PUBLIC HEARING NO. 1
Inter-Corn
Honorable Chairman and Planning Agency Members
Community Development Department
Variance No. 81-2
Applicant: Bert W. Tarayao A.I.A.,
Location: 14682 Holt Avenue
Request:
Authorization to develop 5 (five) residential
condominium units
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
At the April 6, 1981 meeting, the Planning Agency reviewed a site
plan for five residential condominium units which made extensive
use of turf block in drive areas in an attempt to satisfy open
space requirements of the Planned Development District.
The Agency did not agree that the turf block could be used to
satisfy open space requirements and the members determined that the
plan as submitted did not have sufficient open space for a
favorable finding. The action was continued so that the architects
could design a plan which more closely satisfies the City
development standard.
The land use calculations for the revised plan are as follows:
5 - 2 story units
10 - parking spaces (garages)
Building Area - 4574.45 sq. ft.
Driveways 2934 sq. ft.
Open space - 7561.25 sq. ft. (50.17%)
The plan incorporates a common recreation area in the rear of the
site with a breezeway entry between the units.
The plan does satisfy minimum requirements of the district but
staff does have concerns relating to circulation.
Variance No. 81-2
May 4, 1981
Page Two
The plan indicates one visitor parking space. This space
was not counted in the land coverage to attain the 50%
maximum. It is suggested that this area be designed as a
front walk entry to the first unit side and rear yard
which could be used for an excess parking space. Use by
any tenants should be prohibited in the CC&R's.
e
The turn around area in the rear may present difficulties
for delivery vehicles. The trash enclosure has been
placed near the front of the site for this reason. The
backup area from garage entrances is 32'6".
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Favorable consideration of the application is recommended since the
re-design satisfies minimum standards. Draft Resolution No. 1956
is submitted for Agency consideration.
