CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 82-9
CORKRAN W. NICHOLSON
ASSISTANT PLANNER
FROM:
CASE NO.
PREPARED BY:
There was a mutual agreement between Mr. Cheng, who spoke
on behalf of the applicant, and the Commission to continue
the public hearing on C.U.P. 82-9 from the previous meeting
of June 22, 1982, to tonight's meeting in order that the
applicant may reconsider the proposed design and composition
of the glazed areas along the easterly and southerly sides
of the proposed office building and to provide the opportunity
for more commissioners to be present since three (3) members
were absent.
.
The Commission was concerned about the proposed glazed areas due
to the present moratorium that directly relates to the proposal.
On July 7, 1982, Mr. Cheng met with staff and conveyed the
applicant's desire to proceed with the proposal as submitted
to the Commission on June 22, 1982 (see the attached supplemental
staff report).
No alterations to the glazed areas are proposed because it ii
Mr. Cheng's opinion that the proposed building setbacks are
excessive; approximately 156'-0" from the adjacent residential
property to the south of the site and a minimum of 75'-0" from
the existing pre-school that occupies the adjacent residential
property to the east of the site which would mitigate the
possible impact of the building invading the privacy or view
of said adjacent properties.
Staff concurs with Mr. Cheng's opinion and recommends approval
of C.U.P. 82-9 subject to the conditions as set forth in the
attached staff's reports.
Attached for your consideration are the following items:
.
1. Ordinance No. 1747 which imposes the present moratorium
which prohibits proposed windows of commercial structures
to face abutting R-1 property and sets forth the required
finding which must be made by the Commission in order to
grant the applicant's request.
