Commercial Day Care facilities are also being added to the ADC.
Discussion: Commissioner Green asked if §7.24.060(c)(2)(ii), ADC, was discussed during
the previous meetings, as it would require outdoor play areas to be set back further than any
prescribed setback — regardless of whether it was front, side, or rear setback. Mr. Green
wanted to know if this section negotiable.
Sally Vecchio stated that this Section would be non-negotiable as a code requirement and
the applicant would need to prove a hardship to be granted a variance.
Commissioner Losa questioned when the height of a fence becomes a 'structure'? Staff
responded that the code does not consider a fence as a structure.
After a discussion, the Commissioners agreed with Commissioner Green that the fence
setback section should be removed as it is redundant.
Commissioner Green suggested different wording for section (3)(i), adding that it should
read 'assure'. Others were in agreement.
The Public Comment period was opened and closed with no public comments.
Action: Commissioner Struve moved to approve Resolution 12-01 with the recommended
changes:
t 1. Remove "by a fence which allows air and light to penetrate it" from section
7.24.060(c)(2)(A)(i);
2. Remove section 7.24.060(c)(2)(A)(ii); and,

finished in stucco with wood siding accents. The proposed residences will be located on the
same lot and accessed off the same drive as seven (7) other constructed, partially
constructed, or approved but yet to be constructed single-family residence.
Discussion: Jared Barnes presented the design as it related to the Development Code. The
AEC application was explained and the request for a 2:12 pitch (4:12 required) to the shed

Michael Pukas presented the challenges of the site and steepness of existing topography.
Commissioners questioned the 2:12 pitch as well as the parking adjacent to the emergency
turnaround.
Action: Commissioner Struve moved to approve the Major Design and Development Plan, as
well as the Alternative Equivalent Compliance for Wildstar #4 as submitted. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Clancy. All in Commissioners were in favor and the motion
passed unanimously.
VIII. Other Business
• Table 7.24-1: Table of Allowed Uses
Discussion: Sally Vecchio explained that the council initiation for the Child Care in the IC
was out of the scope of opening the Table of Allowed Uses. Council had not initiated this
review and it is not in the current Community Development work program.
Commissioner Minervini brought up whether or not the Planning Commission should
rescind the Resolution that was approved. The consensus was to leave the resolution
alone as all were in agreement that it captured the Commission's recommendation
clearly, however, it did not address the concerns with other IC uses that could locate
near a Child Care Center. It was agreed to revisit the table of allowed uses.
IX. Adjourn
