FILE#LA19-000069 <br /> 16 Sept 2019 <br /> Page 10 of 10 <br /> Public Comments <br /> To date, no public comments have been received. <br /> Issues for Consideration <br /> 1. Does the Planning Commission find that that the property owner proposes to use the <br /> property in a reasonable manner which is not permitted by an official control? <br /> 2. Does the Planning Commission find that the variance(s), if granted, will not alter <br /> the essential character of the neighborhood? <br /> 3. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions in order to mitigate the <br /> impacts created by the granting of the requested variance(s)? <br /> 4. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? <br /> Planning Staff Recommendation <br /> Planning staff recommends denial of the plan as proposed. <br /> Recognizing some variances are necessary and appropriate, Staff met with the property owner <br /> and their team on a number of occasions and recommended a reduction in both structure and <br /> hardcover in order to reach a plan including variances which were more reasonable.The <br /> resulting plan does not follow staff's guidance.The applicant should be directed to submit a <br /> revised plan which reduces structural coverage to a conforming level, and reduces the <br /> superfluous hardcover. Staff does not have a specific hardcover level in mind, however feels <br /> that a level less than 40% may be supportable.The building footprint should be modified to <br /> meet a rear setback of 10-feet. The use of retaining walls should be reevaluated. The existing <br /> fence, and any other encroachments on the HCRAA property should be eliminated. <br /> List of Exhibits <br /> Exhibit A.
