SUMMARY:
The applicant requests Design Approval for a remodel of the MPCC clubhouse facility. Proposed changes include: a 4,162 square foot addition to the main level; a 4,242 square foot addition to the basement level; a 6,830 square foot terrace addition to the main level; and a 2,050 square foot terrace addition to the basement level. The proposed exterior colors and materials would match the existing clubhouse facility, and include white stucco and red tile roofing. The Proposed plans were revised to remove covered entry and architectural enhancements from the project scope.
Prior to completion of the administrative review, RMA-Planning staff received a request for public hearing (Exhibit D). Therefore, this item was set for public hearing before the Zoning Administrator. Concerns expressed by the public involve the possible noise and privacy impacts clubhouse additions could have on the adjacent residential neighborhood along Wranglers Trail Road. Staff also received a noise complaint regarding a private event at the clubhouse.
See Exhibit A for a detailed discussion of the project and neighbor concerns.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The project was referred to the Monterey County Historic Resources Review Board (HRRB) for review. After reviewing the proposed project on June 2 and July 7, 2016, the HRRB adopted a resolution (HRRB Resolution PLN160151, adopted July 7, 2016) finding the proposed project consistent with Section 21.54 of the Monterey County Code (Regulations for Historic Resources Zoning Districts). The HRRB also found that the project will neither adversely affect the significant architectural features of the designated resource nor adversely affect the character, historical, architectural, or aesthetic interest or value of the designated resource and its site.
The project was referred to the Del Monte Forest Land Use Advisory Committee (LUAC) for review. The LUAC will review the proposed project at a duly-noticed public meeting on October 20, 2016; therefore, the recommendation of the LUAC will not be available in time to include in this staff report.
