Summary

Council unanimously approved a planned-district amendment to allow conversion of a portion of the clubhouse second floor into a one-bedroom residential unit, increasing the permitted unit count from 315 to 316; Planning & Zoning recommended approval with building permit review conditions.

The council voted unanimously to approve a planned-district (PD) amendment allowing the conversion of a portion of the second floor of the clubhouse at the Lakeside Apartments (Mansions by the Lake) into a one-bedroom residential unit.

Planning staff (Speaker 15) said the original PD was approved in 1997 and a 1998 amendment had allowed a daycare in the clubhouse; the daycare is no longer present. The applicant proposed converting interior event space and two small restrooms into a one-bedroom unit with required fire separation modifications. Staff said there is no net change in parking (the development provides 893 parking spaces) and the total permitted units would increase from 315 to 316.

The Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval, subject to any building-permit review comments. No members of the public signed up to speak on the item. Council member Nevills moved to close the public hearing and approve the item with the listed conditions; Prem Kumar seconded and the motion carried with all present voting in favor.

Staff noted some minor differences in the verbal presentation about square-footage (the presentation referenced both "1,254" and "1,132" square feet at different moments); that discrepancy was not resolved on the record and will be clarified during the building-permit review process.
