U 11 <br />W � � <br />0 <br />person to live comfortably. However, there <br />are no specific <br />area standards required for residential <br />handicapped units. Planning Staff supports <br />the proposed change to allow a maximum size <br />of 800 square feet for all efficiency <br />apartments, regardless of the size of the <br />principal structure. <br />Another issue identified by the Planning <br />Department involves the upgrading of private <br />roads. The number of efficiency apartments <br />may increase due to the relaxation of <br />restrictions. To account for the traffic <br />impacts of additional dwelling units, it is <br />proposed that efficiency apartments be <br />considered in determining the appropriate <br />classification for a private road. <br />A Class C road serves up to three lots. A <br />Class A road serves 10 or more lots. It is <br />proposed that the Private Road Standards be <br />amended to specify that a lot containing an <br />efficiency apartment counts as 1.5 lots in <br />determining road classification. Planning <br />Staff will be recommending that such an <br />amendment be presented for public hearing in <br />August, 1990. <br />The Planning Department recommends approval <br />of the proposed amendment, including the <br />change to allow an efficiency apartment <br />with a maximum of 800 square feet regardless <br />of the size of the principal dwelling. <br />MOTION: Lewis moved approval of the proposed <br />amendment.
