The Planning Commission questioned and was concerned about the City's prior decision to allow site grading and stubbing of utilities prior to receiving project approvals, and that more utility laterals had been allowed than the number of residential lots/homes permitted by the NSSP. Although no formal vote was taken, in discussion, the majority of the Commission was supportive of the potential NSSP amendment and allowing some additional development on this property, seeing it as a way to logically continue the now-established development pattern along Sycamore Creek Road. The Commission indicated the three lots/homes fronting Sycamore Creek Way would need to have comparable lot sizes and similar setbacks and architecture/design as the homes in the Sycamore Heights development and to provide an appropriate transition between new lots and existing lots fronting Sycamore Creek Way at either end of the site, noting that the lot size and setback varied between the lots to the east and to the west. Following the 2008 workshop, no further action was taken by the applicant to pursue the development of the site until the current submittal. July 11, 2018, Planning Commission Work Session In order to receive early feedback from the Planning Commission and any interested individuals regarding the proposed project, a Planning Commission work session was held on July 11, 2018. After taking public testimony, the Planning Commission provided the following comments on the work session discussion points (additional comments made by the Commission are in the attached minutes — Exhibit C): 1. Would the Planning Commission support the requested NSSP amendments including the following: a. Amending the land use designation for a one-acre portion of the site, from PUD- A to PUD-LDR, to allow the site to be developed with five lots instead of three: b. Amending the NSSP text to allow one of the PUD-A lots to be less than an acre in size, so the creek can be located within one of the two PUD-A parcels; c. Realigning the multi-use trail as shown in Figure 5; If not, is some alternative number of lots (more than three) or lot configuration more appropriate? (Alternatives include, for example, two lots fronting Sycamore Creek Way and two to the south; or three lots along Sycamore Creek Way, and a single large lot to the south)? The Commission was not unanimous in supporting the five-lot proposal. The Commission supported the three lots along Sycamore Creek Way and found the proposed 15,000-lot- size is appropriate and compatible with the neighborhood. As for the proposed lot front Sycamore Road, the Commission wanted to ensure, with the new lot, the existing rural character would be maintained. Commission suggested photo simulations be included in the formal application submittal which would show the massing of the proposed home in context with the existing neighborhood. The Commission indicated it could support the trail realignment. PUD-135, P19-0030, P19-0031 and Vesting Tentative Map 8528 990 Sycamore Road Planning Commission 8 of 23 tree canopies.
