SUBJECT: Planning Commission Agenda for January 20, 2005
Report of the actions of the Planning Commission Regular Meeting:
Item 1: The minutes of January 6, 2005 were approved (all Ayes).
Item 2: St. Andrews Presbyterian Church (PA2002 -265)
This item wss the consideration of the final resolutions of approval reflecting
the Planning Commission recommendations to the City Council on the St.
Andrews Church project. The resolutions were brought back to the Planning
Commission to insure that the staff accurately stated the intent of the
Commission's action on the project. After review, the Planning Commission
gave the staff additional direction on the resolutions and conditions of
approval, which will be brought back to the Commission for final action. This
item was continued to February 20, 2005. (All Ayes)
Item 3: Ellis Residence (PA2004 -265)
308 Evening Canyon Road
This item was the appeal of the decision of the Modification Committee
approving a 2 foot encroachment into a 6 foot side yard setback, where the
applicant requested a 4 foot encroachment, to allow a stairwell access for
the basement of a new house. The Commission expressed concern that the
requested encroachment facilitated the new home to be larger than without
the requested encroachment. They also discussed options which could be
studied to provide the desired access without the side yard encroachment.
Upon giving the appellant the indication of little support for the appeal, the
item was continued to February 20, 2005. (5 Ayes, 1 No)
