The property is currently zoned as Planned Development Single Family Residential. The Public Hearing was opened at 7:06 p.m. Mr. Schwanke gave a presentation and answered questions from the Commission. He noted that in October of 2012 the City Council passed an ordinance concerning residential building standards. One of the provisions goals was to eliminate snoot/garage construction where the garage sticks out 15' to 20' in front of the remainder of the structure so that when you drive by all you saw was the garage. Bloomfield homes has a home model called "Bluebonnet" which front elevation sets back 3 feet further than the 10 foot allowed. The front of the building is covered by an integrated front porch that serves as an outdoor living area and does not give the appearance that the garage is the dominant element on the lot. The areas in the request are areas that the Bluebonnet model could be used, however, the units cannot be placed side by side or across the street from each other but must be used within the parameters of the existing non repetitive standards, therefore, the staff is recommending approval of this Specific Use Permit. Tim Stewart, representative for Bloomfield Homes was present, and gave a brief presentation and answered questions from the Commission.
