2. Proximity of the trash enclosure to neighboring townhouse units to the north of the property. 3. Visibility of the parking area to townhouse units to the north, and options for screening. 4. Other comments related to development of the site within an already heavily developed area. Several neighbors also expressed support for the land use generally, in the context of those particular concerns expressed above. After significant discussion, the Planning Commission voted to recommend either of two optional paths for the developer. The first was to table action on the application, and provide the applicant the opportunity to modify the plan to increase off-street parking supply for the facility, and address any impervious surface issues that such a modification would create, in addition to those other aspects of the Commission’s discussion. This option would return to Planning Commission for further review. The second alternative offered to the applicant was to treat the Commission’s action as a recommendation for denial if they wished to proceed to the City Council without making the suggested changes. The applicant has since provided updated plans and applied for a third variance, this one to the standard maximum impervious surface based on an expansion of the parking lot. Other site plan amendments have been added, which are discussed below. The supplemental or modified staff comments are italicized to distinguish from original report commentary.

As noted above, the original application was for the required Conditional Use Permit for a multi-family residential facility of between 20 and 40 units per acre. The original application also included two variance requests, one for a reduced side yard setback to the south property line, and one for a reduced parking count, consisting of surface, rather than underground/under-building parking. The applicant has revised the application following the initial Planning Commission public with a series of modifications to the plans, one of which has resulted in a request for a third variance to accommodate an expansion of the allowable impervious surface on the site to approximately 54.3%, beyond the 22
