.~ b. PUD-85-15-7M. Golden Eal!:le Farm/Currin Application for a PUD major modification to allow a caretaker's residence to be established at the Bernal Adobe in conjunction with a special events/conference center. The site is located at 1780 Foothill Road. Zoning for the property is PUD (Planned Unit Development) - LDR (Low Density Residential) District. c. UP-96-08, Bernal Adobe SDecial Events Center Application for a conditional use permit to allow the establishment of a special events/conference center within the Bernal Adobe located at 1780 Foothill Road. Zoning for the property is PUD (Planned Unit Development) - LDR (Low Density Residential) District. Items 6b and 6c were discussed together. Mr. Iserson presented the applications for a PUD development plan modification to allow a caretaker residence to be established within an existing building and for a conditional use permit to allow the establishment of a special events/conference center within an existing building located at 1780 Foothill Road (the Bernal Adobe). Under the original Golden Eagle Farm PUD, it was thought that the adobe would function as a clubhouse for the development. This later proved to be impractical. Subsequently, the Currins requested and were approved a modification to the PUD which designated the Bernal Adobe as a special events/conference use for that PUD, subject to obtaining the necessary use permit. The proposal is for a caretaker to live in the facility and would be a part of the special events center application. The caretaker would serve as a 24-hour security personnel and handle issues/complaints during operation of the events center. The second floor would be the living quarters of the caretaker. Residential use is not allowed under the cUtrent PUD. Currently, the adobe has been used as a residential living unit; the applicant advised that it was necessary to provide security and caretaking purposes. Staff advised that a PUD modification would be necessary to provide for the residential use. Staff feels that if properly conditioned and used only in conjunction with the special events conditions (if it is approved as well), it would be appropriate to have a live-in caretaker at the Bernal Adobe. This person would be responsible for monitoring activities of the center and provide security for the area. No families with children would be able to reside at the adobe. With the conditions set forth, staff could support the PUD modification for the caretaker's residence for the special events center. Regarding the approval of the event center within the existing building at 1780 Foothill Road, the applicant requested approval to operate seven days per week, from 8 am to 11 pm (including two hours for set-up and take-down), with an occupancy of 190 guests. A 59 space parking lot was proposed, as well as landscaping, fencing, and a soundwall to the south next to another resident. There would be an unimproved 13 space overflow parking lot to the north. There are two driveways from Foothill Road. A deceleration lane would be provided by the applicant for the southern driveway as well as a left-turn pocket on northbound Foothill Road. After being continued in March, 1997, a revised plan has been submitted. The service area behind the adobe has been eliminated to mitigate impacts to residents in the area.
