DATE: May 9, 2005 BACKGROUND: The applicant, 26 Colton LLC, is requesting City Council approval of a General Plan Amendment from Low Density Residential to Low Density Residential/Planned Community, and a Zone Change from R-1 (Single Family Residential) to R-1/PC (Single Family Residential/Planned Community) for the property located at 488 West Johnston Street (Assessor Parcel Number 0160-111-07-0000) and 502 West Johnston Street (Assessor Parcel Number 0160-111-08-0000), and an Environmental Determination that the proposed project warrants approval of a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. In addition to the above request, the applicant is also requesting an appeal of the Planning Commission's denial of the Architectural, Site and Elevation Plans and approval of Tentative Tract Map Number 17187, which is a proposal to subdivide the two referenced parcels of property, located at 488 and 502 West Johnston Street, into 26 single family residential lots. The proposed development would subdivide approximately 4.51 gross acres into 26 single-family residential lots below the minimum 7,200 S.F. lot size required under the R-1 Zone. The Planning Commission considered the applicant's request at two Public Hearings on March 22nd and April 12'", 2005. After considerable discussion and public testimony, the Commission on a 6-1 vote, denied the proposed project and adopted Resolution Number R-03-05. ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: Single-family residences and other structures are currently located within the two parcels. In order to develop the proposed project, the existing residences and structures will be required to be demolished. The applicant is requesting approval to add the Planned Community land use designation because the proposed lot sizes are below the minimum lot sizes required by the R-1
