There was no public testimony. <br />Staff addressed clarifying questions for the Commission. Following are some of the noted issues <br />discussed: <br />• Commissioner Watters was opposed to the language in the ADU definition requiring <br />ADUs to be `clearly subordinate' to the primary dwelling unit. <br />• Commissioner Mann said she is against including the garage in the square footage that is <br />used to calculate the maximum size of an attached ADU; Commissioner Nguyen is in <br />favor of including the garage. <br />• Parking concerns were expressed and discussed extensively and re -visited several times. <br />Commissioner Mann said she is against waiver of the second parking space for ADUs <br />over 600 sq. ft. where there is on -street parking and suggested retaining the requirement <br />that ADUs over 600 sq. ft. have two parking spaces. Commissioner Strander agreed. <br />Commissioner Nguyen said he prefers the proposed waiver. <br />• Commissioner Mann discussed the idea that ADUs should have higher side yard <br />setbacks. <br />DEFINITIONS / MOTIONS: <br />Commissioner Mann moved to strike the verbiage `including an attached garage' from section <br />18.50.220 A 3. Commissioner Martinez seconded the motion. The motion passed with three in <br />favor. Commissioners Nhan and Watters were opposed. <br />Commissioner Mann moved, to add staff's proposed language, to section 18.50.220 A 7, to read, <br />`Detached ADUs must be set back at least as far from the street as the primary single-family <br />dwelling. This does not apply to the second front of a through or corner lot, where the unit is <br />incorporated into an existing structure, or where there is at least 60 feet between the existing <br />single-family dwelling and front property line.' Commissioner Martinez seconded the motion. <br />Motion passed. <br />Commissioner Watters moved to maintain the current parking requirement language, section <br />18.50.220, B, 1-4.
