owner submitted a staff-level Design Review application to make improvements to the existing house, and the application is currently being reviewed by staff. The proposed General Plan and Specific Plan amendments and PUD rezoning require review and recommendation by the Planning Commission and action by the City Council. This project was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Planning Commission at a regular meeting held on July 23, 2014. For a detailed description of the discussion at this meeting, please see the attached draft minutes in Attachment 4. The project is now before the Council for final decision. SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA DESCRIPTION The subject site is approximately 0.23 acres (9,799 square-feet) in size and is located on the south side of Stanley Boulevard (Figure 1) in a transition area between the Downtown Commercial area and residential uses to the east. The site is relatively flat and is developed with an existing 1,937-square-foot residence built in approximately 1912. A historic evaluation of the house was conducted as part of the review of PUD- 97, which determined that the house lacked integrity and was not eligible for listing in the California Register of Historic Resources. Nevertheless, the Council determined that it added to the historic character of Downtown and was worth preserving. The approved use for the site pursuant to PUD-97 is single-family residential. The property is bordered on the north across Stanley Boulevard by various types of residential and commercial uses (Window-ology), the east and south by the new Ponderosa Homes 12-lot single-family residential development approved under PUD- 97, and the west by a chiropractor's office and a single-family home. Commercial uses are located further to the west on Stanley Boulevard.
