The remaining church parcel would be approximately 11.9 acres, approximately 2 acres of which could contain existing and potential church-related future development; approximately 9 acres, including the creek and adjacent riparian area, would be preserved as permanent open space through a conservation easement. A Minor Subdivision application will be submitted to subdivide the existing site into four parcels (three residential parcels and the remaining church parcel); that application will be subject to review a n d action b y sta ff following the p r ocess i ng of the p r oposed PUD Development elopment Plan. ANALYSIS General Plan and Zoning The property currently has a General Plan land use designation of Rural Density Residential and a Zoning Designation of A (Agriculture) District. Both the General Plan and Zoning designations allow for 1 dwelling unit per 5 acres. The proposed development would have a density equivalent to one dwelling unit per 5 acres, conforming to the General Plan Land Use density requirements. Second units are not counted in residential density calculations. In addition, the General Plan encourages residential projects on land designated Rural Density Residential to be clustered on lots of one acre or larger. The General Plan also encourages the use of PUDs for residential properties that have unique characteristics or to accommodate development that does not fit under standard zoning classifications. The zoning for the project site would change from the A (Agriculture) District to the PUD-RDR (Planned Unit Development — Rural Density Residential) District for the residential lots and PUD-A-OS (Planned Unit Development —Agriculture and Open Space) District for the remaining church parcel. The 2 acre portion of the church site would be designated as Agriculture, while the remaining 11.9 acres of land would be designated as Open Space and be permanently preserved through a conservation easement. Second Dwelling Units. The proposed project which will include three detached second dwelling units which will help to implement various goals, policies and programs for the City's General Plan Housing Element that actively promote the creation of new second units. Specific goals, policies and programs from the Housing Element that will be implemented through the creation of second units within the project including the following: Goal 2: Provide residential densities capable of accommodating housing affordable to extremely low-, low- and very low-income households while taking into account the character and development pattern of the surrounding area. Policy 6: Actively promote the creation of second units on single-family residential lots and their maintenance as sources of housing affordable to moderate-, low-, and very low-income households. Program 38.2: Encourage the development of second units and shared housing in R-1 zoning districts to increase the number of housing units while preserving the visual character within existing neighborhoods of single-family detached homes.
