The existing single-family residence will remain. On September 13, 2005, the Planning Commission considered the applicant's project, along with a request for Design Review for the second unit and four car garage. The Commission approved the design plans, and adopted Resolution Number R-09-05, which is a recommendation to the City Council for approval of the Zone Change, and Adoption of the Negative Declaration. FISCAL IMPACT: Positive impact, the property will be improved from its current condition thus increasing the property value generating a small amount of additional property tax. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: Based on an Environmental Assessment, it was concluded that there would be no significant impact to the environment; therefore, the Planning Commission recommends approval of a Negative Declaration for the project.
