BACKGROUND:
At its meeting on March 10, 2020, the Planning Commission voted 7:0 to defer action on
ZMA201800018 and SP201800023. The applications were deferred to May 19, 2020. A
summary of the main concerns heard from the Planning Commission is included in Attachment
E.
At its meeting on May 19, 2020, the Planning Commission voted 5:1 to recommend approval of
ZM201800018 with the finding that the use of a central system to provide connection to the
nearby public sewer system is in substantial accord with the Comprehensive Plan. The Planning
Commission also voted 5:1 to recommend approval of SP201800023 with conditions as stated
in the staff report.
The Planning Commission's staff report, action letter, and minutes (from both meetings) are
attached (Attachments A, B, C, and D).
DISCUSSION:
At its meeting on May 19, 2020, the Planning Commission voted 5:1 to recommend approval of
ZMA201800018 and to recommend approval of SP201800023 with conditions as stated in the
staff report. The Planning Commission did not request any changes.
It should be noted that there was significant discussion during the public hearing regarding the
proposed density and the request for additional units above the recommended density in the
Comprehensive Plan. This discussion may not have been reflected in the Planning
Commission's motion. Staffs analysis of the requested density is included in Attachments A
(staff report) and A9 (accessory units and previous applications). Please note the additional
discussion on density in the Planning Commission minutes (Attachment C).
Since the May 19, 2020 Planning Commission public hearing, no changes have been made to
the application. Several non -substantive changes were made to the SP201800023 conditions,
and Condition #6 has been removed due to new guidance from the Department of
Environmental Quality. The attached Resolution to approve SP201800023 (Attachment H)
includes these revised conditions.
Attachment F is the current application for ZMA201800018, and Attachment A5 is the current
application for SP201800023.
The Applicant has also requested approval of a central sewerage system, which is subject to
the Board's approval, and is being presented to the Board as a separate agenda item on August
5 for the Board's consideration.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends that the Board adopt the attached Ordinance to approve ZMA201800018
(Attachment G) and the attached Resolution to approve SP201800023 (Attachment H).
