Open the public hearing, receive comments and close the public hearing. Though it is the policy of the Planning Commission not to act on an item the same night as its public hearing, staff believes the proposal can move forward if there are no adverse comments received.

Recommend approval of an interim use permit for a second driveway not leading to a garage at 13199 Galleria Place to the City Council, subject to the following conditions:

1. Vehicles shall not be stored, or parked on the driveway. The driveway shall only be utilized as a loading/unloading zone.
2. The driveway shall be temporary, and shall be removed prior to the sale of the home by the Pasha family.
3. The driveway shall be constructed in a way that is generally consistent with the site plan dated 8-10-17 attached.

Mrs. Mumtaz Pasha requests consideration of an application for an Interim Use Permit for a second driveway not leading to a garage which is required by city code, at 13199 Galleria Place. The purpose of the driveway is to provide direct access to the basement level of the home for a impaired family member.

Mrs. Mumtaz Pasha has applied for an Interim Use Permit for a secondary driveway which does not lead to a garage at her home at 13199 Galleria Place. The proposed driveway does not lead to a garage, which is required by ity code section.378 L3. She is doing so to allow Mr. Haroon Pasha to continue to reside in the residence after suffering a debilitating stroke which left him unable to walk or traverse stairways. The driveway will allow access to the basement level of the home, which includes a full bathroom, and is being converted to meet Mr. Pasha's needs.

The applicants have agreed to all the conditions listed, and seek to install this driveway as early as possible. A letter from the family providing additional details on why the driveway is needed, and a letter from the doctor are also provided and attached to this report.

A drawing attached details an amended plan after working with staff. The total driveway length would be approximately 42 feet long to the property line, 55 feet long to the street, and 12 feet wide. Staff worked with the applicant to shift the driveway to provide distance and protection from the load bearing beam of the 4 season porch, and the home's air conditioner.

City staff and the City Attorney determined the best process for this temporary driveway was an Interim Use Permit, rather than a variance. The primary reason for this is due to the nature of the variance being unique to the property. A secondary reason is due to the fact that variances cannot be temporary in nature, whereas an Interim Use Permit often carries a time-frame associated with the use.
