PC Min 08/12/1986PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF CAMPBELL, CALIFORNIA 7:30 PM MINUTES AUGUST 12, 1986 The Planning Commission of the City of Campbell convened this day in regular session at the regular meeting place, the Council Chambers of City Hall, 70 N. First St., Campbell, California. ROLL CALL Present Commissioners: Dickson, Olszewski, Christ, Perrine, Stanton, Fairbanks, ' Kasolas; Planning Director A. A. Kee, Planner II Marty C. Woodworth, Engineering Manager Bill Helms, Acting City Attorney Bill Seligmann, Recording Secretary Linda Dennis. Absent None. APPROVAL OF MINUTES M/S: Christ, Olszewski - That the minutes of the 'Planning Commission meeting of July 22, 1986 be approved as submitted. Motion carried with a vote of 6-0-0-1, with Commissioner Fairbanks abstaining because of absence from the meeting. COMMUNICATIONS Mr. Kee noted that communications received pertained to specific items on the agenda and would be discussed at that time. ARCHITECTURAL APPROVALS S 86-06 Continued application of Mr. W. L. Chalmers, W. L. Chalmers for approval of plans and elevations to allow the construction of 4 industrial buildings on property known as 700 McGlincey Lane in an M-1-S (Light Industrial) Zoning District. Commissioner Perrine reported that this application was considered by the Site and Architectural Review Committee. The Committee is recommending approval, noting that the 5 foot landscaping area along the southern property line has been retained and found satisfactory by the Landscape Advisor. -2- Mr. Kee stated that Staff is also recommending approval, as indicated in the Staff Report. Lengthy discussion ensued regarding the amount of provided landscaping on _ this site, and landscaping which may be xequired on the surrounding properties; and the allowable and acceptable percentages of landscaping. Commissioner Dickson expressed his concern with the landscaping on the adjacent property to the northeast - he felt there should be a condition requiring landscaping on this property line if the adjacent property is not developed. Mr. Kee explained that when and if the adjacent property is developed, landscaping would be required at that time. This parcel under discussion is separate from the property being considered under this application. Mr. Gary Coates, representing the applicant, indicated that there is 8$ landscaping on the project site, and the applicant has agreed to provide whatever landscaping necessary to tie this project in with the adjacent properties. Mr. Coates indicated that he was of the opinion that the applicant has addressed the concerns expressed by the Commission at its previous meeting. The parcel which is adjacent. to the subject property is the applicant's home and he is not considering developing the parcel in the near future. Chairman Kasolas commented that the provision of additional landscaping would require a reduction in the building's size. i Commissioner Dickson asked that a condition be added requiring the - landscape plan to come back to the Commission within one year; and, if this parcel is not developed within that year, that it be required to come back again. Chairman Kasolas stated that he did not see how a future approval could be made on a separate parcel; again, he felt the situation boiled down to reducing the size of the building, or approving it as is. Chairman Kasolas asked if this application could use the adjacent parcel to assist in the application process. Mr. Seligmann responded that this would not be possible without the concurrence of the adjacent property's owner. The applicant may wish to go ahead and enter into an agreement between the two parcels to allow for a landscape easement; however, the City is not in a position to force that easement as a condition of approval. Commissioner Dickson stated that he would propose a condition which would require, prior to issuance of a building permit, the provision of a 10 foot landscaping strip between the subject property and the adjacent parcel to the north. Mr. Seliqmann noted that this requirement could have some real enforcement prooblems in that a condition is being forced that is outside of the application site under proposal. -3- M/S: Olszewski, Christ - Discussion on motion M/ Dickson, Vote on Motion for Approval That the Planning Commission adopt the attached findings and approve S 86-06, subject to conditions indicated in the Staff Report dated August 12, 1986. - That the motion for approval be amended to include a Condition #32 - Applicant to provide evidence that a 10 foot landscaping easement is provided between the subject property and the residential property to the north.

Mr. Kee reported that the applicant is in agreement with Staff's recommendation for denial without prejudice. Mr. Kee continued that there is a forthcoming policy indicating that industrial uses may not appropriate along Railway Ave. Chairman Kasolas asked for clarification on the recently adopted Interim Zone. Mr. Seligmann indicated that the Interim Zone, as adopted by the City Council, provides that applications filed prior to its adoption are exempt from the Interim Zone. Technically, this application could still go forward. Chairman Kasolas opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item.

