352 Each of these additional requirements is fairly clear, except for the standard about specific lot size. <br />353 While the provision does refer to lot width, the width of this shared access parcel is either much wider <br />354 than 170 feet or much narrower, depending on where the measurement is made. Notwithstanding the <br />355 uncertainty of exactly howto apply this requirement, the Planning Commission determinedthis standard <br />356 is not a limiting factor in this case. If the “specific size” of this parcel is determined by measuring its <br />357 width along S McCarrons Boulevard or along the shoreline, then its greater-than 400-foot width clearly <br />358 exceeds the minimum standard. If the specific size is measured in the main body of the parcel, by <br />359 contrast, then its width would be as little as 30 feet. In either case, the boundaries of this parcel of <br />360 lakeshore land are not changing by virtue of becoming Outlot B of The Enclave at McCarrons Lake plat; <br />361 to the extent its specific size may be found to be substandard, this deficiency is clearly a legal, <br />362 nonconforming condition. Finally, as these are standards established in the zoning code, they do not <br />363 need to be specified as conditions of approval of the controlled access as a conditional use. <br />364 Public Comment <br />365 Additional public comments sent to the City after the conclusion of the pre-application engagement <br />366 effort are, as noted above, included with this RCA as part of Attachment D. The duly noticed public <br />367 hearing for themany land use approvals requested to facilitate the proposed developmentwas held by <br />368 the Planning Commission on February 3, 2021. Members of the public who participated in the public <br />369 hearing mostly spoke in opposition to the proposal, citing similar concerns to those raised during and <br />370 after the pre-application engagement.
