For an item not on today's agenda, please go ahead and use the raised hand feature. I'm not seeing any hands raised. So we'll move on to item number three, which is zoning administrator business. The zoning administrator is appointed by the planning and economic development director and has the responsibility and authority to conduct public hearings and take action on all applications for all administrative permits and approvals issued by the department. A determination or decision by the zoning administrator may be appealed to the design review board. And there are no zoning administrator reports for today. There are also no consent items today. So we will move on to item number five, which includes our scheduled items. The first item is a public meeting item for a conditional use permit for malaria fitness located at 2305 Chapman, court and Ms. two means is the project planner and perhaps our planning intern. Ms. Rago might be presenting on her behalf. Thank you zoning administrator Nicholson. Let me go ahead and share my screen. The project applicant is requesting a minor conditional use permit for their business. Meloria fitness located at 2305 Chapman court. Meliora fitness LLC is primary and online personal training and nutrition business. Clients may schedule one-on-one trainings at the submitted address 2305 Chapman court. Training will be conducted in the 24 by 21 feet finish garage. Only one client will be seen at a time with a 15 minute period between the next client ordered to the next client. Clients will park in the driveway and enter either through the main garage door or the side door into the garage located in the side yard beyond the fence. On site, scheduling hours will be from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Sunday. No access noise will occur. Music playing in the studio will comply with noise ordinances set by the city of Santa Rosa for zoning PD 0018. This area shows the project site highlighted in blue as the corner of Chapman court in Chapman way. The parcel is zoned very low residential and is zoned as a plan development PD 0018 which allows uses that are applicable under the R1 zoning district. No public comments have been made at this time. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and satisfies the provisions of CEQA and that a home occupation qualifies for a class 1 exemption under section 15 301 in that a home business presents negligible or no change in residential use for environmental consequences. The planning and economic development department recommends that the zoning administrator by resolution approve minor use permit for the property located at 2305 Chapman court, file number CUP 22-014. If anyone has any questions at this time, please feel free to contact us. Thank you for your presentation. I don't believe I have any questions right now. Is the applicant here and wishing to make any comments? The applicant is present. Great. I see a hand raised. Billy, would you like to provide some comments? No, I'm just here to answer any questions. If any come up. Okay, great. Thank you. Okay. Let's go ahead and move into public comment. Is there any member of the public that wishes to make a comment on this item? If so, please use the raise hand feature. Okay. I'm not seeing any hands raised. So I will close public comment. So thank you again for the presentation. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for your comment. So thank you again for the presentation. This seems like a. An appropriate and compatible home occupation. I can make the findings. I think that they're well done in the resolution. And I also appreciate the conditions that were added. Related to the number of. Non resident employees and just the, the staggering of appointments, which should minimize any parking or traffic impacts to the neighborhood. So. I, with that, I will be approving this minor conditional use permit. And just a note to members of the public. Any action taken by the zoning administrator today is not required. So if you wish to file an appeal, you can contact the project planner and that needs to occur within 10 calendar days. The date of the decision. Thank you. And with that, we'll move on to our next item. This is item 5.2. This is a public meeting for the. Hillside development permit. Retaining wall and arbor. This is a hillside development permit. And the site is located at 3893 sky farm drive. And miss two man's is the project planner. Thank you, Ms. Nicholson. Let me share my screen. So yes, this is a hillside development permit for. Proposed landscaping for. The request is to allow the construction of a retained wall and arbor. In a hillside development area. This is the aerial of the property before the tubs fire in 2015. As you can see, the site was altered for the original house. Here is the aftermath of the tubs fire. Unfortunately, in 2017. Here's the aerial from 2020. And as you can see this, the site is still considerably altered by the original house. Here's the site plan showing the replacement residents. And the landscape alterations. That include retaining walls. And the arbor to the rear of the house. Here's a topographical. Representation of the property. As you can see, there's some flat areas where the original house stood before the fires. And the applicant is the designers making use. Of the flat areas. As much as possible. Here's a slope analysis. There is an exception in the hillside development. Section of the code. That allows. Building into. Areas with higher grade. If it was altered originally altered. By the original dwelling. And that, that is the case here. Or it was altered by through the construction or. In this case, probably clearing. The burn debris from the original house. And here's that code section. The code states that project should not alter the slope that is greater than 25%. But it does provide exceptions. When the areas. Over