City Council Meeting November 7, 2016 Consideration of a Call for Review Conditional Use Permit #6479 880 La Loma Road Good evening Chair and members of the Planning Commission. The presentation before you tonight is a strategy and work plan on how to address the issue of neighborhood compatibility of newer single-family homes and major additions. City Council Meeting November 7, 2016

Call for Review Before the City Council is a request for a call for review of a decision made by the Hearing Officer. If the Council decides to Call for Review, a hearing will be scheduled before the Board of Zoning Appeals. As property values increase, the likelihood of original, modest-sized homes being replaced with larger structures also increase. New single-family development and large second-story additions that are built out to required setbacks with minimum spacing between houses could create a congested relationship between adjoining houses.
