Staff recommends continuation to restudy the following:

specifically the area that extends to the west side of the lot, to meet
Design Guidelines 10.8 and 10.10 and reduce setback variations.
2.Reduce the proposed patio on the west side of the lot to allow vegetation
to surround the historic landmark, and remove or relocate the proposed
fire feature and BBQ to zoning compliant locations.
3.Work with relevant City Departments regarding comments related to the
transformer, new water line and the stormwater mitigation plan.
