I am zoning administrator and I am calling to order the. This is the January 7th meeting of the zoning administrator. This is a virtual meeting in response to the COVID. 19 epidemic or pandemic. And it's been. Noticed and, and, uh, and, and run. And, uh, Consistent with the requirements under the Brown act as they've been modified during by the state during this pandemic period. We all are participating, um, In this way to help to avoid the spread to do so. Uh, there are a couple of things I want to remind everyone about the conduct of the meeting. Uh, as we go through this meeting, as we would any public hearing, we will recognize speakers. But in this, uh, zoom and telephone environment for those of you who are calling in, we ask that you raise your hand if you're on zoom or if you're on the telephone call. If you're on the telephone call. If you're on the telephone call. Press star nine. And you will be recognized by the hearing secretary. This meeting, um, we'll have. Has two agenda items, uh, in each case, we will have the project planner give their report and recommendation, the applicant. Or their team will be, uh, Give an opportunity to comment if they so wish. And then members of the public who are participating will be recognized. Uh, again, by, uh, if you raise your hand in zoom, or if you press star nine, uh, before we go on to our items on the agenda, we do offer an opportunity for the public to comment. If anyone in the attendance wishes to do so, please raise your hand and we will recognize you. You have. You'll have three minutes to comment on any matter that's not on the agenda. Um, I am looking at our participant list. I don't see. Anyone raising their hand, wishing to be recognized for public comment. So I will now move to item three on our agenda. Uh, which is our scheduled item. And the first one is 3.1, a minor design hillside review for 37, 58 Hadley Hill drive and the project planner is, uh, Ms. C. Collie, Mr. Collie, are you ready to present your report? Or I am. And good morning, Mr. Zoning administrator. I'm going to share my screen with you. Just a second. Can you confirm that you can see my screen? Yes. Great. Thank you. So as you mentioned, the project before you this morning is a minor hillside permit for a new swimming pool and associated retaining walls. This site will be located. The site is located at 37 58 Hadley Hill drive. The proposal is for a new swimming pool with big and retaining walls that will be constructed on an area with slopes greater than 10%. And this project is located in a phantom grow area. It was previously damaged by the fire in 2017 and it's going to be rebuilt. And the pool will be a new part of the project. It is going to be placed in the back of the property. And as you can see here, there's a big open space in the rear side of that property along phantom grow and the property is on PD 93 004 B. And it's also within RC zoning industry. The general plan land use is very low density residential. The site plan showing the existing house and the red square is location for the new proposed swimming pool. The slope in the back goes downhill. So it's not uphill. It goes down and it's going to be behind that open space. It's going to be mostly located in area between 10% to 20% slow. It will be screened from the phantom grow area because of those trees along phantom grow and the open space. And there will be some retaining walls on the site where the house is located. And there won't be portions that will be on the slope greater than 25%. So it will be mainly between 10% to 20% based on the slope contours the applicant has provided. And these are two pictures from phantom grow showing location of the proposed pool. As you can see, it will not be visible because the house, the back here on the house is downhill and it's screened by the open space along phantom grow. I have received one call from a neighbor in favor of the project and supporting it at asking the city to approve this pool. Notice has been out and that was the only comment I received from a neighbor in favor of the project and the proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with California Environmental Quality Act. And it qualifies for a class tree exemption in that the project consists of construction of an accessory structures. With that, the planning and economic development department recommends that the zoning administrator by resolution approve a minor hillside development permit for the property located at 3758 Haley Hill Drive. And below is my information. Anyone who has questions or want to contact me, they can do it. And that was my presentation. Thank you. Thank you, Manai. Now is an opportunity for the applicant to add comments or more information. If you so wish, please raise your hand or press star nine. I see Mr. Gonzalo wishing to comment. Yes, good morning. I'm here also with my wife Carla. And we just had a few comments about it. Yes, so we're just want to make sure that we want to point out that there is a proposed pool close to our home that it's going to be pretty much the same with the same views as ours. We also plan to make sure to maintain a natural look around the pool area. And what did you guys just point out that the pool will not be visible to any neighbors. And it backs to an open space as well. Thank you. And is there anyone else who wishes to comment at this point? Do you have any comments? No, that's okay. Well, thank you. Now I will provide give opportunity for the public anyone in attendance who wishes to comment, please raise your hand and you'll be recognized by the hearing secretary. I see that we have one member. Please state your name and remember to unmute yourself. Good morning. Good