DISCUSSION:

Key Considerations in review of the proposal:

  1. How does the proposal address relevant development permit guidelines (Natural Watercourse and Shoreline Areas – Environmental Protection and Hazards)
  2. How does the proposal comply with zoning requirements (R-1 – Detached Residential) and is the requested variance supportable?
