Summary

The commission unanimously recommended that the Town Council approve a small Planned Development amendment allowing an increase of roughly 400 square feet (FAR from 1.01 to 1.22) for Lot 8 at 130 Vona Oaks Drive to allow a second-floor addition and attic conversion.

The Planning Commission unanimously voted on Aug. 13 to forward a proposed amendment to Planned Development Ordinance 1281 to the Town Council. The amendment would allow a one-time, lot-specific increase in the floor area ratio for Lot 8 (130 Vona Oaks Drive), raising FAR from 1.01 to 1.22 and increasing allowable lot coverage from 66% to 73.4% to permit approximately 400 square feet of additional living area.

Staff said the request responds to a renovation that relocates the kitchen, enlarges family spaces, and converts an existing mezzanine into an additional bedroom/office to accommodate multi-generational household needs. The homeowners provided evidence of HOA correspondence indicating the association's awareness and support; no public opposition was presented at the hearing.

Because the change amends a local ordinance, the Planning Commission's role was to review the proposed text amendment and forward a recommendation to the Town Council. Commissioners found the amendment consistent with the general plan and applicable development standards and voted unanimously to forward the recommendation for Council consideration.

If Council approves the ordinance amendment, the homeowner's subsequent building permit or minor residential application will be reviewed under the updated parameters in the planned development ordinance.
