Zoning for the property is PUD (Planned Unit Development) - I1C-O (Industrial/ Commercial-Office) District. (Continued from April 10, 1996) Continued to 5/8/96. f. PUD-96-03. Frank Auf der Maur Application for Planned Unit Development rezoning and development plan approval for a four-lot subdivision, retaining the existing single-family residence and constructing three new units, on an existing property located at 4027 Vineyard Avenue. Zoning for the property is RM-4,OOO (Multiple Family Residential) District. The Planning Commission will also consider the Negative Declaration prepared for this item. Mr. Iserson presented the staff report for an application for a PUD rezoning and development plan approval for a four-lot residential subdivision, retaining the existing single- family residence temporarily and constructing three new units at 4027 Vineyard Avenue. At the time the existing single-family home is vacated, it will be removed and one of the new models will be built in its place. The project would rezone the property from the RM-4,OOO zoning district to a PUD-HDR district. The existing driveway to the existing house will remain. A new driveway will be created to service the three new homes. At the time the fourth model is built, the old existing driveway will be removed. The appropriate condition of approval was distributed to the Commissioners at the meeting. Mr. Iserson described the design of the buildings, as noted in the staff report. Staff's major concerns with this project have to do with providing adequate parking and open space, and ensuring the floor area ratio was not so excessive that the project would be out -of-scale to the rest of Vineyard Avenue. Staff believes that the applicant has satisfied staff's concerns on these matters. The land use is rather mixed surrounding the site. This is a fairly good transition between the high and medium residential densities. The site is located across the street from Kottinger Village Community Park. Parking was discussed; on-street parking is available only on the opposite side of Vineyard Avenue. Staff feels the project provides enough on-site parking and will not create parking issues for the rest of the neighborhood. Staff has received comments from neighbors and also received a letter from a resident on Christina Court communicating their concern for the limited amount of on-street parking available.
