Resolution No. PC- 2. PRJ2021-00009 - SUB-2021-0001 - ZON-2021-0085. 2021-42 adopted, as APPLICANT AND PROPERTY OWNER: CRISPIN amended, and PC- ELEY.
2021-43 adopted
Associate Planner Hernandez provided a staff report and presentation on a request for a Tentative Parcel Map to subdivide one parcel into two parcels and a Minor Site Plan for the review of development standards and architectural compatibility on property located at 416 West Las Palmas Drive.
Chair Hansburg opened the public hearing at 6:40 p.m.
Applicant Crispin Eley spoke and requested a modification to the required condition to rehabilitate Las Palmas Drive (Public Works Condition #7, Resolution No. PC-2021-42) to establish a maximum cost associated with compliance.
Acting City Engineer Wieske stated that the cost of implementing the conditioned improvement is not available without knowing the pavement thickness and would be based on a geotechnical report. He noted, however, that an in-lieu payment, rather than construction, is identified as an option for compliance.
The following addressed the Planning Commission:
• Jenson Hallstrom, inquired about proposed landscape
plans of parcel 2, encouraged use of native plants, and retaining orange trees.
• Lynn Fruchey, believed it unreasonable for project to make roadway improvement at house frontage considering poor
condition of remaining road.
• Dawn Hanson, inquired about use of payments made for
specific improvements.

Chair Hansburg closed the public hearing at 6:48 p.m.
Acting City Engineer Wieske stated that the agreed upon in-lieu payment for a previous item that came before the Planning Commission has not yet been received by the City, but budgeting practice is to include it in the street fund for use on resurfacing projects.
Vice Chair Cox made a motion to amend Public Works Condition #7 in Resolution No. PC-2021-42 such that the project is required to rehabilitate the existing asphalt concrete along the project frontage to center line (rather than entire street width) and to add to this condition that in no case shall compliance with this obligation exceed $15,000.
Chair Hansburg made a substitute motion to amend Public Works Condition #7 in Resolution No. PC-2021-42 such that the project is required to rehabilitate the existing asphalt concrete along the project frontage to center line (rather than entire street width) and to add to this condition that in no case shall compliance with this obligation exceed $20,000.
