis buildings). Up to 10,000 square feet of this space may be used for service commercial or retail and up to 60,000 square feet may be used for medical office. The commercial/office or mixed-use buildings are located along Aliso Viejo Parkway, continuing the mid-rise scale and character of this street. These buildings are anticipated to range in height between three and eight stories. Parking for these buildings will be provided in three multi-level parking structures and with surface parking. Also within the Professional Office District, live/work units provide a transitional use between the mid-rise buildings and lower intensity townhomes on the southern and eastern portions of the Section 1: Introduction 1-5 , ..................�....�� ' ' spo=xowwu Man property. The live/work buildings also provide a horizontal transition from the multi-story office buildings to the two and three story tovvnhonnes The live/work units will be built in three story � buildings that face Vanbs, the community's "main street." The design of these buildings will emphasize vertical elements and may include flat roofs and higher first floor plate lines. On the street level, the fronts of these units will have up to 20,000 square feet (gross floor area) of space designated for office or business uses served by on street parking, with resident parking provided in . ' garages at the rear of the buildings, possibly stepped down from the office space. The second and � third floors of these buildings will be devoted to living space. . The commercial and live/work interface along the main street, Vando, is designed as a dynamic � urban streetscene punctuated by gardens and plazas. In keeping with the new-urbanism design � ( philosophy, the roadways are designed to provide not only vehicular circulation, but to provide � enhanced pedestrian corridors. Carefully designed elements such as chokers and textured paving � / ` . shall be incorporated to help calm traffic and to help define the street spaces. Buildings are setback ( � from the streets to provide ample pedestrian circulation, and landscape elements are incorporated /- to provide human-scale elements. � A public plaza large enough to seat up to 200 people (approximately 4,100 square feet in size) will � / . be provided within the Professional Office District to provide a community-gathering place and . focal point within Vands. The current site plan proposes this plaza near the intersection nf /\liso � `~ Viejo Parkway and Enterprise, although the ultimate configuration has not been determined. � Table 2'1 in Section 22 of the Specific Plan indicates the land use mix for the community. Section 2 2 � addresses how the land use noixvvou|� �e affected through the provision of density bonus. ' ' ' ' Density��m�ty Residential District ='' ^ ' � The High Density Residential District is located on the . southern and eastern sides of the site, in includes � approximately 19.3 acres This District includes two � / product types, multi-family residences located adjacent | ' . . � to Enterprise and tovvnhonne style attached residences ' - in the southeastern portion of the site. . ` Residentialmid-rise buildings are located at the � ( northern end of the site. These buildings will be developed with a maximum of 180 dwellings. The buildings will be a maximum of five stories of � � residential units above two levels of partially subterranean parking. These higher density residential ` buildings provide a transitional land use between the existing offices across Enterprise and the � ' offices within the Professional Office District. ' � High Density Residential OisihctA maximum cf30O attached residences are also included within | i ` the High Density Residential District. These buildings include two and three story elements and ! orient to local streets or around courtyards. The homes also front onto open spaces and have - garage access along drives behind the buildings. Homes fronting onto streets may be slightly raised i above the street, some with porches facing out onto tree-lined parkways. This helps define the ! `- sheet and provides the opportunity for interesting architectural detailing adjacent to the public (_ | spaces. Courtyard building clusters are located along the top of the slope overlooking the Town � socKN0n 1:NNKUlWducKNoU l'6 � � / ....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................._._...._.__..__........................ .............................................................................,.......,.............................: ven is Specific Plan Center. The shape of these buildings allows varied setbacks of the building massing along the top - of slope, creating visual relief along the edge. The Residential District also includes a private recreation center in the southwestern part of the property and an overlook park at the northeastern side that provides spectacular views towards the Santa Ana Mountains. A community carwash area is located adjacent to the recreation area. The High Density Residential District is internally connected by a series of pedestrian trails, which also connect the two districts together and to surrounding properties. Landscape Design Elements Several zones of landscaping define the Vantis landscape concept. These zones are based on land use, street hierarchy, arrival experience and the perimeter landscape interface. The Professional Office District exhibits diversity through forms and spaces in plazas, courtyards and gardens that set themselves apart from the adjacent buildings. Unifying elements are provided through building materials, site furnishings and plant materials. ` Streets, open spaces, a paseo system, courtyard gardens and a promenade walk define the High Density Residential District. The streets within this area are formal and illustrate the edges between t ' pedestrian and vehicular use areas. The open space features a community recreation center and several green activity lawns and slope landscaping, providing 1.2 acres of recreational/park space within the Vantis community. Within the recreation center, a community building provides a central gathering place for residents, and adjoins a lap pool, spa, and outdoor cooking, fireplace and dining space. Many of the homes will front on to streets, paseo connections, promenade walk and courtyard gardens that feature fountains, seating areas and activity lawns. The primary entry into Vantis is off of Aliso Viejo Parkway, and its strong formal and vertical palm skyline ' contrast the perimeter landscaping and signal the main INTL a tc entry to the project. The two secondary entries, from Enterprise and Grand, are formal but organic, featuring a Bit grove of ornamental trees with striking contrast in ground = AL cover and shrub landscaping. t There are three levels of streets within the community. The primary entry street off Aliso Viejo Parkway, called Vantis Drive, and the main roadway within the Professional Office District, called Vantis, are the principal streets in the community. The secondary roadways are "C" Street, which connects Enterprise and Yantis, and a loop street within the High Density Residential District, comprised of "D" and "E" streets. The third type of vehicular connection in the community is the driveway connections providing direct garage access to the live/work and residential units. In addition to the vehicular circulation pattern, an integrated pedestrian pathway system throughout the project connects the two Districts while also connecting to the Town Center to the east. A promenade walk sits along the top of the slope on the project's eastern boundary and connects to Enterprise on the north and Grand on the south. This walk links the project elements together and is anchored with an overlook park that includes benches and lawn areas. Landscaping along the promenade walk frames views to distant Saddleback Mountain. Pedestrian connections within the High Density Residential District provide convenient access to the community's Town Center. Section 1:Introduction 1-7 .. .. ......................................................................................................................................................._..---.._......................_....................._.._.............................._......._.__...._........................_.... .._...................................._............. OII��I�I� Specific NOR The perimeter is defined by the east slope landscape on property owned by Aliso Viejo Community Association, which will blend with the existing landscape while enhancing the trail linkage to the promenade walk. A continuation of the promenade walk down the slope will connect the project to the Town Center below. The perimeter streets of Enterprise, Grand and Aliso Viejo Parkway will continue the informal display of evergreen street and slope trees and colorful ground plain landscaping. 1.4 Goals of the Project 1.4.1 Development Goals ■ Create a project that advances the policies and objectives of the City of Aliso Viejo General Plan. ` ■ Provide for a variety of land uses that allow for flexibility in responding to prevailing market - conditions. Create a mixed use community that encompasses businesses, homes and recreational amenities, allowing people to live, work and enjoy leisure time within one site. ■ Provide appropriate transitions between differing uses. ■ Provide a variety of housing types and densities that accommodate different lifestyles and life stages within an increasingly urban environment. �` ■ Provide flexibility in design standards to allow for both current housing types and those ` types that may evolve in the future in response to new markets. ■ Develop a residential land use adjacent to Town Center to allow residents to walk to the City's entertainment and recreational core. �- 1.4.2 Environmental and Conservation Goals ■ Implement a logically phased infrastructure program to minimize building resources. ■ Incorporate a pedestrian system that links the Vantis development to surrounding areas. ■ Incorporate "green building practices" where appropriate and feasible, as identified in the Design Guidelines, Section 3. ■ Provide a reclaimed water system for landscape irrigation purposes to reduce the use of potable water. 1.4.3 Safety Goals ■ Insure the health and safety of future City residents by providing appropriate infrastructure to effectively manage surface water runoff and seasonal storm water flows. �. ■ Provide access for emergency response through construction of an adequate circulation system. ■ Implement design concepts that promote personal safety in shared community spaces, such as visibility from surrounding homes or roadways and appropriate lighting levels.

