4_ REVISIONS AND OMISSIONS TO THE AGENDA "there ware none_ S_ MATTERS CONTINUED FOR DECISION There were none. 6_ PUBLIC HEARINGS AND OTHER MATTERS a_ PUD-85-O1-4M Heinrich Fischer Application For a major modification to an approved. PUD development plan to allow a retractable canvas awning to the rear fagade of an existing residence located at 1576 Poppybank Court in the Charter Oaks development. Zoning for the property is YUD-MDR (Planned Unit Development -Medium Density Residential) District. Ms. Decker summarized the staff report and described the scope and layout of this application. Staff ordinarily would have processed this application as a minor modification; however, opposition was expressed by neighbors and the Rosc Park Homeowners Association WHOA). The HOA denied two rey uests based on its determination that the cover was installed without the appropriate approvals; the patio cover was an. awning and not allowed per the PL7D guidelines or CCBc.Rs; the cover does not add to the aesthetic value of the community; and the cover was mounted crossing the property line, a condition which has since bean remedied. Staff typically supports the position of HOAs regarding design issues in their particular developments and respects the Rose Park Homeowners Association's position that the awning does not meet its aesthetic standards. Staff found the CCBcRs silent on what constitutes a patio cover. Staff believed that the low height, setbacks, and retractable nature of the cover would mitigate any potential impacts. The Plaiming Department generally considers requests such as the applicant's in a broader context and tries to accommodate these proposals that appear reasonable and that seem to avoid impacts to the neighborhood. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of this item acid Forward it to the City Council, subject to the conditions listed in Exhibit B, with an additional condition, which the applicant has not bean made aware of at the time of the hearing, that the awning be maintained in good repair at all times and. be replaced if torn, faded, or otherwise shows wear. Staff noticed property owners and residents within a 7.,000-foot radius of this site- Comments have been received From both the Rose Park HOA and other concerned neighbors expressing opposition to the proposed project.
