MAY 2 7 2004 City Of Meridian City Clerk Office l./YLer1GY1Gf11 ~~ ~~~ ~~ STAFF SUMMARY OF PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL Project Name: Case No(s).: Applicant: Rock Creek Subdivision RZ-04- PP-04-045, CUP-04-069 Leavitt & Associates P&Z Commission Hearing Date: Apri129, 2004 Recommendation: Approve with conditions (all ayes) Summary of Public Hearing: • The applicant's representative, Rod Ralphs, testified in favor of the application. He clarified the proposed private open space areas and other structural features. • The applicant's engineer, Nathan Cleaver, testified about the proposed setback reductions and how the patio/balconies are to be constructed, etc. • No members of the public testified on the applications. • Key issues of discussion and questioning by Commission included: • Secondary and emergency access points • Common area open space and amenities • Private open space amount and configuration • Internal traffic flow and the existing traffic in the area Key Commission Additions/Modifications to Staff Recommendation: • None Outstanding Issues for City Council: • As required, a revised legal description that covers only the residential portion of the development was submitted on 5-24-04 (two days late). The Public Works Department is still reviewing the legal for closure. If the City Council closes the Rezone public hearing at the 6-1-04 hearing, the revised legal description, dated 5-21- 04 by Kenneth H. Cook, should bereferenced -not the legal submitted with the application. • Staff believes there may still be some confusion about the minimum reaz setback allowance on the perimeter lots. The Planned Development ordinance does not allow reductions to rear setbacks on the perimeter of a subdivision. The P&Z Commission recommendation as written requires the minimum 15-foot setback. However, during the hearing, the applicant testified they are still seeking a 12-foot reaz setback. It should be clarified at the City Council hearine that the pronosed building design/envelopetyill function with the 15-foot reaz setback because code does not allow this setback to be reduced -even as part of a PD application. Condition #1 under the Police Deparhnent's section required the applicant to meet with the Police Chief and/or Planning Staff to discuss features that increase visibility on the public open space areas. Staff is not aware if a meeting has been held or remains necessary with the Chief since the P&Z Commission required windows to be constructed that view the wmmon lots. However, this should be addressed with the Chief and applicant at the City Council hearine. Condition #3 of the CUP/PD required the applicant to provide two items before the City Council hearing - neither of which has yet been submitted (at least to P&Z Deparhnent's knowledge): 1. a schematic showing how the common/amenity lots will be constructed 2. floor plans of the fourplexes on Lots 8, 20 and 24 showing windows in either the living room or kitchen aeeas within the units The applicant should comply with these conditions and the City Council should discuss these items and ensure all public safety issues are adequately addressed.
