M3-295I I80M849 West Farm Road <br />November 20,2003 <br />Page 2 <br />Planning Commission was open to the conversion of the Guest House CUP to a “Plumbing <br />In An Accessory Building CUP" which would require the removal of kitchen facilities from <br />the guest house. Planning Commission discussed the fact that the guest house did not meet <br />location standards for the Plumbing CUP, but concluded that the fact that the building has <br />been in this location for many decades, is far from any neighboring residence and has no <br />negative visual impacts, it is a historic structure, parts of which date to the 1870's, are factors <br />that limit any negative impacts of such a CUP. <br />Planning Commission indicated the City Attorney should advise staff as to whether the CUP <br />conversion can be part of this process (and if so Plamiing Commission recommends <br />approval), or whether such a proposal must be a separate application and re\ iew/Tiearing <br />process. <br />3.Approval of the necessary easement vacations in exchange for dedication of new easements <br />along the new lot line. <br />4.Removal of the driveway connection between the two lots should be required and can occur <br />in 2004. <br />Staff Recommendation <br />Staff concurs with the Planning Commission recommendation. If Council concurs, resolutions <br />conditionally approving the lot line rearrangement and the easement vacation/rededication will be <br />prepared for Council adoption on December 8. <br />The City Attorney has advised staff that the conversion of the Guest House CUP to a Plumbing in <br />Accessory Structure CUP will require a separate application and hearing process. He also suggested <br />that the subdivision approval not become effective until the CUP process has been successfully <br />completed and its resulting conditions met. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Motion to conceptually approve the lot line rearrangement and easement vacation/rededication per <br />the Planning Commission recommendation, and direct staff to draft appropriate conditional <br />resolutions for adoption on December 8, and direct the applicant to make an application for a <br />Plumbing in Accessory Structure CUP (deadline is December 17 for the January Planning <br />Commission meeting).
