allowed on the front of a house, then you would lose 20 ft. of the house width at the front <br /> portion of the house for a 20 ft. wide by 20 ft. deep two-car garage (the minimum dimensions <br /> allowed by Municipal Code). On a 50 ft. wide lot (a common residential lot width Downtown), <br /> that would result in a remaining width of 14 ft. for the living area of the house adjacent to the <br /> garage and a 34 ft. house width beyond the garage after the City setbacks are applied for the <br /> RM-4,000 Zoning District (which includes the homes on the east side of First St. and the west <br /> side of Second St.). Conversely, a 10-ft. wide driveway on the side of the house with one-ft.. <br /> wide landscape planters on either side (12-ft. total) results in a 31-ft. wide house after the City <br /> setbacks are applied, which is wider at the front of the house than if the garage is attached and <br /> only three feet less in width behind the attached garage option. A graphic example of this is <br /> shown on Exhibit I along with examples for the other residential zoning districts in the <br /> Downtown Specific Plan Area: the R-1-6,500 and RM-1,500 Districts. <br /> Staff notes that there are many examples of 50 ft. wide lots with driveways on the side of the <br /> house leading to a detached garage in the rear of the lot. For example, on the west side of <br /> Second St. between Kottinger Dr. and Arendt St., where most of the 13 lots are 50 ft. wide, there <br /> is a driveway on the side of all of the homes except for the corner lot at Kottinger Dr. (which has <br /> a driveway on Kottinger Dr. and no driveway on Second St.). <br /> Options for Consideration <br /> The following are a few options that the Commission may wish to consider and/or discuss: <br /> 1. Use the Task Force's recommendation without changes. <br /> 2. Change the Task Force's recommended greater than 60 ft. lot width for requiring a detached <br /> garage to 50 ft. (or another dimension the Commission believes is appropriate). <br /> 3. Use the Task Force's recommended greater than 60 ft. lot width for requiring a detached <br /> garage and add language to encourage detached garages be located at the rear of lots on lots <br /> 60 ft. or less when feasible. <br /> 4. Keep the existing Specific Plan and Guideline language which encourages, but doesn't <br /> require detached garages be located at the rear of lots. <br /> Other Items for Possible Future Consideration <br /> Based on the feedback from the City Council at the June check-in, the Task Force is not <br /> recommending that the Planning Commission or City Council require Design Review for <br /> modifications to the first floor (i.e., 10 ft. or below in height) of single-family homes or establish <br /> a Mills Act Program as part of this package of amendments. However, some Task Force <br /> members felt that expanding design review authority to the first floor of homes in the <br /> Downtown is critical to ensure that changes are consistent with the Downtown Specific Plan and <br /> Downtown Design Guidelines. In addition, some Task Force members believe that the Mills <br /> Act is a useful economic incentive to help property owners preserve historic buildings.
