Mr. Beaudin suggested an approach to this condition of approval, for the area be designed in some way acceptable to the Commission as part of this approval, with the specifics to be brought back for approval by the Commission, as a follow-up requirement. If the determination is for landscape enhancements only, the City has a landscape architect on staff, and so it could be handled at a staff level. If the condition is designed to create a landscape edge along the residential property line and use of the space consistent with a contemplation garden or something similar, the Commission could make a decision as to whether this would need to come back to the Commission or have it handed through a staff-level development review process, as well as to timing of the improvement. Chair Nagler supported this approach, and suggested it could be a condition of approval allowing for review by staff. In that context, he would be supportive of limiting the number of people that could be gathered in that space, which would be a reasonable solution to allow small group outdoor activity while being sensitive to the neighbors. Mr. Beaudin suggested the Commission make a decision as to whether to continue beyond 11:00 p.m., noting the next applicant does want to be heard. Chair Nagler suggested, and the Commission agreed, to move through the current item and also undertake the next item on the agenda. Chair Nagler asked if there were any other conditions other than the 5 conditions any Commissioner would like to discuss. Commissioners requested a discussion of revisions to Condition Nos. 3, 5, 7, 10, 11, 18, 24 and 26: Condition Nos. 5 and 7: Building a condition regarding a contemplation garden and staff's recommendation to relocate the playground. • Location of the Playground: There was consensus among the Commissioners for the playground location on the west side. • Addition of a condition for a contemplation garden: Commissioners suggested it be included in the approval and to allow staff to review its design. Commissioner O'Connor disagreed due to the area's close proximity to neighbors, and wanted to leave it as a buffer zone. Chair Nagler was opposed to restricting the number of small group outdoor activities; however, if a contemplation garden is allowed to be designed, this is a way to give Chabad use of the land and the trade-off will be the size of the outdoor activities anywhere. • Mr. Beaudin suggested modifying Condition No. 5, rather than No. 7. Commission discussion ensued regarding the number of people allowed outdoors in the buffer area/contemplation area on the north side and noise. • Regarding the outdoor patio area which is adjacent to the parking lot, the majority of Commissioners (3-2) supported the condition for unrestricted use for up to 24 people from 10AM to 10PM; EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, June 27, 2018 Page 13 of 15
