FILE #LA20-000049 17 August 2020 Page 6 of 6 Public Comments The neighbors on either side have signed the adjacent property owner acknowledgment form. To date, no public comments have been received. Issues for Consideration 1. Does the Planning Commission find that that the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner which is not permitted by an official control? 2. Does the Planning Commission find that the variance(s), if granted, will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood? 3. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions in order to mitigate the impacts created by the granting of the requested variance(s)? 4. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? Planning Staff Recommendation Recognizing some variances are necessary and appropriate, Staff discussed the proposal with the applicant and recommended a reduction in both structure and hardcover in order to reach a plan including variances which were more reasonable. As of this writing, the applicant and property owners are contemplating some reductions. As currently proposed planning staff recommends denial of the plan. Should the applicant make revisions and provide a plan consistent with the allowed 2,000 square foot building footprint, and in turn a reduced hardcover level, staff finds practical difficulties supporting the remaining variances. The Planning Commission must react to the plan provided. List of Exhibits Exhibit A. Application and Narrative Exhibit B. Practical Difficulties Documentation Form Exhibit C.