a previously constructed slope in which case this is, and that's why I showed the original. Area of the original house. The planning and economic development department recommends that the zoning administrator by resolution, approve a minor hillside development permit for. A new retaining on Arbor and areas of 10% slope or greater. But I'd like to. Propose. An alteration to one of the conditions. Let me stop my sharing here. There is a standard condition. In the resolution that we. Normally include for hillside development permits that. Requires that the grading be limited to. In the resolution. Roadways, driveways, garage pads and under structure areas, including accessory structures, such as swimming pools. So it's condition number one in the resolution. Unfortunately, it doesn't capture retaining walls. So. I didn't want to. Exclude that from. The project. So. My suggestion would be to either. Or modify the condition to state. That the. Grading shall be limited to the plans dated. The plans that are part of the. Project dated receive January 26, 2022. So I, I wasn't sure which. Alteration of the condition you would prefer, but that is my recommendation. Thanks for bringing that up. Thank you. Perhaps the, the second condition that you recommended is a little bit better. Just so. You know, it captures. Any grading that might occur. Like in the Arbor area. And so that. That sounds good. And I'm. Yeah. Okay. With that. Thank you for the presentation. I do have a question. I just want to make sure I fully understand the area where this is happening. Certainly. Let me share my screen. Great. Okay. And then so this. The. The retaining walls. And it might be a better question for the applicant. I see that. The designer is present. Okay. Mike, would you mind raising your hand and then we can give you speaking permission? Thank you. Good morning. Good morning. I was just hoping that you can clarify. On this slope analysis. Just. Where the. The Arbor and the retaining walls are, are located. I just want to make sure that I, I mean, I, I know that they're. They're to the rear of the lot, but. I don't have the ability to move your mouse around, but. I don't, but if you, if we start on the left side of the drawing. The, the retaining walls. Yeah. Keep going to the left with the arrow. There's two walls right there. That you can see on the slope analysis. We superimpose the site plan on the site analysis. So you can see where we're proposing. There's a set of stairs there. Correct. And then there's a lower terrace. If you go above that with a round, rounded off. Retaining wall, which we were trying to round it to keep with the. The contours. So it's those three retaining walls. And then if you go to the right kind of parallel or horizontal. It's the. Yeah, keep going. Keep going. Yeah. Just a little bit above there. The zigzag wall and then the rounded off wall. Those are part of this permit as well. That we're requesting to flatten out the, the lower level. So. On this site, there used to be a two level house. The lower left. Was it's higher and then the lower terrace is upper right. The lower terrace. And then making that with the new house. But the new house is a little bit bigger. And so in order to provide enough flat terrace for the rear yard. We are pushing out and putting in a, you know. Landscape wall basically. On that lower terrace to get the lower terrace. And that's also an ADU there. A little bit of a backyard area. That's what it's going to look like. It's going to look like it's showing on this. Plan is. If you see those kind of step pads. To the left to where your arrow is. The arbor is in between those step pads and. The pool. To the left more and down. Keep going left there. Those rectangles. Yeah. So between that and then up to the right. The pool is that larger rectangle. Kind of where that two green, darker green triangles come together. That's the middle of the pool. That's been permitted with a separate permit. And then down to the left in between the step pads. And the pool is a 10 foot tall arbor, a 10 foot tall arbor. That's going to cantilever over the pool. Great. Thank you for that clarification. Okay. I don't have any additional questions at this time. But I'd like to open up public comment. Is there any member of the public that wishes to make a comment on this item? If so, please use the raise hand feature. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for that. And I'm just taking a look at the resolution. Miss. Miss two means. Were there no conditions of approval from engineering? Yes, there's no exhibit A for this project. Okay. I didn't mention there was no public comment either from neighbors whatsoever. So. No interest from the neighbors. Okay. Great. Thank you. I appreciate the presentation and thank you, Mr. Quick for providing that additional detail that was helpful. I have reviewed each of the findings in the resolution and. I, I agree with them. I think that. The retaining walls following the contours is important. I also appreciate that this site has. You know, some fairly large areas of 25% slope, which were likely altered and this would allow for, for use of the yard. And I think it's designed in a way that's sensitive to. Again, topography and also views in the area. So I will go ahead and sign the resolution of approval. Once miss to me and makes that. Modification to the first condition. And I'm assuming that that's okay with the applicant as well. That, that modification is acceptable. Thank you. Great. Okay. So yes, as soon as that modification is made, I will go ahead and sign. Sign it. And with that. I'll conclude this item and just a reminder to members of the public. This action is subject to appeal within 10 calendar days. And that's what we have today. And that is our last item on today's agenda. So. I will go ahead and conclude today's meeting. Thank you very much for attending.
