Since original submittal of an application for this project in January 2016, staff has worked closely with the applicant to revise the project to conform to the Downtown Specific Plan and Downtown Design Guidelines. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION On July 13, 2016, the Planning Commission, by a 3-1 vote, recommended approval of the application based on the findings included in the Planning Commission staff report (Attachment 4) and subject to the conditions shown in Exhibit A (Attachment 1). The Planning Commission recommended that the conditions be revised to: (1) remove the words "unless otherwise approved by the City Engineer" from Condition No. 83 (pertaining to the provision of a water meter on each lot); (2) add a condition to substitute the metal siding accents with siding of a different material at the discretion of the Director of Community Development; (3) add a condition to relocate the curb cut on Augustine Street to accommodate one additional on-site parking space while preserving the two on-site heritage- sized trees; and (4) add a condition to change the bathroom of the mixed-use space in Residence 1 to remove the proposed bathtub and install a two-piece or shower configuration (to discourage the office/retail space from being used as a living space). The Planning Commission also strongly recommended the applicant install story poles prior to the City Council hearing.