Specific Plan 1.5 (Relationship to the City of Aliso Viejo General Plan The City of Aliso Viejo adopted its General Plan on April 21, 2004. The Vantis Specific Plan implements the goals and policies of each of the Aliso Viejo General Plan elements. The following is a brief discussion of the relationship of the Vantis Specific Plan to relevant General Plan Element policies. 1.5.1 land Use Element Goal LU-1 Provide a diverse mix of land uses to meet the future needs of all residents and the business community. Policy LU-1.2 Attract a broad range of additional retail, medical, and office uses providing employment at all income levels and making a positive contribution to the City's tax base. ( Application: Vantis will incorporate a maximum of 720,000 gross square feet of commercial/office " space. This space may include up to 60,000 square feet of medical office space and up to 10,000 square feet of neighborhood serving retail uses as an element of the mixed use concept encouraged by the Community Benefit Overlay designation. The live/work units will provide approximately 20,000 gross square feet of commercial/office space, also within the 720,000 gross square foot total. Vantis incorporates conventional office, small businesses in live/work units, and includes the potential for retail and other mixed use opportunities. This mix of business and employment opportunities will provide jobs at a range of income levels and positively contribute to the City's tax base. Policy LU1.5 Coordinate with public and private organizations to maximize the availability and use of parks and recreational facilities in the community. Application: The parks and recreational facilities within Vantis will be privately owned and t" maintained by a homeowners association. Some of the facilities will be available for public use, such as the view park located above Aliso Viejo Town Center. Vantis includes construction of a trail connection to the Aliso Viejo Town Center, making access to this park convenient for the public. _ The pedestrian connections within the community will also provide a link between public or publicly accessible spaces and the business uses within Vantis. The Vantis Specific Plan also provides a public plaza that can be used as a community-gathering place for special events, as part of a program of community benefits identified by the Development Agreement. General Plan park facilities not provided on site will be addressed with in-lieu fees. Goal LU-2 Promote a visually-cohesive urban form and establish connections between the urban core and outlying portions of the community. Policy LU-2.1 Preserve the current pattern of development that encourages more intense and higher density development at the core of the community (near Grand Park and Aliso Viejo Town Center) and less intense uses radiating from the central core. Application: The mixed use concept for the Vantis community incorporates office, live/work units and attached residential homes. The design of the Specific Plan introduces high density residential '- uses adjacent to the Town Center, along with office buildings developed at a floor-to-area ratio of i approximately 1.1. This integrated plan responds to the City's vision expressed in its General Plan that higher density/intensity uses be adjacent to the Town Center. sccv®n 1:Introduction 1-9 ..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................._._......._.................................._..._......................._........._...._.........................._......................................... Specific Plan Policy LU-2.2 Create and enhance landscaped greenway, trail and sidewalk connections between Aliso Viejo neighborhoods and to commercial areas such as the Town Center and Aliso and Wood Canyons Regional Park. Application: The Vantis Specific Plan provides a pedestrian trail system that links the various uses within the plan to one another. The community plan also includes a direct pedestrian pathway connection to the Aliso Viejo Town Center. Policy LU-2.4 Encourage land uses that complement (in type, size, scale and design) the community's topography, scenic vistas, and natural resources. Application: The design for the Vantis community responds to the topography of the site. The site is located at an elevation below the attached homes on the west side of Aliso Viejo Parkway, and is located above the Aliso Viejo Town Center. Within the project site, the tallest buildings will be located along Aliso Viejo Parkway, the side of the property with the highest elevation. Buildings generally decrease in height providing view opportunities from some of the taller office structures, the very high density residential units, and the high density residential units to the east and toward Saddleback Mountain. Goal LU-3 Encourage development that provides a solid fiscal foundation for the City, diverse employment options for residents, and prospects for successful small and legal and conforming home-based businesses. Policy LU-3.3 Provide opportunities for small and legal and conforming home-based businesses to r locate, operate, and grow within Aliso Viejo. = Application: The live/work units provide designated space for small businesses within the context _ of a mixed use development. This encourages use of the space for commercial enterprises and minimizes the potential for conflicts that might result from commercial uses in a strictly residential setting. The Specific Plan establishes the range of permitted uses within the live/work units. Policy LU-3.4 Encourage innovative mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly development projects to reduce traffic congestion and improve quality of life. Application: The Vantis Specific Plan has been designed specifically as a mixed use, pedestrian- friendly community that incorporates a broad variety of land uses, all connected via pedestrian paths and/or enhanced sidewalks. Goal LU-4 Ensure that future development is mutually beneficial to both the environment and the community. Policy LU-4. 2 In areas where residential and business park or office land uses abut each other, use buffering techniques employing water-conserving landscaping, setbacks, screening, and appearance standards to improve compatibility. Application: Vantis combines office and residential uses within a mixed use setting. These two uses are buffered by live work units and mid-rise residential units, which provide a transitional land use and an intermediate scale of building between the smaller residential structures and the larger office buildings. The southwest portion of the Vantis Specific Plan area abuts existing residential uses. These homes are located across Aliso Viejo Parkway, a six lane major arterial roadway, which creates a buffer by Section Introduction 1-10 .............................._.........................._.........._..................................._................_........_........................................................__....................................................................................................................................................................................................................._........................................................._..............._......................................................._...... Specific loan providing a significant setback. In addition to the road, an existing landscaped slope provides a r grade-separation between the uses, with the homes elevated above Vantis. Policy LU-4.3 Establish and maintain greenway and pedestrian connections between residential and commercial areas, and open space access points. Application: Internal to the site, connections between the Professional Office and High Density Residential Districts have been carefully planned to enhance pedestrian mobility. Further, the pedestrian connection directly to the Town Center provides the means for residents and workers within the Vantis community to comfortably walk to shopping, dining and entertainment opportunities. Policy LU-4-4 Reduce the discharge of pollutants and runoff flow from urban development to the maximum extent practicable. Application: The Vantis Specific Plan area will comply with all applicable federal, state and municipal requirements for controlling pollutant impacts to storm water from construction and post- construction activities, including preparing Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans and Water Quality Management Plans. The project design will incorporate site design techniques, such as landscaped swales and the use of pavers, turf block and other pervious pavement, to incrementally reduce the amount of discharge from rainfall leaving the site and a community car wash area to divert certain pollutants to the wastewater system. A determination will be made as part of the �. subdivision map process where these design features will be located and the extent to which they will be incorporated. Because the cohesive nature of the on-site soils would restrict water absorption, the use of detention facilities is not anticipated for the Vantis project. Goal LU-5 Promote balanced growth with supporting public services and infrastructure. Policy LU-5.1 Integrate land use and public facility planning to provide infrastructure at acceptable levels of service. (\ Application: The Vantis Specific Plan area is located adjacent to adequate utility and roadway infrastructure to support the development. Section 4 of the Specific Plan provides detailed information regarding the provision of utility services. Aliso Viejo Parkway is completed as a six lane major arterial roadway, and Enterprise and Grand are completed as local roadways, providing adequate vehicular connections. Goal LU-8 Collaborate with providers of solid waste collection, disposal and recycling services to ensure a level of service that promotes a clean community and environment. Policy LU 8.2 Require recycling, composting, source reduction and education efforts throughout the community, including residential, business, industries, and institutions, within the construction industry, and in all City-sponsored activities. Application: Regular trash pickup is provided by the City of Aliso Viejo through contracted services. L_ Household waste recycling services are also provided through the City in order to comply with state-mandated solid waste reduction goals. Separate solid waste and recycling facilities will be provided within the commercial components of the Vantis project. Separate trash and recycling storage areas will also be provided for the residential and commercial areas of the live work units. Goal LU-9 Ensure provision of adequate drainage facilities and an adequate level of flood hazard _ protection for the community.

