lack of existing development standards for the subject parcel, including for both accessory structures and sports courts, in response, staff directed the applicant/property owners to speak with the adjacent neighbors regarding their proposal to identify any potential concerns with their proposal, specifically if any structures (such as fencing and lighting) exceeding approximately 10 feet in height would be objectionable in the proposed sports court location. The applicant/property owners were also informed any structures associated with the proposed sports court above approximately 10 feet in height would require Planning approval and building permits. In December 2022, the City's Code Enforcement staff received a complaint regarding posts that had been erected around the sports court without permits or approvals. Upon their inspection several posts approximately 10 feet in height had been erected around the perimeter of the existing sports court. Code Enforcement staff contacted and directed the applicant/property owners to stop all work and contact the Planning Division for direction. The Planning Division determined the appropriate course of action would be to require the applicant/property owners to apply for a PUD development plan that would establish development standards for the subject parcel and allow staff to provide specific guidance for any future development on the subject parcel, including determining conformance with the proposed development standards with regard to the existing sports court. SITE AND AREA DESCRIPTION The subject property is a flat, approximately 1.67-acre site located between Martin Avenue and Dennis Drive and is developed with an approximately 4,173-square-foot two-story, single-family residence with an attached garage built in 1977 (see Figure 1). There are several mature trees clustered in the center of the lot with established landscaping surrounding the existing residence. Single-family residences are located north, south, and west and Alameda Flood Control property is located east, across Martin Avenue, of the subject site (see Figures 2 and 3). Existing houses in the area are both one- and two-story and sited appropriately with their respective lot size. On adjacent parcels, the nearest structures are setback approximately 5 feet from the property line (property to the north and south). Additionally, the general area is zoned Planned Unit Development-Low Density Residential (see Figure 6). PUD-148, 2207 Martin Ave. Planning Commission 3of14
