buy in on a 25 -foot wide drive aisle, the applicants were required to reduce the building height to 30 feet or less. He indicated that the Fire Department would not pull their rig into the site but would park on the street, and would, therefore, not require a turn- around. Mr. Knuppe stated that all of the units will be sprinklered too. Mr. Weinstein referred to Commissioner O'Connor's earlier question about open space and replied that this site is being rezoned to Planned Unit Development, so staff can establish whatever regulations they want related to setbacks, open space and so forth. Commissioner O'Connor stated that he understood that the Overlay should be followed for the area. Mr. Weinstein replied that the Central Commercial District, of which this is a part, would normally be required to have 150 square feet per unit of private open space. He indicated that this project has about 160 square feet. With respect to the procedural question brought up by Chair Allen, Ms. Harryman stated that per the Commissioner's Handbook, by 11:00 p.m., the Commission shall determine by vote which agenda items if any it will take up that evening with the intent of completing those items by 11:30 p.m. She indicated that this is the last public hearing item, but there are still some other housekeeping items that follow, and she does not know if there is anything to discuss there. She stated that the Commission should decide if it to try and vote whether it will complete action on the agenda by 11:30 p.m. or continue it to a future meeting. Chair Allen advised that the Commission would continue and address the Discussion Points. A. Is the proposed commercial /office building adequately sized and designed for either a retail or office tenant to allow the Planning Commission to make a finding or consistency with the intent of the Downtown Specific Plan land use designation of "Downtown Commercial ?" B. If so, are residential uses appropriate for development on the remainder of the subject parcel? C. Does the Planning Commission support the proposed building setbacks and building positioning? Commissioner O'Connor stated that he does not know the size of each building that goes down that street, but the ones sitting up front seem to be somewhere between 1,000 and 2,000 square feet, which is the size of this building with two stories. He indicated that he does not have a problem with size with respect to the Mission style; he finds the design beautiful and thinks it fits. He agreed with one of the speakers, however, that this big structure would bury at least two or three of the little bungalows and will be hidden from view when looking from Main Street. He added that the street is so narrow that he would rather see the building sitting back a bit. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, August 26, 2015 Page 34 of 43
