Lozano inquired about design review fees charged for specific projects. Nagle responded that the fees are currently based on the number of dwelling units. Huetinck approved of the design review. He had concerns about approving an 800 square foot granny flat and the need for a design review. He was also concerned about administrative adjustments concerning lots of 10,000 square feet. Nagle stated that staff knows the Commission's concern for density; lot size is not one of the issues that could be resolved through an administrative adjustment; however, setbacks and lot width are included. Nagle explained how staff arrived at the 800 square foot area for design review of granny flats. Nagle stated, in response to a question by Reyes, that the City has a master list of trees for public streets, however within the private streets of planned unit developments, staff can be flexible. Lawrence Speight; 9101 E. Slauson Avenue, Pico Rivera, stated that he is a small builder in the City and he hoped that the design guidelines would not be a burden to private home owners or small builders; he cautioned the Commission about design committees that, as in other cities he knows of, yield such power that they don't encourage but mandate the type of design they want; in reference to administrative adjustments, he considered those a give and take between staff and developer and felt that when those variances were denied by staff, the builder could retaliate by building shoddy development; he pointed out the rigidity of the zoning Code which does not allow variances for lot area to allow flag lots. * * * Next under Old Business was Discussion of OLD BUSINESS Regional Topics. City Planner Onaga stated DISCUSSION OF REGIONAL that the literature given to the commissioners TOPICS involves the housing affordability issue; he spoke about the Air Quality Element of the General Plan; the County's Congestion Management program and a Transportation Demand Management Ordinance and Land Use Analysis Program. These issues are the consequence of the inevitable growth in this region. The population is expected to grow by the year 2010 to between 18.5 and 22 million people, mostly due to natural growth. This will translate into a need for approximately 130,000 residential units per year. The problems that have been identified: air quality, traffic congestion and housing affordability, if left unaddressed, may cause local governments to loose their land use authority due to passage of several bills which are proposed in Sacramento now. 2 BIB] 37175-U01 PC-U02 MIN-U02 JAN-U02 13-U02 1993-U02 LG1-U03 LI1-U03 FO3433-U03 FO3650-U03 FO3651-U03 DO4037-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 10/11/2001-U04 ADMIN-U04 PC-U05 MIN-U05 JAN-U05 13-U05 1993-U05 BIB] 37260-U01 1993-U02 01-U02 13-U02 PC-U02 MIN-U02 LG1-U03 LI1-U03 FO3433-U03 FO3650-U03 DO4037-U03 C11-U03 PLANNING-U03 MINUTES-U03 10/11/2001-U04 ADMIN-U04 PLANNING-U05 COMMISSION-U05 MINUTES-U05 1993 01 13 PC MINòw @˜yœPC MIN JAN 13 1993à›[H5?8MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF THE BALDWIN PARK PLANNING COMMISSION 1-13-93 Associate Planner Nagle, summarized income groups and the housing affordability.
