PUBLIC HEARING - re Appeal of Site Plan Review SPR-9-80 by William W. Coshow The hour of 7: 30 P .M. having arrived, Mayor Pugh opened the Public Hearing re the appeal of Site Plan Review ,fJl application SPR-9-80, by William W. Coshow. I '1 036 The following documents are on file in the office of _0/6 the City Clerk: Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing Planning Commission Recommendation dated January 15 , 1981 The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been received, however, a petition to uphold the appeal has been received from property owners in the Sunset Terrace area. Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated January 15 , 1981. He stated that at a regular meeting, the Planning Commission unanimously approved the site plan for Brent Owen to con- struct a 2, 896-square-foot office building on property 1/19/81 33 located at 3591 Sunset Drive, in a "CO-BR-B30-F" Office District. Subsequent to that approval, Mr. William Coshow filed an appeal. Mr. Perry noted that the property was zoned "CO-BR-B30-F" and "U-F" by the City in 1980 after public hearings both by the Planning Commission and City Council . It was the opinion of both the City Council and the Planning Com- mission that the property was suitable for office develop- ment and was not considered appropriate for single-family and multiple-family use. Mr. Perry noted that the appeal does not pertain to the present zoning, but is concerned with whether or not the applicant' s project meets the eight site-plan-review criteria approved for the project, and the uses allowed by the zoning. It is the opinion of the Planning Commission and staff that the project meets the adopted site-plan- review criteria. Mr. Perry stated that in terms of traffic impact, which appears to be the foremost concern, staff feels the increase generated by the office will be generally insignificant. Mr. Perry stated that the Traffic and Parking Commission reviewed the project and a proposed change to make Redbud intersect Sunset Drive at a perpendicular angle. They determined to recommend to Council that the intersection not be changed, but that a stop sign be installed at the driveway to the applicant' s property. It is the recommendation of staff that the Commission ' s action be upheld and the appeal denied. If , in the alter- native, Council determines to deny the project, it would be appropriate to indicate in what manner the project does not conform with the site-plan-review criteria. Council Members Kirkpatrick and Gard stated they had received phone calls from Mrs. Howell registering her displeasure with the project. Mr. William Coshow, 2400 Scenic Drive, stated that the rezoning of the subject property was accomplished with many of the residents of Sunset Terrace being unaware of what was occurring. He said the negative declaration was approved by the Planning Commission although a petition was filed protesting the rezoning. Mr. Coshow remarked that the petition from residents protesting the project was not given to the Planning Commission. He cited problems of increased traffic and poor visibility . He felt that due to an error in not notifying all residents and not providing the Planning Commission with the petition of protest, the rezoning should be reconsidered and reverted to R-1 zoning. Mrs. O 'Banion, 910 Hallmark Drive, spoke in opposition to the project, citing the increase in traffic and poor visibility at the intersection. She requested the zoning be reverted to R-l. Mr. Frank Plummer, 755 Royal Oak, stated he feels the appeal of Mr. Coshow should be upheld.

It is the recommendation of the City Attorney that Council adopt the resolution and that copies be directed to the Sacramento Valley Division of the League and to the League • of California Cities. In response to an inquiry from Council Member Gard, Mr. Hays advised that the $10 , 000 limit originally discussed, was in- creased to $15, 000 , as it seemed like a more realistic figure.
