Staff believes this criterion is met. <br /> A CUP may be granted subject to such conditions as the Council may prescribe. Additionally, <br /> a CUP shall remain in effect as long as the conditions imposed by the City Council are <br /> observed, but nothing in this section shall prevent the city from enacting or amending official <br /> controls to change the status of conditional uses. <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 variances, if granted, will not alter the <br /> 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 variances? <br /> 4. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? <br /> Planning Staff Recommendation <br /> Planning Staff recommends approval.The applicant has demonstrated practical difficulties to <br /> support the requested lot area, lot width, setback and hardcover variances without generating <br /> neighborhood opposition.The FEMA and City floodplain requirement for a 15-foot elevation <br /> bench around the home should be achieved, as there is adequate space on the property and the <br /> grading plan can be modified to conform. <br /> The proposed landscape plan offers additional infiltration opportunities offsetting the hardcover <br /> and structure placed within the 75-foot setback.They have satisfied the criteria for approval of <br /> both of the requested conditional use permits. A covenant should be signed by the property <br /> owners relating to the plumbing within the detached garage. A haul route will be required with <br /> the building permit. <br /> The Staff analysis has indicated or assumed a number of updates or revisions to the plans as <br /> submitted. The Planning Commission could table action to allow for review, or if comfortable <br /> with the level of detail provided for the current review, could provide a recommendation to the <br /> City Council. <br /> Regardless of Planning Commission action, prior to City Council review the applicant shall <br /> provide updated civil and architectural plans in addition to the required certificate of survey, <br /> and documentation from the MCWD showing approval of the floodplain mitigation plan. <br />
