Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes March 18, 2025 Page 13 Chair Socha stated she would like to hear more about impervious surface. There are unique 1 circumstances regarding parking. A 5% increase in impervious surface should be looked at 2 further due to the unique circumstances of this property. 3 4 Commissioner Hark stated she would like input from the City Engineer on the impervious 5 increase. She would be open to the idea of increasing the impervious. 6 7 Commissioner Morita stated he would also like input from the City Engineer on the 8 impervious increase. 9 10 Commissioner Corneille stated he would be open to adjusting the impervious and looking at 11 water retention and drainage. There are other variances for this property, and he would be 12 open to what the City Engineer comes back with. Another use for this property would be a 13 multi-family building that would match the other surrounding units. 14 15 Commissioner Morita stated that there have been discussions about the lack of developable 16 space for affordable housing. This site could be used for affordable housing. 17 18 Chair Socha summarized there could be townhomes there. Commissioner Erickson stated 19 there is a development that could be created on the site that would not require the variances. 20 21 Mr. Grittman stated that this site is designated for high-density residential, and there is a range 22 of densities to make it fit on that site. We should not presume that 10 townhomes could be 23 done on that site. 24 25 Commissioner Corneille requested staff to provide unit counts for buildings 3727 and 3721 26 before further discussion occurs. 27 28 Chair Socha stated there are 3 options: vote for approval, vote for denial, or vote for the 29 applicant to come back with a revised proposal addressing how parking could be maximized 30 and a barrier/fencing/landscape plan on the north side. 31 32 Commissioner Morita asked Mr. Grittman if the recommendation is to deny, will it go to City 33 Council and the Council can consider or send it back to the Planning Commission for a 34 recommendation. 35 36 Motion by Commissioner Morita, seconded by Commissioner Erickson, to table with the 37 condition to request that the applicant update the proposal and resubmit the application within 38 15 days. If they chose not to resubmit, then the Planning Commission would recommend 39 denial for the reasons of parking and lack of impervious surface, and a barrier on the north 40 side of the site. 41 42 Motion carried 7-0. 43 44 VII. STAFF REPORTS - NONE. 45 46
