residence with an attached approximately 522 -square -foot garage on Parcel B. The subject lot is part of the North Sycamore Specific Plan, however, it has never had a PUD development plan approved. As such, the project requires PUD development plan approval. The Planning Commission may recommend approval, approval with conditions, or denial of the application to the City Council. BACKGROUND Specific Plan As noted, the subject lot at 535 Sycamore Road is located within the North Sycamore Specific Plan (NSSP) area. The City Council adopted the NSSP in June of 1992. In September of 1992, the NSSP area was pre -zoned with several PUD designations, but without a PUD development plan for any portion of the NSSP. The NSSP area was annexed to the City in June of 1993. Within the NSSP, the subject lot has a land use designation of Planned Unit Development Agricultural (PUD -A). The intent of the PUD -A land use designation is to allow residential development on larger lots with buffers from existing rural residential uses both within and adjacent to the NSSP area as well as allow agricultural uses on the lots. The designation is further intended to maintain adequate light, air, privacy, and separation between dwellings and requires specific landscape, fencing, lighting, and other design requirements unique to the district. The NSSP requires a minimum parcel size of one -acre for the PUD -A land use designation. Site Description The subject lot is located on the south side of Sycamore Road, just off Sycamore Creek Way, as seen in Figure 1. Figure 1: Aerial PUD -145, 535 Sycamore Rd. Planning Commission 2of9
