proposed architecture and setbacks within the existing context of a mix of commercial, and residential uses. The General Plan's Land Use Diagram designates the site as Corridor Mixed Use for the majority of the parcel (0.84 acres, zoned CC Commercial Community) and Low Density Residential for the portions along Herma Court (0.16 acres, zoned RS Residential Single- Family). The CC District has no density designation, but is conditionally compatible with high density residential which allows up to 29 units per net acre. The Low Density Residential allows up to 8.7 units per net acre. With the proportionate allowed density on the two portions of the site, the overall density allowed would be 25.3 units on this one acre site. The proposal is for 23 uni~s, which is within the allowed density for the site. 3. The property subject to the rezone will be served by streets, utilities and other public facilities of sufficient capacity to properly serve it without overloading and without detriment to other areas presently zoned in contemplation of full use and availability of such facilities. As part of the comprehensive plan to rezone and redevelop the subject property, the subject property will be improved with adequate public infrastructure such as utilities and other public facilities to properly serve it without overloading and without detriment to the immediate area. Street facilities accessing the project already exist. Planned Unit Development 1.

The planned development is high-density residential equaling 23 units per net acre. The high- density design will be compatible as a transition with the nearby multi-family, single- family, and commercial uses, by providing open space and lower density development on the borders of the site adjacent to existing single-family development. 2. That the proposed location of the use and the proposed conditions under which it would be operated or maintained, will be consistent with the General Plan; will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare of persons residing or working in or adjacent to the neighborhood of such use; and will not be detrimental to properties or improvements in the vicinity or to the general welfare of the City. The proposal is consistent with City goals, objectives and policies related to housing and land uses outlined in the General Plan. The project increases the housing supply in a manner that will be compatible with the existing area. The development will result in an improvement in appearance to the property, which is currently underutilized. In addition to aesthetic quality, the new row homes will be designed, constructed and equipped to Recommended Findings of Fact PLN2006-00 1 04 May 7,2007 Page 2 of5
