MATTERS DISCUSSED - Condominium Ordinance The discussion began with the consideration of Section 9106.30 - Landscaping. It was requested by the Commission that "moisture sensors and timers", be added to Line 13, as_it had been previously agreed. In addition to this, the following was added to the Landscaping section: "(d) That the conceptual landscape and irrigation plan shall make use of moisture sensors and/or timing devices in regard to landscape irrigation concept for 100% watering to all planted areas." There was then a discussion regarding the applicability of the standards to townhomes and commercial condominiums. Mr. Carmona stated that these regulations would apply to all one-lot subdivisions. He further stated that this ordinance would regulate all air-space subdivisions. He then explained the differences of development under the P-D zone. Also discussed was the requirement of a conceptual, automatic lighting plan. It was determined by the Commission that this was important in protecting ad- jacent properties from glare and light shining in their windows at night. Section 9106.31 - Parking Commissioner Ritchie requested that the following be added to Line 17, Page 6: 11 . . .(as defined in Section 9106.27(1). . He wanted this added to refer anyone reading this ordinance to the definition of bedrooms in Section 9106.27(1), because the required paiking is regulated by the number of bedrooms in each unit. Chairman Lowrey also expressed his concern that the parking requirements may be to restrictive. However, it was the consensus of the Commission that they should be allowed to remain as proposed. Also discussed in this regard was the possibility of designating this as guest parking only. Commissioner De Cocker then stated that, in regard to garage areas, he would like to require sprinkler systems in each covered parking space. Commissioner Mattern then suggested adding "garage" after each reference to a "covered parking space" for clarity. There was then a discussion regarding the possibility of separating guest parking into a separate section. Mr. Carmona then stated that he would re-structure the entire parking section into appropriate sections. In addition, the Commission considered the possibility of defining "tandem parking"; however, it was the consensus of the Commission that this was not necessary. Section 9106.32 - Storage The Commission reviewed this section and agreed that it was acceptable as sub- mitted.

It was the consensus of the Commission to include this in the Condominium Ordinance.
