MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION 6/13/84 Page 6 Tract 5134, Del Prado Homes Application of Del Prado Homes to subdivide an existing 94 unit multi-family residential rental complex into a condominium project at the southwest corner of Hopyard Road and Golden Roads. Zoning for the property is RM-1500 (Multi-family Residential) District. Mr. Harris presented the staff report recommending approval. Chairman Doherty stepped down and abstained inasmuch as he owns prperty in the immediate area. The public hearing was opened. Robert Mitchell, Esq., 100 Pine Street, San Francisco, represented Del Prado Homes. He indicated that while he is not an engineer, the conditions appear to be acceptable to he and his client. He had discussed the conditions over the telephone with the City's Engineering Department. He understands that the conditions are standard except for the last one which is not. They are still negotiating minor details with Zone 7. They had 90% of the tenants supporting their application when the project started. He indicated he would be happy to answer any questions. Commissioner Lindsey asked why the Planning Commisison is being required to approve this map before the license agreement is accomplished between Zone 7 and the applicant. Mr. Harris explained that the City is third party to the agreement and has to sign it. Commissioner Lindsey asked if there is any reason why the Planning Commission and City Council shouldn't be aware of the contents of the agreement before passing on this issue. Mr. Harris explained that it only refers to the parking. Commissioner Wilson asked if the homeowners association will maintain the parking area. Mr. Mitchell said they would. Commissioner Innes indicated that with regard to the license agreement between Zone 7 and the City, he had had a conversation with Mun Mar of Zone 7 who indicated that there are still many items to be hammered out and he indicated they would definitely not grant an easement. He asked if a permanent agreement carried the same weight as an easement. He was left with the impression that Zone 7 could revoke a permit at any time. Mr. Swift responded to this matter stating that the condominium conversion requires permanent parking. He indicated that they could have a license agreement without term and this would be every bit as valid as an easement unless revoked by one or the other parties. Mr. Mitchell explained that if an easement were granted, it would require public auction and offerings. A permit would not have an auction requirement. They can grant a license almost administratively. The public hearing was closed. A motion was made by Commissioner Getty, seconded by Commissioner Wilson that Tract 5134 be approved per the staff report. -6-
