Location: 309 Charles Street, on the north side of Charles Street at the intersection of Magnolia Street, in the Downtown Specific Plan Area. Staff Recommendation: Deny the Appeal. Presented by Wayne Loftus, Director. Reference: Staff Report dated April 9, 2001. Mr. Loftus talked about the applicant's submittal for the construction of a single - family residential dwelling, which would be located in the Downtown Specific Plan Area. Mr. Loftus described the applicant's submittal as not being consistent with the intent and design criteria of the Downtown Specific Plan Area, nor does it meet the findings for a variance, which was requested for side and front yard setbacks. The Commission discussed the different alternatives presented by the applicant and offered the suggestion that this project was achievable but was dependent upon a design approach consistent with the Downtown Specific Plan. Testimony received by the following: Ron Widiner, 309 Charles Street, Moorpark. Mr. Widiner asked for direction and how to proceed. Mr. Widiner questioned the Commission about the Downtown Specific Plan Area, current development conditions and whether or not his submittal was out of line with the adjacent residential uses. Joe Ahearn, 484 E. Los Angeles Avenue, Moorpark. Mr. Ahearn complimented Mr. Widiner's perseverance to develop within the Downtown Area. Mr. Ahearn having participated on the Downtown Advisory PLANNING COMM April. 9, 2001 Page 3 ANNOTATED MEETING AGENDA Committee, who commented on the Specific Plan, provided background information as to the intent and purpose of the adopted Downtown Specific Plan. The Commission's discussion concluded that the proposal submitted by the applicant and denied by the Director required additional attention in the following areas: • A re- submitted plan that addresses design criteria found in the Downtown Specific Plan has potential to be approved; • The current application does not adequately show how it complies with the Downtown guidelines; • A design professional would be of assistance to the applicant to resubmit an application. • The variance proposed was not explained adequately enough to evaluate the proposal. • The applicant provided elevations for his proposal, but are difficult to compare to the Downtown design guidelines. MOTION: Commissioner Landis moved and Commissioner DiCecco seconded a motion to approve staff recommendation to deny an appeal to Director's Decision to deny Administrative Variance No. 2001 -01 and Administrative Permit No. 2002 -02 on the application of Ron widiner with the adoption of Resolution No. PC- 2001 -406. Motion passed with a unanimous 5:0 voice vote. 9) DISCUSSION ITEMS: A) Joint City Council /Planning Commission Meeting of Thursday, May 17, 2001, at 6:30 p.m. to consider Fiscal Year 2001 -2002 Goals and Objectives and other items or issues as may be determined. �— Received and filed information included with the agenda and concluded to discus possible items for PLANNING COMMISSION ANNOTATED MEETING AGENDA April 9, 2001 Page 4 Joint City Council /Planning Commission meeting on April 23, 2001. 10) ANNOUNCEMENTS AND FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS: None 11) ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business, the meeting adjourned by Commissioner Landis' motion and Commissioner Haller's second to adjourn at 8:45 p.m. Any member of the public may address the Planning Commission during the Public: Comments portion of the Agenda, unless it is a Public Hearing or a Presentation /Action /Discussion item.
