Chair Olson called for a five minute break at 8:39 p.m. and thereafter reconvened the regular meeting at 8:44 p.m. New Item b. PUD-84-21-4M, Civic Square, L.L.C., & Andy Byde, Braddock &Logan Services, Inc. Application for a PUD modification to add 36 new apartment units in five new buildings, a new clubhouse/rental office in one new building, and miscellaneous site modifications at the Civic Square Apartments located at 4800 Bernal Avenue. Zoning for the property is PUD–HDR (Planned Unit Development – High Density Residential) District. Marion Pavan presented the staff report and described the scope and key elements of the application. He noted that a condition regarding accommodating recycling bins in the trash enclosures had been inadvertently omitted in Exhibit A, Conditions of Approval. Chair Olson noted that a condition was missing in the description of the difference between the development itself and the City Council direction and inquired if this was the condition regarding trash enclosures. Mr. Pavan replied that it was. Chair Olson inquired if this would be added as a new condition. Mr. Pavan replied that this is included in the table on page 5 of the staff report and confirmed that it would be added as a new condition. Commissioner Pentin referred to pages 10-11 of the staff report regarding the California Building Code (CBC) requirement to install a roll-in shower in one of the bathrooms for units with two bathrooms. He inquired if, in the event the one-bathroom option is not acceptable to the Planning Commission and the Planning Commission does not take any action tonight, a condition could be added to redesign the units with one bathroom at the building permit stage to accommodate a roll-in shower. Mr. Pavan replied that this could presumably occur but added that if the Commission would like to ensure that this happens, it should add a condition that all ground-floor units shall have two full bathrooms with a toilet, sink, tub, and shower. Referring to parking requirements on page 12 of the staff report, Commissioner Pentin inquired whether the existing number of parking spaces would be sufficient with the proposed additional units. Mr. Pavan replied that the existing number of parking spaces exceeds the Code requirement of 1.63 parking spaces per unit with a 1.93 to 1.95 spaces per unit.