The Committee is recommending a continuance in order that the applicant might address the parking situation. Mr. Kee noted that Staff is in agreement with this recommendation.

M/S: Fairbanks, Christ - That the public hearing on UP 86-09 be continued to the Planning Commission meeting of August 26, 1986. Motion carried unanimously (7-0-0). * • EIR 86-O1 Continued public hearing to consider the Sahadi, F. Environmental Impact Report which has been prepared for the application for expansion of the Campbell Inn, on property known as 675 E. Campbell Ave. Mr. Kee reported that Staff has received a letter from the applicant's representative, Mr. Earl Hagadorn, requesting a continuance. Chairman Kasolas opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. M/S: Perrine, Stanton - That the public hearing on EIR 86-01 be continued to the Planning Commission meeting of October 14, 1986. Motion carried unanimously (7-0-0). -7- PD 85-12 Continued public hearing to consider the Sahadi, F. application of Mr. Fred Sahadi for approval of a Planned Development Permit and approval of plans, elevations and development schedule to allow the expansion of an existing motel accomodating 73 additional units, breakfast room, conference rooms and related service facility on property known as 675 E. Campbell Avenue in a PD (Planned Development/Commercial and Public, Semi-Public) Zoning District. Mr. Kee reported that Staff has received a letter .from the applicant's representative, Mr. Earl Hagadorn, requesting a continuance. Chairman Kasolas opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. M/S: Olszewski, Christ - That the public hearing on PD 85-12 be continued to the Planning Commission meeting of October 14, 1986. Motion carried unanimously (7-0-0). PD 86-07 Public hearing to consider the Anderson, K. application of Mr. Kurt Anderson for approval of a Planned Development Permit, plans, elevations, and development schedule to allow an addition to an industrial building on property known as 190 Dillon Ave. in a PD (Planned Development/Industrial) Zoning District. Commissioner Perrine reported that this application was considered by the Site and Architectural Review Committee, and a continuance is recommended. Mr. Kee noted that Staff is in agreement with the recommendation for a continuance. Discussion ensued regarding the aesthetics of the proposed retaining wall; possible intrusions on the creek; and, whether the plans were referred to the Los Gatos Creek Committee. Chairman Kasolas opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. Mr. Kurt Anderson, applicant, stated that the proposed project does not intrude onto the creek; however, the owner has no problem with the project being referred to the Los Gatos Creek Committee as long as it doesn't add hardship by extending the time frame. -8- M/S: Olszewski, Fairbanks - That the public hearing on PD 86-07 be continued to the Planning Commission meeting of September 23, 1986, and that the project be referred to the Los Gatos -- Creek Committee for comment. Motion carried unanimously (7-0-0). UP 86-10 Public hearing to consider the applica- Filice, A, tion of Mr. Al Filice, on behalf of Medivac, Inc., to establish a paramedic station with a living unit and a paramedic van in an existing building on property known as 145 Dillon Ave. in a PD (Planned Development/Industrial) Zoning District. Commissioner Perrine reported that this application was considered by the Site and Architectural Review Committee. The Committee is recommending approval with a one-year review. Commissioner Fairbanks asked if Staff was aware of the Fire Department's adversity to this use during its existence. Mr. Kee indicated that Staff is in the process of resolving a number of issues on this particular site. The requested use is certainly something which can be done within the Industrial Zoning District. Planning Staff has not been aware of whatever difficulties may have existed with the Fire Department. Commissioner Stanton stated that it is his understanding that the Fire Department has no problem with the functioning of this service. The concern results from the duality of emergency vehicles using the same streets at the same time; however, this is a problem that will have to be lived with in order to have the back-up service. Mr. Helms noted that Staff concurs that the streets in this area are less than desireable, and standard improvements will be provided as soon as it is feasible to do so. Public Works has not received any comments from citizens, Police or Fire that this operation has created any problems. It is the opinion of the Public Works Staff that this type of facility can function at this location without causing any undue hazards. Commissioner Olszewski noted that the applicant indicated that this location was chosen because of its central location. Chairman Kasolas opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. -9- M/S: Perrine, Christ - That the public hearing on UP 86-10 be closed. Motion carried unanimously (7-0-0) . Commissioner Fairbanks stated that although she appreciated the service provided by this use, she did not appreciate the fact that the use was installed without a permit. She suggested that the issue be continued in order that additional