Bragdon, ,� _ __1 FROM: Director of Community Development Cqi a October 6 , 1987 Costa DATE: coirty Appeal of Tam Investments Co. , of Conditions of App for SUBJECT: Development Plan #3053-87 & Subdivision 7008 on Olympic Boulevard in the Walnut Creek Area. (S.D.III ) SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION REQUEST This is an appeal concerning Development Plan 3053-87 and Tenta- tive Map for Subdivision 7008 filed by the applicant/owner Tam Investment Co. , Inc. of the Planning Commission' s action reducing the number of . proposed residential units from 109 to 95 and restriction of building heights and locations as would otherwise be required by the Multiple Residential District (M-17 ) . RECOMMENDATION Deny the appeal filed by Tam Investments Co. with respect to the number of residential units (Condition #1) and building setback, separation and height (Condition #1 A, B, C) of Development Plan #3053-87 and the tentative map for Subdivision #7008. Alternative Grant the appeal as requested or as may be modified of Tam Investments Co. with respect to the number of residential units (Condition #1) and building setback, separation and height (Condition #1 A, B, C) of Development Plan #3053-87 and the tentative map for Subdivision #7008 . BACKGROUND The area of this proposal was part of a larger development zoned Planned Unit District (P-1) in 1984 for 145 residential units on 8+ acres, consisting of two adjacent 4+ acre parcels which also includes the area of the Las Trampas Creek Channel. ( 2602-RZ, 3029-84, SUB 6518, SUB 6530) Phase I of that approval with 58 residential units on 4+ acres has been completed and is substantially occupied under Subdivision 6518. Phase II which is the area of current appli- cations, was approved for 87 residential units on about 4. acres under Subdivision 6530 and has not been constructed. The widening and improvements for Olympic Boulevard have been completed along the entire frontage for both phases . In the current proposal to increase the number of units from 87 to 109 it is the applicant ' s contention that since there would be no substantial increase in the number of bedrooms, the project' s population would not exceed that of previous approvals and would, therefore, not increase traffic or require additional parking. Residential condominium projects requires and typically provides for more tan two parking spaces per unit. The proposal for 109 units indicates a parking ratio of 1.4 parking spaces per unit. This is inadequate for present needs and possible more so for future needs. The lack of sufficient parking, non-compliance with the dimensional requirements such as the distances for setbacks and building separations and no provision for varied building height transition to Olympic Boulevard, and the further constraints of Las Trampas Creek Channel reducing the buildable area, indicates an over-building of the site. y , CONTINUED ON ATTACHMENT: X YES SIGNATURE: RECOMMENDATION OF COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR RECOMMENDATION OF BOARD COMMITTE APPROVE OTHER SIGNATUREISI: - 1 . - rnV ACTION OFF ,130ARD ON December 1 . 1987 APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED OTHER X On November 10, 1987 the Board deferred for decision to this date the appeal by Tam Investment Company on the above matter.
