Appeal of Planning Commission Decision Approving a Special Development and Tentative Map for 17 Townhomes at Crescent Avenue
|
Trudi Ryan, Planning Officer, presented the staff report. She stated the project proposes the construction of 17 attached townhouses on a vacant lot. The existing lot is Zoned R-2/PD (Low-Medium Density Residential/Planned Development). The units will be located within five buildings that are two stories in height. Two separate appeals of the Planning Commission decision have been filed with the City regarding this project. Concerns regarding aesthetics, parking, and compatibility are noted in these letters. Additionally, the appellants note the preference for more time to evaluate the project and devise an alternative plan for the site. There is a concern by some nearby residents that the current proposal is not any more acceptable than previous plans. Although, many residents did not review the current proposal until October 6, the new proposal for seventeen attached townhouses was noticed by the City and available for review by the public approximately 3 weeks prior. The same issues were raised and addressed at the Planning Commission hearing.
Mayor Howe opened the Public Hearing at 10:00 p.m.
Joe Rainwater, co-appellant, requested that Sunset Oaks Homeowners Association be first to address the Council.
Rich Robertson, representing the Sunset Oaks Homeowners Association (co-appellant), distributed a signed petition and letter to the Council. He expressed concerns related to the density of the project, the impact on the quality of life and character of the neighborhood, and the effect on real estate values. He further expressed concerns regarding parking and the timing of notifications, and concluded that their association strongly opposes this development.
Joe Rainwater, co-appellant, stated, for the record, that he was advised by staff that if any of the new councilmembers were prior Planning Commissioners, they would have to recuse themselves from this decision. He stated he filed an appeal to represent the homeowners who live directly adjacent to the Cal Water property. He reviewed concerns with the density of the project, the floor area ratio, the character of the development not being consistent with the neighborhood, the impact on the scenic vista, and inadequate parking.
Susan Braken, a member of the public, stated they tried to work with the Classic Communities, but did not feel properly supported. She addressed concerns on the density of the project and the noticing timelines. She stated this is an open field and not a walled area which has more of an impact to existing residents. She advocated for single family homes and stated they want to work on placement of trees and walls and access to their pool.
Joe Rainwater, co-appellant, stated that the proposed development will have a negative impact on their property values and reviewed concerns related to the disruption caused by construction. He asked that construction be limited to the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., that they are provided with written notice of construction taking place on a Saturday, that residents are provided with a single point of contact, and that the developer monitor compliance with conditions. He asked that the Council deny the request for a Special Development Permit and consider other alternatives.
Scott Ward, representing Classic Communities, advocated for the Council to deny the appeal and demonstrate their support for the General Plan and zoning ordinance. He stated the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan for the property, the land use designation and zoning. He stated the owner has not made any representations that the property would remain undeveloped. He stated they made every effort to obtain the neighbors support that included concessions on the number and size of units, added parking, setbacks and open space. He further stated he did not believe this development would reduce property values and the floor area ratio was compliant and not aggressive for the site.
Kenneth Cook, a member of the public, spoke in opposition of the proposed development and asked that the density be reduced. He further expressed concerns related to the loss of property values, the aesthetics and character of the development. He advocated for lower density, architectural compatibility, and a neighbor friendly reorientation of the new homes.
Diana Carbonaro, a member of the public, requested that the Council grant the appeal and deny the Special Development Permit and Tentative Map.
Harriet Rowe, a member of the public, distributed pictures and a diagram to the Council and spoke in opposition of the architectural design, the density and the site layout.
Dave Simons, a member of the public, stated that the single family home proposal was not supported by staff or the neighbors because of the set backs and that some of the architectural concerns could be addressed.
John Simpson, of the California Water Service, stated for the record that they will work with the City and neighbors to landscape their site.
Tom Sweeney, a partner in the development, stated they will be delivering two below market units out of the 17 that are being built and this has impacted the site economics. He stated they have no problem working on the architectural design with the staff.
Carol Molyski, a member of the public, expressed concerns over the density of the project and asked the Council reconsider the number of proposed units.
Gene Gillman, a member of the public, spoke in opposition of the project.
Joe Rainwater, co-appellant, said the project is too dense for the neighborhood it is being built in regardless of the zoning. He stated the total number of bedrooms goes up under the Town Home plan and they did not reject the single family home concept, just the configuration. He further stated they had a lot of dialog with the developer about the single family home plan, but not the town home plan.
Scott Ward, representing Classic Communities, stated he did not feel they were going to get the support of the neighborhood for the single family home plan. He stated they have made many concessions regarding the development and would like to move on.
Mayor Howe closed the Public Hearing at 11:24 p.m.
Councilmember Hamilton moved, and Councilmember Lee seconded, to grant the appeal and send this back to the Planning Commission for another public hearing. The motion failed with Mayor Howe, Vice Mayor Chu and Councilmembers Fowler, Miller and Swegles dissenting.
Councilmember Miller moved, and Councilmember Swegles seconded, to deny the appeal and uphold the Planning Commission decision to adopt the Negative Declaration and approve the Special Development Permit and Tentative Map with modified conditions: direct the developer to reduce the density of the project by removing one unit, to advance notice the work with a single point of contact, and with advanced notification of work on weekends, to change to a southwest architectural design, and work with the homeowners association regarding some of the placements.
Vice Mayor Chu offered a friendly amendment to work with the neighbors on the north side to have more friendly facades. The amendment was accepted.
Mayor Howe offered a friendly amendment to prohibit accessory living units in this project, and add a condition into CCR’s that garages shall be maintained at all times to allow for the parking of one automobile for Untis A, B, C and two automobiles for Unit D. The amendment was accepted.
Councilmember Lee clarified that the applicant is to work with neighbors on design with staff to have final approval.
The motion carried unanimously.
At this juncture, Mayor Howe called a recess at 11:38 p.m. and reconvened at 11:45 p.m.
Mayor Howe moved, and Councilmember Hamilton seconded, to continue items number 5, 6, RA-2, FA-1.A. and FA-2 to a future agenda. The motion carried unanimously.
