Commissioner Pearce indicated that she voted no because she did not support the <br /> removal of the existing house and trees. Commissioner Pearce suggested that <br /> townhomes be constructed around the existing house and that a minimum of 15 units <br /> be built, which would require affordable housing units be constructed per the City's <br /> Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance (e.g., three affordable housing units would be required <br /> for a 15-unit single-family home or townhouse project). <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> The subject infill development has been designed in conformity with the General Plan <br /> and Downtown Specific Plan. Furthermore, staff believes that the architectural style of <br /> the homes is appropriate for Downtown and that the homes will be an attractive addition <br /> to the Stanley Boulevard area. A detailed analysis and discussion of the proposal is <br /> included in the attached Planning Commission staff report dated September 15, 2010, <br /> including: General Plan and Downtown Specific Plan conformity, zoning and uses, site <br /> design, demolition of the existing dwelling, traffic and circulation, parking, noise and <br /> vibration, grading, drainage, utilities, building design, house sizes and FAR, site <br /> development standards, Green Building, common and private open space, landscaping <br /> and fencing, tree removal and mitigation, and Growth Management. This report <br /> includes supplemental discussion regarding a neighbors concern with sunlight impacts. <br /> Sunlight Impacts <br /> Darell Walterson, adjacent resident at 4151 Stanley Boulevard, contacted staff after the <br /> Planning Commission hearing and voiced concern that the proposed homes would <br /> block sunlight from reachinc the photovoltaic (PV) panels that are located on the roof of <br /> his detached garage (see site plan and photograph below). Mr. Walterson also <br /> questioned if there were any State laws protecting his PV panels from the proposed <br /> development. <br /> I I #jS ir <br /> L-6,-,- 1=- d A -- r‘ - <br /> Lir <br /> is/ $") <br /> r <br /> i I I 3n. <br /> 4 <br /> sL <br /> g x [Existing Garage tr <br /> Lr- <br /> '� S I Y {with PV Pannls a'� N - • („1 F� o _ y . <br /> scot.; e.n r i i <br /> x 't a �:) 4151 ,'.:2”:•!2,,,•.,- 3`V 4 <br /> I t .
