spaces per unit of which two spaces shall be in
a garage or carport.
(e) Four (4) or more bedrooms: 2.3 off-street
parking spaces per unit of which two spaces
shall be in a garage or carport.
(f) In addition to the required number of parking
spaces for each unit, one off-street uncovered
parking space shall be provided for each four
units for visitor parking. For single family
zero lot line, patio homes, and duplexes, on-
street parking may be substituted for visitor
parking, where sufficient street pavement width
and distance between driveways has been
provided.
(g) Fifty percent (50%) of the total required

up to thirty-five percent (35%) of the required

C. Section 17.08.040 C.4 shall be amended with the following

and convenience of use should be prime
characteristics of parking area design as
implemented by the following:

o Parking areas (open and covered) shall be
designed to provide parking spaces
conveniently located to the units they are
intended to serve.
o Long, unbroken lines of opposing
garages/carports on each side of a drive
aisle should be avoided. This type of
design results in a °constructed alley°
atmosphere.
o Free standing garages/carports should be
located not to disrupt the primary view of
residential structures.
o Views to landscaped areas should be
maintained at the ends of drive aisles.
Vistas should not be obscured by facing
garages or carports.
o Planter breaks and special 1paving should be
included along the parking aisles. These
features add interesting patterns to the
driveway/parking area rhythm.
o In order to open up more of the parking area
to adjacent landscaped areas and reduce the
°alley° effect along the drive aisle, offset
facing garages/carports are encouraged on
lengthy drive aisles.
(b) Architecture: Garage and carport structures
should exhibit designs which are compatible,
supportive and fully integrated into the overall
architectural theme as implemented through the
following provisions:
o Long structures present difficulties in
keeping proportions appropriate with the
original design intent on the main
structures and therefore the garage/carport
structures should be limited to 8-12 cars.
o Recognize garage doors as an element of
design rhythm and use to create varying
patterns. Extensive use of single width
garage doors should be avoided. The
perception of increased density can result
from a parking area with large numbers of
garage doors. An overly repetitious pattern
of doors can be monotonous and should be
avoided.
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.

o °Flimsy°, °stick-like" carport designs which
portray and add-on, non-permanent perception
are not desirable characteristics of a
parking area. Substantial design elements
should be integrated into the structure to
convey a more permanent concept for the
carports.
o Storage units should be designed as an
integral part of the carport structure.
C. Section 17.08.040 B - Minimum Dwelling Units Size shall be
amended to read as follows:
VL L LM
Single family detached 1,000 sq.ft.* 1,000 sq.ft.* 1,000 sq.ft.*

*A single family detached dwelling less than 1,000 sq.ft. will
require the approval of a Conditional Use Permit per Section
17.04.030.
D. Section 17.08.040 C - Minimum Dwelling Units Size shall be
amended as follows:
L LM M
Single family detached 1,000 sq.ft.* 1,000 sq.ft.* 1,000 sq.ft.*
dwellings only
*A single family detached dwelling less than 1,000 sq.ft. will
require the approval of a Conditional Use Permit per Section
17.04.030.
2. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City
Council approve and adopt Development District Amendment
87-02.
3. That a certified copy of this Resolution and related
material hereby adopted by the Planning Commission shall
be forwarded to the City Council .
