I'm a senior planner with the city of Santa Rosa and I will be conducting the meeting today and also welcome your attendance. We are holding today's meeting remotely and this is in accordance with state law and also the county health order to reduce the transmission of COVID-19. And we will be conducting this meeting in order of the agenda that Kimberly has displayed here on the screen. So each item will be taken in turn. The project planner will make a presentation and then the applicant may choose to add to that presentation. Each item will have a period for any public comment. And then we can ask questions and act on each of the items. And each of these steps I'll acknowledge the appropriate individuals. So those that are on zoom can use the raise hand feature.

So with that, we can go ahead and get started with the second item on the agenda. This is for public comment for any items that are not listed on the agenda. So I will go ahead and open public comment. So if you wish to provide a comment, go ahead and use the raise hand feature or you can press star nine if you're calling in. Okay. Not seeing any hands raised so we can go ahead and move on to our first scheduled item and this is a conditional youth permit for 743 Lewis road and the project planner is miss to me and give Ms. Nicholson let me just share my screen. My two means senior planner and I'd like to discuss 743 Lewis road. As you can see the property is a single family residents in a suburban suburban block, and it's in a heavily trafficked, fairly heavily trafficked area given all the ins and outs around the property. And the applicant is proposing a front yard fence, three feet from the sidewalk. It has horizontal slats and the proposed fence meets the driveway triangle vision triangle standards for pedestrian safety for vehicles backing out of the driveway. The reason the applicant requests the fence is for safety reasons. One, she's had issues with vandalism and trespassing. And the other concern is dogs and grandchildren visiting and that heavily trafficked road in front of the house. And the fence would provide both a visual and noise barrier as well as a safety barrier. A staff is recommending approval of the fence and the property owner is available for questions and comments as well. Thank you. I do have a few questions. Primarily, I think for the applicant. I, I think that I understand the, the concern and the desire for a taller fence in that front yard area to provide some more safety and security based on the, the traffic on the street. And people that may be walking around the area. I, I do think that the fence could benefit from just some, some design changes, not the fence itself I think that it's an attractive design. But I think in terms of the distance from the back of the sidewalk being three feet and the height of the fence that a little bit more of a buffer would provide a little bit more neighborhood compatibility. So I'm just wondering if there's a possibility to consider moving the fence back a little bit and including some landscaping. I think that would be something that the applicant would, would agree to and if it might be possible to continue this to the next zoning administrator meeting to allow for the consideration of some of those changes. Is I'm the applicant may I should I talk now. Okay, so are you saying maybe move the fence a little further back like five feet. Is that what you're asking you're proposing or changing the design of the fence. I don't have any concerns about the design of the fence. I think it's just the, the distance from the back of the sidewalk. Just the height of it and not it is solid but I think that you know the materials nice and I like the, the horizontal design so my thought is just that if it could be perhaps moved back a little bit to just provide a little bit more relief for those that are walking on the sidewalk. And then maybe a landscape feature and I don't have anything particular in mind but that can kind of help when you have a taller wood fence just to break it up a little bit. So those might be some things to to consider. And I don't think this requires that new plans be submitted I think that if you and miss to me and have that conversation, we, we could add some conditions of approval that memorialize any of these changes that don't require that that extra time or cost with the with the architect. There's no specific footage that you're proposing. So it is what you're saying just when you say a little bit do you mean two feet three feet. Well I think that that's why it might be beneficial to continue it and not really quantify that in the meeting because I think that I'm not really sure what that is but I think that you and miss to me and could work on on what that amount is. I appreciate that you you want to have that space, you know there's a courtyard proposed in there and so I don't want to give out a number that would prohibit you from actually enjoying that space but I think the objective is to just reduce the visual appearance of the fence along the street and the sidewalk. So, you know that that might be I would say, at least five feet would be would achieve that and if you're comfortable going more than five feet. You know that that's up to you. But I think that at least a few feet would would really help to reduce the visual impact and so hopefully have enabled you to use the space how you would you would like to use it. Okay. Alright, then I would work with her or work with my architect. I think you can work with miss to me and and then I would suggest, you know, just checking back in with your architect to ensure that that that works with with the plans and the construction but I would imagine that it would. Okay, is there anything else I should be concerned about then to make, or is that the only issue here. Yeah, that's, that's the only concern that I see I appreciate the presentation and explaining the, the circumstances. You know, within the area that would warrant some more more of a secure fence in the front yard but I think just reducing that visual impact. Yeah, we'll help a lot. Okay. And I don't know if this is because on the next door, their their hedge which is probably 20 feet tall is on the sidewalk line. I don't know if that matters at all under these issues and if it doesn't that's fine. I'm very willing to set this back a little bit a little bit. So, yeah, okay. All right, so I guess that's it I guess I will work with her so