morning. So, um, yeah, quick question. Moving forward. So, um, can you, uh, you don't disclose the, the, the neighbor that was in favor of the pool? I'm sorry. Can you. Are you allowed to disclose the neighbor that was in favor of the pool? Oh, uh, certainly. Um, Her name was the end. Her name was the end. And I can look at her last name. She was not on the streets. She was across the fountain grow Parkway. Okay. No, no, no, uh, there was, there wasn't any, any neighbors, uh, opposing the, the pool. No, she was in favor of it. She was in favor. Okay. Great. Uh, so do you anticipate, uh, Um, Uh, Would you like to get this permit approved after the week? When you guys can clear your findings, your. Uh, yeah. So that I, um, I will ask that you speak with, um, Miss. Collie after words that you can talk to about the process. Um, you, I imagine you're asking for about the building permit. Um, she'll be able to inform you about that. Um, who, who might be interested in the project to comment. Um, I thank you for your, for your questions. Um, Is there anyone else in attendance who wishes to comment on this matter? If so, please raise your hand or press star nine. Seeing none. I'll close the public hearing part of this. Hearing item. And, um, And so, um, The side of this, uh, added pool and deck. Um, I think that clearly is not going to impact any public view. Um, it is consistent with our hillside development permit. I reviewed the resolution prayer pair by miss C. Collie and she made the appropriate findings and, uh, for that, um, Approval and also, um, The, the sequel findings that are needed for a project of this type. Um, so with that, uh, I think that the updated hillside development permit should anybody in attendance or any other person, uh, wish to appeal this matter. Uh, the appeal period for this action ends on January 18th. And, uh, please contact miss C. Collie. If you intend to do so. She'll tell you about the process for filing an appeal. Uh, so that concludes our first item on the agenda. The second item, item 3.2, is design review for 450 South East Street and Miss Susie Murray is the project planner. Susie, can you give us your presentation? Are you ready to go Susie? Okay. Let's wait a moment. Susie's headset is acting up and she'll return shortly. Susie will join us by telephone. So one minute please and we'll resume the meeting shortly. Thank you. Thank you, Susie. You could do this by charades if you wish. Hang on a sec, Susie. I'm going to rename you so that your number won't show up on screen. Okay, you should be good. Hold on. Please press star 9, I think. Woohoo! Hello everybody. I'm on. I am so sorry about that. I think my relatively new headset has gone completely because it did this for me yesterday as well. So I'm attempting to share my screen. Let me see. Looks good. You could put it into presentation mode. Got it. There. Can you see it now? Perfect. Go for it. Okay. Okay. So thanks everybody for hanging on line. The project before you, Mr. Zoning Administrator is the East Street project. It's a design review for a three unit multifamily housing project over 450 South East Street. The design review includes demolishing the existing structure, redevelopment with a three unit multifamily structure, and the use itself is permitted by right. The image on the left is what's there now, and the image on the right is what's proposed. The site here's an aerial view of the neighborhood really. And just to give some context, I'm up in the left hand corner zooming in a little bit more on the way the site is currently constructed. There are commercial uses immediately adjacent to it to the north and south, and then residential uses surrounding it on the other side. The general plan land use designation for the site is medium density residential shown in the graphic up in the upper left hand corner. That kind of pumpkin color, the orange color is medium density residential. And then that's the yellow off to the right side of that graphic indicates that it's low density residential. So it would be adjacent to properties designated for single family residential development. The zoning district is R 318, which is multifamily residential, and that is consistent with the general plan land use designation. Here is a picture of the site plan that's being proposed. One of the requirements and with this zoning and general plan land use designation is that the units all be attached. The two units on the right side are attached at the garages. The units, the second and third units here on the left are attached actually by a metal trellis, which is a practice that's been accepted in the department. So here's a little flavor of the landscaping. And I know that the landscaping consultant is available for questions, but this is, there's very not a lot of landscaping area on the site, but where there is landscaping. This is what these are the types of plants that you'll see the project has also been conditioned to to comply with the water efficient landscape ordinance and I and those plants do that. Here's a kind of a taste of what's being proposed for exterior materials. With the, you know, the fence materials and garage doors and and the socket siding and what have you. There's some more graphics coming up that will demonstrate those a little bit better. So there, there are six required findings for design review those findings were made on the draft resolution. The project qualifies for a, for a number of categorical exemptions for the to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act. It involves the construction of three dwelling units that's consistent with the general plan and it qualifies also is infill development. And there, there are no unresolved