DISCUSSION:
Code Amendment 81-5 was originally prepared to resolve a number of
conflicts within the Oldtown and Townlot Specific Plans. This
amendment included a definition of site coverage, a revision to
the language in the front yard setback requirements, revised rear
yard setbacks for lots not abutting an alley, provisions regulat-
ing the location of fences, walls and hedges, a provision requiring
a 22 foot front yard setbacks for garages entered directly from
the street, and several miscellaneous word changes. During the
process of this code amendment, . the City Council requested that
the staff explore a double-zero side yard setback concept for the
Townlot Specific Plan. The provisions for such an amendment were
prepared by the staff and reviewed and discussed on numerous oc-
casions by 'the "Planning Commission. These provisions allowed a
structure to be built at zero side yard setback on both sides of
an interior 25 foot wide lot. The third section added to this
amendment was requested by the Planning Commission to provide an
additional front yard setback for the third-story portion of any
three-story dwelling built in the Townlot or Oldtown Specific
Plan areas.

September 21, 1981
Page 3
After numerous public hearings and considerable Planning Commission
discussion., the Planning. Commission adopted two. of the three ele-
ments which were- included in Code Amendment 81-5. The Planning
Commission eliminated the double-zero side yard concept and in-
cluded the additional front yard setback for the third-story.
portion of a three-story structure.. The main portion of this
code amendment which included the majority of the minor revisions
was unchanged by the Planning Commission.
The Code Amendment 'as presented to the Council is the composite of
the three different sections reviewed by the Planning Commission.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS:
Under the provisions set forth in the Environmental Quality Act
Code Amendment 81-5 is categorically exempt from environmental
assessment.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Not applicable.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
The City Council may consider revisions to Code Amendment 81-5
which would require additional review by the Planning Commission.
The Council may also consider denying Code Amendment 81-5.

FINDINGS: CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 81-012
The Planning Commission may approve a conditional exception if it
makes findings that the variance is necessary because of excep-
tional circumstances, and the inability to enjoy property rights
and finds that the exception would not be detrimental to the
public health, safety, and welfare or injurious to the surrounding
area and that the applicant is willing and able to proceed with
the project without unnecessary delay (9832. 1-9832. 4) .
. 1 . There are exceptional circumstances applicable to the land,
and building that do not apply generally to other properties
in the same district. The horse facility is a temporary land
use, and to require an improvement to the parking lot and
require a two car garage would be an unnecessary hardship to
the applicant.
2. Approval of Conditional Exception No. 81-012 is necessary
for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property
rights. Approval of Conditional Exception No. 81-012 will
allow the continuation of an existing horse facility.
3. The granting of Conditional Exception No. 81-012 will not be
materially detrimental to the public health, safety, and wel-
fare or injurious to the existing horse facilities within the
area.
4 . The applicant has indicated she is willing and able to carry
out the project without undue delay.

CODE AMENDMENT NO. 81-5 (Cont. from August 5, 1981)
Applicant: Initiated by Development Services
An amendment to Article 915, Oldtown Specific Plan, and to Article
935, Townlot Specific Plan. This amendment is to clarify and il-
lustrate specific zoning requirements pertaining to street visi-
bility, sight angle, setback and yard requirements. The amendment
also proposes to establish a provision for zero setback on both
sides of lots located in the Townlot Specific Plan only.
Savoy Bellavia pointed out minor corrections in .the staff report .
He stated that the additional language would eliminate the bridge
corridor from site coverage in both Townlot and Oldtown Specific
Plans. Because of "wordiness" of a number of different configura-
tions, a decision was made that the 25 foot front setback for the
third story was the most direct, still leaving some flexibility to
the architect.

Council)
Requests to permit a portion of the main buildings to be con-
structed with zero side yards on both sides on properties located
at llth and Olive and at 18th and Orange, respectively.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY PAONE AND SECONDED BY SCHUMACHER TO RECOMMEND
TO CITY COUNCIL A DENIAL WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS, BY THE
FOLLOWING VOTE:
FINDINGS FOR DENIAL: CONDITIONAL EXCEPTIONS NOS . 81-17 AND 81-18
1. Since the Townlot Specific Plan allows for individual detached
units on a zero lot line development on 25-foot lots in the
Townlot Area, . there . is no exceptional circumstance unique to `
the petitioned property that deprives it of privileges nor-
mally enjoyed.
2. Since the Townlot Specific Plan allows for zero lot line de-
velopment' with a minimum of 5 feet separation between every
other unit, the granting of this conditional exception would