thank you very much for your. Thank you very much. Okay, thank you miss Miller and so we'll go ahead and continue this particular item to a date certain of October 21. This is that correct me to me and so that works for you. And then that way there's there's no need to to re notice the project. So if there is anyone listening from the public they understand that we'll consider this again on October 21. Thank you. Okay. Okay, thanks very much. And I'm sorry I moved ahead a little bit quickly but is there any member of the public that would like to provide comments on this item. Okay, I'm not seeing any hands raised. So, as I mentioned, we'll continue this to October 21. Thank you so much. Next on the agenda we have a conditional use permit for 1369 Peterson Lane and the project planner is Mr. McKay. Sweet. Can you see my screen. Yes. Cool, thank you. Yeah, my name is Connor McKay city planner and I'm happy to be here this morning to present the conditional use permit located at 1369 Peterson Lane. This permit is a request for a six foot side yard fence that would be located 11 feet, four inches from the back of sidewalk, where a 15 foot setback would typically be required. This fence would replace the existing four foot fence to provide additional privacy and security for private yard space. Here is a location aerial of 1369 Peterson. And as you can see, they don't really have a whole lot of backyard space. And this is actually technically considered to be the front yard by the zoning code but in practice it's kind of their side yard and it's right now it's Let's see if we had a site plan. So this is what the fence looks like right now so it's not really suitable for private and secure enjoyment. So the new fence would be located like I said a little bit over 11 feet from the back of sidewalk, it would comply with the driveway vision triangle standard, and it would be six feet in height. And here is an example of the proposed fence style. The project is exempt from Sequa and that is the construction of a small structure. So it fits the criteria under class three. And with that the planning and economic development department recommends that the CA by resolution approve this condition use permit for the construction of a six foot fence, located 11 feet four inches from the back of sidewalk or a 15 foot setback would otherwise be required at 1369 Peterson Lane. I know the applicant is available for questions and comments I don't think they have any remarks to add to my presentation. Thank you, Mr McKay. Just a quick question. If you could go back to the photographs of the existing fence. So, right in that upper photograph, it shows the existing fence so that's currently a back of sidewalk so this new six foot fence to be 11 feet from that location. That's correct. Okay. Great. And okay, I don't think I have any additional questions. I, I understand based on the configuration of the property and the home that that there's a need for some private and secure outdoor space. And I appreciate that it's, you know, still provides. A substantial difference from the back of the sidewalk. And I think the fence design is compatible and of good material. So I thank you for that presentation. Are there any members of the public that would like to provide comments on this item. Okay, seeing none. I will be, I will approve the conditional use permit for this. And I thank you for the presentation and for the applicant being in attendance. Okay, so moving on to item 3.3. This is a conditional use permit for 822 Louisa drive and the project planner is miss shake Holly. Morning, miss Nicholson can you hear me. Yes, I'm going to share my screen so I can go over my presentation. And thank you and good morning. So as you mentioned, this is a minor conditional use permit for Stephens start weather massage. So I'm going to next page is located at 822 Louisa drive. So the minor use permit is to allow a home occupation use for massage therapy and hypnotherapy services. That is going to be from Tuesday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm, with maximum of three clients per day. So here is the site, the general plan land use low density residential and the zone is PD plan development. The site already has one single family and the existing driveway so customers clients will park their cars on the driveway. Like a floor plan for the existing house and you can see the client session is provided one of the areas in the front of the house. So a notice was sent to neighbors within 600 feet and staff did not receive any comments or concerns about the proposed use. The applicant mentions that we'll have a maximum of three clients per day and that sometimes can be even less than three clients. Parking will be provided on the site and the project has been conditioned to make sure there won't be two clients at the same time. So they will be like a sometime between the one client and then second one. So the project has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and it qualifies for a class one exemption under section 15301. In that it is an existing facility which is a single family home. And with that, the planning and economic development department recommends that the zoning at next later by resolution approve and why not conditional use permit for the property located at 822 Louisa Drive. And that was my staff report. I know the applicant is also available if there are any questions. Thank you. Thank you for that presentation. Just a quick question and you may have gone over this. Are there specific hours of operation that are included in the project description or as conditions of approval. Sure, it will be from 10am to 5pm. Okay, great. So it's 9am to 5pm. I'm sorry. Okay. Are there any members of the public that wish to provide comments on this item? Not seeing any hands raised. I appreciate the proposal. I see that it would have a minimal if no impact at all on the neighborhood considering that the number of clients and also that on site parking would be provided. And also that the hours of operation are, you know, not too early in the morning and not too late in the evening. So I am comfortable with the proposal and I thought I will approve the conditional use permit for this project. Thank you. Thank you, Kimberly. Okay, next up we have item 3.4. This is a both for conditional use permit and design review for 2705 Santa Rosa Avenue and the project planner is Ms. Shekali again. Thank you again. Okay, so