No one had objections to any of the <br />Commissioners hearing the case. <br />Stacy MacGregor, Assistant Planner, Department of Community Development, gave the presentation for <br />staff. She gave an overview of the proposed project. A comment letter was received expressing concern with <br />multi - family uses in the residential zone; Staff stated that the area is zoned to allow multi - family uses. Also, <br />a comment letter was received from the adjacent daycare operator, regarding the private access and parking <br />easements for the daycare's benefit on the applicant's property. And also, safety concerns for the children <br />during construction. While the easements are reflected on the site plan, it is not the City's role to enforce an <br />easement agreement between two private property owners. Staff stated that the challenge with the project was <br />to design a building that is harmonious with the existing surrounding neighborhood when the development is <br />significantly older and significantly smaller than what the code allows. Staff recommended approval of the <br />project with two conditions, and five conditions of approval that will be added to the future Building Permit <br />as listed in the staff report dated September 18, 2012. Staff responded to questions from the Planning <br />Commission. <br />Page 1 of 4 <br />
