RE: SDP - 2013 -11 and ARB- 2013 -18: Old Trail Village Block 2B Rutherfoord Hotel
Major Site Plan Amendment
DATE: March 1, 2013
Background and Requirements
SDP - 2013 -11: Old Trail Village Block 2B has been submitted for review as a major site plan amendment. As a result of a
Zoning Ordinance amendment that became effective on January 1, 2013, the ARB, as a member of the Site Review
Committee, is required to review and comment on this plan (32.3.3 and 32.4.2.2). The purpose of this ARB review is to
determine consistency of the plan with the EC design guidelines pertaining to 1) size and arrangement of structures, 2)
location and configuration of parking areas and landscaping, and 3) preservation of existing vegetation and natural
features (30.6.4(c)(2) and (3) and (5)). This ARB review is limited to the information provided in the initial plan under
Sections 32.5.2 -5. As a result of this review, the ARB shall transmit to the agent 1) its requirements to satisfy the design
guidelines, 2) recommendations regarding the plan as it relates to the guidelines, and 3) recommended conditions of plan
approval, including conditions to be satisfied prior to issuance of a grading permit.
Review and Recommendations
Staff has reviewed the plan and has determined that it is eligible for staff review as a Countywide Certificate of
Appropriateness for a structure located 750' or more from the Entrance Corridor. Consequently, staff recommends that the
ARB forward the following recommendations to the agent:
Regarding requirements to satisfy the design guidelines as per 30.6.4(2), (3) and (5):
None.
• Regarding recommendations on the plan as it relates to the guidelines:
None.
Regarding recommended conditions of initial site plan approval:

walls, equipment, and landscaping will be the focus of review of the Countywide Certificate of Appropriateness,
and 2) there are discrepancies between the plant schedule and the landscape plan that require correction.
• Regarding conditions to be satisfied prior to issuance of a grading permit:
