Staff Report of Facts and Issues: McCartney presented from Power Point: • This resolution came before the City Council where it was denied. • This is the same request to amend the final PUD to modify the height allowance language on Lots 1 and 2, Block 1 from "1 story with a 26 feet maximum building height" to "1 or 2 stories with a maximum building height of 26 feet, where the second story would only be allowed if the following criteria are met: 1. The proposed principal structure maintains a minimum 3:12 roof pitch 2. The proposed lot coverage shall not exceed 8.5% • Location — West side of McCaslin and south of South Boulder Road. • During annexation, the height was determined to not more than 26 feet for the two lots and one story. At 26 feet, view shed was maintained as much as possible. • PUD uses limited view preservation tools: o 26 foot height limit o 1 Story o A 10% lot coverage (Lot is 98,000 sf) • No minimum roof pitch • No unique setback requirements • Approved landscape plan will eventually block the view • Staff observations: o The allowed 26 foot, one story, structure will limit the existing unencumbered view. o A 26 -foot, two story, structure will not worsen the impact on the view shed beyond what is allowed. o A two story structure within the allowed 26 -feet would likely minimize view impacts by allowing a smaller building foot print (lot coverage).
