Item 5a Staff Report h~IIIY' 1 PLANNING COMMISSION n April 9, 1980 SUBJECT: PUD-79-14 _ APPLICANT: Amador Valley Investors PURPOSE: Application to rezone from the R-1-6500 District to the PUD District and development plan approval for a 34 lot single family residential subdivision proposed to be built on the 8.7 acre site located on the south side of Fairlands Drive opposite its intersection with Brockton Drive. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Negative Declaration 2.. Development Plan George Oakes (Amador Valley Investors) submitted a development plan for a 41 lot single family residential subdivision located on the south side of Fairlands Drive opposite its intersection with Brockton Drive to your Commission for consideration at your meeting of 2/13/80. The plan indicated a minimum lot size of 6,000 sq. ft.; rear yards as shallow as 10 ft. and as little as 17 ft. between two-story structures. At the time, your Commission commented that you felt that the lots should be somewhat larger and the distance between two-story structures increased. The matter was continued to allow Mr. Oakes to make revisions. He has revised the plan and is now submitting a 34 lot subdivision. In the current proposal the smallest lot is 7,500 sq. ft. and distance between two- story structures, in most cases, is considerably more that 17 ft. If there are any cases where the distance is less than 17 ft., there is sufficient room on the sites to increase this dimension. Except in two cases where they are 18 ft., the rear yards are at least 20 ft. in depth. On October 10, 1979, your Commission considered another 41-lot subdivision on the subject property and recommended denial to the City Council since you were considering rezoning much of the vacant land in the area to either 'R-1-8500 or R-1-10,000. The City Council (on October 23, 1979). upheld your decision on the subject property but declined to rezone the area for larger lot subdivisions. In denying the matter they did it without prejudice so that Mr. Oakes could resubmit the same or a similar project within the normally required 1 year waiting period. Mr. Oakes is now submitting the second plan 'since that denial. The subject property is an 8.7 acne parcel, which was originally created as a school site. The School District has now decided that they do not need another school in this area and Mr. Oakes would like to use the property as ,the site for single family residences. However, the property has only one sewer connection listed on the 1972 Settlement Agreement and the remaining 33 could take many years to become available.
