HARE City Treasurer To: Honorable City Council From: Patrick J. Richards, Director of Community Development Date: July 31 , 1990 (CC meeting 8/15/90) Subject: RPD 89-4 Minor Modification No. 1 Background On May 16, 1990 the City Council approved Resolution 90-673 approving Residential Planned Development Permit 89-4 allowing construction of 257 townhouses and three recreation areas on a 22.05 acre parcel. Discussion The requested Minor Modification to RPD 89-4 is to change the wording of Condition 99.c of Resolution 90-673. Condition 99.c currently reads as follows: "The entire attic area for the multifamily residential units shall be convened to a storage area by installing 1/2 inch thick plywood flooring and full sheetrock walls. The sheetrock shall be a minimum of 5/8 inch thick. An electrical light and folding ladder shall also be installed. A smoke alarm shall be provided if preferred by the Fire Department." When this permit was approved by the City Council on May 16, 1990, the submitted elevations depicted each unit as having an attic located above 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529-6864 the top floor hallway. This attic was to have had a maximum height of approximately ten feet. At the time of approval the submitted sectional elevation (attached) did not take into account the structural designs necessary to support the roof. After taking into account the truss beams necessary for the roof support, the height of the attic ranges from a minimum of 2'4" to a maximum of 6'6" in height (compared to a minimum of 4'10" before the truss beams were considered). It is the contention of the applicant that due to the drastic height reduction of the attic (precluding use as a storage area or a bonus room), the wording of Condition 99.c should be revised. The proposed wording being requested in this application is as follows: "That the attic area above the dwelling space must be accessible for light storage by a ceiling opening with a drywall cover, an electrical light with a switch must be installed, and four (4) sheets of 4'x8'x1/2 inch plywood be installed across the ceiling joints at the access opening." Staff can support the applicant's request with a condition that a folding ladder (or some other type of ladder which shall be approved by the Director of Community Development) be installed in each unit to provide access to the attic. It is staff's position that a folding ladder attached to the attic space is necessary for both access and safety reasons. The Director of Community Development will condition that the revised text of condition 99.c. read as follows: "That the attic area above the dwelling space must be accessible for light storage by a ceiling opening with a drywall cover, an electrical light with a switch must be installed, and four(4) sheets of 4'x8'x1/2 inch plywood be installed across the ceiling joints at the access opening. A folding ladder or other means as approved by the Director of Community Development shall be installed to provide access to the attic." The Director of Community Development has reviewed the proposed modification and intends to approve it with the condition noted above. Pursuant to resolution No. 88-523 the Director has the authority to approve Minor Modifications. this matter is being presented to the council as a courtesy. In the event the Council wishes to appeal the Director's decision, it may do so. Should the Council desire to appeal, it should set a public hearing date. The next available meeting date would be the Council's regular meeting of September 5, 1990. If the Council takes no action then the Director's decision stands. Recommendation. Receive and file.
