IV. PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS
ITEM NO. 2 611 Jasmine, LLC Residential Condominiums Tentative Parcel Map No. NP2019-015 (PA2019-254)
Site Location: 611 Jasmine Avenue Council District 6
Joselyn Perez, Planning Technician, provided a brief presentation describing the project. She stated that the project site was historically used in conjunction with the adjacent lot at 609 Jasmine Avenue. While 609 Jasmine
Avenue was improved with a single family residence, the project site was improved with only an accessory structure and landscaping. The lots however were never merged and the existing site improvements have since
been demolished. The project site is zoned R-2 and the proposed duplex has been designed and found consistent with all development standards in the zoning code including height, setbacks, parking, and floor
area.
Ms. Perez stated that staff is recommending approval of the project and then clarified that staff has a correction to handwritten page 11 of the staff report. The resolution currently reads, “prior to recordation of the parcel map, a park fee shall be assessed for two additional dwelling units” and the resolution should read “an in-lieu park dedication fee shall be assessed for two additional dwelling units.”
Zoning Administrator Campbell asked staff if the new duplex is being built to condominium standards,
specifically concerning separate utilities. Ms. Perez answered that the units will have separate utilities.
The Zoning Administrator opened the public hearing.
Applicant Matthew Watson, on behalf of the Owner, stated that he had reviewed the draft resolution and agrees with all of the required conditions.
Seeing that no one from the public wished to comment, the public hearing was closed. Action: Approved with the modified condition.
