Resolution No. PC-2026-06 Page 4 of 6 Therefore, the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council determine that the Project is not compatible with the previously developed properties in the vicinity, and the City Council cannot make this finding. 4. Grading and site conditions justify the requested modification The Property is generally flat (especially in the location of the proposed accessory structure) with only a minor slope across the lot. The proposed detached accessory structure would not create grading, engineering, or utility constraints that would necessitate a reduction in the required setback. Additionally, the Property is comparable in size, configuration, and orientation to other corner lots within PUD-25 that are subject to the same setback requirement and are expected to comply with the adopted development standards. Because no unique physical constraints exist that would warrant deviation from the PUD standards, the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council determine that this finding cannot be made. 5. Streets, buildings, and other manmade structures are designed and located to complement the established streetscape The 20-foot street-side yard setback requirement was adopted specifically to maintain adequate separation between detached accessory structures and public streets and to allow for landscaping that reinforces a consistent residential edge along Lund Ranch R oad, Spring Creek Terrace, and the EVA corridor. Reducing the setback to eight feet would substantially diminish this buffer and disrupt the visual rhythm of development along the street frontage. The resulting condition would introduce a more prominent structure closer to the public right-of-way, contrary to the established streetscape character intended for the neighborhood. Therefore, the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council determine that the Project is not designed to complement the established streetscape, and that the City Council cannot make this finding. 6. Adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into the plan While the proposed detached accessory structure could be constructed in compliance with applicable building and fire codes, the requested street-side yard setback reduction raises broader considerations regarding proximity to the street, sightlines, and ne ighborhood design objectives that were addressed in the original PUD standards. Because these broader considerations are not adequately addressed through the requested Minor PUD Modification, the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council determine that this finding cannot be made.
