Planning commission approves revised four‑unit Crowder Avenue site plan with lighting, civil and fire conditions
Summary
The Garden City Planning Commission backed a revised site plan for a four‑unit residential building at 28541 Crowder Avenue, contingent on removing an east‑side yard light, relocating first‑floor entry fixtures adjacent to doors and final civil and fire‑marshal approvals; the motion passed 4–0 with the chair abstaining.
The Garden City Planning Commission voted to approve a revised site plan for a four‑unit residential building at 28541 Crowder Avenue, subject to conditions aimed at reducing neighbor impacts and completing final engineering reviews.
Consultant staff told commissioners the May resubmittal corrected several items flagged on the April plans: the building edge now meets the 30‑foot front setback, measured building height is 22 feet by midpoint measurement, material samples and colors were provided, the plan includes a three‑sided trash enclosure, and the developer restored a missing sidewalk connection to upper‑floor doors. Parking was revised to supply nine spaces including one ADA‑compliant stall. The consultant said the only remaining concern on the May set was an exterior light on the east side of the building that could shine into adjacent properties and recommended the commission address that fixture as a condition of approval.
"With these revisions on the April plans ... the proposed development is completely in compliance with the conventional requirements," the consultant said during the presentation, while also urging removal of the east‑side light to avoid glare for neighbors.
Applicant Yuri Slayman, who spoke in response to commissioner questions, said the team would relocate first‑floor entry lights so each unit’s exterior fixture sits adjacent to its door, and agreed to remove the east‑side yard light. "We're happy to get the project going and whatever it is that you require," the applicant said.
Commissioners moved to support the site plan with the conditions that the east‑side light be removed, first‑floor entrance fixtures be positioned adjacent to doors, the B7 fixture be removed where noted, and that final civil site construction drawings, utility and drainage plans be approved by the city engineer and the city fire marshal complete a review. The motion carried on a role call showing four affirmative votes and one abstention; Chairperson May said she abstained because she had already voted on the item at a previous CBA meeting.
The commission directed staff to notify the applicant and proceed with administrative steps required for final approvals, including any engineering and fire‑marshal signoffs.
Next steps: the applicant must comply with final civil/engineering and fire reviews before building permits are issued.
