ATTACHMENT 5 PUD -82, David DiDonato, Donato Builders, Inc. Application for Planned Unit Development Rezoning of an approximately 1.17 - acre site located at 4171 and 4189 Stanley Boulevard from R -1 -6,500 (One - Family Residential) District to Planned Unit Development — High Density Residential (PUD -HDR) District and for Development Plan approval to construct 14 detached single - family homes. Steve Otto presented the staff report and described the scope, layout, and key elements of the project. Commissioner Blank stated that he took issue with a comment made regarding the Commission not being clear about density. He indicated that he had read the Minutes; all five Commissioners expressed concern about density, and four of the five Commissioners recommended removal of a unit or a significant reduction in floor area ratios (FAR). Mr. Otto agreed that the Commission concurred about reducing the FAR; however, with respect to density or the number of units, he understood from his reading of the Minutes that some Commissioners did support the proposed density. Mr. Dolan added that intensity would be measured by the FAR and that density is measured as units per acre. Commissioner Blank noted that the number of units is the same and it appears that with respect to the house sizes, Plan 1 has been reduced by 10 square feet, and Plan 2 has been reduced by 32 square feet. He inquired if staff considers this to be a significant enough reduction to make a real impact, given the number of Plan 1 and Plan 2 units and only one unit of Plan 3. Mr. Otto replied that staff did not feel there was an exact number that the homes had to be reduced by. He added that staff agrees that the square footage of the first two models was not reduced substantially; however, the third model which was originally over 2,000 square feet has been reduced to 1,920 square feet. Commissioner Blank corrected his earlier statement that there was only one unit of Plan 3; he noted that there are three Plan 3 units. Commissioner O'Connor stated that there had been a lot of discussion and concern from the Commission and the public regarding parking. He inquired if parking would be an issue if everything were done according to the proposal. He further inquired how the City would police the parking and the restriction of not utilizing garages for storage. Mr. Otto replied that ideally, the City would not police the parking or garage use. He stated that it would be included in the requirements of the CC &R's and recorded with the properties, and the residents themselves would take care of it. He added that there EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, September 15, 2010 Page 1 of 9
