History The Crystal Bay Planned Unit Development (PUD) was approved by the City Council on December 1, 2003. The approved PUD Plan included 24 townhouse units in 12 buildings. The proposed townhouses were a 3-story walkout, attached single family style dwelling with an attached garage. Each of the units in these buildings included a 3-car garage, rear yard decks, and approximately 4,610 square feet of floor area. The buildings are 34’ high at the front, with exteriors consisting of a combination of brick and stucco. In October of 2004, the City Council granted a minor amendment to the origi- nally approved PUD. The proposed amendment affected the style, size and ex- terior elevations of the townhouse units. The 3-story walkout buildings were re- placed with a rambler style unit, with a 3-car attached garage, a rear yard deck and a four season porch. The exterior of the building consisted of Hardie Board siding and shakes, rather than stucco and brick. The ground floor area of the units remained approximately the same, and the units fit into the existing enve- lope lots. In 2008, 2012, & 2014, and 2015 the City Council granted other amendments to the PUD which allowed for the remaining residential lots to change construction styles between detached single-family units and attached twin-home units. These two units are the last of four to be constructed within the Crystal Bay PUD; the final two units may not actually be constructed. Current Circumstances The current request involves a minor amendment to redesign two twin-home units near County Hwy. 82 from a 3-car garage style to an oversized 2-car gar- age style. These are the last two lots in the PUD. The proposed impervious sur- face amounts for the area would be lowered by over 200 square feet; the exact impervious surface square footage will be reviewed for compliance with these newly proposed amounts with each individual building permit. 2 Subsection 1106.607 of the Zoning Ordinance allows the City Council to ap- prove minor amendments to an approved PUD Plan by resolution following noti- fication of all owners of property within the PUD. Minor amendments include “changes that increase conformity with Ordinance requirements; decreases in residential density, leasable floor area, building height, impervious surface and/or required parking provided such decreases have a minimal impact on the overall character of the approved Final PUD Plan as determined by the Zoning Administrator; minor building additions and floor plan modifications that do not increase parking requirements or reduce useable open space; and changes that are specified as minor amendments in the approved Development Contract.” The main issue is whether or not the proposed amendment will change the character of the PUD. The proposed amendment decreases the amount of im- pervious surface. It should also be noted that the proposed single-family homes will contain the same design, color palette, materials, and scale, with the excep- tion of having space between the individual units. The spacing between the proposed single-family homes will have over a 10-foot separation. No public hearing is required for a minor amendment; however, the City did no- tify by mail this proposed change of the building plans to each resident in Crys- tal Bay. They were notified of the City Council’s review process. Conclusion City staff believes the overall townhome’s design will be maintained through similar color palette, materials, and scale, with the exception of the garage de- sign. These two units are located near the Drake Circle and Hwy 82 intersec- tion and not near the other units near the lake. No other changes to the ap- proved PUD Plan are proposed which would impact streets, utilities, number of lots, or impervious surface. Therefore, City staff recommends approval of the PUD Amendment subject to the following conditions of approval: 1. The developer must obtain the required permits from any other state or local agency prior to any work on the site. 2. Heating and cooling units may encroach into the required side yard setbacks and building separation. ISSUES: FINANCIAL IM- PACT: City staff has requested review and approval by the Crystal Bay HOA in rela- tionship to the proposed PUD amendment; an approval letter is provided as an attachment. There is no known financial impact to the City related to this proposed PUD amendment; the market value change from 3 to 2-car garages, if any, would likely be negligible. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Motion and a second as part of the consent agenda to approve a resolution approving a minor amendment to the Final PUD Plan for Crystal Bay Town- homes, subject to the listed conditions. 2. Motion and a second to remove this item from the consent agenda for addi- tional discussion. 3 RECOMMENDED MOTION: Alternative #1 ATTACHMENTS: 1. Location Map 2.
