meeting on September 17, 1986, by a vote of 5-0, did resolve as follows:
1. The appeal from the Planning Commission was denied and the
decision of the Planning Commission was affirmed.
2. The City Council was unable to make the findings required for
granting a second unit use permit by reason of the following
considerations:
(a) The lot is substandard in size and will not accommodate a
detached second unit.
(b) The proximity of the second unit to the property lines will
cause adverse privacy impacts upon neighboring properties.
(c) The design of the second unit is not compatible with the main
dwelling on the site or with other structures in the immediate
neighborhood.
(d) The establishment of another off-street parking space will
require excessive paving along the frontage of the property that
will destroy the visual appearance of the site.
