Commissioner O'Conner: <br />^ Would it be possible to move the stairs to get 2 parking spaces? <br />^ Provide tandem for some, maybe 2, but not all of them. Possibly vary the garage sizes: <br />alternate from 1-car to 2-car etc. <br />^ Variation in sizes and style would enhance the project's appearance. <br />^ A bonus room above the detached garage may be more acceptable than a second dwelling <br />unit since the parking is tight <br />^ Likes the idea ofsingle-family verses duplex <br />The Commission was also open to making the garage a carport and moving it to the side of the <br />existing house to allow for more open space and/or parking. The Commissioner's also agreed <br />that a bonus room may be more acceptable than a second dwelling unit since there is concern <br />with the amount of parking being provided. Please see Exhibit D for the Planning Commission <br />workshop minutes. <br />With the information that was provided to staff and the applicant through the work session, the <br />applicant made a few adjustments to the development concept and submitted revised plans for <br />consideration. The development plan and the rezoning from the RM-2,500 to PUD zoning <br />district are now before the Commission for review and recommendation to the City Council. <br />SITE DESCRIPTION <br />The subject site is an approximately 13,161 square-foot (.30 acre) relatively flat infill lot located <br />in the Downtown Specific Plan area with Vineyard Avenue to the north and Kottinger Drive to <br />the south.
