The amendment will modify the restriction on additions to residences in the project. Cm. Johnson asked for staff report. Ms. Ram stated that Kristi Bascom would present the staff report. Ms. Bascom stated that the project was originally approved in 1996 and consists of 277 units, a combination of single family and multi family units. The Conditional Use Permit presented is for an amendment to the Planned Development previously approved. Condition No. 2 of the original Planned Development approval stated that no additions could be made to any of the residences in the development. A property owner approached the City with an application to amend the Planned Development of the Zoning Ordinance in order to make additions to single-family homes in the development. After reviewing the application, Staff determined that additions could be made to single-family homes in this project with some limitations. Staff also concluded that allowing minor additions to the single-family homes in this area would not change the original Planned Development or the intent of the approval. The limitations would relate to setback requirements, consistency with development standards, limiting the additions to the first floor of the property. Ms. Bascom further stated that this amendment would impact about 30 units of the 150 single-family units. The minor additions could be made by the units that have larger than average lot size. Therefore Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the attached resolution approving the Conditional Use Permit to amend Condition No. 2 of Resolution 55-96. Cm. Johnson asked the Commissioners if they had any questions for Staff. Cm. Jennings asked if notices would be sent to the entire tract informing the property owners about the amendment and its impact on the 30 units or if Staff was planning on noticing the 30 single- family units that would be impacted by this amendment. Ms. Bascom stated that the entire tract was notified about the proposed changes and therefore Staff would not be notifying the 30 single-family units. Staff assumes that the property owners would contact the City if they have any questions about the amendment. Cm. Fasulkey asked if there would be a visual impact due to the minor additions. ~fanning Commission ~gufar ~7ffeetin~ 102 CFe6ruary 26, 2002 Ms. Bascom explained through a plot plan the location of the units that can accommodate such minor additions without causing visual impact.

Therefore the Applicant has requested to place an employee only parking at the adjacent vacant property to the north. Dublin Zoning Ordinance for vehicle storage requires a Conditional Use Permit to be approved by the Planning Commission. The Applicant has indicated that the duration of the parking to be no more than one year and it would be limited to employee parking only. The conditions of approvals recommended by Staff states that inventory parking would not be allowed. Additionally, the Conditional Use Permit would terminate either at one year or at the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy for Volkswagen. Furthermore, the Public Works department requires a barricade in the form of a gate for the location to prohibit general public access.

Cm. Johnson asked for staff report. Ms. Ram stated that Kristi Bascom would present the staff report. Ms. Kristi Bascom, Associate Planner, presented the staff report. Ms. Bascom gave a brief background on all five neighborhoods of the Dublin Ranch Area A. She explained that prior to commencing construction, the Developer is required to record and finalize the Master Tract Map 7135 for the entire area. The Developer has requested that several of the conditions of approval in the Master Tract Map pertaining to the infrastructure improvements should also be included in the individual Tentative Tract Maps. Therefore, Staff has incorporated the infrastructure improvement conditions to the five neighborhoods and is requesting the Commission to approve the resolutions with the revisions. She explained that the Conditions of Approval attached with the staff report include the original conditions of approval approved previously by the Commission along with the revisions. Conditions that have been added are shown with underlined text and conditions that have been edited or deleted are shown in strikeout text. Staff believes that adding some of the conditions from the master tract map to the individual tract maps will provide the infrastructure for the individual neighborhoods to be developed in a logical manner.
