Zoning for the property Is PUD-LDR (Planned Unit Development – Low Density Residential) District. Jenny Soo presented the staff report and described the background, scope, and layout of this application. In response to an inquiry by Chairperson Fox regarding past approvals, Ms. Soo confirmed that the Planning Commission approved the PUD application of Centex Homes for production homes. The tentative map has also been approved, but the final map has not been brought before City Council. Chairperson Fox noted that in looking at the tentative map approval, it appeared to have been denied by the Planning Commission. Ms. Soo confirmed that the tentative map for PUD-05 was denied by the Planning Commission, and subsequently approved by the City Council. Chairperson Fox noted that the minutes from the workshop of February 28, 2001 and the minutes of the April 11, 2001 meeting discussed Commissioner Arkin’s statement that he did not want that many houses on the site. Then Chairperson Sullivan stated his belief that there were too many houses for the project, which did not appear to him to meet the intent of the General Plan or the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan with respect to grading and visibility of houses. She noted that house lots appear to be less than 20,000 square feet and inquired whether the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan required that lots at that location be at least 20,000 square feet. Ms. Decker reiterated that this project went through the normal process and that the PUD and the tract map were approved by City Council, albeit the Planning Commission did not support the tract map itself. She noted that Berlogar has filed a final map on his portion, based on the PUD modification that was approved last year. With respect to Chairperson Fox’s question regarding house size, Ms. Decker stated that there was no PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES July 11, 2007 Page 5 of 27