let me share my screen. So the project before you the second his plan is fitness for a property located at 2705 Santa Rosa Avenue. Okay, so this is a minor use permit and minor design review to allow operation of 15,000 square feet approximately square feet health fitness facility with extended hours of operation 11pm to 6am and some minor modification to the building facade of an existing building. As you can see in this picture, this building used to be toys or Oz and it has been making for a while so the applicants will use portion of this property portion of this structure for planet fitness that will be operating 24 hours. So just to be clear, the use is permitted by right, but a minor use permit is required for the extended hours which is, which is going to be from 11pm to 6am. So here is where the site is located and only half, almost half of that structure will be occupied by the planning fitness and the general plan land use CG, general commercial and the, I mean, the zone is CG and the general plan land uses retail and business services. The site is next to Highway 101 and there are multiple different large retail stores also in that area. The parking is provided on the site and exceed the number of required parking spaces. There are totally 187 parking for the entire building and for the entire building if you use the retail space required for the parking spaces, 152 will be required so there are more than 30 additional parking spaces on the site. Here is the site plan and it shows the area where the plan fitness will be placed inside of that building. And I'm going to go over the exterior changes to this building. So on the top of the page is the existing elevations. There are some color ones that I will go over them also. And the applicant is proposing to add more windows and two separate doors on the site facing the parking lot. This is the elevation facing Highway 101. The north one shows the one on the top of the page shows existing elevation and the one below shows the proposed one. And here is the color one. As you can see, the building will be divided to two different tenants, more windows will be added, separate door awnings will be added and the materials will be stock code and some sightings. The applicant is available and if anyone has questions, he can go over more detail. Notices were sent out and staff did not receive any comments or questions from the public and this project also has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. And it qualifies for two exemption class one and class three. It is the use between the existing structure with no result in significant impacts also there will be minor exterior modification to the existing structure. With that, the Planning and Economic Development Department recommends that the Zoning Act administrator by resolution approved this minor conditional use permit and minor design review for the property located at 2705 Central Rosa Avenue. And that was my presentation. Thank you. Great. Thank you. Does the applicant have any, any comments to share just just for questions I do have a few questions and Misha colleague that you might be able to answer them as well. Sure. Sorry miss Nicholson Andrew Davies on behalf of plan of fitness here if you have any questions as well. Great. Thanks so much. You mentioned that there. So there's stucco and then there's a different type of siding is it. I couldn't quite read on the elevation what it was. Is it like a, is it a different. Is it metal or would that shown kind of around the glazing. Let me let me pull that up and share also the screen David. Thank you. And are you looking miss Nicholson are you are you asking on the on the front elevation or the side elevation and believe there's a top left corner there's the information for the specific materials there. Yes, I'm trying it's a little bit blurry. Okay it looks like metal panels. And then. Okay so that's kind of the darker brown color, and then on a proposed canvas or metal on a okay. And then on the elevation that's facing highway 101 is there any sort of relief along that I can't. It's difficult for me to see, or is that just the change in material that that three boxes pointing to. Yeah, there's a there's a slight relief there, the, you know, the non structural break in the in the stucco there. Okay. Yeah. So just as a point of clarification so as you see on the, the front elevation there on the right side will be the planet fitness we are proposing to, to perform, you know, the upgrades or update to the to the elevations on on the area outside what planet fitness will be occupying but there will be a separate application for the use. I believe it's already been submitted to the city by the by the future occupant though. Okay, great. And then are there any. I'm not sure what the landscape situation is out there is there any proposed landscaping for the project. There isn't any proposed landscaping there are some planters out in the front, or at the at the front elevation. You can see there in that picture there's some some planner boxes and then on the on the far side, and then including that tree there are some some tree wells and bushes out there. Okay, and that I understand the planner placement because there's just sidewalk right up to the building. Okay, that's helpful. Thank you. Okay, I don't think I have any additional questions at this time. Appreciate those responses. Are there any members of the public that would like to provide comments on this item. Okay, seeing none. I appreciate the design modifications and in particular I like all the added glazing and the changes to materials. I understand that the landscaping limitations, considering the sidewalk. And, you know, it's great that there'll be a use and a 24 hour use in this area just to have more activity in this in the shopping center so I will be approving the minor conditional use permit and design review. And thank, thank you both for your time today. Thank you. Thank you. Okay, we'll go ahead and move on to the next item on the agenda. This is for a conditional use permit for 2663 Santa Rosa Avenue and the project planner is Mr. Russ. Thank you. Miss zoning administrator. I'm going to pull up the presentation right now. Okay, do you see the presentation on the screen. Great. Okay, so the item before you is a minor conditional use permit for the purposes of the band field pet hospital file number CUP 21 dash 067 located at 2663 Santa Rosa Avenue. Very close