VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. 10. #15-3773 STEVE ELLIOT, 1400 BALDOR PARK ROAD, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND VARIANCE -PUBLIC HEARING -RESOLUTION NO. 6S46 Barnhart stated the property owner is planning to demolish the existing home and construct a new family home on the property. The new home must be constructed to conform to all applicable laws and regulations. In order to conform to the floodplain regulation, the lowest floor of the home must be at or above the regulatory flood protection elevation. The applicant's proposal contemplates cutting and filling within the property in order to elevate the proposed home to meet the floodplain regulations. The City's floodplain regulations require all structures proposed to be elevated on fill material to have the fill material continue for a width of 15 feet around the perimeter of the structure to be elevated. The subject property is 50 feet wide and the proposed home is 30 feet wide. While the 10-foot LR.-1 C district setback can be met, there is not sufficient room on either side of the home to fully comply with the 15- foot perimeter fill requirement. As a result, the applicant is requesting a variance to this code provision. At its August meeting, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and reviewed the application. Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission voted 6 to 0 to approve the conditional use permit with the condition that the applicant submits evidence of MCWD permits prior to placement on the City Council's agenda for review. The applicant has submitted the required permits. Because this application was presented to the Planning Com.mission without the variance request, Staff has published a new notice for a public hearing relating to the variance at the Council's September 28 meeting. Planning Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit and variance allowing for redevelopment of the property. Page 17of27
