VIII. CONCLUSION Staff believes that the proposed site plan and positioning of the buildings are appropriate for the subject property. The applicant has included an adequate amount of usable open space and landscaped areas within the project given the site constraints. Staff finds the building design to be attractive and that the architectural style, finish colors, and materials will complement the surrounding development. The project also would provide affordable rental housing which would help the City meet its lower income housing goals. IX. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission take the following actions: 1. Find that the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 have not occurred as described in the Addendum to the SEIR and find that the previously prepared SEIR, including the adopted CEQA Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations, and the Addendum to the SEIR are adequate to serve as the environmental documentation for this project and satisfy all the requirements of CEQA; 2. Find that the proposed PUD development plan and development agreement are consistent with the General Plan; 3. Make the PUD findings for the proposed development plan as listed in the staff report; 4. Find that the exceptions to the Housing Site Development Standards and Design Guidelines as listed in the staff report are appropriate; and 5. Adopt resolutions recommending approval of: 1) Case PUD-85-08-1D-4M, PUD major modification and development plan, subject to the conditions of approval listed in Exhibit A; and 2) Case P13-0030, a development agreement for the project, and forward the applications to the City Council for public hearing and review.