Policy LU-9.1 Work together with the Orange County Flood Control District, SOCWA, AVCA and community associations to maintain and provide storm drain facilities, and ensure that the community is adequately protected from flood hazards. Application: The Vantis property owners, through their owners associations, will be responsible for maintaining the streets and drainage facilities within the community. This will involve removing any debris that might otherwise flow into the storm drain system and impede the flow of storm runoff. The storm drain facilities themselves will be private facilities. Goal LU-11 Collaborate with local school districts, private schools, other organizations, and Soka University of America to ensure that a range of educational opportunities are provide in superior, accessible facilities that compliment surrounding land uses. Policy LU-11.1 Ensure that new development contributes its fair share to the timely construction of new school facilities, to the extent permitted by law, and compatible with other City land use -_ objectives. Application: The Master Developer of Vantis will pay state-mandated school fees for all residential units constructed within the community. Goal LU-12 Promote construction, maintenance and active use of publicly-and privately-operated parks, recreation programs, and a community center. Policy LU-12.2 As a condition upon new development, require payment of park fees and/or dedication and provision of parkland, recreation facilities and/or multi-use trails that improve the public and private recreation system. Application: The Vantis development will comply with the City's requirements for payment of park fees and/or provision of park space as identified in the Vantis Development Agreement. The community includes the open space trail connections described above, and the overlook park located above Town Center. Additionally, developing the trail connection between the community and the Town Center and Grand Park enhances connectivity between uses adjacent to Aliso Viejo Parkway and Grand Park, one of the City's existing park facilities. Policy LU-12.3 Research options or opportunities to provide necessary or desired community facilities. Application: The Vantis Specific Plan proposes to develop several community-accessible open space amenities as part of the plan. A public plaza large enough to accommodate up to 200 hundred people in a seated venue will be incorporated into the Professional Office District. A bluff-top park will be located in the High Density Residential District above the Town Center. A community trail will connect the Town Center to the High Density Residential District, extending the existing community trail system. 1.5.2 Circulation Element Goal C-1 Provide for convenient and safe local travel throughout Aliso Viejo. Policy C-1.1 Plan and maintain an integrated, hierarchical and multi-modal system of roadways, pedestrian walks, and bicycle paths throughout the City. Application: The internal pedestrian paths included within Vantis will enhance pedestrian mobility between the uses along Aliso Viejo Parkway on the development's western edge and the Town Section 1:Introduction e 1-12 ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................._..................................................._........_.............._..................................................................................................................................................................................................................... F value Speootae Plan Center and Grand Park that border the development on the east. The site's roadways are designed to enhance pedestrian opportunities and safety, thereby encouraging pedestrian travel. Policy C-1.4 Actively promote walking as a safe mode of travel, particularly for children attending local schools. Application: A network of pedestrian pathways and sidewalks is provided within the Vantis Community. This creates a safe pedestrian network for all residents and visitors, including children. Additionally, in order to promote the safety of children walking to school, funding for crossing guards will be provided by Vantis, identified in the Development Agreement as a public benefit. Policy C-1.5 Employ traffic calming methods such as median landscaping and provision for bike or transit lanes to slow traffic, improve roadway capacity, and address safety issues. Application: Traffic calming methods such as chokers, use of special paving materials at crosswalks, and on-street parking are all proposed within Vantis. These elements aid in reducing traffic speeds and also add definition and character to the street and contribute to the pedestrian experience. Goal C-2 Maintain an effective regional transportation network. Policy C-3.1 Promote increased use of public transportation to reduce roadway congestion, air pollution, and non-point source water pollution. Support efforts to increase bus service range and frequency within the City as appropriate. Application: Aliso Viejo Parkway, located on the east side of Vantis, and Enterprise, located on the north side of Vantis, are existing bus routes (OCTA Route 490). Bus turnouts exist on both streets adjacent to the project site. This allows for convenient access to existing public transit service for l residents of the community and workers in the proposed office buildings. As part of the development of the Vantis Specific Plan, a bus shelter provided as a public benefit will be constructed at one of these turnouts. l Policy C-3.2 Enhance and encourage provisions of attractive and appropriate transit amenities, including shaded bus stops, to encourage use of public transportation. Application: The existing bus turnouts will be enhanced with covered bus shelters and benches in a design meeting the approval of the City of Aliso Viejo as apart of the development of the Vantis Specific Plan area. Goal C-4 Provide for safe and convenient mobility of pedestrians and bicyclists. Policy C-4.2 Provide safe and convenient pedestrian and bicycle connections to and from Aliso Viejo Town Center, other commercial districts, office complexes, neighborhoods, schools, other major activity centers, and surrounding communities. Application: The trail system that internally links the Vantis Specific Plan area also links the community to the Town Center and Grand Park, allowing for shared uses and less dependence on the automobile. As noted above, funding for crossing guards will help ensure the safety of children as they walk to school. 1.5.3 Housing Element Goal H-1 Encourage a diversity of housing types and provide affordability levels within Aliso Viejo to meet the needs of community residents. Notion 1:9ntroduotion 1-13 \ Specific Pian t Policy H-1.1 Identify sites appropriate for the development of a variety of housing types and price ranges to meet the needs of all socioeconomic segments of the community (including lower, moderate, and upper income households), offering both entry-level and move-up homes. Application: The Vantis Specific Plan area includes residential product types not currently available within Aliso Viejo. In addition to the multi-family dwellings and townhomes proposed, residential opportunities are proposed in live/work units, creating a unique type of housing within the City. Through the implementation of the Vantis Development Agreement, affordable housing will also be constructed within this Community Benefit Overlay Area. Policy H-1.2 Encourage development of affordable housing opportunities throughout the community, as well as development of housing for elderly and low and moderate income households near public transportation services. Application: Through the Vantis Development Agreement, the developer and City of Aliso Viejo have agreed that a density bonus may be granted for this site. The density bonus provision would require construction of homes affordable to low income households as defined in Section 50079.5 of the California Health and Safety Code, and payment of in-lieu fees to the City to be used for future construction or financing of homes affordable to very low income households. As described r above in the application of Policy Circulation 3.1, Vantis is immediately adjacent to public transportation, which may assist lower income families with their transportation needs. Policy H-1.4 Ensure a portion of future residential development projects are affordable to low and r very low income households. t - Application: Through the Vantis Development Agreement, the developer and City of Aliso Viejo have agreed that a density bonus may be granted for this site. The density bonus provision would require construction of homes affordable to low income households as defined in Section 50079.5 of the California Health and Safety Code, and payment of in-lieu fees for homes affordable to very low income households. The Vantis Affordable Housing Implementation Agreement, adopted concurrently with this Specific Plan, identifies the specific number of affordable units, their location within the community, the income level for which they are provided, and similar information that will enable the City to implement the affordable housing program and manage it over time. Goal H-3 In accordance with State law, ensure all persons and household types have equal access to housing. Policy H-3.1 Participate in programs and provide incentives for projects that include housing for seniors, low-and moderate-income groups, or special needs groups.

