Planning Commission Agenda Pack 91025 (1)

P25-0236, 2207 Martin Avenue. Planning Commission 4 of 6 Zoning The subject property is zoned PUD-LDR and is subject to the R-1-40,000 District development standards, as well as more site-specific development standards incorporated into the Conditions of Approval adopted as part of PUD-148. Tennis Court Development Standards The PMC does not address sports courts and associated lighting. However, the approval for PUD-148 includes specific tennis court development standards, which include the following: a. Allow fencing at a maximum height of 10 feet in height at the front and rear (narrow) ends of the tennis court. b. Allow fencing at a maximum height of 8 feet on the long sides of the tennis court, extending from the 10-foot-high corner poles to the service lines. c. Vining vegetation shall be planted to grow along the tennis court fencing, and tall, 5-gallon minimum vegetation shall be placed between the tennis court and northern property line fencing. d. The Applicant and neighbor (appellant) shall share repair costs of an approximately 7-foot-high solid wood fence along the northern property line between 2207 Martin Avenue and 3520 Dennis Drive. If the applicant and neighbor have not shared costs to pay for the repairs within six months of the effective date of this approval, the applicant shall be relieved of this condition. e. Tennis court lighting above 8 feet in height shall require Administrative Design Review. Since the approval of PUD-148, the applicant has added vegetation on the northern property/fence line and increased the height of the existing wood fence at the rear (along Dennis Drive) from approximately 6 feet to 7 feet pursuant to an approved over-height-fence permit (Case No. P24-0196). The applicant has also completed construction of the step-down style tennis court fencing with vegetation as required by item c above (Exhibit B). Furthermore, the applicant is no longer subject to item d above due to the lapse of time. The applicant proposes tennis court lighting consistent with, or below, industry standards for recreational tennis courts (see May 22, 2024, agenda report for industry standard analysis). Exhibit B includes a photometric study evaluating six anti-glare, approximately 15-foot-tall light poles with approximately 18-inch extension arms, three of which–on the north side–are equipped with shields. The lighting/photometric study also provides nighttime and footcandle color renderings illustrating the lighting impacts. Both renderings show the light focused downward toward the court with no spillover beyond the property boundaries. According to the lighting/photometric study (Exhibit B), the proposed lighting, with the included mitigation measures, would result in zero light spillover to the adjacent north property or to Dennis Drive across the rear property line. In addition, existing vegetation provides further light mitigation. As part of the original tennis court and fencing approvals under PUD-148, a mix of plantings was installed and has since matured to a height of approximately 6 to 9 feet (Exhibit B). The application also provides existing lighting conditions adjacent to/near the project site, including streetlights on Dennis Drive and garage lights from the adjacent property to the north at 3520 Dennis Drive. Staff believes the proposed tennis court lighting would not significantly increase the overall lighting in the surrounding area. As part of the ADR approval, the lights are
