A-98-9; PD-98-3 Appeal - 3 - May 13, 1999 Environmental Review This project has been reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Initial Study concluded that with the recommended mitigation measures, the rezoning, Planned Development and Vesting Tentative Maps will not have a significant impact on the environment and a Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared. The significant impacts and mitigation measures necessary to reduce the impacts to less than a significant level is identified in the Negative Declaration. The Negative Declaration has been sent to the State Clearinghouse for a 30-day review period (SCH# 99022015). The review period ended March 8, 1999. Only one comment was received from Cal -Trans regarding the traffic impact on freeway on and off ramps. A response to this comment is attached to the Negative Declaration. DISCUSSION Rezoning In order to apply for a planned development to build ownership housing on the site, it is necessary to rezone the site to a residential zoning district that is appropriate for the density of the proposed development with the planned development overlay. RS (PD) is the residential designation that would be appropriate for this proposed ownership housing development. Planned Development Considered by the Planning Commission The proposal denied by the Planning Commission is a 70-unit residential subdivision consisting of courtyard homes, single-family homes on small lots and duet townhouses (Attachment Sheet A2). The unit breakdown is as follows: ■ Courtyard homes with common driveways — 33 units ■ Duets/Townhouses — 10 units ■ Single-family homes with individual driveways to the private street — 27 units. The 27 single-family lots would be 44 feet wide and vary in depth from 63 feet to 73 feet. Lot area would vary from a low of 2,772 square feet to 3,212 square feet. The courtyard lots would vary from 36 feet to 40 feet in width and 73 feet to 86 feet in depth. The lot area would average from 3,000 to 3,500 square feet. This includes the area devoted to the common driveways. The duet/townhouse lots would range from 22 feet by 73 feet to 25 feet by 83 feet. Lot area would range from a low of 1,241 square feet to a high of 2,075 square feet. The duet/townhouse lots are for low and moderate -income households.
