P24-0278, 2207 Martin Ave. Planning Commission 4 of 8 ANALYSIS Consistency with General Plan and Zoning Land Uses: General Plan General Plan policies do not explicitly address sports courts or lighting, but broadly speak to retaining the character of existing neighborhoods and minimizing intrusions: Land Use: Residential Policy 8: Preserve and enhance the character of existing residential neighborhoods. Program 8.1: Enforce the provisions of the City’s Zoning Ordinance and related planning ordinances to maintain the character of existing residential neighborhoods. Program 8.2: Use the City’s development review procedures to minimize intrusions into existing neighborhoods. As conditioned, staff finds the project would meet the intent of the General Plan. Zoning The site is zoned PUD-LDR and subject to the R-1-40,000 District development standards, as well as more site-specific conditions adopted as part of PUD-148. Tennis Court Development Standards The PMC does not address sports courts and associated lighting. However, per PUD-148, the site consists of specific tennis court development standards, which include the following: a. Allow fencing approximately 10-feet maximum in height at the front and rear (narrow) ends of the tennis court. b. Allow fencing approximately eight feet maximum in height on the long sides of the tennis court, extending from the 10-foot-high corner poles to the service lines. c. Vining vegetation will be planted to grow along the tennis court fencing, and tall, five- gallon minimum vegetation, will be placed between the court and property line fencing. d. Applicant and neighbor will share repair costs of an approximately seven-foot-high solid wood fence along the property line between 2207 Martin Avenue and 3520 Dennis Drive. If the neighbors have not shared costs to pay for the repairs within six months of the effective date of this approval, the applicant shall be relieved of this condition. e. Tennis court lighting above eight feet in height shall require Administrative Design Review. Since the approval of PUD-148, the applicant has added vegetation on the side fence line and increased the height of the existing wood fence at the rear (along Dennis Dr.) from approximately six feet to approximately seven feet with an over-height-fence permit by adding a one-foot lattice (Case No. P24-0196). Figure 4 below illustrates the current status of the tennis court fencing and vegetation.
