Commissioner Ritter inquired if there is any zoning in the City that prohibits second <br />stories from being built. <br />Ms. Wallis replied that there are no straight -zoned properties within the City that prohibit <br />second -story additions, but properties in Planned Unit Developments are individually <br />designed and do have individual development standards. <br />Commissioner Ritter inquired if any application for remodel would typically be submitted <br />to staff, and if it meets the Code and no neighbors object, it would be processed on the <br />staff level. <br />Ms. Wallis replied that was correct. <br />Commissioner Ritter further inquired if it would come before the Commission if the <br />neighbors object. <br />Ms. Wallis said yes. <br />Chair O'Connor stated that he is aware that the City does not typically review <br />Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC &Rs) and noted a comment in the staff <br />report that the CC &Rs for the subdivision included a prohibition on second stories at <br />one point, but that the CC &Rs had expired. He asked staff if they understood that to be <br />the case. <br />Ms. Wallis said yes. <br />Chair O'Connor inquired if staff knew when the CC &Rs expired <br />Ms. Wallis replied that staff does not have the actual CC &Rs and does not know when <br />they expired. She added that staff became aware of the existence of the CC &Rs <br />through a research of past Minutes and previous reports; however, staff did not keep a <br />copy of the document. <br />Chair O'Connor stated that the reason he is asking is because it seemed like he saw <br />some conflicting information about how many homes were actually remodeled with <br />second stories or how many homes with second - stories there are. He pointed out that <br />in one place it said there were two homes, but the map of the area shows six homes. <br />He asked staff for a clarification on how many two -story homes there are in this <br />subdivision. <br />Ms. Wallis stated that the map shows how many two -story homes currently exist in the <br />subdivision. She explained that it is difficult to tell from building permit records exactly <br />how many of these homes were originally constructed as two -story homes versus how <br />many were constructed as single -story homes and then came back for second -story <br />additions. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, August 13, 2014 Page 3 of 32 <br />
