ANALYSIS: The applicant submitted a revised site plan to staff addressing most of the issues raised at the September 6, 2007, Subdivision Committee meeting. The applicant has removed from the request the reduction of the rear access and utility easement leaving the area at the 20 -foot as was approved in the original Planned Residential Development request. The previous approval for Lot 2 allowed a building envelope of 119 feet by 37.69 feet. The requested revision is to allow the placement of a pool within the courtyard area of 614 Rock Street, allow a stairway to exit from the garage apartment along the northern property line within the previously approved setback and to allow a small sign within the front yard area of Lot 2. The pool is proposed within the previously approved building envelope. The pool is proposed not to exceed 20 -feet by 22 -feet. The site plan indicates the pool will be constructed between the rear of the proposed home and the detached garage. A six foot fence will be placed along the northern and southern property lines as was previously approved. The stair is proposed to access the garage/apartment along the northern perimeter and be placed two to three feet from the property line. The stair will be constructed to meet all requirements of the building codes including a fire rated wall along the north side of the stairs. A sign is proposed within the front yard area of the home. The sign will be constructed within the design guidelines of the MacArthur Park Historic District and require approval by the MacArthur Park Historic Commission prior to installation. The home is proposed as a one and a half story home with approximately 3,000 square feet. The home will maintain the previously approved detached garage with a covered walkway/breezeway to the home. The garage was approved with a second story apartment containing 900 square feet. The construction materials proposed are the same as the materials previously approved. The maximum building height proposed is less than building heights typically allowed in single-family zones with a maximum height of 30 -feet. Staff is supportive of the request. The applicant is seeking to place a pool within the courtyard area of the proposed new single-family home. The pool is proposed within the previously approved building envelope and does not encroach into the previously approved setbacks. In addition staff does not feel the placement of a small sign within the front yard area consistent with signage allowed in the MacArthur Park Historic District will significantly impact the area. The placement of the stairwell to access the garage apartment along the northern perimeter should have minimal impact on the area. The use to the north of the site is a non-residential use and is operated 24 -hours per day. Staff does 5 FILE NO.: Z -7879-B (Cont. not feel the placement of stairs adjacent to this use will significantly impact the development or the area.
