Approve Vesting Tentative Map Tract No. 7183 with the recommended findings and conditions of approval for a 5 unit subdivision creating individual parcels for each of the proposed for sale units. BACKGROUND This vacant property consists of a single parcel with an area of 13,400 square feet. The property is bounded by a four -unit condominium on the east side and a private garage and storage on the north side. On the south side of Thornton is a recently completed 25-unit townhouse development built by the applicant for this proposal. The design of the units is almost identical to this project. On the west side of San Leandro Boulevard is parking for the Davis Street BART station. DETAILS OF PROPOSAL Rezoning In conjunction with a planned development, the subject property must be rezoned to Planned Development Combining District. In this case the property is presently zoned RM-1800 Multi - Family Residential and must be rezoned to a classification that most closely matches the density of the project (one unit per 2700 square feet of land area.) Rezoning the property to RM-3000 (PD) Residential Multi -Family Planned Development Combining District is the classification that most closely matches the density of the project. Planned Development This proposal is to construct 5 two-story townhouse units on this site. All of the units will face Thornton Street and there will be 5 separate driveways for access to the respective two -car attached garages. The units have a master bedroom suite and bathroom on the first floor and two bedrooms, bath, kitchen, living room and dining area on the second floor. The living area of the unit is 1310 square feet and the garage is 509 square feet. There is a private fenced backyard for each unit varying from 25 feet to 43 feet in depth. The front setback on Thornton Street varies from 20 feet to 38 feet to the recessed garage door. The units are very similar to the 25 unit Thornton Place project across the street and the two recently approved projects at Estudillo Avenue and Santa Rosa Street. The building exterior is stucco with architectural enhancements consisting of stucco stone veneer, bay windows, built up stucco eave, accent stucco trim, arched windows, wood shutters and sectional garage doors with windows. The units have generous offsets to break up the continuous line of the fagade. Along San Leandro Boulevard from the rear corner of the end unit to the rear property will be an 8-foot high masonry wall. The side of the unit facing San Leandro Boulevard will remain open City Council Staff Report March 1, 2000 A-99-7, PD-9-8 & TM 7183 Page 2 of 4 q