information could be provided from the Fire Department as to their particular experience or conflicts with this particular place. Commissioner Fairbanks noted that she is inclined to lean towards the Fire Department's recommendation, based on their expertise in this area. M/S: Fairbanks, Dickson - That the public hearing on UP 86-10 be reopened for the purpose of additional discussion from the Fire Department. Motion carried with a vote of 5-2-0, with Commissioners Perrine and Olszewski voting "no". Commissioner Dickson commented that he felt that any caution expressed by the Police or Fire Department should be taken very seriously. He felt that there were some issues of traffic flow and some safety questions that needed addressing. Chairman Kasolas indicated that varying reports from Staff would indicate the appropriateness of a continuance. He expressed concern that there are two emergency locations on the same side of the railroad tracks. Commissioner Olszewski stated that the Fire Department's memo indicates the back-up service is used approximately 15 times a month -- that's 15 arms, legs, lives! Regarding traffic, Commissioner Olszewski expressed his satisfaction with Mr. Helm's opinion. There is no difference between an ambulance having a traffic conflict with of the Medivac unit than there is with a civilian vehicle. He spoke in favor of moving the item along favorably. M/S: Fairbanks, Dickson - That the public hearing on UP 86-10 be continued to the Planning Commission meeting of August 26, 1986 for additional information from the Fire Department. Motion carried unanimously (7-0-0). The Commission recessed at 8:55 p.m.; the meeting reconvened at 9:10 p.m. -10- UP 86-11 Public hearing to consider the applica- _~, Sando, M. tion of Mr. Michael Sando for approval of a conditional use permit to allow the construction of a residential addition to an existing apartment on property known as 2055 S. Winchester Blvd. in a C-3-S (Central Business District ) Zoning District. Mr. Kee reported that the applicant has requested a continuance to the next meeting in order that he may present additional information. Staff is in agreement with this request. Chairman Kasolas opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. M/S: Stanton, Olszewski - That the public hearing on UP 86-11 be continued to the Planning Commission meeting of August 26, 1986 at the applicant's request. Motion carried unanimously (7-0-0). UP 86-12 Public hearing to consider the applica- Hendsch, P. tion of Ms. Patricia Hendsch for a use permit and approval of plans to allow the construction of an additional living unit on property known as 946 Emory Ave. in an R-1-16 (Single Family Residential, 16,000 sq.ft. minimum lot size) Zoning District. Commissioner Perrine reported that this application was considered by the Site and Architectural Review Committee. The Committee is recommending approval. Mr. Kee indicated that Staff is also recommending approval. Chairman Kasolas opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. M/S: Fairbanks, Stanton - That the public hearing on UP 86-12 be closed. Motion carried unanimously (7-0-0). -11- M/S: Fairbanks, Dickson - That the Planning Commission adopt the attached findings and adopt a Resolution approving UP 86-12, subject to conditions as indicated in the Staff Report dated August 26, 1986. Motion carried with the following roll call vote: AYES: Commissioners: Dickson, Olszewski, Christ, Perrine, Stanton, Fairbanks, Kasolas NOES: Commissioners: None ABSENT: Commissioners: None. V 86-02 Public hearing to consider the applica- Jacques, J. tion of Mr. James Jacques for approval of a variance to allow the construction of a 2-story addition to an existing single family home which has a substandard front yard setback of 6' on property known as 149 N. Second St. in an R-1-6 (Single Family/Low Density Residential) Zoning District. Mr. Kee reported that the applicant is requesting approval of a variance to Section 21.60.030 of the Zoning Ordinance which requires that a non-conforming building must be brought into compliance with area regulations of the Zoning Ordinance, if an individual wishes to construct an addition or enlargement to an existing non-conforming building. Staff is of the opinion that the applicant is proposing to add to the existing residence in a conforming manner and that the requirement to bring the existing structure into conformance with the present setback requirements would create a hardship not created by the applicant. Consequently, Staff is recommending approval of the applicant's request. Commissioner Dickson asked when the 6'' setback occurred; and, if approval of this request would set any precedent. Mr. Kee responded that the 6' setback may go back to when the street was installed; and, a precedent would not be set in that the Planning Commission has approved this type of thing previously. Mr. Kee stressed the fact that the proposed addition would meet all the setback requirements. Commissioner Christ asked if approval of the request would constitute approval of the non-conforming use on the site. Mr. Seligmann stated that approval would be addressing the proposed addition only. -12- Chairman Kasolas noted that usually parking must be brought into conformance when someone adds to an existing building. How can the Commission support this request when~it doesn't appear to conform to our ordinances and past policies. Mr. Kee responded that the use is existing at this time. Additional parking is being applied for; and, the nonconforming use will continue whether or not the expansion is approved. Commissioner Olszewski noted that Condition #2 addresses the parking issue. Chairman Kasolas opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the .