ENGINEERING COMMENTS:
(a) General alignment of Mara Lynn is acceptable; however,
it is requested that the intersection with Mara Lynn
and Napa Valley at the curb be coordinated with the
City Engineer.
(b) Improve Mara Lynn to minor arterial standards;
coordinate intersection of proposed Bowman Road and the
portion of Mara Lynn from the east, with Ed Smith and
Associates and the City Engineers.
(c) Request clarification of alignment*on new section of
Mara Lynn and Napa Valley. Inform City whether or not
it would tie to the current Napa Valley right-of-way.
ANAT.VRTA,
Staff is basically supportive of the site plan submitted,
though approval of this plan will not necessarily commit to
a number of driveways shown on the plan. These will be
detailed specifically when plans for the roads are
finalized. The applicant should provide a 40' buffer and a
fence adjacent to Woodland Hills. A 35' building line
should be provided on both streets because they are minor
arterials. Staff is not supportive of the applicant's
/I I October 11, 1983

Item No. 6 - Continued
request to use the density of the right-of-way for
development of the property. It is okay for the applicant
to use the density for the smaller tract if it is downzoned
to "OS." The applicant should submit the exact height of
the building since there is a 35' height limitation in
"MF-18" zoning districts.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approval, subject to comments made.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW:
The applicant was present. He agreed to comply with most of
staff's recommendations; but still requested use of the
right-of-way in the calculation of density for the entire
project. He felt that this position is supported by the
Ordinance's definition of gross acreage, which is defined as
_the "total acreage of the proposed development including
areas designated for internal streets and other proposed
facilities." The Subdivision Committee directed the staff
to seek a legal opinion by the October llth meeting relative
to this question.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The applicant was present. There were no objectors. Staff
reported that the City Attorney agreed with the applicant's
analysis of the "gross acreage" definition. The Planning
Director expressed concern that the ordinance would support
the use of land to be dedicated to the public in the
calculation of density for a private development. The
appllicant showed the Commission a revised site plan
indicating the correct setbacks and showing permanent drives
on the plan. Staff requested that he submit three copies of
the plan. A motion was made and passed, subject to:
(1) Closure of dead-man's curve right-of-way.
(2) Downzoning the smaller tract to "OS."
(3) 40' buffer and 6' fence adjacent to Woodland Hills.
(4) Submission of three copies of the revised site plan.
(5) Height limitation of 351.
The motion passed by a vote of 10 ayes, 0 noes, 0 absent and
1 abstention (Commissioner Rector). The motion was later
modified giving staff the authority to prepare the
appropriate amendment for changing the gross acreage
definition in the.Zoning Ordinance.
