ATTACHMENT A Other Deliberation Topics The Planning Commission discussed additional topics during their deliberations. However, the motions related to these topics did not pass, and as such are not included in their recommendation. Secondary Dwelling Units x Limit occupancy to 3 to 4 people and limit to 2 bedrooms [general agreement to not add occupancy limit and to leave proposed bedroom limit] x Increase minimum lot size for detached secondary dwellings from 6,000 square feet to 6,225 square feet [Straw vote 2 to 5 with Steve Baker and John Jaworski voting in favor. Those in favor indicated consistency with density requirements and concerns about compatibility, while those in opposition noted that new standards will improve compatibility, the interim standards will address pressures around the university, and satisfaction that existing requirement is consistent with density.] Alley Access Lots x Lot Standards: Increase proposed minimum lot size from 2,250 to 3,600 square feet [Straw vote 3 to 4 with Steve Baker, John Barofsky and John Jaworski voting in favor. Those in favor mentioned concerns about lot coverage, compatibility and density, while those in opposition noted that the proposed development standards, including building size and paving limitations would limit lot coverage, and that advisory committee looked at these issues extensively.] x Setbacks: Increase building setbacks from 5 feet to 10 feet from the two property lines perpendicular to alley [Straw vote 3 to 4 with Steve Baker, John Barofsky and John Jaworski voting in favor. Those in favor indicated concerns about privacy, compatibility and transition, and noted that Portland requires 10 foot setbacks. Those in opposition noted that the proposed 5 foot setback works with the proposed sloped setbacks and other development standards to ensure compatibility, and that changing one standard in isolation may result in unintended consequences, including more two story buildings.] University Area Interim Protection Measures x Sunset date: Set a date certain of July 31, 2017 for interim measures to automatically sunset [Straw vote 3 to 4 with Steve Baker, Rick Duncan and John Jaworski voting in favor. Those in favor expressed support for certainty and specificity, while those in opposition noted that if the timing of the ordinance adoption changes or if the effective date changes, then the 42 month timeline provides more flexibility.] September 24, 2018, Meeting - Item 3
