City Council Meeting — May 17, 2005 General Plan Amendment and Zone Change Page 2 of 3 development standards that are the following: (a) Lot width: 60 feet/40 feet at cul-de-sacs, (b) Lot depth: 100 feet, and (c) Lot area: 7,200 S.F. The applicant is proposing lots with a minimum width of 48 feet; lot depths ranging from 102 feet to 164 feet, and total lot area ranging from 4,896 S.F. to 7,680 S.F. Four floor plans with two elevations each are proposed. The proposed single-family residences will range from 1,473 to 1,827 S.F. of living area, and will be either one or two stories in height. The residences will have two -car garages with concrete driveways. Access to the project site will be provided from a proposed new 50 -foot wide street extending south from Johnston Street terminating into a cul-de-sac. The proposed new street will be located south of Johnston Street opposite of Terrace Avenue. Staff did not support the proposed project because the project site is not the appropriate location to implement the requested PC land use designation due to the surrounding uses. The project site is located in a fully urbanized area and is surrounded on the north, south and east by existing R-1 single-family residential houses on lots that are a minimum of 7,200 S.F. The project site is adjacent to a single-family residence and the McKinley Elementary School on the west. The Planning Commission concurred with staff's opinion and denied the proposed project. ALTERNATIVES: Reject the applicant's request and maintain the existing land use designation. FISCAL IMPACT: Positive impact. The property will be improved from its current condition and may generate property tax revenue from new construction. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: Based on an Environmental Assessment, it was concluded that there would be no significant impact to the environment. Therefore, the applicant is requesting approval of a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the project.