Policy S-3.1 Require that new development and redevelopment minimize stormwater and urban runoff into drainage facilities by incorporating on-site design features such as detention basins, water features, or other suitable strategies. Where feasible, support the use of common detention facilities serving more than one development. soctl®n 1:Intpoduotlon 1-16 ............................................._...............................................................................--............................_..........................-..................................................._.............................._._....................._............................._........_.....---........................__._.._...-.._.....__............................_.......__................................................................__...................... Sp®eufuc Plan Application: The Vantis Specific Plan area will comply with all applicable federal, state and - municipal requirements for controlling pollutant impacts to storm water from construction and post- construction activities, including preparing Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans and Water Quality Management Plans. The project design will incorporate site design techniques, such as landscaped swales and the use of pavers, turf block and other pervious pavement, to incrementally reduce the amount of discharge from rainfall leaving the site. A determination will be made as part of the subdivision map process where these design features will be located and the extent to which they will be incorporated. Because the cohesive nature of the on-site soils would restrict water absorption, the use of detention facilities is not anticipated for the Vantis project. Goal S-5 Safeguard the community from criminal activity and structural fire hazards. Policy S-5.3 Apply design techniques and standards that employ adequate street and property - lighting, and place an increased emphasis on public areas to reduce potential criminal activity in new development and reuse projects. Application: The homes within Vantis all front onto the local streets or community walkways, and porches, balconies and courtyards are incorporated into the designs to provide "eyes on the street" for increased visibility and surveillance by local residents. All pathways, courtyards, drives and parking areas will be appropriately lit to enhance the feeling of pedestrian safety, while minimizing glare to residents. In addition, Crime Prevention through Environmental Design techniques will be reviewed in `- conjunction with design of residential and non-residential structures within Vantis. 1.5.6 Noise Element Goal N-1 Minimize the impact of point source noise and ambient noise levels throughout the community. - Policy N-1.1 Ensure that construction and occupancy of new development are compatible with, and do not exceed thresholds defining the acceptable noise environment in surrounding areas. Application: The Vantis project is in an area of the City that could be impacted by noise from operations at El Toro Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS El Toro). The federal government is in the ' process of closing its operations at this site, and the property will ultimately be transferred and used for other purposes than an airport. However, until such time as that occurs, Vantis is subject to the review of the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) to determine whether this project is consistent with the Airport Environs Land Use Plan. If the Vantis plan is not found consistent, the City of Aliso Viejo may determine that the project's development is in the best interest of the City, and override the ALUC's decision. ' The Environmental Impact Report prepared for the City's General Plan analyzed the potential for noise impacts from MCAS El Toro, and incorporated appropriate mitigation measures to reduce those potential impacts to a level of less than significant. The City's Noise Policy Map identifies small portions of the site within the 65 to 70 CNEL contour, as a result of noise from adjacent roadways. Only commercial development is located outside the 60 CNEL contour. Through the Site Development Permits and subdivision map processes, the City of Aliso Viejo will require appropriate sound studies and impose project conditions that regulate the seata®n 1:Intr®duueto®n 1-17 / ................. ............._....._..................................................... ` spocufac Plan noise environment generated from all noise sources during construction and after the project is completed. These conditions typically regulate hours of construction and business operation, appropriate sound attenuation devices for construction equipment, buffering for mechanical equipment of buildings, and similar requirements to ensure noise compatibility. Policy N-1.2 Require inclusion of noise-reducing design features in development projects to address the impact of noise on residential development. Application: The single most significant source of noise for the Vantis Specific Plan will be traffic noise from Aliso Viejo Parkway and Enterprise. The City's General Plan Noise Element Noise Policy Map indicates that the portion of the site nearest the intersection of Aliso Viejo Parkway and Enterprise falls within the 70 and 65 CNEL contours. The development has been designed to buffer ( residential uses from these roadways with office/mixed use buildings to deflect noise away from the homes. The buildings also provide a significant separation between residential uses and the major roads, which allows for landscaping to further muffle and reduce the effect of noise on the ' residences. Through the Site Development Permit and subdivision map processes the City of Aliso Viejo will impose project conditions that regulate building design elements to reduce noise impacts to conform to the City Code. Goal N-2 Minimize transportation-related noise impacts. Policy N-2.3 Require inclusion of sound-reducing design measures in development projects impacted by transportation-related noise. Application: Delivery, loading and trash collection areas of the commercial/office buildings in Vantis have been located away from the main roadway, Vantis, so as to reduce impacts to the live/work units across the roadway. Through the Site Development Permits and subdivision map processes, the City of Aliso Viejo will impose project conditions that regulate the noise environment generated from all noise sources during construction and after the project is completed. These conditions typically regulate hours of construction and business operation, appropriate sound attenuation devices for construction equipment, buffering for mechanical equipment of buildings, and similar E . requirements to ensure noise compatibility. Goal N-3 Minimize noise impacts from sources other than transportation. Policy N-3.1 Ensure stationary noise impacts on sensitive receptors and noise emanation from construction activities, private developments/residences, landscaping activities and special events are minimized. Application: Through the Site Development Permit and subdivision map processes, the City of Aliso Viejo will impose project conditions that regulate the noise environment generated from all noise sources during construction and after the project is completed. These conditions typically regulate hours of construction and business operation, appropriate sound attenuation devices for construction equipment, buffering for mechanical equipment of buildings, and similar requirements to ensure noise compatibility. Policy N-3.2 Require that mixed-use structures and areas be designed to restrict transfer of noise and vibration from commercial uses to residential uses. Application: As described above, the office buildings will provide a buffer between noise generated from the surrounding roadways and the residences. Within the live/work units, care has been given Notion 1:Introduction 1-18 f ........................................................................................._.............................._............................_............................................................................................................_..............._....._................................................._.._.................................._..._.............................................................................................._........... Spocofoc Plan to developing the list of allowed uses to ensure that there will be no excessive noise generated within any live/work unit that might have a negative effect on its neighbors. 1.6 Relationship to the California Environmental Quality Act Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, the City of Aliso Viejo prepared a Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to analyze the impacts of implementing its recently adopted General Plan. The EIR analyzes the environmental impacts caused directly or indirectly by development of the uses contemplated within the General Plan, and identifies mitigation measures for each significant impact. Implementation of certain mitigation measures occurs through adoption of subsequent zoning documents, such as this Specific Plan and Site Development Permits. The Vantis Specific Plan incorporates design features and regulatory mechanisms that address those mitigation measures, as described below. Subsequent to adoption of the City's General Plan EIR, an Initial Study was prepared to analyze the construction and operational impacts of the Vantis Specific Plan. The City has determined that an Addendum will satisfy the requirements of CEQA for the Vantis Specific Plan. A primary function of the Vantis Specific Plan is to reduce the need for future detailed planning and environmental review. Through adoption of the Specific Plan and related Addendum the City of Aliso Viejo has a planning and environmental document that fulfills State and City requirements for the ultimate discretionary and ministerial approvals associated with Vantis. In accordance with Section 65457 of the California Government Code and 14 California Code of Regulations, Sections 15182 and rV 15183, the accompanying environmental documentation was prepared under the City's authority and is intended to serve as the environmental document for the Specific Plan and all individual projects that are undertaken in conformance with the Specific Plan. Mitigation Measure A-1 The City shall prepare, adopt and implement a Zoning Ordinance or Specific Plan and Map consistent with State law that contains lighting standards and requires use of low-reflective building materials to minimize the impacts of light and glare on surrounding uses. Design Feature: Appropriate lighting levels shall be maintained throughout the site to ensure pedestrian and vehicular safety while minimizing off-site glare impacts. The use of highly reflective building materials is not permitted within Vantis. The Vantis Specific Plan Section 3, Design `- Guidelines, Section 3. 4 identifies specific design guidelines formulated to reduce light and glare impacts. Mitigation Measure GS-1 The City shall prepare, adopt and implement a grading ordinance or Specific Plan to ensure that grading associated with new development projects is conducted in accordance with appropriate geotechnical engineering standards. Regulatory Compliance Mechanism: The Vantis development project area is mass graded and that A grading has been certified. Finish grading to create individual development pads, streets and drives will be designed to conform to the City's grading requirements, grading plans will be reviewed and ,4 approved by the City, field work will be inspected by the City, and the completed grading will be certified by a California licensed civil engineer or land surveyor. Mitigation Measure H-1 The City shall prepare, adopt and implement a Zoning Ordinance or Specific Plan and Map consistent with State law, which codifies and expands development Soat6®n 1:Introduction 1-19 / ........---...._..__..........._................_.......__........_...................................................................... ................._...................._................................................ i - Spacing piano restrictions and landscape maintenance requirements in areas within a near Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones. Design Feature: The Vantis Specific Plan is not located within or adjacent to the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone as identified within the General Plan Safety Element, Figure S-1, Safety Policy Map, and so this Specific Plan does not identify development restrictions related to fire hazard zones. Mitigation Measure HWO-1 The City shall prepare, adopt, and implement a Zoning Ordinance or Specific Plan and Map consistent with State law that (1) establishes on-site storm water retention requirements for all new development to offset or significantly reduce the amount of stormwater created as the area of impermeable surfaces increases; and (2) incorporates FEMA development requirements through establishment of a flood hazard overlay zone corresponding to the location . of Special Flood Hazard Areas. Regulatory Compliance Mechanism: The Vantis Specific Plan area will comply with the intent of the mitigation measure through site design techniques, such as landscaped swales and the use of pavers, turf block and other pervious pavement, to incrementally reduce the amount of discharge from rainfall leaving the site. Because the cohesive nature of the on-site soils would restrict water absorption, the use of detention facilities is not anticipated for the Vantis project. Specific measures will be determined as part of the Site Development Permit review process. The project site is not located within or near the 100-year flood hazard area identified in the City's General Plan Safety Element, Figure S-1, Safety Policy Map, and so no special design features are included in the Vantis Specific Plan. Mitigation Measure LU-1 The City shall prepare, adopt and implement a Zoning Ordinance or Y Specific Plan and Map consistent with State law and the proposed General Plan policies. The City's new Zoning Ordinance can supercede development standards set forth in established Development Agreements only where the proposed development varies from what is allowed under those existing agreements. Until such time as the Zoning Ordinance or Specific Plan is adopted, potential land use impacts resulting from new development projects shall be mitigated through compliance with development standards consistent with the proposed General Plan established by the City through an adopted Development Agreement for the specific new development project. Regulatory Compliance Mechanism: Section 2 of the Vantis Specific Plan identifies the development regulations that shall apply to the Vantis development project. Mitigation Measure PSU-22 The City shall prepare, adopt and implement a Zoning Ordinance or Specific Plan and Map consistent with State law that will contain on-site stormwater retention requirements for all new development to offset or significantly reduce the amount of stormwater created as the area of impermeable surfaces increases. Regulatory Compliance Mechanism: The Vantis Specific Plan area will comply with the intent of the mitigation measure through site design techniques, such as landscaped swales and the use of pavers, turf block and other pervious pavement, to incrementally reduce the amount of discharge from rainfall leaving the site. A determination will be made as part of the subdivision map process where these design features will be located and the extent to which they will be incorporated.

