ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES: Commissioners Blank, Narum, Olson, and Pearce. NOES: Commissioners Fox. ABSTAIN: None. RECUSED: None. ABSENT: None. Resolution No. PC-2007-20 recommending approval of Case PUD-61 was entered and adopted as motioned. b. PUD-93-02-09M/PCUP-182, Barnabas Nagy Applications for: (1) a major modification to the Ruby Hill PUD development plan to: (a) relocate the existing sales office building on Ruby Hill Boulevard northwesterly along Vineyard Avenue; (b) change the existing office use to restaurant use; (c) revise the configuration of the existing parking lot; (d) establish a new driveway off of Vineyard Avenue; and (e) establish a pad location and design guidelines for a future single-family residence; and (2) a conditional use permit to allow alcoholic beverage service after 10:00 p.m. The property is located at 2001 Ruby Hill Boulevard and is zoned PUD/OS/A/LDR (Planned Unit Development/Open Space/ Agriculture/Low Density Residential) District. Also consider a Negative Declaration for the project. Ms. Soo presented the staff report and summarized the background, scope, and layout of the proposed project. She noted that following many neighborhood meetings to address concerns regarding noise, traffic, and proximity to residences, the applicant indicated he was willing to make the project work and decided to push the building farther out towards Vineyard Avenue, thereby providing a 1,000-foot buffer between the project and the closest residence. She noted that a condition had been added requiring the restaurant to be placed closest to Vineyard Avenue and that the surroundings must be maintained in an attractive way; enforcement actions would be taken if that condition were to be disregarded. Ms. Soo described the Tuscan-style home which would be built in the future. She noted that the applicant proposed to use the development standards for R-1-6,500. Staff recommended to R-1-20,000 standard instead because the building pad is approximately 18,000 square feet, which was closer to the R-1-20,000 standard. Staff believed it provided much wider setbacks, and the floor area ratio (FAR) would be lower at 30 percent rather than 40 percent, while allowing a sufficient home size. In response to Commissioner Blank’s inquiry regarding whether there was a stand-alone bar in the restaurant, Ms. Soo replied there was only a cocktail lounge. Commissioner Blank requested that a condition be included requiring a full menu to be available when alcoholic beverages were to be served. Ms. Soo noted that condition could be added.
