ZONE: R-3 BACKGROUND: Development plans for the subject property were originally approved in 1978 and again in 1980. The 1980 conditional use permit was allowed to expire and was renewed again in 1982 and that approval has been granted time extensions by planning commission. DISCUSSION: At this time the applicant has changed his site plan and the elevations The former site plan had six 2 car garages along the east property line with access from the alley and four other garages on the site accessed from Las Palmas. The former elevations were contemporary in style with flat roofs. The new site plan provides six 2 car garages in the area adjacent to Las Palmas and four 2 car garages with a driveway access from the alley. In this new site plan none of the garage spaces backs onto a public street or alley. The new elevations reflect a spanish style of architecture. The two story structures will be finished in stucco with a tile roof. The exposed outriggers will be finished in oxford brown. The garages will also be finished with tile roof. The new site plan indicates areas for landscape treatment, but does not indicate materials or sizes to be installed. The site is to be enclosed by a masonry wall which will be covered with stucco to match the buildings. RECOMMENDATION: That the commission review the proposed revised plans for a 10 unit residential condominium development at the northeast corner of San Gorgonio and Las Palmas, Case 127 MF (Amendment) and determine acceptability.
