converting a trail Holleran refers to as the City's EWEB Recreation Trail to a wide road. Staff <br />provided a follow-up email offering to explain the current application and process, no response <br />was received. As far as the trail Holleran refers to as the City's EWEB Recreation Trail goes, staff <br />believes this trail currently sits in the Spring Boulevard right-of-way, which the applicant has <br />proposed to improve. While the trail will no longer be dirt, sidewalks will exist which will allow <br />continued public access to the Ribbon Trail which appears to be the concern of Holleran. <br />The Planning Division also provided information concerning the application to other appropriate <br />City departments, public agencies, service providers, and the affected neighborhood group. All <br />referral comments received by the Planning Division on this application are included in the <br />application file for reference, and addressed in the context of the applicable approval criteria and <br />standards in the following evaluation. <br />Evaluation <br />The Planning Director shall approve, conditionally approve, or deny the tentative partition <br />application based on compliance with the listed criteria (see EC 9.8215). Those criteria are <br />provided below (in bold), including findings addressing compliance with each. <br />EC 9.8215(1): <br />The proposed partition complies with all of the following, unless specifically exempt from <br />compliance through a code provision applicable to a special area zone or overlay zone: <br />(a) Lot standards of EC 9.2000 through EC 9.3980 regarding applicable parcel dimensions <br />and density requirements. Within the /WR Water Resources Conservation Overlay <br />Zone or the /WQ Water Quality Overlay Zone, no new lot may be created if more <br />than 33% of the lot, as created, would be occupied by either: <br />1. The combined area of the /WR conservation setback and any portion of the <br />Goal 5 Water Resource Site that extends landward beyond the conservation <br />setback; or <br />2. The /WQ Management Area. <br />In regards to lot standards, EC Table 9.2760 Residential Zone Lot Standards prescribes a lot area <br />minimum of 4,500 square feet, a maximum of 13,500 square feet, a minimum interior lot frontage <br />of 50 feet, and a minimum lot width of 50 feet for the R-1 zone. The proposed parcels meet these <br />standards as evidenced by the plan sheet dated July 12, 2017, and with the exception to maximum <br />lot size granted by this decision at EC 9.8215(6). <br />In regards to density, EC Table 9.2750 Residential Zone Development Standards prescribes a <br />maximum net density of 14 units per acre for the R-1 zone. The subject property is 71,934 square <br />feet in size, with two proposed parcels the partition will have a density of approximately 1.2, <br />which is well below the maximum of 14 units per acre. <br />No portion of the site is occupied by the /WR Water Resource Conservation Overlay, or /WQ <br />Water Quality Overlay Zone. <br />Based on the above findings and future permits, EC 9.8215(1) is met. <br />Furtick Partition (PT 17-7) August 2017 <br />
