<br /> STAFF RECOMMENDATION
<br /> Based in the analysis stated in the agenda report, staff is recommending that the Planning
<br /> Commission deny the proposed 5-lot residential development and the amendments to the
<br /> North Sycamore Specific Plan (NSSP) to increase number of residential units by taking the
<br /> following actions:
<br /> 1. Make the finding that not all PUD considerations for the proposed PUD development
<br /> plan can be made as discussed in the agenda report;
<br /> 2. Adopt a resolution recommending denial of project as proposed, and forward the
<br /> application to the City Council for public hearing and review.
<br /> EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
<br /> Alaina Stewart, on behalf of the family trust, Bringhurst LLC, is proposing a 5-lot single-family
<br /> residential subdivision on the existing approximately 3.28-acre site at 990 Sycamore Road,
<br /> which is two more lots than currently allowed by the North Sycamore Specific Plan (NSSP) and
<br /> requires approval of a Specific Plan Amendment. NSSP amendments are also required to
<br /> allow three of the lots to have vehicular access from Sycamore Creek Way, to allow one of the
<br /> PUD-A lots to be less than one acre in area, and to realign the planned public trail on the site.
<br /> The project was previously reviewed by the Planning Commission as a work session item on
<br /> July 11, 2018. The Planning Commission stated it could generally support three homes
<br /> fronting Sycamore Creek Way if they were designed to be comparable to the design, setbacks,
<br /> building mass and bulk, and floor area of the adjacent Sycamore Heights homes on Sycamore
<br /> Creek Way. The Commission was concerned with the proposed additional lot and future home
<br /> on Sycamore Road and its compatibility with the existing neighborhood. The Planning
<br /> Commission suggested the future home on this lot, if allowable, should be less visible and
<br /> maintain the rural character of the area.
<br /> While the project is proposed to follow the design pattern along Sycamore Creek Way,
<br /> amending the Specific Plan is a significant request and would allow for an increase in density
<br /> and unit count beyond that envisioned for the site in the NSSP. Staff does not support the
<br /> specific plan amendment to allow for the density increase; thus recommends the Planning
<br /> Commission recommend the City Council deny the applications.
