APPROVAL OF AUGUST 13, 1997 MINUTES Approved as submitted. 3. PRESENTATIONS None 4. PUBLIC STATEMENTS None 5. DEFERRED BUSINESS A. UTILITY STREET CUT PERMITS Staff gave a report on the proposal for issuing street cut permits to reduce the frequent cutting of City streets by various utilities. The proposal includes requiring a warranty of work from franchise holders or charging a performance fee equal to the cost of repaving the patch area if the street patch fails. The City will institute a street cut moratorium after streets have been repaved. An infrastructure planning committee has DRAFT URBAN DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT Wednesday, September 17, 1997 Page -2- been formed between representatives of the city and utilities, to plan and coordinate projects requiring street cuts and repaving projects. Finally, the length of street that can be opened at one time is limited to 1,200 feet which is the minimum necessary for effective work by utilities. Representatives of the utilities were in attendance and supported the proposal. The Committee voted unanimously to recommend the item to the Council for adoption, with Councilmember Pat Smith absent B, PARK DEVELOPMENT FEES Staff presented the final draft of the proposed Park Development Fee which changes the standard park on which the fee is calculated from a 6 acre park to a 10 acre park. The fee calculation method is also changed from a graduated scale based on the average number of residents for different types of dwelling units to a fiat fee based on a single weighted average of residents per dwelling unit. The new method takes the park costs per person and multiplies it times the weighted average persons per dwelling unit to come up with a single fiat fee. This resulted in a decrease in the fee for single family units and an increase in the fee for multi-family and mobile home units. The BIA indicated that it did not support the fiat fee because it penalized multi-family developers by increasing the cost to build this type of housing. The Committee asked if we could give a higher fee credit as greater incentive to developers to address the recreation and park needs of their development on site, in order to offset the increased fee. Staff indicated that the City currently gives 7/10 of an acre credit for land used within the multi-family development to address recreation needs. The Committee asked staff to look at increasing the credit. This will be discussed at the next Urban Development meeting. The Park Development Fee proposal was unanimously recommended by the Committee to the City Council for approval, with Councilmember Pat Smith absent. 6. NEW BUSINESS A. METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION INVESTMENT STRATEGY (MTIS) A representative of Barton-Aschman Associates, the consulting firm hired to develop the MTIS, gave a presentation on the draft action plan. The plan prioritizes both funded and unfunded surface transportation projects in the metropolitan area. The highest priority unfunded project is the Crosstown Freeway. The consultant indicated that a comprehensive study like the MTIS may help in procuring federal funding for this and other identified projects. The plan will be updated on an annual basis to reflect changes in funding and priority. The Committee felt that air transportation should be addressed in future updates. Staff expressed ongoing concern that the County has DRAFT URBAN DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT Wednesday, September 17, 1997 Page -3- refused to contribute to the funding of the grade separation for the Kern River Freeway project, which could jeopardize the state funding. Staff will continue to update the Committee on the ongoing development of the Kern River Freeway funding. The MTIS will be discussed at an upcoming Council Workshop. B. 24TM AND BEECH TRAFFIC SIGNAL The City's Traffic Engineer has studied this intersection at the request of residents in the area. Staff does not recommend closure of Beech onto 24th as requested by residents, due to the anticipated increase of traffic onto neighboring streets that would result. In addition, staff has concerns about the traffic circulation impacts that would result from a traffic signal. Design of a traffic signal at that location is budgeted in the FY 97-98 CIP. Staff will continue to study this issue and bring other possible solutions back to the Committee for discussion at a later date. 7. ADJOURNMENT Adjourned at 1:43 p.m. cc: Honorable Mayor and City Council DBT:jp MEMORANDUM October 7, 1997 TO: CITY COUNCIL URBAN DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE FROM: STANLEY GRADY, PLANNING DIRECTOR SUBJECT: PLANNING COMMISSION SUBDIVISION & PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE RESPONSE TO REFERRAL REGARDING SMALL APARTMENT PROJECTS The committee believes that there is a lack of architectural diversity in many of the small apartment projects. Building height, bulk and facades are the same throughout the projects and there is too much hardscape in the projects because concrete pavement between structures dominates the landscape and tree specimens used in landscaping are too small. The Planning Commission Subdivision and Public Services Committee recommends development standards which promote visual diversity through architectural variation, setback staggering and landscape enhancement. Three options would be available to applicants. The Planning Commission committee arrived at these options after review of existing development standards and a mobile committee meeting in August of 1996 with City staff and representatives from the Building Industry Association (BIA). During the field visits to various four-plex development projects, Commissioner concerns focused on the need for architectural diversity, spatial diversity, increased landscaping and the screening of utility meters and mechanical equipment (air conditioners). The options are as follows: Option_A 1) When five or more adjacent lots exist for the purpose of providing multiple family housing, every third lot shall have a minimum front yard setback of 25 feet. 2) No more than two adjacent lots shall be occupied with multiple family structures having identical wall and roof lines on the street side elevations(s). 3) No more than two adjacent multiple family dwelling units shall have identical wall and rooflines. In the alternative, in addition to required landscaping, the developer shall provide one, 24" box size tree in front of each dwelling unit. 4) In addition to the landscaping required in the City's site plan review ordinance, every multiple family dwelling project shall include one "fast-growing" (begins to assume its mature landscape form in 1-4 years) 24" box tree within the front yard setback for every 50 feet of linear lot frontage (or portion thereof). 5) All mechanical equipment, whether on the roof or ground shall be screened from view from the street. Utility meters and equiPment must be placed in locations which are not exposed to view from the street or must be architecturally screened from view from the street. Urban Development Committee October 7, 1997 Page 2 _Qpt~on_B 1) Dwelling units subject to the front yard setback shall be designed so that the units front elevation and primary pedestrian entrance face the street. The garage for such a unit need not face the street. 2) No more than two adjacent lots shall be occupied with multiple family structures · having identical wall and roof lines on the street side elevation(s). 3) In addition to the landscaping required in the City's site plan review ordinance, every multiple family dwelling project shall include one "fast-growing" (begins to assume its mature landscape form in 1-4 years) 24" box tree within the front yard setback for every 50 feet of linear lot frontage (or portion thereof). 4) All mechanical equipment, whether on the roof or ground shall be screened from view from the street. Utility meters and equipment must be placed in locations which are not exposed to view from the street or must be architecturally screened from view from the street. Op_ti_on_C 1) Submission of development plans to the Planning Commission through the Planning Director for review and approval of architecture and site layout on a parcel-by-parcel basis or at the tentative tract stage. Plans shall adhere to city site plan review and ordinance design standards and be designed to meet the intent of this resolution and specifically address setbacks, architectural diversity, landscaping and shielding of mechanical equipment and utilities. Options A and B provide development standards for staggered front yard setbacks, variation in roof lines, increased landscaping and screening of mechanical equipment. These standards would be implemented and enforced during the normal site plan review process. No delays in permit processing would result from selection of Options A or B. Selection by the applicant of Option C would require review and approval of site plans and elevations at an advertised public headng by the Planning Commission at the tentative tract stage or on a parcel-by-parcel basis. A fee of $330 (current fee) would be charged to process such plans through the Commission. SG:pjt m\mudc8-27 ..SEP-24-97 WED 12:11 laEILL SBL)L; ~RX NU. ~Ub~'Zbt~U~ r.u~ Tree. Foundation .' 0f.
