Lot 9 of Tract 7534 (1619 Cindy Way), a currently vacant lot, is part of the existing Roselyn Estates development. It abuts the driveway of 1623 Cindy Way on the southeast. It is surrounded by single family homes (see location map above). PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposal consists of: o Rezoning approximately three-acres of the existing approximately four-acre site at 1623 Cindy Way from A (Agriculture) District to PUD-MDR (Planned Unit Development — Medium Density Residential) District so that the entire site would have one single zoning designation; o Design review approval to construct an approximately 2,720 square foot one- story home with an approximately 580 square foot attached garage at 1619 Cindy Way (Lot 9, Tract 7534); and o Modifying a condition of approval for Tract 7534 to allow the continued use of the existing driveway to the existing lot at 1623 Cindy Way and to adjust the driveway location. ANALYSIS General Plan and Land Use Conformity The General Plan land use designation for the subject site is Medium Density Residential (two - eight dwelling units per gross acre). The proposed project is to change the current zoning from A (Agriculture) District to PUD-MDR (Planned Unit Development — Medium Density Residential) district, making the entire site conforming to the General Plan Land Use Designation. With the approval of the rezoning, the applicant intends to submit an application to develop the site with a project that would meet the medium density requirement and be compatible in lot size and design concept with the surrounding homes. This future PUD development would be an extension to the existing Roselyn Estates development (more discussion later in the report). 1) Rezoning Zoning is the land use designation defining site development standards for building setbacks, height, floor area ratio, etc. During the development of projects on Rose Avenue, the City Council and Planning Commission have directed that the area should maintain the existing "rural character" through the creation of large single-family lots at least 10,000 square feet in size and that these developments should be designed at the low end of the General Plan density range. As was mentioned the `Background" section, the existing property has two zoning designations. The proposal is to rezone the "A" zoned portion of the site to a PUD-MDR district so that the entire site would conform to the General Plan Land Use Designation as well as being consistent with the surrounding residential properties.