Mitigation Measure PSU-36 The City shall prepare, adopt and implement a Zoning Ordinance or Specific Plan and Map consistent with State law that establishes green building design standards and review/evaluation procedures consistent with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards developed by the U. S. Green Building Council. The Zoning Ordinance or Specific Plan shall also require compliance with Title 24 building construction standards, Energy Star conservation standards, and shall consider appropriate building orientation and landscaping for energy conservation purposes. Regulatory Compliance Mechanism: Section 3, Design Guidelines, of the Specific Plan identifies a menu of construction concepts promoted by the U.S. Green Building Council that will be incorporated into the Vantis community. Residential construction within the Vantis Specific Plan area shall comply with Title 24 and the Energy Star conservation standards. The City shall enforce ' compliance through conditions on Site Development Permit approvals and through the building plan check and inspection process. Mitigation Measure T-4 The City shall prepare, adopt and implement a Zoning Ordinance or r Specific Plan and Map consistent with State law. The Zoning Ordinance or Specific Plan shall include specific standards or procedures for determining parking requirements of proposed development in order to maintain or enhance parking capacity within the City. Until such time as the Zoning Ordinance or a Specific Plan is adopted, parking impacts resulting from new development projects shall be mitigated through compliance with standards consistent with the - proposed General Plan established by the City through an adopted Development Agreement' project, or through compliance with the existing zoning code requirements of the City. Regulatory Compliance Mechanism: Off-street parking requirements for the various uses within the community are stated in the Vantis Specific Plan, Section 2, Sections 2.3.1 b and 2.3.2b, which functions as the zoning criteria for the Vantis Community Benefit Overlay Area. 1.7 Severability If any regulation, condition, program or portion of the Vantis Specific Plan is held invalid or unenforceable, such portions shall be deemed separate, distinct and independent provisions, and the invalidity of such portions or provisions shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining portions and provisions therein. 1.8 Definition of Terms Terms not defined herein shall be as defined in the City's adopted County of Orange Zoning Code. Accessory Structure: A subordinate building located on a building site, the use of which is customarily ancillary to that of a main building or to the use of the land, such as garages, fences, walls, trash enclosures, etc. Accessory Use: A use ancillary to the principal use of the land of building site, or to a building or other structure located on the same building site as the accessory use. Section 1:introduction 1-21 .................................._......._..............__.............. ......._......._....................-....._....._...................-......................._... � pn r Wl antis specific Plan Building Height: Building height shall be measured as the vertical distance from the finished floor of the ground level/first floor to the top of the finished parapet or ridgeline.

Vantis Specific inlay SECTION 2-SITE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS The Vantis Community Benefit Overlay Area is divided into two land use districts in order to manage the orderly planning and development of the site. The urban design elements of each district provide orientation, identity and a sense of community to the plans. Effective regulation of these elements results in a high quality living environment, a community that will improve with age, and a community that becomes a source of pride for its residents and the City. The development regulations defined herein apply only to all uses within the Vantis Specific Plan area; existing, currently proposed, and future. 2.1 Allowed Uses The Vantis Specific Plan provides for development of different uses within different portions of the community. For purposes of establishing development standards and regulations each proposed land use type has its own designation, as identified below. The Professional Office District (SP-1, PO) allows for a diverse mix of uses, including commercial/office which may incorporate a limited amount of retail and medical office, and live work dwellings, and their ancillary uses such as open space, utility services, etc. It is the intent of these allowed uses to provide flexibility for future planning, without mandating a particular final mix of uses. Maximum development is governed by setbacks, floor to area ratios and other standards, _ which are described below. The High Density Residential District (SP-1, HDR) provides for development of multi-family and attached homes) and their ancillary uses, such as recreation centers, utility services, etc. (^ Tables 2-1 and 2-2 identify the allowed uses within each district and the review process required for r- each. Sections 2.1.2 and 2.1.3 describe the City's review process for each allowed use. �- The residential uses within Vantis will be developed as condominium developments. Thus, no individual owner may alter the exterior of a residential unit without the consent of the other owners ` - in the community. For this reason, it is not anticipated that modifications to the exteriors will be made on an individual basis. Any significant alterations to buildings may only be undertaken as part of an overall neighborhood improvement program, and require the participation and consent of the property owners association. r Section 2:Site Dcdci®p11flont StandWS 2-1 I ............................................................................................................................................................_......................................................_..........................................................................................................

The allowed uses generate limited amounts of traffic and parking demand and they create noise levels consistent with those generally anticipated in a business environment. All businesses are subject to compliance with all applicable City regulations and permit requirements `- and must obtain a certificate of use and occupancy from the City. The following regulations apply only to the live/work units within the Professional Office District. ■ Hours of operation of businesses shall be 7:00 am to 9:00 pm during the week, and 8:00 am to 8:00 pm on weekends and observed national holidays. ■ Workspaces may be leased to someone other than the owner or occupant of the living space. r ■ No business may have more than two on-site employees, not including residents of the attached living space, or 6 students or participants, except as expressly provided below, at any one time during the workday. `~ ■ The ground floor commercial space within the live work unit may not be converted into a second living unit or used for residential purposes. ■ Units may not be combined for the purpose of expanding a business use. ■ Commercial uses are limited to the ground floor, and may not be expanded to the upper floors. ■ The workspace must meet the requirements of the building code for the type of activity/use being undertaken. ■ The workspace must be designed and maintained so as to appear as a commercial use.

