RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended Action
COMMUNITY COUNCIL: Approval
PLANNING COMMISSION: Approval Conditional
PLANNING STAFF: Approval with Conditions
STAFF ANALYSIS: The proposed in- home occupation with customer contact should not have any adverse impact on adjacent and surrounding properties. The exterior of the existing single-family residence is not proposed for alterations, therefore remaining compatible with surrounding dwellings in the area. Given that the existing driveway can accommodate off-street parking for clients, there should be no impact on adjacent properties. The proposed use would not create adverse impacts on adjoining properties by way of noise, smoke, odor, dust or vibration. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the Planning and Sustainability Department that the application be, “Approved, subject to Staff’s recommended conditions”.
PLANNING COMMISSION VOTE: Approval Conditional 8-1-0. / A. Atkins moved, J. West seconded for approval with Staff's conditions, with an amendment to condition #3 to correct a grammatical error; and an added 8th condition to read as follows: "Access to parking shall be accessible only through the driveway directly adjacent to the property where the business will be held, located and accessible at Tolbert Drive.”
COMMUNITY COUNCIL VOTE/RECOMMENDATION: Approval 6-0-0.
