PUBLIC HEARING: Consider introduction of an ordinance approving the application of Saravana Chilla for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) development plan to demolish an existing home and construct three detached single-family homes and related improvements located at 3987 Stanley Boulevard, and approval of a growth management agreement, as filed under Case PUD-133 Planning Manager Ellen Clark presented a brief overview of the PUD and a timeline of the application. She noted the Planning Commission recommended modification of the paint color and additional landscape screening. The project was approved with the modified condition to require larger initial planting size. Tte project is located within the Downtown Specific Plan area and the site contains an existing single-family home which is included as part of the City's historic resources survey. The home was determined not to be a historic resource. Ms. Clark reported that the site plan is to develop three new single-family homes. She noted the proposed density is 9 units per acre and is within the allowable General Plan density. She outlined the Development Standards and presented a Development Standards Comparison chart; reported that the project is well within the range of density and similar density of projects around it and has comparable lot and unit sizes. She presented renderings of the project, provided an overview of landscaping for the project and noted the large oak tree in the rear of the property will be preserved. At the Planning Commission hearing key issues and concerns were privacy, density, and neighborhood character. She advised the Planning Commission recommended an additional condition for larger initial planting sizes for screening vegetation and said the PUD conforms to the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance and its use would be compatible with the other residential development and development standards in the vicinity. Additionally, she noted the proposed density, development standards, architecture, site design, lot configuration, and landscaping are consistent with the Zoning, Downtown Specific Plan, and General Plan goals and policies. Lastly, she noted the increase of two residential units are within the available Growth Management Allocation. Ms. Clark reported staff recommends that City Council introduce the ordinance approving PUD-133 and adopt a resolution approving a Growth Management Allocation, subject to the draft finding and condition of approval. In response to Councilmember Brown's inquiry, Ms. Clark advised that window placements were addressed during the Planning Commission hearing and both the Planning Commission and staff felt the windows were located appropriately. In response to Councilmember Narum's inquiry, Ms. Clark advised that rehabbing the existing property was not included in the PUD. City Attorney Daniel Sodergren clarified the property did not meet the criteria to be listed on the historic property list. City Council Minutes Page 5 of 7 October 1, 2019
