PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposal includes applications for: • A General Plan Amendment to change the land use designation for an approximately 0.15-acre portion of the site from Retail/Highway/Service Commercial; Business and Professional Offices to High Density Residential; • A Downtown Specific Plan Amendment to change the land use designation from Office to Downtown Commercial and High Density Residential; and e A Planned Unit Development (PUD) Rezoning and Development Plan to rezone the site from the C-C (Central Commercial), Downtown Revitalization, Core Area Overlay District to PUD-HDR/C-C District and to convert the existing single-family residence into a commercial use building including site and exterior building modifications, and to construct three approximately 2,400-square-foot, three-story detached single-family residences. The proposal would result in a mixed-use project including conversion of the existing residential unit to commercial use and the construction of three single-family detached residential units. The applicant proposes to demolish the existing two car garage and remove eight non-heritage trees, including two palms, five privets, and one almond. All remaining existing site improvements, including the approximately 1,169-square-foot single-story residential unit and the existing front and side yard perimeter landscaping adjacent to that existing residential unit would remain. The southern portion of the subject site and the existing residential unit would undergo minor exterior changes, as detailed below, to facilitate its conversion to a commercial use building. Additionally, as detailed below, three, approximately 2,400-square-foot, three-story detached single- family residences would be constructed on the remaining portion of the subject site (Figure 2). Four existing on-street parking spaces on Peters Avenue would be affected by the proposed new residences: three spaces would be removed to accommodate the driveway curb cuts for each residence, while one space would be relocated between the driveways of Lots 2 and 3. The applicant is proposing to subdivide the subject parcel into four new lots (one for the commercial use building and one for each of the three new residences). The commercial lot would be approximately 4,236 sq. ft. in area, while the residential lots would be approximately 2,246 sq. ft., 2,208 sq. ft., and 2,229 sq. ft. in area. Page 4 of 11
