SUBJECT: Planning Commission Agenda for March 22, 2007
Report of the actions of the Planning Commission Meeting:
Item 1: The minutes of March 8, 2007 were approved as corrected. (6 Ayes, 1 Absent).
Item 2: Weekes Residence (PA2006 -219)
709 Kings Road
Request to allow a residence to exceed the height limit by six inches pursuant to
Municipal Code Chapter 20.91.
This item was continued to date uncertain at the request of the applicant. The
applicant's architect is revising the roof configuration for the proposed new dwelling
to comply with the height limit and preclude the need for a variance. A submittal for
plancheck is expected prior to April 1st as the applicant has been advised that a
submittal after that date will require review under the new design guidelines for one
and two - dwelling residences. The sheer bulk of the proposed structure and
excavation of the bluff are potentially inconsistent with the new guidelines. (6 Ayes,
1 Excused)

1370 Bison Avenue
A twelve -month review of the restaurant's approved valet/parking management

plan submitted this week. Commission direction includes on -going staff
monitoring of the effectiveness of the plan and its continued implementation. (5