~: audience to speak for or against this item. Mr. Jacques, applicant, stated that he is only requesting a variance for the frontyard setback, otherwise the house would have to be moved. This would create a hardship. Plans for the property include demolition of the storage area and the provision of a two-car garage. M/S: Perrine, Olszewski - That the public hearing on V 86-02 be closed. Motion carried unanimously (7-0-0). M/S: Christ, Perrine - That the Planning Commission adopt the attached findings and adopt a Resolution approving V 86-02 subject to conditions indicated in the Staff Report dated August 26, 1986. Motion carried with the following roll call vote: AYES: Commissioners: Dickson, Stanton, NOES: Commissioners: None ABSENT: Commissioners: None. Olszewski, Christ, Perrine, Fairbanks, Kasolas * * w ZC 86-08 Public hearing to consider the applica- Naderzad, Q, tion of Que Naderzad and Steve Saray for a zone change from R-M-S (Multiple Family Residential) to PD (Planned Development/Low-Medium Density Residential); and approval of a Planned Development Permit, plans, elevations, and development schedule to allow the construction of 14 townhomes on property known as 104 & 120 Redding Rd. Commissioner Perrine reported that this application was considered by the Site and Architectural Review Committee. The Committee is recommending approval, subject to redlined plans coming back to the Committee. The only concern expressed was with the setbacks, and there is adequate space available on-site to comply with slight parking revisions. -13- Mr. Kee added that Staff is recommending that the parking revisions, with no change in the location of the spaces, come back to Staff and the Architectural Advisor. Commissioner Christ expressed concern. about the handicapped parking spaces being placed in usable locations. Commissioner Dickson expressed a concern with the available common open space. Additionally, he felt that the Commission should be seeing all the facts since this is a PD application. He recommended that the item be continued. Chairman Kasolas opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. Mr. Dennis-Ajax, representing St. James Townhomes Homeowner's Association, expressed concerns with the retaining wall of the neighboring project, drainage, access for fencing repair, and lack of privacy from second stories. Mr. Kurt Anderson, 135D Redding Rd., expressed concern with the project's layout, noting that every other project on the street has a greater than 15' front setback;. the setback between the rear yards and the guest parking should be greater; and, there should be no parking backing out onto Redding Rd. He suggested a stop sign be put on Hoffman Lane to slow traffic through the area. Mr. Que Naderzad, applicant, responded that the setbacks are really 25' to ----- the building line; drainage will be installed in the back of each unit and will drain away from adjacent units; and, if necessary, new fencing could be installed if the adjacent neighbors would like to work out an agreement. Chairman Kasolas asked the applicant if a continuance would create a problem. Mr. Naderzad responded that a continuance would not be desireable in that the changes requested are very minor, and could be demonstrated to the Commission this evening. Another continuance would be impractical. Mr. Ajax stated that a driveway along his fence line would be preferable to someone else's backyard. Responding to a question from Commissioner Fairbanks regarding drainage, Mr. Helms noted that a drainage plan is normally presented for Staff's approval during the building permit process; .and, the plan is considered in relation to adjacent parcels. Mr. Bill Brown, 104 Redding Rd., stated that he is surrounded by two-story structures. His property is one of the last to be developed. M/S: Dickson, Christ - That the public hearing on ZC 86-08 be continued to the Planning Commission meeting of August 26, 1986 for revised plans. -14- Discussion on motion Commissioner Olszewski stated that he would be speaking against the motion, in that the accessibility to repair fencing seems a weak excuse. The issue of setbacks was solved at the Site Committee meeting, and there is a 25' setback. The only issue left is that of bedrooms facing each other, and that problem may no longer exist because of the changes made at the Site Committee meeting. Commissioner Fairbanks stated that she is speaking for a continuance, in that she would like to see the density addressed. She did not feel that the PD Zoning was bringing a higher and better use in this case. She would also like to see the issues of backing out onto Redding Rd., and common open space availability/accessibility addressed. Commissioner Christ concurred with Commissioner Fairbanks, however, he