to the to the previous project actually in the same parking lot. Again, it's a minor conditional use permit for the band field that hospital it's a medical service veterinary vet vet veteran veteran veterinary clinic in an existing 3700 square foot tenant space. The project does not include any overnight boarding or kenneling. There's no outdoor amenities such as dog washing or dog run proposed as part of this project and the hours of operation are from 7am to 7pm seven days a week. So here's the approximate location. I think believe that to 705 as a previous project it's within the south side shopping center. Here's the site plan. So you have so here's this little bit of band field here. And then the parking for the total parking exceeds the minimum requirements when considering the requirements of one space for 250 square feet for the entire shopping center as a whole. Here's an internal floor plan. Just, this would be a tenant improvement to an existing space again no outdoor changes are proposed signage would come in later and under a separate permit. And with that the planning and economic development department recommends that the zoning administrator by resolution approve a minor conditional use permit for the band field pet hospital. A veterinary clinic located at 2663 Santa Rosa Avenue file number. Cp 21 dash 067 And here's my contact information available for any questions and I know that the applicant is here as well to answer any questions. That may come up. Great. Thank you, Mr. Russ. I don't have any questions at this time. Are there any members of the public that would like to provide. Comments on this item. Okay. Seeing none. I. Yes, I, I think that this is an appropriate use for the site. I appreciate that you went into the parking analysis as well. But that particular shopping center has quite a few parking spaces. And I am happy to see that this veterinary hospital will be relocated. I think I know where it is currently. And, you know, based on the hours of operation and the lack of outdoor activities and I don't have any concerns about the compatibility with the adjacent businesses so I will be approving the use permit. Thank you. Thank you. Okay, moving on to item 3.6. This is a landmark alteration permit for 224 West 7th Street. And the project planner is Mr. Ross. Thank you. I'm going to go ahead and share my screen again. Okay, do you see this okay. Yeah. Okay, cool. So this is the calderon deck project it is a minor landmark alteration permit file number lma 21 dash 013 located at 224 West 7th Street. The project includes a lma landmark alteration permit to legalize an existing deck in the rear yard of a single family residence located within the West End Preservation District materials materials provided include wooden corrugated There was a historic consistency evaluation by Alice Duffy. An architectural historian dated August 6 2021, which concluded that the project complies with findings for a landmark alteration permit including the Secretary of Interior standards for that as applicable. So here's the project location. Again on West 7th Street. Here's the site plan. Parking is not really an issue it's a single family home existing that's not really under discussion but as you can see it is existing it does have a covered corrugated metal roof and the base is made out of is of wood material. Previously, there used to be a porch in the rear of the house that was since closed and then this deck was added later on to make up for that that closure of that porch the porch wasn't closed. So, and considering this deck staff looked at it and looked at a lot of, you know, looked at a lot of these pictures on on what it looks like but a lot of these are just personal storage items and what's used on the deck and not so much the design of the deck itself. The deck itself is straightforward simple material and and the, the, if you were to put this deck in now or, or, you know, legalize this deck now, it would not preclude or be detrimental to any of the historic analysis or historic nature of the property. In addition, the deck does comply with side yard setbacks and rear yard setbacks. And here's just some more images of the existing deck. This type of home is kind of like a, they have a sub the, this is technically the first floor the and then the bottom floor is the is the basement it's not habitable space per se. It's, it's pretty common with these types of phones in this area, although that can be converted under separate permit. And with that the planning and economic development department recommends that the zoning administrator by resolution approve a minor landmark alteration permit for the Calderon deck residential deck in the rear yard of the property located at 224 West 7th Street file number LMA 21-013. And I should mention that this will clear up a code enforcement case for an unpermitted deck. There are conditions, they will have to get new footings and go through the building permit process for that. That concludes my presentation. Thank you. Thank you so much. What does the applicant have anything to add. Okay. I think that Mr Montes has his hands raised. I just like to say that I'm the project plan or the lab on this project and if you have any questions for me or the homeowner please let us know if the Dean Calderon is the homeowner is also present today. Great. Thank you so much. I have a question actually for Mr Roth. Were there any public comments received in response to noticing done for this meeting. There were not. Okay. Thank you. Are there any members of the public who would like to provide a comment at this time. Okay. I appreciate that there was a historic resource consistency evaluation. I think that that's really fundamental in approving a landmark alteration permit. I, I don't have any concerns about about the deck. I understand the need for greater use of that space and, you know, appreciate that it's that it's made out of wood. And also knowing that there aren't any, any neighbor concerns about about the deck and it impacting views or anything like that. I also, you know, recognize like the consistency evaluation likely found that it's a removable condition and wouldn't have an impact on the historic home. So with that, I will go ahead and approve the landmark alteration permit. Thank you all for attending. Okay, so I believe that is the last item on today's agenda. So I will go ahead and close the zoning administrator meeting at 1111 today.
