BACKGROUND As amended in February 2015, the City's GMP requires all new residential projects to obtain GMUAs for each new residential unit that would be constructed. Currently, common practice is that City Council reviews the requested unit allocations when taking action on a Planned Unit Development (PUD) project involving residential development. However, in some instances, residential projects were approved under the prior GMP, which included a "first come, first served" category that permitted issuance of GMUAs at a later date by staff, but prior to issuance of a building permit. In other instances, the Planning Commission or Zoning Administrator took action on a project but the project has not yet been issued GMUAs. In these instances, the GMP allows these requests for GMUAs to be approved by: (1) City Council; or (2) the Zoning Administrator (which may administratively approve up to 10 GMUAs per calendar year).' The GMP also allows City Council to grant the Zoning Administrator additional administrative GMUAs, on a calendar year basis, if a need is demonstrated. APPROVED PROJECTS SUMMARY I PENDING GMUA REQUESTS As mentioned, there are three previously approved projects, which collectively include a total of 13 new residential units, which did not obtain GMUAs during the approval process. The applicants for these projects have requested GMUAs, and below is a summary of each project: • P15-0486 — PUD-94, 5551 and 5561 Calico Lane and 1737 through 1761 Lynn Court. This PUD rezoning and development plan application was approved by the City Council in the summer of 2013; subsequently a final map was recorded to create the seven lot subdivision. There are seven vacant lots that require the requested GMUAs. The project is in the plan check process, and the GMUA request was filed in July 2015. • P15-0512 — Design Review, 4745 Augustine Street. This Design Review application was approved by the Planning Commission in September 2015. It includes preservation of an existing residential unit and construction of three new apartment units behind the existing residential unit. The three new apartment units require the requested GMUAs, and the GMUA application was filed in August 2015. • P15-0524 — (PUD-72, 4693 Augustine Street). This PUD rezoning and development plan was approved by City Council in October 2008 and subsequently a final map was recorded to create a six lot subdivision. There are three existing homes on the subject site that are to remain and three new homes to be constructed on the three remaining vacant lots. The three new homes require the requested GMUAs, and the GMUA application was filed in August 2015. The project was recently purchased and the new owner is in the plan check process.
