RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended Action
COMMUNITY COUNCIL: FULL CYCLE DEFERRAL.
PLANNING COMMISSION: APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS.
PLANNING STAFF: APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS.
PLANNING STAFF ANALYSIS: The proposal is consistent with the following policy of the 2035 Comprehensive Plan: “Protect stable neighborhoods from incompatible development that could alter established single-family residential development patterns and density.” (Suburban Policy #1) As a single-family house with a size and scale that is similar to other homes in the neighborhood to the east, the proposed home is suitable in view of the character and use of adjacent and nearby properties. Half of the property will be kept wooded, thereby conserving natural resources. Therefore, the Department of Planning and Sustainability recommends “Approval” with a condition.
PLANNING COMMISSION VOTE: Approval with Conditions, 6-0-0. J. Johnson moved, L. Osler seconded for approval with Staff's conditions.
COMMUNITY COUNCIL VOTE/RECOMMENDATION: Full cycle deferral, 6-0-0. Community Council recommended deferral for a full cycle. CC members are concerned that private owner will not preserve trees and will not abide by conditions. CC members want to consider other re-zoning options for site and want the two Jan Hill Lane sites to remain on same cycle.
