Background
Staff report prepared by Lori Johnson
In June, 2019 the development known as Arroyo Villas was approved through a conditional use permit issued by the City Council. The development is 5.28 acres in size with 22 single family, detached units.
The resolution of approval for this development indicates that no side patio or entrance doors are permitted on these homes. These homes are being built on relatively small lots, which is typical of other villa home developments in the City. The resolutions for this type of development in the City have similar requirements. The reason the doors and entrances have been eliminated from the side yards is because there is not much room for a patio on the side of the homes and it creates an opportunity for noise and activity in the very small space between the homes. Most of these homes have patios on the rear of the building where there is much more space.
The developer, Ranger Development, has provided a narrative that indicates his reasoning for allowing side patio doors on four lots within the Arroyo Villas development. He is requesting that side/patio entrances be allowed on Lot 1 (Block 1), Lot 4 (Block 2), Lot 13 (Block 1), Lot 15 (Block 1). These lots are either pie shaped or corner lots with more room to accommodate a side patio than the other lots within the development.
Staff is supportive of an amendment to the conditional use permit resolution for this development that allows side/patio entrances on Lot 1 (Block 1), Lot 4 (Block 2), Lot 13 (Block 1), Lot 15 (Block 1). The amendment is recommended for approval.
