bonus for eight (8) units (or nineteen percent) and these units
would be designated as low or moderate income housing. The
Conditional Exception is to request that balconies be considered as
part of the open space requirements even though these units are
located on ground level. Staff has not been able to determine a
land related hardship for this request and would recommend denial of
the Conditional Exception'but approval of the Use Permit.
Les Evans asked how the project could be approved without the
Conditional Exception and Ms.'Phillips said the applicant had
indicated he could revise the location of the patios.
The' Public Hearing was opened by-'Chairman'Tom Poe. The applicant's
representative, Rick Jeffrey, was present and explained how the
patio areas could be altered. After questioning by Les Evans, he
further explained the architectural concept and theme. Tom Poe
interjected that the project would go before the Architectural
Review Board for review.

requirements for this and other projects and whether or not the Code
needed to be changed. Mr. Godfrey explained this project could be
brought into conformance with the Code by minor alterations to the
plans.
There were further discussions with the applicant's representative
relative to grading, drainage, the Alquist-Priola requirements,
turnarounds, ingress and egress points, fire protection, and fencing.

project so the Public Hearing was closed.

approval by the Director of Development Services. Since the project
was originally approved by the Board, the new request for deletion
of the windows along the West -wall was brought back to•them for

recommend deletion of the windows because this would leave a
completely solid wall. " ' -
The applicant, Richatd'Mount; explained they needed'to eliminate the
glass windows on the West side of the building to.satisfy the needs
of the proposed tenant. The solid walls would'be stucco matching

had discussed the matter with Les Evans and,they wer,e:,in agreement
that the.'map sh'ould'not be required. Mr— Smith also mentioned a
reciprocal, driveway•whic•h was of concern to Mr. Tucker; ,however,
Mr. Smith added he.di'd not wish.to address that concern at the
present time. Mr.,smith then said he would move'for removal of
Condition No. 2'of the Conditions of Approval dated September 10,
1986, which reads as follows:
"2. P'rior to issuance of 7building permits,. applicant , shall file a
parcel map for'j ease,purposes. Said map shall be recorded
prior to final'inspection."'-
This motion was seconded by Les Evans.
Glen Godfrey 'said the Board should ,have a' real. concern with removal
of that condition since it would also affect landscaping and
circulation requirements. He further added that, as he interpreted
the Subdivision•Map Ac`t,- Mr. Tucker wouid be required to file the
map for his leased parcel of land; but, if he just leased a building
from the owner, he would not need to file the map. Mr. Godfrey
further felt that -the adjacent property owners should have been
notified of any -amendments to this particular project since they had
been adamantly opposed to it originally. The original Use Permit
was conditionally approved after ,a, Public ,Hearing. ,;If ;the. site plan
had been 'amended and a request to ,remgve..a condition, is, submitted, a
Public Hearing should be set to hear the matter.
A lengthy discussion ensued regarding the difference in inter-
pretation of the Subdivision Map Act and further requirements, and
Les Evans reiterated the statement that a Tentative Parcel Map was
not required.
