Applicant: Robert Zinngrabe; The Delma Care -Corporation A request to permit exceptions for the number and size of parking spaces, perimeter setback and unit type and size located at the Pacifica Community Plan, eastside of Florida Street, approximately 450 feet south of Main Street. At the November 27, 1984 Commission meeting, the Commission tabled Conditional Exception 84-09 in order to allow staff additional time to research past approvals and agreements throughout the Pacifica Community Plan. The concern raised by the Planning Commission centered around the adequacy of the on site parking. The requested ratio of one space for each three units is the same as all past residential approvals within the specific plan area. Staff revised the following conditions listed below, due to the Commission's concerns: CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL: 1. The site plan, floor plan, and elevations received and dated October 29, 1984 shall be the approved layout. 2. Employees of Pacifica Hospital shall be prohibited from parking at the Huntington Terrace retirement facility and the proposed 98-unit development. All on site parking shall be for residents, guests and employees only. 3. Prior to the issuance of building permits staff will conduct a parking assessment study for senior residential projects in the Pacifica Community Plan area. The parking study shall include analysis of the approved parking ratio (one space per three units) to determine if this ratio is adequate. If a parking study determines that the above ratio is inadequate, then additional parking shall be required in a manner to be determined by the Planning Commission. (1493d) -2- 12/4/84-PC MINUTES 1 4. All applicable conditions of Conditional Use Permit 83-27 shall remain in effect for this 98-unit development. 5. The project shall preserve all existing trees on site and shall incorporate them into the landscape plan. The Commission discussed the visitor, resident, and employee parking at the two facilities. Commissioner Higgins suggested that some of the open space could be used to pick up additional spaces. It was agreed that prior to 75% occupancy, staff will conduct a parking assessment study for the two projects and if the study determines that parking is inadequate, the applicant will provide employee parking off -site. PUBLIC HEARING OPEN Mr. Harlow, representative for Mr. Zinngrabe, felt satisfied that there was enough parking. He stated that there was no problem with the proposed conditions. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED Findings for Approval 1. The reduction of a 20 foot primary setback to 15 feet will not have an adverse impact on the adjacent land uses since the north and east property lines of the subject site abut parking lots. 2. The reduction in unit size from the required 500 square feet to 435 square feet will not have adverse impact on surrounding land uses since the units are intended for senior citizens and additional open space for the residents being provided in a common recreation room and common dining room. 3. The reduction in the number of on -site parking spaces from one space per unit to one space per three units and the inclusion of 14 compact parking spaces will not have an adverse impact on the surrounding land uses since the senior citizens living within the development generally will use public transportation or walk to shopping facilities located within the area. 4. The granting of the Conditional Exception is not inconsistent with the general purpose or intent of the Pacifica Community Plan because it promotes senior residential housing. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: 1. The site plan, floor plan, and elevations received and dated October 29, 1984 shall be the approved layout. 2. All on -site parking at the Huntington Terrace retirement facility and the proposed 98-unit development shall be restricted for residents, guests and employees only. (1493d) -3- 12/4/84-PC MINUTES 3.
