The proposal would increase the size <br /> of the property at 26691 Moody Road (Kirk) from 0.34 to 0.54 acres. The <br /> proposal would reduce the size of the property at 26811 Moody Court (Stubbs) <br /> from 0.99 acres to 0.94 acres, which is less than the minimum lot size requirement <br /> per Section 9-1.604. CEQA Review: exempt per 15305 Class 5 (a). (staff-Brian <br /> Froelich) <br /> Brian Froelich, Assistant Planner, presented the staff report explaining the proposed lot line <br /> adjustment involved three properties and two property owners. The two Lands of Kirk lots <br /> would be merged into one and square footage would be transferred from the Lands of Stubbs to <br /> the Lands of Kirk. The Subdivision Ordinance allows the Planning Commission to make <br /> recommendations to the City Council for a conditional exception subject to two findings. The <br /> first finding requires a special circumstance or condition affecting the property. This <br /> requirement was addressed in that the Kirk property is 76 feet deep and with required setbacks <br /> only 6 feet is available for building area. There is a creek on the property which restricted <br /> building area further in terms of required setbacks. The second finding requires any other land <br /> owner not be deprived of reasonable use of their land. The application does not introduce any <br /> non permitted uses to any property and would have no anticipated effect to any other lands. Both <br /> property owners had signed applications. <br /> Commissioner Carey questioned why the Kirk structures were partially located on the Stubbs <br /> property. Brian Froelich explained that the buildings were originally approved by the County in <br />
