BACKGROUND The subject property was rezoned to PUD-HDR in 1990 as part of a PUD development plan for 158 dwelling units on a combined project site totaling 12.76 acres. This project was never built and the PUD development plan expired in 1992, but the PUD rezoning did not expire. On November 11, 2015, Saravana Chilla, submitted a Preliminary Review application to demolish the existing home and construct four new single-family homes. Staff provided the applicant with comments discussing concerns related to the project density, architecture, and compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood. Staff suggested the applicant reduce the number of lots and revise the architecture and site layout to be consistent with the goals and policies of the Downtown Specific Plan. On June 8, 2017, the applicant submitted an application for PUD development plan (PUD-127) which reduced the proposal from four single-family homes to three. Staff continued to have concerns with the architecture, site design, and layout and provided comments on July 18, 2017. The applicant did not respond to the comments and the application was subsequently withdrawn in 2018. On October 19, 2018, the applicant submitted a new application for PUD development plan (PUD-133), to demolish the existing home and construct three new single-family homes. This application addressed the majority of staff's comments from the previously withdrawn PUD application, however, a few comments and concerns remain which will be discussed further in the Discussion Topics. The purpose of the work session is for the Planning Commission to review, comment and provide direction on the application. The work session also provides the public with an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed plan. No action on the project will be made at the work session. After the work session, the applicant will have the option to continue to move forward with the current proposal, modify the proposal based on the comments received, or withdraw the application. Should the applicant wish to proceed, the project will require Planning Commission action and a final decision by the City Council. A list of discussion topics and questions are included as Exhibit A to this report.