felt that in a trade-off situation between common open space and private open space - private open space was more important. He expressed his concern with the unit that backs onto Redding, in that he does not like to look at the backs of buildings when driving down the street. Commissioner Dickson stated his concern that the redlined plans were not presented, noting that all the facts should be presented before a decision is made on a PD ordinance. Chairman Kasolas stated that he has difficulty with vehicles backing onto Redding Rd. and the lack of common open space. i Vote on motion Motion for continuance carried with a vote of 6-1-0, with Commissioner Olszewski voting "no". MISCELLANEOUS MM 86-07 Continued application of Mr. Larry Von Von Klein, L. Klein for a modification to an existing use permit to allow an auto related use on property known as 2885 S. Winchester Blvd. in a C-2-S (General Commercial) Zoning District. Mr. Alexander Henson., representing applicant and Stevens Creek Auto, tenant for the site, presented pictures of the site, stating that he believes the appearance of the site maintains the integrity of the appearance of retail to the street as originally approved. He also presented a diagram of the proposed parking layout, noting that the parking ratio is actually improved with the proposed change, going from -- retail to industrial. Mr. Henson concluded that the applicant is only asking for the line dividing retail from industrial use to be moved 13 feet. - -15- Commissioner Fairbanks noted that it is her understanding that the applicant will be using the building for a particular exotic car service; i therefore, she is in favor of granting the applicant's request. This is .- not a case of expanding the building, but rather an expansion of a use within an existing building - and tthat he is not opposed to the actual interior use of the building, but rather opposed to the fact that another roll-up door bay is being installed - and the roll-up door will be left should the use vacate. He asked how the roll-up door could be removed if the use ceases. Mr. Henson noted that another roll-up door is not being put in -- it's already existing. There will be no changes to the building. Mr. Henson added that he would not have a problem with another continuance, if necessary. He suggested a condition might be added which would address Commissioner Christ's concern. M/S: Olszewski, Fairbanks - That the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve a three-year conditional use permit under stipulations indicated in MM 86-07. Motion carried unanimously (7-0-0). Commissioner Dickson noted that he has not heard a clear policy on curtailing auto-related uses in the City. He felt that this is a case where the use permit has done its job; however, this was a case that caused the applicant much more deliberation than necessary. The Commission recessed at 10:50 p.m.; the meeting reconvened at 11:10 p.m. SA 86-31 Continued sign application of Bank of Bank of America America - 125 E. Campbell Ave. - PD (Planned Development/Commercial) Zoning District. M/S: Perrine, Olszewski - That the Planning Commission approve the proposed "Versateller" sign on the north elevation of the bank building. Discussion on motion Commissioner Dickson felt that the sign should be incorporated into the existing signing program, since the signing on-site already exceeds the ordinance. Commissioner ~s~se~s#~ noted that the Versateller is actually a separate, Per correc but related, business at that location. However, he agreed that the other at mtg. of signage on the site is excessive. 8-26-86 -16- Chairman Kasolas spoke against the motion based on his comments from previous meetings. He felt that the existing signage could be revised to accommodate the versateller usage. He concluded that he would be voting against the motion on the basis that approval would be inconsistent with the way previous applicants have been treated. Vote on motion AYES: Commissioners: Olszewski, Christ, Perrine NOES: Commissioners: Dickson, Stanton, Fairbanks, Kasolas ABSENT: Commissioners: None. Chairman Kasolas explained the appeal process to the applicant. SA 86-35 Sign application of Mr. Ed Arioto for Arioto, E. property known as 441 N. Central Ave. #2 in a C-1-S (Neighborhood Commercial) Zoning District. Commissioner Perrine reported that this application was considered by the Site and Architectural Review Committee. A continuance, with the applicant's concurrence, is being recommended in order that the applicant might work on a unified sign program. Commissioner Dickson noted that the existing sign was constructed without a permit, and further continuances would be looked at unfavorably. M/S: Stanton, Fairbanks - That SA 86-35 be continued to the Planning Commission meeting of September 23, 1986. Motion carried unanimously (7-0-0). SA 86-37 Sign application of Martha's Vineyard Martha's Vineyard for property known as 1875 S. Bascom Ave. (The Pruneyard) in a C-2-S (General Commercial) Zoning District. Commissioner Perrine reported that this application was considered by the Site and Architectural Review Committee. The Committee is recommending approval, with the existing signs to remain, and one sign to be placed on the bell