OLD BUSINESS 4.1 ESTATE HOMES ORDINANCE-Proposed ordinance recommended by the Ad Hoc Planning Committee defines "estate homes" and addresses the calculation of floor area, setbacks, and the approval process for estate homes. (staff-Brian Froelich) Brian Froelich, Assistant Planner stated in the staff report that the Ad Hoc Planning Committee had worked on the Estate Homes Ordinance for several months. At the May 4`h Planning Commission meeting the item had been reviewed and discussed. The Commission then requested Staff to meet with the Ad Hoc Committee and return at a future meeting. Mr. Froelich gave a brief summary of the Ordinance and explained the Estate Home definition as any primary dwelling totaling 10,000 square feet or more. Homes with any square footage over the 10,000 square foot measurement would have that amount counted twice in the MFA. Estate Homes would not be eligible for the Fast Track process and would come before the Planning Commission. Specific findings would be required for approval and additional setbacks necessary depending on the size of the house. Staff is requesting clarification on the topics of whether Estate Homes should be10,000 square feet or 12,000 square feet in size and if Estate Homes should have greater setbacks. Direction is requested so the Estate Homes Ordinance can be completed by staff,returned to Planning Commission and then forwarded to City Council. Commissioner Clow explained the differences in the two charts relating to Estate Home setbacks. The first chart applies incremental setbacks according to the height and the size of the home and the second chart creates a standard setback for Estate Homes. Debbie Pedro PlanningDirector, stated that the Planning Commission has the authority to g Y require additional setbacks and Estate Homes would automatically be reviewed by the Commission and not qualify for the Fast Track process. This creates an opportunity for requirement of additional setbacks for an Estate Home. Chairman Collins requested Commission input on the question of the 10,000 square foot or 12,000 square foot designation for Estate Home size. Ms. Collins established that the Planning Commissioners agreed that the 10,000 square feet definition was appropriate.
