r 4. REVISIONS AND OMISSIONS TO THE AGENDA Mr. Swift advised that Item 6.b., PPUD-4, South Front Investors, LLC, and Item 6.d., Review of the 2000 Growth Management Report, are continued to the January 24 meeting. 5. MATTERS CONTINUED FOR DECISION There were none. 6. PUBLIC HEARINGS a. Tentative Tract Map 7193, New Cities Development Group (Sycamore Heie:hts) Application for vesting tentative tract map approval to subdivide two parcels at 970 Sycamore Road, totaling 34.7 acres, into 49 single-family residential lots (48 new homes and one existing residence) and three (3) open space parcels. Zoning for the property is PUD-LDR (Planned Unit Development - Low Density Residential) District. r- Brian Swift presented the staff report, providing an overview of the application. He noted that there are several lot line adjustments associated with the tentative map. He advised that the staff report identifies and addresses issues which required further evaluation at the tentative map stage after the PUD development plan was approved by the City Council. Mr. Swift noted that staff feels these issues have been resolved to the satisfaction of staff, the applicant, and the neighboring homeowners. He stated that one of the key changes between the approval of the PUD development plan and the tentative map is the location of three lots along "E" Court. He reported that the PUD development plan shows the location of these three lots along the east side of the court. The tentative map relocates these lots to the west side of "E" Court, thus providing a much larger open space area. He advised that staff feels this is the superior configuration. Mr. Swift advised that the neighbors have indicated that they are in agreement with this modification, and, therefore, staff supports this change. Mr. Swift advised that other items requiring resolution at the tentative map stage included the creek restoration, emergency vehicle access, and fencing and landscaping plans. He noted that staff believes all ofthese issues have been resolved satisfactorily. Mr. Swift noted that staff is requesting that the Planning Commission add an additional condition related to the modification of the landscape plan, which is stated in the memo distributed to the Commission this evening. He also stated that staff is requesting that Condition #26 be modified to change "east" to "west" and "eastern" to "western," in keeping with the relocation oflots 29, 30, and 31 from the east side ofthe street to the west side of the street. He advised that staff is also requesting that Condition #7 be modified to add an offer of dedication for a pedestrian way over the existing public service easement that currently runs along the western side of Lot I, and to provide for appropriate flood protection for the residents on Lot I. He advised that staff is recommending approval of the project. r PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES January 10,2001 Page 2
