I. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Design Review Board ADOPT Resolution No. 022, recommending APPROVAL of RP 83-6, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant is requesting approval to convert an existing single-family residence to a Psoriasis Treatment Center, located as describe above. The project site is a .44 acre parcel developed with an existing 1400 sq. ft. residence and a detached garage structure. Access would be derived from Jefferson Street. III. ANALYSIS Planning Issues 1) Is the project consistent with the goals and objectives of the Village Design Manual? 2) Does the project conform with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance? Discussion The applicant is requesting approval of a Redevelopment Permit to convert an existing 1400 sq. ft. residence to a Psoriasis Treatment Center. The project would include new facade treatment, driveway improvements and construction of a parking lot. The project site is within Sub-area 6 of the Village Redevelopment Area. The goal for Sub-area 6 is to maintain its existing character of maximizing the office and professional buffer zone around the sub-area. This sub-area incorporates a mixture of residential and office/professional uses. Staff believes that the proposed project would be consistent with these goals. The Center would have the general appearance of a residence with a landscaped front yard setback and parking in the rear, thus being compatible with adjoining residential uses. Medical offices, without labs, are specifically encouraged within the sub-area. The proposed project, as conditioned, would conform to all requirements of the underlying R-P (Residential-Professional) zone. All required setbacks would be met. Seven parking spaces would be located in the rear yard, providing the required ratio of one space per 200 sq. ft. of gross floor area. Staff is recommending, as a condition of approval, that spaces 1 and 2 be increased to full-size parking stalls. Adequate area exists to accomodate these parking spaces at full-size dimensions. Staff believes that their enlargement is a preferable alternative to granting credit for the compact spaces. Staff is also recommending a condition of approval that would require construction of a solid masonry wall, six feet in height, along the side and rear property lines. This condition would satisfy zoning requirements pertaining to parking lots and non-residential uses in the R-P zone. Overall, staff believes that the project, as conditioned, is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Village Design Manual, conforms to the requirements of the R-P zone and would be an attractive addition to the area. ARCHITECTURE/DESIGN The proposed conversion would include facade treatment to the existing structure and construction of a new porch. The applicant proposes new wood siding and fascia in tan and earth tones. Green accents would be used on the trim. Staff believes that the conversion package would be compatible with surrounding architecture and neighboring residential uses. IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Land Use Planning Manager has determined that this project is categorically exempt from environmental review per Section 19.04.070(9) and, therefore, issued a Notice of Exemption on May 2, 1983.