SOGUOR 2:NO BOV810PIMIGHt MOOS NS 2-5 . ................................................................................. r ` Speoatac Plan 2.2 Development Intensity and Density 2.2.1 Development Intensity The intensity of development in the community is regulated by maximum square footage of land use categories, number of dwelling units, and site development standards that determine the portion of the site that may be developed. The required provision of parking provides an additional determining factor as to the development intensity of the site. The number of dwelling units allowed regulates the density of residential development within Vantis. The total maximum number of dwellings allowed within the Vantis Specific Plan area under the City's General Plan is 350 units, except as allowed through application of a density bonus, as described in Section 2.2.2 and the Vantis Development Agreement. Application of the density bonus will result in a total of 409 allowed units. Residential development within the Vantis Specific Plan shall not exceed a total of 409 dwelling units. For planning purposes and to facilitate the technical and impact analysis, these dwelling units have been divided between the two land use sub-districts, except that no bonus units or affordable units are allocated to the live/work designated units. Providing a minimum and maximum number of units per district allows development flexibility within the Specific Plan while also indicating the `- intended character of development. It is not intended that the maximum number of units within 0 both districts can be achieved, as the total number of allowed units, 409, regulates the Vantis Specific Plan area. The preparation of Site Development Permits and subdivision maps will refine the location and number of dwelling units per district and the type of units within the Professional Office District. Additionally, prevailing market conditions may dictate modifying dwelling unit types and numbers. Table 2-2 identifies the proposed mix of dwelling units and the maximum number of units by district. The live/work units in the Professional Office District are expected to be developed at a gross r' density of approximately 12 units per acre. The multi-family residential units in the High Density Residential District are expected to be developed at a density of 34 units per acre. The townhomes in the High Density Residential District are anticipated to be developed at a gross density of approximately 19 units per acre. The City's General Plan identifies high density residential development within the Vantis Community Benefit Overlay area. This density range allows for ' development of between 18 and 30 units per acre. The combined average density for the High Density Residential District falls within this range and is consistent with the High Density Residential General Plan land use designation. As provided in the General Plan Housing Element, the City, through implementation of the Vantis Development Agreement, may grant a density bonus for the provision of affordable dwellings within the community. In accordance with the City's General Plan Land Use Element, the application of this density bonus enables the Vantis community to exceed the maximum density of the High Density Residential land use designation. Nevertheless, even with application of the density bonus, the average density of the proposed project falls within the 18-30 units/gross acre range allowed for High Density Residential areas under the General Plan.

Specific Pawn 2.2.2 Incentives to Provide Affordable Housing The City of Aliso Viejo, through its General Plan, has identified development goals that include the provision of affordable housing within the community. Through the Vantis Development Agreement, the developer and City of Aliso Viejo have agreed that a density bonus of 59 units may be granted for this site. When the provisions of the Development Agreement are implemented, up to a maximum of 409 dwelling units, including those granted by the density bonus, would be allowed. The density bonus provision would require construction of ten percent of the homes not including those granted through the density bonus, or thirty-five units, be affordable to low income households as defined in Section 50079.5 of the California Health and Safety Code, and payment of in-lieu fees for five percent of the homes affordable to very low income households if not constructed on the site. The specific locations, sizes, phasing, and similar information are contained within the Vantis Affordable Housing Implementation Agreement. 2.3 Site Development Standards For planning purposes the Vantis Specific Plan is divided into two districts. Due to the varied nature of the buildings and uses within the community, differing development regulations are required for each proposed land use type. Development regulations are provided based on building type (_ within each land use district. - 2.3.1 Professional Office District 2.3.La Development Regulations The multi-story commercial/office buildings located along Aliso Viejo Parkway and Enterprise are allowed to incorporate a variety of uses, but have no requirement to do so. The development standards for those buildings are identified below and are those appropriate for buildings of the anticipated mass and scale. Regulations are also provided for the live/work units. These development standards shall apply, regardless of the use or mix of uses contained within the building. ■ Mechanical features located on the rooftop must be screened, but the architectural features used to provide that screening are not considered as part of the building for purposes of ( ` determining building height so long as features do not exceed the minimum amount required to achieve screening. ■ Setbacks from public streets are measured from right-of-way lines. ■ All live/work units take garage access from a drive at the rear of the building. Rear setbacks are measured from the edge of the driveway paving to the garage face. A section of a drive is illustrated in Section 4, Circulation Plan, as Section D on Exhibit 4-4. Section 2:Site Development Standards \ 2-7 _.......................................................__....................................................................... Vanti5 Specific Pico a Roll-up style garage doors shall be used on the live/work units. ® Mechanical equipment such as HVAC units, may encroach into side or rear setbacks of live/work units up to 2.5'. Separate trash and recycling facilities and storage areas shall be provided for the residential and the non-residential components of the live/work units. Exhibit 2-1 provides a conceptual site plan for the Vantis project, and provides additional detailed information regarding development of the Professional Office District. Exhibits 2-2 and 2-3 illustrates how these setbacks are measured. Table 2-4.

Parking will be provided at the following ratios unless an alternate parking study is approved by the City Council. • General office and retail: 4 spaces per 1,000 square feet of net floor area ® Medical office: 6 spaces per 1,000 square feet of net floor area The intial tenant mix within the office buildings might not include the maximum allowable amount of medical office (60,000 square feet). However, in recognizing that future tenants might wish to convert general office space to medical office up to maximum allowed amount, which would require a higher number of parking stalls, the decks must be designed to accommodate the maximum amount of required parking or the entitlement will be restricted. Live/Work Units To serve the residential portion of the live work units, two garage spaces per unit will be provided. The Code requires, and the live/work units will provide, .2 guest spaces per unit. In addition to that requirement, one additional space per unit, regardless of its size, shall be provided. Guest parking for the live/work units may be provided within the High Density Residential District surface parking or in parking stalls located on Vantis. Garage spaces counted towards satisfying the parking requirement may not be utilized for storage but must be permanently and continually available for parking the residents' vehicles in order to provide the required number of off-street spaces per unit. This requirement will be incorporated into the Vantis homeowner association regulations. Additionally, the Vantis homeowner association regulations may implement a designated or assigned parking program to facilitate monitoring of parking use. The Vantis homeowner association regulations will control the location of live/work guest and employee parking. Whenever a mixed use development is designed to reduce vehicle trips by combining commercial and residential uses, reductions to parking requirements through a shared parking program reflecting the reduction in vehicle trips shall be granted through review and approval of a Conditional Use Permit or other process as is adopted by the City. r In addition, shared use of parking facilities is allowed for uses on multiple building sites and for L multiple types of uses, provided the following requirements are met: ` 1) A detailed parking plan, showing all common parking facilities, shall be approved by the City Council. This plan shall demonstrate that the shared use proposal results in an adequate supply of parking for all uses provided, considering their various peak demand periods. ( 2) Parking facilities shall be within five hundred (500) feet of the entry point of the uses they serve. 3) Adequate assurance is provided that the parking being shared will remain available through a reciprocal easement agreement or other similar mechanism.

SPOOR Plan 2.3.2.b Off-Street Parking Requirements The requirements for the number of and design for off-street parking spaces for attached and multi- family homes shall be provided according to the Zoning Code, Section 7-9-145.2, which states the following for two or more dwellings on one building site: Number of Bedrooms Number of Offstreet Number of Parking Spaces Covered P—arking Spaces 0- 1 1.5 1 2 2.0 1 3 or more 2.5 plus.5 for every 2 bedroom in excess of 3 Guest parking is provided at a ratio of .2 spaces per unit for attached homes. In addition to the required parking identified above, tandem parking spaces are provided within many units, but are not counted towards satisfying off-street parking requirements. This provides for two enclosed spaces for all homes and in effect, creates a significant surplus pool of available parking. Because the tandem spaces are not counted towards the satisfaction of the parking requirement, uncovered parking spaces are allocated within the project to provide the minimum number of spaces required. Most of these spaces are located within 200' of the dwelling units they serve. However, the allocated parking for a small percentage of units is located further away, up to 500 feet. This is due to the design goal of having homes face neighborhood streets, such as "C" Street. Because there is no parking provided on this street, homes requiring an allocated uncovered space are a greater distance away from available parking. A parking analysis for Vantis is provided within the project traffic report prepared by RK Engineering Group. This analysis includes exhibits that address the parking distribution for the site and is an attachment to the Addendum to Final Environmental Impact Report for the Aliso Viejo General Plan prepared for the Vantis Specific Plan. Garage spaces counted towards satisfying the parking requirement may not be utilized for storage but must be permanently and continually available for parking the residents' vehicles in order to provide the required number of off-street spaces per unit. This requirement will be incorporated into the Vantis homeowner association regulations. Additionally, the Vantis homeowner association regulations may implement a designated or assigned parking program to facilitate monitoring of parking use. 2.4 Review and Approval Process Differing uses within Vantis will require different types of discretionary reviews and approvals by the City. These discretionary approvals are described in Section 5 of this Specific Plan. Should modified development standards from those identified in the Specific Plan be proposed, the modified development standards may be approved subject to the approval of a Site Development Permit, as provided in Section 2.4.1 below. Minor Site Development Permits and Minor Conditional Use Permits may be acted upon by the Planning Director, or at the Director's discretion, referred to the City Council, as described in Section 5 of this Specific Plan.

