MEMORANDUM 19M 20aS
DATE: May 6, 2009 Director's Report
TO: Planning Commission Meeting Date: May 11, 2009
FROM: Erica Strohmeier, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: FYI — PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW REQUIRED BY A CONDITION OF
APPROVAL FOR A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED DESIGN REVIEW PROJECT
AT 2843 ADELINE DRIVE, ZONED R-1.
Summary: On April 20, 2009, the City Council upheld the Planning Commissions approval of
an application for Design Review, Hillside Area Construction Permit, Height Variance and
Special Permit for an attached garage for a new single family residence to be located at 2843
Adeline Drive, zoned R-1, based on the condition that the following item shall be subject to the
review by the Planning Commission as an FYI (April 20, 2009, City Council Minutes):
4. that the planting plan for the trees to be located along the left side of the structure shall
be presented to the Planning Commission as an FYI, prior to issuance of a Building
Permit.
The applicant has prepared a revised landscape plan pursuant to the condition of approval and
is now ready to submit an application for their Building Permit. Prior to issuance of the Building
Permit, the Planning Commission must review the revised landscape plan as an information
item (see attached revised landscape plan, 11" x 17").
The only changes to the approved project are to the landscape plan. A copy of the revised
landscape plan (date stamped May 5, 2009) is included for your review.
Planning staff would note that because of the Planning Commission direction in the conditions
of approval, this project has been brought back to the Commission as an FYI item and not a
Design Review Amendment. If the Commission feels there is a need for more study, this item
may be placed on an action calendar for a second review and/or public hearing with direction to
the applicant.
