BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
This matter involves a property owner's request to remove a tract condition that prohibits
access to a vacant lot known as the Elkmont Canyon (Attachment A) and for future
consideration to develop the lot with a single-family residence. On Friday July 8, 2016,
the applicant informed Staff that he would not be able to attend the July 19, 2016,
meeting due to a last-minute international business trip. Based on the applicant's
request and the importance of having the property owner in attendance at the meeting,
Staff is recommending that the public hearing be continued to the August 16, 2016,
meeting. On July 11, 2016, interested parties were notified of the applicant's
continuance request and Staff's recommendation to continue this matter.
CONCLUSION:
For the reasons stated above, Staff recommends that the City Council continue this item
to the August 16, 2016, City Council meeting.

ALTERNATIVES:
In addition to the Staff recommendation, the following alternative actions are available
for the City Council's consideration:

full Staff analysis to render a decision.
2. Continue the matter to a date uncertain.
3. Identify issues and concerns for Staff to address when this item is
brought back to the Council for consideration.