Major Site Development Permit applications shall contain the information deemed appropriate and necessary by the Planning Director, and at a minimum shall include the following: 1) Plot plans drawn to scale and clearly indicating the proposed uses, property lines, setbacks to property lines, access to public streets, and other information as determined necessary by the Director. 2) Front, rear and side elevations of all structures including walls and signs, building heights, and exterior materials and exterior colors. 3) Preliminary grading plans indicating how grades relate to surrounding properties. 4) Preliminary landscape plans indicating the general location and size of plant material. Site Development Permits for the Live/Work units and High Density Residential shall have an effective term of two years, and one administrative renewal may be granted for a one-year term. Subsequent extensions will be referred to the City Council for review. Site Development Permits for the Office Buildings shall have an effective term of three years, and one administrative renewal may be granted for a one-year term. Subsequent extension will be referred to the City Council for review. 2.4.2 Major and Minor Conditional Use Permits Conditional Use Permits shall be applied for and reviewed per the City Zoning Code Section 7-9- 150.3 or such other code as is in effect at the time the application is filed, consistent with the Vantis Development Agreement. Within the Live/Work commercial space, certain uses may be allowed subject to the approval of a Minor Conditional Use Permit. The purpose of this review is to allow City staff an opportunity to have discretionary authority to review certain uses within this mixed use neighborhood. These uses are identified on Table 2-1 of the Specific Plan. The information required for application may vary depending on the use, and shall be as determined by the Planning Director. i t S8010B 2:Se18 011VOIMI01 M OP10S 2-13 vends Specific Plan BLDG 130 BLDG 122 BLDG 120 BLDG 110 OFFICE PARKING STRUCTURE OFFICE OFFICE 3 STORIES 7 LEVELS 5 STORIES 5 STORIES OF 55'TO TOP OF 65'TO TOP O TO TOP OF 80'TO TOP BLDG 102 NG OF PARAPET OF PARAPET OF PARAPET OF PARAPET PARKING STRUCTURE __j L 7 LEVELS - `'1 65'TO TOP V I ALISO EJO OF PARAPET BLDG 100 _ _ __ PAR /qy OFFICE z a �� 5 STORIES • 80'TO TOP Q OF PARAPET I � ••61611II I I I I IUMUELLU `♦r f♦ p I' H _ i r r r i OFFICE 8 STORIES LIVE WORK > rti V /i �,r ; ,/ 120'TOTOP 35-45 D.U.

Vantis Sp00ofl0 Plan SECTION S—GUIDELINES FOR DEVELOPMENT New urbanism planning design principles have been included as the design parameters for the Vantis Specific Plan. As noted earlier in the Specific Plan, these principles include creating a main street environment, consideration of human scale, providing connections among uses, employing a connected street network, and creating public spaces and gathering places that provide synergy between adjacent uses. The urban design elements of the plan provide orientation, identity and a sense of community to the Vantis Specific Plan area. Additionally, "green building practices" provide design direction to aid in developing a more sustainable community. The fundamental nature of a mixed use community supports sustainability by incorporating living, working and recreational opportunities in close proximity. Five key principles create the foundation for the Vantis "green building program:" sustainable site design, efficient use of water resources, reduced dependence on non-renewable energy sources, use of rapidly renewable building materials, and improved indoor air quality. These principles are implemented through the design guidelines. Some of these practices are mandatory, and are identified as requirements, while others are encouraged and are provided as guidelines. The purpose of these guidelines is to provide supplemental guidance to implement these design principles. The design guidelines establish community design controls that help interpret the community vision identified in Section 1 and allow for consistent application of the development regulations identified in Section 2 of this Specific Plan. These design guidelines define the fundamental techniques that will be used to achieve the design goals. Incorporation of these guidelines will ensure that Vantis will be an exceptional community. The guidelines contained herein apply to all uses within the Vantis Specific Plan area; existing, currently proposed and future. These guidelines relate to site planning, architecture, and landscape design elements. The site planning guidelines are intended to provide a framework for site analysis and building siting. The architectural guidelines are provided to ensure compatibility of style and design elements within the c project. Although each development parcel is unique, achieving visual continuity is important to create a unified whole. The site planning and architectural guidelines are organized by land use district, Professional Office and High Density Residential. The landscape guidelines are provided separately, as a unifying landscape concept is used for both districts. The Aliso Viejo Town Center is the focal point of the community containing all of the commercial, civic, entertainment, and professional uses for the Aliso Viejo Planned Community. These guidelines provide for the planning, design and development of /" the Vantis Specific Plan within the Town Center. ' ' 3.1 Site Planning The Site Planning Guidelines are intended to provide a framework for site analysis and building siting. While each development parcel is unique, visual continuity is important. The site planning process should facilitate the maintenance of - - consistency, functionality, and compatibility with the surrounding urban scenery. The goal is to achieve clarity of organization and simplicity of circulation.

Planted areas are used to frame and soften structures, to define site functions, to enhance the quality of the environment, to screen undesirable views, and to create identity. The Vantis Landscape Illustrative Plan, Exhibit 3-4, Landscape Concept Section Exhibit 3-5 and Landscape Framework Plan, Exhibit 3-6 follow. Additionally, images intended to convey the landscape character of open spaces, plazas r and paseos within Vantis are illustrated on Exhibit 3-7. These images are based on preliminary ti assumptions and design concepts and are representative in nature. The following is a list of suggested plant materials. All trees should be a minimum 24" box and all shrubs should be a minimum 1 gallon size with the exception of the enhanced landscape and entries which should require a larger box and gallon size. The use of flats is permitted where appropriate based on plant needs and all turf should be sodded. All other materials that are harmonious and in keeping with the character of the project are permitted. t_ Vantis shall make use of low-water and native plant material, especially in areas adjacent to t- sidewalks and other impermeable surfaces per City of Aliso Viejo General Plan policies. At least 50% of the landscape plants in the community shall be drought tolerant, native or xeriscape plant species and be classified as "low water needs" (L) as identified below. 3.3.1 Perimeter Landscape The perimeter streets will blend into the existing mixed informal streetscape already established at the project edges. The landscape will consist of deciduous accent trees and backdrop evergreen trees with a mix of groundcovers and turf parkways. The slope planting will consist of an informal display of deciduous accent trees and shrubs and meandering evergreen trees that will screen the structures below. The three entry landscapes consist of primary and secondary hierarchy. The primary entry exhibits formal rows of palm trees with formal hedges, groundcover and turf below. The secondary entries will consist of formal urban deciduous orchard trees accented by rows of contrasting shrubs and ` groundcovers. The entry at Enterprise may include a retaining wall adjacent to the slope. _ Landscape planting will screen this wall.

