Vice Chair Brown asked if there was an entitlement to a separate garage. Ms. Clark stated the guidelines did not restrict the location of accessory structures. Commissioner Allen inquired whether the new ADU laws would allow development anywhere on the lot. Assistant City Attorney Julie Harryman explained that the new ADU laws allowed four-foot rear and side yard setbacks. Commissioner Allen clarified that ADU laws allowed building anywhere. In response to Commissioner Pace, Ms. Harryman confirmed that the new laws still only allowed one home and one ADU. Commissioner Pace asked if the applicant would be bound by current approval if the ADU law changed. Vice Chair Brown stated State law would prevail. He summarized the Commission's consensus that it was amenable to the proposed lots, size, shape, and location. He inquired if the Commission agreed with Lot 1 and 5 and the lot line location and suggested that a discussion regarding amenities would be appropriate under different circumstances. Commissioner Pace inquired who was responsible for the trail along Dale Way. Ms. Soo responded that it would be the property owner's responsibility. Vice Chair Brown stated that Dale Way would be the new preferred route for the trail, which was an amenity. Commissioner Allen inquired about additional units being created and an expected amenity. She discussed the statement in the NSSP requiring a quid pro quo. Ms. Clark explained that the City could not arbitrarily require amenities without a nexus and explained negotiations related to additional amenities. Vice Chair Brown asked staff's recommendation on amenities for a four- or five-lot project. Ms. Clark stated they did not have a recommendation and asked the Planning Commission's input on the currently proposed amenity for a donation to the cemetery. Commissioner Allen stated she did not feel the contribution was enough and suggested a trail- oriented contribution. She stated she was potentially open to two lots, but she was concerned that it would not have the right feel. She agreed with the smaller size of Lot 1 due to Dale Way. She suggested a larger country, cottage type house, 1,500-2,000 square feet, with a one or two car garage on a smaller pad set to the furthest northeast portion of the lot. Commissioner Pace responded that he also felt a larger contribution should be made, something to help maintain trails. He expressed concern about the size and massing of the proposed structure.
