A RESOLUTION OF THE SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL
DENYING APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION CONDITION
(s) OF TS80-4 (TENTATIVE MAP) FOR THE IRWIN
STREET 13 -UNIT RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT; UPPER
IRWIN STREET AT HAZEL COURT, AP 13-271-29
WHEREAS, on June 28th and November 29, 1983, the
Planning Commission held public hearings to review the final EIR,
zone change and tentative map for the proposed Irwin Street
13 -unit residential development; and
WHEREAS, on November 29, 1983, the Planning Commission
voted (7-0) to recommend that the City Council certify the Final
EIR and adopt a zone change to P -D District. Additionally the
Planning Commission conditionally approved a tentative map with
the following condition (s):
"(s) Buildings should be stepped down the hillside to
minimize grading as well as building mass and bulk. Buildings
shall be designed to a maximum height of 20 feet at any location
from grade. Building design shall be subject to environmental
and design review".
WHEREAS, on December 12, 1983, the applicant appealed
condition (s) of the tentative map approved by the Planning
Commission; and
WHEREAS, on January 16, 1984, the City Council held a
public hearing and reviewed the appeal and made the following
finding:
The twenty foot building height limitation measured
from a parallel line to grade is reasonable and encourages a
building to be designed to step down a hillside. Such a regula-
tion discourages a bulky and boxy building design that is
generally more suitable for flat lot development. However,
additional building heights up to 30' may be allowed provided
that the Planning Commission finds that the building height
would not create an adverse visual impact on the adjacent
properties or the surrounding neighborhood.
f
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the San Rafael
City Council denies the appeal of condition (s) of the approved
TS80-4 (tentative map) for the Irwin Street 13 -unit residential
development, but revises the condition to read:
(s) Buildings should be stepped down the hillside to
minimize grading as well as mass and bulk. Buildings shall be
designed to a maximum height of 20' at any location from grade.
Building heights to 30' may be allowed provided that findings
can be made that the additional height will not have an adverse
visual impact on adjacent properties or the neighborhood.