issues as a result of staff's review. There was one requested design change and that that is a window be added to that, that large two story area there has a staircase actually on the other side. And added as a condition of approval, the applicant agrees that I have not received any public comments, phone calls written or email. So if that is recommended by the planning and economic development that the zoning administrator approved resolution granting design review to allow the East Street project a proposal to construct a three unit multifamily structure at 450 South East Street. My contact information is located down in the lower left hand corner. For those people that may be calling in about this, you can reach me at 543-4348. And my email address is SMURAY at SRCITY.org. That concludes my presentation. And as I said, the landscape architect, but also I want to say the architect and the development team are available for questions. And I don't know how to mute myself on my phone. Yeah, just hang online there and we will, we will get back to, should there be questions I thank you very much for your presentation very complete thorough. I have no questions for you at this time. And now is opportunity for the applicant or the applicant's team to comment if you wish to do so please raise your hand or press star nine. I just recognize Robin Stessani. Hi, can you hear me okay. Yes. Okay, great. Thank you and thanks Susie I think you covered the project well so we'll just hold off on a presentation. We do have the entire team here to answer any questions and we can pull that presentation up if need be to illustrate a particular area or concern. So thank you. Yes, I have a question for you. Regarding the addition of the window on that front elevation. Have you already prepared a design concept or can you describe how you're going to approach that change. Sure. I have prepared a design concept just to make sure that it would work from a feasibility perspective and essentially the stair is from the driveway side of the face. And the stair is standing there underneath the big window on the north driveway side clean of the building, and the stairs step up from there and so what we intend to do is add a window midway up the set of stairs, and the set of stairs ends on the front face that is where the current window is located is at the top of the landing of the stairs so I hadn't I haven't shared it with Susie. My understanding was that we'd be able to handle that after this meeting and, but we have verified that it's doable feasible and it will go sort of midway kind of between the corner of the building and the window that you see there on the front facade. Thank you for that. I think that will be an improvement to that front elevation. So is at this point if there's no other comments that wish to be added by the project team I do see another. Just standing down the list here. I invite the public who might be in attendance who wish to comment to, to raise your hand or press star nine if you wish to do so now please. Please raise your hand or press star nine. I see none. So up. Mr McGuire, Kevin McGuire, can you recognize Mr McGuire please. Go ahead. Please remember to unmute yourself. There we go. Sorry about that. There we go. Thank you. I'm right next door actually right now I really like the design I think it's well suited for the neighborhood however the additional window I can tell you from having an office on southeast street when the emergency vehicles roll through that pretty good speeds and sirens blaring it can be pretty noisy so an additional windows going to bring that noise right into your front unit there so that's my only comment. Thank you. Does anybody else in attendance wish to comment at this point, seeing none I'll close the public comment period of this portion of this meeting. All right, so this is, this is a great I, it's not quite infill development is it's a type of intensification of, of a use residential in this case, as allowed by the zoning and general plan. And because it's housing it's really excellent and encouraging to see a project like this come forward to produce more units that we so desperately needed our community. I did read the resolution prepared by this Murray and and she does make the findings to support the design review approval here. It is superior design I think especially the sensitive treatment of materials and masking on this site. It's not a monolithic structure which it could easily be given the small size of the property. So I think it'll, it'll do quite well and especially with the addition of a window in that stairwell area I think it'll be that front elevation will become less monolithic. The, the comment regarding noise to the interior that may occur with an addition of a window and that elevation is, is legitimate but I would note that it's very likely that the window that's installed there will be a dual pane insulated window which will help to reduce the noise impacts to the interior and that interior space is not a bedroom or living space. It's really access from the ground floor up so the impact hopefully will not be detrimental or even noticeable or significant to the people living in the place so the site plan, the configuration of the units is excellent. I am thereby pleased to approve this requested design review and like the previous item on the agenda before us if anyone in attendance wishes to appeal this matter. They must do so before January 18 at the end of the business day. With the project is approved as recommended by staff. And thank you very much all for attending today's zoning administrator meeting of January 7 2021 and I will call to close this meeting at 1058 a.m. Thank you very much.
