BACKGROUND The applicants submitted an application for a planned unit development on January 22, 2007 to create atwo-lot subdivision of an existing property, with an existing single- family home on each parcel. After City Council action, the applicants will follow with an application for a minor subdivision to create two legal parcels. The subject site is developed with a 1,120 square-foot single-family home (403 Saint Mary Street) that, per the County Assessor's data, was constructed in 1915. The home is not listed as a resource of primary or secondary importance with the City. On January 15, 2003, the applicants received approval (PADR-684/PCUP-68/PV-76) to construct a 1,200-square-foot detached second unit in the rear yard area of the subject property. The second unit fronts Peters Avenue (730 Peters Avenue). As a condition of approval, in accordance with the restrictions placed on secondary units at the time, the applicants were required to file deed restrictions requiring one unit to be owner-occupied; that the second unit would not be occupied by more than two adults, and only the number of children permitted by law; and that the second unit should not be sold, subdivided, or held under different legal ownership from the primary residence. In addition, a condition of approval prohibited the second unit to have a second floor. The proposed project was originally scheduled as a consent item to be reviewed by the Planning Commission on March 28, 2007. The day of the meeting, Bonnie and Fred Krichbaum of 303 Neal Street, requested the item be continued until a later date (see Ex- hibit C). The project is now before the Planning Commission to provide the City Council with a recommendation.