Proposed utility backbone facilities and service lines will be underground, except for switching cabinets, transformers, and similar standard structures. 4.4 Solid Waste Regular trash pickup is provided by the City of Aliso Viejo through contracted services. Household waste recycling services are also provided through the City in order to comply with state-mandated solid waste reduction goals (AB 939). Because all residential components of the Vantis Specific Plan area are condominiums, and the landscape maintenance will be provided through a property owners association, it is not expected that greenwaste facilities will be provided on site. Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) provides and manages hazardous waste collection facilities at several locations throughout the County. The closest drop-off location to Vantis is in the City of Irvine. 4.5 Emergency Services The County of Orange Sheriff Department provides police services for Vantis under contract to the City of Aliso Viejo. The Sheriff Department's Aliso Viejo Station is located at 11 Journey, across from City Hall. The City of Aliso Viejo contracts with OCFA for fire protection service. OCFA fire stations that can serve the property exist in the City of Aliso Viejo at 57 Journey at the intersection of Pacific Park Drive, in the City of Laguna Niguel at 24241 Avila Road and at 24001 Paseo de Valencia in Laguna Woods. There are three hospitals within service range of Vantis; Saddleback Community Hospital in Laguna Hills, Mission Community Hospital in Mission Viejo and South Coast Community Hospital in south Laguna Beach. 4.6 Schools The Capistrano Unified School District provides public school facilities for the Vantis area. The school district's staff has indicated that students from Vantis can be accommodated by the existing and planned facilities within the District's boundary. Vantis will comply with the state of California's mandated school fee program, and those fees will be paid through a Community Facilities District. 4.7 Circulation Regional access to the Vantis Specific Plan area is provided via the San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor, a limited access, divided toll road and Aliso Viejo Parkway and Pacific Park Drive, both designated in the City's General Plan as major arterial roadways. Both Aliso Viejo Parkway and Pacific Park Drive are part of the Orange County Transit Authority's bus route 490, which travels through Aliso Viejo, Laguna Niguel and to the Metrolink rail station. A bus shelter will be constructed as part of the Vantis project, as identified in Section 4.8.1, below. Local roadways that provide access to the site include Enterprise to the north and Grand to the south. Interior to the site several roadways are planned. All interior roadways are proposed as private streets. Exhibit 4-4 illustrates the planned roadway configurations. Sections shown on Exhibit 4-4 illustrate how the streets, parking, sidewalks and landscaped areas relate to one another, based Section 4:Infrastructure and Circulation 4-2 .................................................................... ............ ............................ ...................................... ................................... .............................................................................. ............................... Vantis Specific PBee on the current conceptual site plan (Exhibit 2-1). Within the Professional Office District there are three streets, Vantis, the community's main north south traversing street, Vantis Drive, the existing project entry from Aliso Viejo Parkway, and "C" Street, which connects Vantis to Enterprise. The existing width of Vantis Drive will remain at 76' with two eastbound lanes and three westbound travel lanes divided by a 10' raised median. The existing circular terminus will be reconfigured to create a three-way intersection in which Vantis Drive ends at Vantis. Vantis will be designed with a 50' paved width, including one 12' wide southbound travel lane and an 18' northbound travel lane. A 20' perpendicular parking lane is provided on the east side adjacent to the live/work units. No on-street parking is proposed adjacent to the office buildings. Beyond the paved section on the east (live/work) side, there is a 15' setback for the pedestrian walkway and landscape plantings. On the west (commercial building) side of the street there is a 9' landscaped parkway and a 7' sidewalk (See Section 1 of Exhibit 4-4). "C" Street includes one travel lane in each direction with parallel parking on one side of the street in a 38' paved section. On the south side of the street a slope leads up to the residential units and a 2' bench is provided at the bottom of the slope adjacent to the roadway. On the north side of the street is a 15' setback area containing a sidewalk and landscaping (See Section 5 of Exhibit 4-4). Two streets within the High Density Residential District, "D" and "E," form a loop to connect to Vantis. These streets provide one 12' travel lane in each direction and parking on each side. The parking is provided in either a parallel parking lane or in a perpendicular parking bay (see Sections 2 - and 3 on Exhibit 4-4). Adjacent to parallel parking, residential streets have a landscaped parkway with the sidewalk set behind the parkway. Adjacent to perpendicular parking, the sidewalk is set adjacent to the curb, with a landscaped parkway behind the sidewalk. The widths of the sidewalks and landscaped areas vary depending on the location within the community. In order to have homes face the street or community walkways and place garages at the rear of homes, garage access is provided off driveways. These driveways include a 25' wide paved section (including rolled curbs, if utilized). A minimum of 3' of separation is provided between the edge of the paving and the building or garage door. This separation provides adequate space for landscaping between drive aprons along the driveway to beautify the appearance of the buildings. 4.8 Public Improvements The following are the public and private improvement projects that are a part of the Vantis Specific Plan area. Section 5.4.1 of the Specific Plan also discusses public and private improvements required as part of the development. 4.8.1 Physical Improvements ® Bus Shelter- A bus shelter will be constructed at one of the current turn-out locations: either on Aliso Viejo Parkway to the north of the entrance to the commercial area or on Enterprise, east of Aliso Viejo Parkway. ■ Bicycle Lane Improvements - The existing bicycle lane striping on Aliso Viejo Parkway adjacent to the property frontage shall be modified in accordance with City standards, as deemed necessary by the City Engineer due to changes in ingress and egress to the project. Section 4:Infrastructure and Circulation 4-3 ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................._..... vends spooufuo Plan Median Improvements - The existing painted median in Aliso Viejo Parkway adjacent to the property frontage shall be modified in accordance with City standards, as deemed necessary by the City Engineer due to changes in ingress and egress to the project. Grand Avenue - The roundabout on Grand Avenue at the southern side of the project site shall be modified for the purpose of slowing traffic on Grand Avenue and eliminating illegal turn movements through the roundabout. ® Trail System - A trail system shall be constructed, that at a minimum, connects Vantis to Grand Park. This trail system shall be constructed in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Public Plaza - A plaza, approximately 4,100 square feet in size, and large enough to allow seating for 200 people, shall be constructed near the intersection of Aliso Viejo Parkway and Enterprise. 4.8.2 Financial Contributions to City Projects In addition to the physical improvements listed in Section 4.8.1, the developer of the Vantis Specific Plan area shall participate in a variety of fee programs and make other financial contributions toward improvement projects and programs benefiting Vantis and as well as the surrounding community. The City will use these fees for improvements such as street widening, intersection improvements, safety enhancements, landscaping, and other measures. The Vantis Development - Agreement identifies the purposes and amounts of those contributions, the timing for payments, l and other particulars. The City's ability to fund its share of each project, where applicable, is based upon the allocation of limited financial resources throughout the City. Each year during the preparation of the City's (! annual budget, the City Council will determine which projects or portion thereof are to be funded t by the City, their costs, and specific schedule for implementation. Design and materials shall be determined through the capital improvement program process. This shall include public meetings to receive comments from affected parties. Final approval of plans, including, but not limited to streetscape improvements and intersection improvements, shall be made by the City Council. i� sootiouu 4:Wrootrueotuero and Wouoiotiouu 4-4 Yantis ------ ------------------- - -------------- ----- --1 _- �-=- �- - -- ==--____--- -----------------______-__-_ ------====_=__ --- ---- ----__ ---- Specific Plan a , 1' I EXISTING DESILTING BASIN -- ;' z OFFICE 8 ILDING STRUCTURE I � � �� i o 0 0 0 /0 o I�I ,I�la , �� _ \ r � r � O O O O O EXISTING_T MPORARY 0 o PARKING LOT o o 0 0 0 0 r ® o 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ONNIM DESILTING BASIN ` EXISTING �— DESILTING BASIN j I EXISTING � . - � EXISTING STORM WATER QUALITY —S UCTURE� � � '�`• � � ,� � �� a EXISi1NGr+.11\t\ DESILTING�B IN -- -- ------, , - r �� Scale 9"=966' =�_— \3 ;, _ \� Ex hibit 4��e existing topography and Drainage ` Vantis - : Specific Plan AMA - . . x - 7p - 81 d � 4 PAD-48,0 0 9 OFFICE BUILDING FF i483.00 ;. __- FF=482.00 - — PAD:481.17 �.
