EXHIBIT A RECOMMENDED FINDINGS OF FACT AND DETERMINATIONS PLN21-0005 2824 Halcyon Drive, APN 77C-1240-5 Chris Zaballos, D.R. Horton (Applicant) Douglas Storm, Douglas Storm Trust UDT (Property Owner) The City Council hereby approves a Zoning Map Amendment (PLN21-0005), subject to the following findings: Zoning Map Amendment 1. The proposed zoning map amendment is consistent with the policies of the General Plan. The proposed zoning map amendment from IP Industrial Park/ RS Residential Single - Family to RS(PD) Residential Single -Family with a Planned Development Overlay District is appropriate and necessary for consistency with the General Plan because the General Plan designation is RLM Low -Medium Density Residential which permits attached and detached single family houses on small lots. Lots smaller than 5,000 square feet are permitted. Gross densities generally range from 7 to 11 units per acre, including streets and easements. Maximum allowable net density in this category is 12.4 units per net acre. With the zoning map amendment, the Project retains the basic amenities and qualities of a single family neighborhood, including front and rear yards, driveways, and garages. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan designation of RLM Low - Medium Density Residential because the project consists of 18 single-family dwelling units on smaller lots that are less than 5,000 square feet. The project has a density of 7.4 units per acre which falls within 7 to 11 units per acre and is less than the maximum density of 12.4 units per acre. For these reasons, the zoning map amendment with Planned Development (PD) zoning overlay will be consistent with the underlying General Plan designation. The Zoning Map Amendment to change the zoning from IP Industrial Park/ RS Residential Single -Family to RS(PD) Residential Single -Family with a Planned Development Overlay District will align the General Plan designation of Low -Medium Density Residential because the corresponding zoning designation for the Low -Medium Density Residential land use category is RS(PD) Residential Single -Family with a Planned Development Overlay District (General Plan page 3-33). The following General Plan policies are applicable to the proposed project (note: LU-Land Use): Policy LU-1.5 Front Yards. Encourage the attractive treatment of front yards and other areas in residential neighborhoods that are visible from the street. Landscaping of front yards should be consistent with the City's water conservation and Bay -friendly landscaping goals.
