ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES: NOES: ABSTAIN: RECUSED: ABSENT: Commissioners Arkin, Blank, Fox, O'Connor, and Olson. None. None. None. Commissioner Pearce. Resolution No. PC-2006-27 was entered and adopted as motioned. Commissioner Blank moved to find that the proposed PUD development is environmentally superior and is consistent with the General Plan and the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan, to make the PUD findings as listed in the staff report, and to recommend approval to the City Council of Case PUD-S4, subject to the conditions of approval listed on Exhibit B of the staff report, as recommended by staff, with the modifications to the conditions included in the various staff memos to the Commission and the provision that Condition No. 7.d. be reworded to allow some expansion ofthe Designated Development Areas for Lots 1 and 3, subject to the approval of the Planning Director. Commissioner Olson seconded the motion. Commissioner Fox indicated that she liked the development plan but could support the PUD only for two out of the five houses to be two stories. She stated that she could not support having all five houses above the 540-foot elevation to be two stories without first seeing the photo montage and the design gnidelines for the homes. She added that she also had difficulty in making the finding that the PUD is consistent with the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan. Commissioner Blank stated that he was not concerned about whether the houses are one or two stories as long as there are no visual impacts, the neighbors are contented, and there are no environmental impacts. He noted that the designs are coming back to the Commission and that allowing for two-story homes does not mean that the Commission will have to approve the two-story designs if these are found to be inconsistent with the environment or if views impacts are present. Commissioner O'Connor noted that a maximum floor area ratio is aJlowed for each of the homes, and the 20 percent to be included in the second story, which would be only two feet higher, would be deducted from the area of the pad itself, thus holding down the size of the footprint and consequently taking up less of the environment.