tower. commissioner Dickson noted that he is opposed to approving signage which does not conform to the sign ordinance. Commissioner Olszewski stated that he felt this particular business has somewhat of a hardship because of its location. -17- M/S: Stanton, Perrine - That the Planning Commission adopt the attached findings and approve one additional sign, with existing signage to remain, for the east elevation. Motion carried with a vote of 5-2-0, with Commissioners Dickson and Christ voting "no". MM 86-18 Application of Mr. Harry Yee for a Yee, H. minor modification to the sideyard setback requirement to allow a second story addition with a 6 foot setback on property known as 817 Connie Dr. in an R-1 (Single Family Residential) Zoning District. Commissioner Perrine reported that this application was considered by the Site and Architectural Review Committee, and approval is recommended. M/S: Dickson, Fairbanks - That the Planning Commission adopt the attached findings and approve MM 86-18 subject to conditions indicated in the Staff Report dated August 26, 1986. Motion carried unanimously (7-0-0). Referral Referral from City Council on the Anderson, K. application of Mr. Kurt Anderson for ZC 86-01 a zone change from R-M-S (Multiple Family Residential) to PD (Planned Development) and approval of a Planned Development Permit, plans, elevations, and development schedule to allow the construction of 4 townhomes on property known as 235 N. Third St. Mr. Kee reported that Staff is of the opinion that the applicant has addressed the concerns previously expressed regarding private yards, adequate parking facilities, and building design. Although the project exceeds the number of units permitted under the current R-M-S zoning, Staff is of the opinion that the applicant has met, or exceeded, all the other development standards of the R-M-S Zoning District. Consequently, Staff is supporting approval of this project which results in a project density which is consistent with the General Plan density shown for this area. Mr. Kurt Anderson, applicant, explained the. project design, noting the breakfast nooks on the first. floor are within the setback area; however, the second story is recessed. Public Works Staff has indicated that the proposed backing out onto Latimer Ave, will not present a problem. -18- Discussion ensued regarding density of surrounding area; setbacks; difference between project and development across the street; landscaping areas; and driveways. M/S: Olszewski, Perrine - That the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council accept the Negative Delcaration which has been prepared for this project; and that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council adopt the attached findings and adopt a Resolution recommending approval of a zone change from R-M-S (Multiple Family Residential) to PD {Planned Development); and that the Planning Commission adopt a Resolution recommending that the City Council approve the plans, elevations, and development schedule for this project, subject to the attached conditions. Discussion on motion Commissioner Dickson stated that inconsistenc with h he is opposing the motion because of the y t e PD Zoning and surrounding density, although this appears to be a well designed project. Commissioner Christ stated that he is also opposing the motion, in that he did not feel that the project was more desireable than would be permitted under the R-M-S Zoning. Chairman Kasolas opposed the motion based on consistency with previous actions. He expressed his concern with vehicles backing out into the street; and, did not feel this was the best possible development for the community. Vote on motion AYES: Commissioners: Olszewski, Perrine, Fairbanks NOES: Commissioners: Dickson, Christ, Stanton, Kasolas ABSENT:. Commissioners: None. M/S: Olszewski, Perrine - That this item be forwarded to the City Council along with testimony from this meeting. Discussion on motion Commissioner Christ opposed the motion, in that he felt it was the responsibility of the Planning Commission to make a recommmendation to the Council. -19- At this time, Commissioners Perrine and Olszewski withdrew their motion. M/S: Dickson, Christ - That the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council consider this item and look at a reduction in the density, making it compatible with the R-M-S Zoning. Discussion on motion Commissioner Olszewski noted .that this project was in the Downtown Area, and a reasonable amount of density is needed for the vitality of the area. He spoke against the motion, noting that the proposed density is less than the density of the development across the street. Commissioner Christ indicated that reduced density could result in a clearing up of other problems with the project, ie. backing out into Latimer Ave.. Commissioner Fairbanks stated her agreement with Commissioner Dickson. However, she noted that she is speaking against the motion because she felt this project demonstrated a good use of the PD Zoning. Vote on motion AYES: Commissioners: Dickson, Christ, Stanton NOES: Commissioners: Olszewski, Perrine, Fairbanks, Kasolas ABSENT: Commissioners: None. At this time, Mr. Anderson requested a continuance to the meeting of August 26, 1986.
