Regular City Council Meeting Monday,March 24,2014 Page 11 For the record, Mayor Roe clarified that it had been suggested, but not con- firmed, that staff did not have adequate equipment available to monitor and de- termine sound compliance issues. 9. General Ordinances for Adoption a. Adopt an Ordinance Amending Table 1004-5 oft he Zoning Ordinance Spe- cific to the Medium Density Residential District City Planner Thomas Paschke reviewed this request as detailed in the RCA dated March 24, 2014. Mr. Paschke noted one revision to the Table 1004-5 included in the meeting packet, and a potential conflict with the City's Subdivision Ordi- nance, as part of the regulating plan and map previously adopted by the City Council, and the need for further clarification as the separation for minimum pe- riphery alley setbacks related to distance. While the initial goal of staff was to clarify that, since there was no current established setback for that use, Mr. Paschke advised that until further review and analysis was performed by staff, the proposed Table 1004-5 be revised to delete that final line on the table. Mr. Paschke began his review with specifics for row homes and the nature of their design. Mayor Roe spoke specifically to the row homes in the Greater Metropolitan Housing Corporation's (GMHC) proposal along Dale Street, verifying that their proposed front yard setback is actually larger than this action would require. Mr. Paschke confirmed that they were proposing a larger setback than this would require; and that, as noted in the Table (page 5 of the RCA), that setback was based on the type of street as detailed in the footnotes immediately following the Table. Mr. Paschke further addressed the intent in setback revisions to address open are- as and front porches, and town homes, using the GMHC proposal as an example along Cope Avenue and periphery setbacks. At the request of Councilmember McGehee, Mr. Paschke confirmed that staff was recommending changes for code city-wide, not specific to the Dale Street Project itself. Since the Dale Street Project was special and experimental in Roseville for this type of housing, Councilmember McGehee questioned the wisdom of changing code beyond this project, and whether it may create problems in other single- family neighborhoods, not just with the surrounding neighbors for this develop- ment.
