M7PION SECOND D AND CARRIED: Moved by Flihrman, seconded by Rydell and passed unanimously by all matters present to appoint Elizabeth Bertram and Ruth Bunman to the Safety Committee for two year terms. C. SPECIAL ORDERS: 1. Consideration of proposed height and bulk guidelines for urgency Ordinance #300 of the City of the Town of Ins Altos Hills adopting as an urgency matter the second extension of Ordinance #292 as previously extended by Ordinance #295. The Staff Planner reviewed the formua options for the urgency ordinance guidelines as presented in the City Manager's staff iepirt dated 1/24/86. Both Fbimula 1 and 2 included guidelines for height, maxi,mmt development area and adjusted floor area. Each also included a definition of floor area. Each formula eliminates the site circle slope and is more restrictive from the existing ordinance for non-conforming lots since it eliminates the "Grandfather Clause". The definition of floor area and adjusted floor area for Formula 1 is as follows: The term "Floor Area" shall mean the horizontal area of the several floors of all buildings, including garage space, treasured frau the exterior of the outside walls. That portion of attics, basements and similar areas are considered floor area when the distance frau floor to ceiling is 6 feet or greater. Floor area where the verticle clearance frau floor to ceiling is 16 feet or greater is counted twice. The term "Adjusted Floor Area" shall mean any floor area as defined above. In addition that floor area which overlays any other floor area shall be counted twice. The definition of floor area for Formula 2 is as follows: The term "floor area" shall mean the horizontal area of the several floors of all buildings, including garage space, measured frau the exterior of the outside walls. That portion of attics, basements and similar areas are considered floor area when the distance frau floor to ceiling is 6 feet or greater. Floor area where the verticle clearance frau floor to ceiling is 16 feet or greater is taunted twice. (For reference complete copies of both Formulas are on file at Town Hall.) Loren Nelson, Gerard Development Corporation, commented on the impact each formula would have on two lots they own in Tann. He suggested that both formulas be given more consideration and not acted on by the Council tonight. icen Pastrof, Bob Owen Hares, questioned the 6' attic space in Formula 2 and also �r wondered if this formula would not promote an architectural syle much like business parks. Relative to the properties they owned in Town, they supported Formula 1. -2-
