       DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR SINGLE-FAMILY DEVELOPMENTS
       FOR SETBACKS, ENCROACHMENT PLANE, HEIGHT, LOT COVERAGE,
       FLOOR AREA AND OTHER MINOR AMENDMENTS
       Recommendation of City Manager: It is recommended that the City
       Council, following a public hearing:
       (1) Adopt the Initial Study (Attachment E of the agenda report) and the
       Negative Declaration for the proposed Code Amendments and direct the City
       Clerk to file a Notice of Determination;
       (2) Approve staff's recommendation to amend the Zoning Code as
       described in the agenda report; 
       (3) Approve a finding of consistency with the General Plan; and
       (4) Direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance codifying these
       amendments and return within 90 days for first reading.
       Recommendation of Planning Commission: On April 22, 2009, the
       Planning Commission recommended the proposed Code Amendments as
       prepared by staff with the following changes:
           A.  Reduce the length of first floor additions with non-conforming
           setbacks from 20 feet to 10 feet.
           B.  Reduce the length of second floor additions which project into the
           encroachment plane from 20 feet to 10 feet.
           C.  Allow an increase in lot coverage from 35 to 40 percent (for
           properties between 7,200 square feet and 12,000 square feet) for
           single-story construction only.
           D.  Instruct staff to return to the Planning Commission on a later date
           to discuss adding the square footage of basements to floor area.
       Staff agrees with Item C of the Planning Commission's recommendation and
       has included this in the recommended action.  In regard to Items A and B
       (reducing the length of first and second floor), both staff and the Planning
       Commission agree that additional limits are appropriate; however, there is a
       difference of opinion as to what those limits should be, as discussed further in
       the body of the agenda report.  In addition, staff feels Item D (the issue of
       adding basements) has been analyzed and addressed in previous
       amendments, as discussed in Attachment A (Areas Analyzed but not
       included in the Amendments) of the agenda report. Therefore, staff does not
       recommend approval of the Planning Commission's recommendation D.
