At a glance

Based on auto-generated captions; names and details may be misheard.

What: Rezoning from residence estates to single-family residential, a connectivity-ratio variance, easement vacation and a six-lot tentative map on the north side of Alexander Road east of Giuliano Road, plus a variance for perimeter and retaining wall height (item 45).
Where it stands: All approved; Commissioner Rogan abstained. Staff had recommended denial.
Next: City Council on November 4, 2026.

Applicant (Plaster Development, owner Signature Homes) said six lots of at least 10,000 sq ft is less dense than the eight-lot cul-de-sacs on each side, and chose the single-family zoning for its setbacks rather than paying for many variances. They agreed to a six-lot, 10,000 sq ft minimum condition.
Staff said the zoning does not comply with planning area B of the 2016 interlocal agreement (6,500 sq ft lots allowed) and the applicant is over-developing the site.
Wall height: a retaining wall up to 10 ft plus a 6-ft screen wall (16 ft total) along the east side, needed to raise the entry road for drainage. One neighbor to the east objected.
Commissioner Walters did not add a condition but strongly encouraged the applicant to work with the council office and public works to lower the wall; the applicant's representative agreed to look at stepping it back.
