7.2.B. - Page 14 <br /> It is true that a future lot owner could apply to amend the PD to allow for larger home <br /> sizes than what the Planning Commission approved. The determination of additional <br /> environmental review would depend on the specific application. However, that possible <br /> future action does not constitute a basis for rejecting the Planning Commission's <br /> actions. Any future such amendment inconsistent with the Planning Commission's <br /> actions would require review and approval by the Commission at a noticed public <br /> hearing, and would be subject to appeal to the City Council. <br /> For all of the foregoing reasons, staff recommends rejecting SLW's appeal. <br /> Applicant's Appeal <br /> The applicant's appeal only challenges Condition No. 19 of the Planning Commission's <br /> action. This condition restricts the house sizes to smaller than what the applicant <br /> proposed (Attachment 5). In 2007, the Planned Development permit requested home <br /> sizes ranging from 3,240 to 5,120 buildable square feet, with an average of 3,965 <br /> square feet. With the submittal of the 2011 application, the applicant proposed home <br /> sizes ranging from 3,300 to 4,500 buildable square feet, with an average of 3,809 <br /> square feet. City staff originally drafted Condition No. 19 to reflect the applicant's <br /> proposal. However, in acting upon the project, the Planning Commission amended <br /> Condition No. 19, adopting a formula, reflected in Alternative B of the RFEIR, to <br /> calculate the allowable home size based on the current lot size and average slope (with <br /> the minimum livable space of 2,000 square feet). Table 1, as referenced below, <br /> provides the potential home sizes based on the approved formula. As a result, based <br /> on current property data this reduced the allowable home sizes. Property owners were <br /> guaranteed a home size of at least 2,000 square feet of livable space, which when <br /> incorporating a standard garage is approximately 2,400 square feet. The resulting range <br /> of home sizes per Condition No. 19 is 2,000 to 3,432 square feet with an average of <br /> 2,638 square feet. <br /> Page 4 of 12 <br />
