PUBLIC HEARING - This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Hyde re- CONSIDERATION OF TENTA- opened the public hearing. TIVE SUBDIVISION MAP OF VISTA TOWERS (Continued Director of Planning Peterson referred to his written report from 12/S/78 meeting) to Council explaining that the applicant has submitted a tentative subdivision map for the conversion of an existing S9-unit apartment complex into a one-lot condominium project at 415 "D" Street in the R-3 zone. Planning Commission In his report, Director of Planning Peterson noted the site recommendation characteristics of the project, the development under the R-3 regulations and that of the newly-adopted condominium: regulations. The Planning Commission recommended denial based on the fact that the development does not comply with present density regulations and the applicant did not provide sufficient information to determine whether or not the de- velopment complies with the recently adopted standards for condominiums; the staff concurs with this reconunendation. The problems concern the density requirement and storage area. Since the report was submitted, the applicant has pro- posed complying with the storage area requirement by building a second story addition to the recreational facility. Mr. Peterson stated he would still recommend denial since this proposal would be a very bad design solut'ion. Dick Kau Mr. Kau said he was representing the applicant and explained 2203 Acacia Avenue that they are trying to provide some "purchasable" housing. Bonita The applicant will not evict any tenants - the apartments will be converted only when the tenants move or decide to purchase their units. They feel that building the storage area over the recreational facility would not be that "de- grading" and would meet the requirements of the Code. Public hearing closed There being no further comments, either for or against;the hearing was declared closed. Council comments Councilman Scott indicated that the denial of the Planning Director based upon the design of the building was not a reasonable one and perhaps the Council should take another look at the ordinance particularly at the requirement for the storage areas. Mayor Hyde expressed his concern regard- ing the density - six units more than allowed in the R-3 zone. Mr. Kau stated that the applicant would be willing to convert some of the one-bedroom units into storage areas in order to comply with the density requirement. Motion to continue It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Mayor Hyde and unanimously carried by those present that this be continued for four weeks and referred back to the staff to meet with the applicant to come up with alternatives that would meet the requirements of the ordinance. 6.
