ADR meeting outcomes: approvals, recommendations and follow‑ups (March 17, 2026)
Summary
At its March 17, 2026 meeting the Ross ADR approved minutes, recommended/approved multiple design-review items (5 Allen Lane unanimous recommendation; 3 Allen Lane conditional support; 230 Wellington approved 2–1) and directed staff follow-up on a zoning text amendment and conceptual plans for 325 Upper Toyon Drive.
The Ross Advisory Design Review Group convened March 17, 2026 and completed several actions: approval of the January 20, 2026 minutes; unanimous ADR support to recommend the 5 Allen Lane pool and landscape project to Town Council with equipment-height, soundproofing and screening conditions; conditional support for 3 Allen Lane pending revised pool orientation, a 30‑ft length cap, greater side setbacks and redwood preservation; approval of the 230 Wellington Avenue demolition/new‑construction, 2–1, with conditions to revise lower‑level window design; and direction to revise conceptual plans for 325 Upper Toyon Drive to meet FAR and parking requirements. The ADR also agreed to review proposed zoning text amendments on pools and landscape structures and follow up with staff.
Minutes note a transcript inconsistency about Chair Kruttschnitt: the text records that Chair Kruttschnitt "called the meeting to order" but also lists him as absent; staff attendance lists Roberta Feliciano (Planning and Building Director) and Alex Lopez‑Vega (Planner) were recorded as present. Where minutes contained no verbatim speaker quotes, this outcomes summary relies on the ADR minutes and recorded vote tallies. Staff will include ADR conditions and recommended revisions in packets prepared for Town Council or future ADR review.
