BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
After a duly noticed public hearing on March 23, 2016, the Planning Commission approved a request for a Variance for 3017 Elm Avenue. The project proposes to demolish the existing nonconforming home on a triangular shaped lot and construct a new 2,420 square foot two-story single family residence that will have a reduced front yard setback in addition to a reduced supplemental second story setback. The proposed new structure will conform to all other code requirements.
In accordance with Ordinance 15-0015 adopted June 16, 2015, any Councilmember may request review of a Planning Commission decision within twenty days (April 12, 2016) following the decision. For all requests for review, it shall be presumed that the reason for the request is that the decision may have significant and material effects on the quality of life within the City, or that the subject matter of the decision may have City-wide importance warranting review and determination by City’s elected officials. Bias shall not be presumed or inferred due to a request for review.
If no Councilmember requests that the decision be reviewed, the Mayor will receive and file the report by order of the Chair.
