He stated the street improvements will affect the homes across the street and affect the site’s parking requirements.

ATTACHMENT B REPORT OF PLANNING HEARING OFFICER ACTION Byron Easton, Planner III, Hearing Officer Teresa Garcia, Planner I, Assisting June 12, 2024 Planning Hearing Officer Summary of June 12, 2024 Application PHO-1-24—Z-22-23-4 (Continued from May 15, 2024) Page 2 Byron Easton, Planning Hearing Officer, stated he is aware of the conversations and had the comments in front of him. Mr. Easton asked Mr. Owens if they planned on expanding the existing building on the site. Mr. Owens stated they were not going to expand the existing building but add some storage containers that will act as a bar and kitchen. He stated the parking requirements was an accumulated parking analysis including the expansions, outdoor dining, and recreation area. Mr. Easton stated the SRP landscaping requirement is an offsite landscape requirement and does not count towards their landscape requirement for the site. He asked Mr. Owens to clarify the total amount and location of all landscaping indicated on the site plan. Mr. Owens stated the P-1 zoned property does not have any landscaping requirements although there is conflict withing the Zoning Ordinance, indicating it states no landscape requirement is required and other says a 15-foot minimum Is required, causing confusion. Mr. Easton asked if they are willing to provide the 10-foot landscaping from the property line on the south side of the site. Mr. Owens stated yes it can be provided. Mr. Easton stated for the record the applicant will adhere to the site plan indicating the 10-foot landscape setback along the southeast corner of the site. He recommended approval to Request 1 as the applicant confirmed that 650 square foot perimeter landscape is shown on the site plan. He recommended approval to Request 2 as the Streets Department is amendable to removing Stipulation 18. FINDINGS: 1) The request to modify Stipulation 16 regarding the landscape setback is approved with a modification to delete the stipulation in its entirety. The abundance of landscaping on the site due to adjacent SRP canal landscape requirements, the 22’ landscape buffer from the paved canal path and the extensive perimeter landscape setbacks properly mitigates the impact of this proposed development as shown on the Site Plan date stamped March 18, 2024. To avoid conflict with Stipulation 17, I am supporting the removal of this stipulation only if the applicant is providing the landscaping as shown on the Site Plan. The applicant has ensured that the landscaping will be provided both verbally, during the hearing and via the submitted Site Plan date stamped March 18, 2024. 2) The request to delete Stipulation is approved. The Street Transportation Department is amenable to remove Stipulation #18 and allow the Planning Hearing Officer Summary of June 12, 2024 Application PHO-1-24—Z-22-23-4 (Continued from May 15, 2024) Page 3 requirement established by city code Article III, Section 32-27(A)(3) pertaining to the termination of dead-end roads, to be enforced through the site planning process.
