detached and attached single - family homes, duplexes, townhouses, condominiums, and apartments) under the High Density designation. During the Work Session, the applicant was proposing 12 dwelling units on the St. John Street site, which resulted in a density of 16.4 dwelling units per acre (du /ac), consistent with the High Density Residential land use designation of the site in the General Plan and Downtown Specific Plan. The Commission was supportive of this density. The current application has 11 dwelling units (the existing home and 10 new townhomes) on the 0.73 -acre subject site. This proposal results in a density of 15 dwelling units per acre, which is also consistent with the High Density Residential land use designation of the General Plan and Downtown Specific Plan. Zoning and Site Development Standards The property is currently zoned RM -1,500 (Multi - Family Residential) District and located in the Core Area Overlay District. During the Work Session, it was noted that the project would need to be rezoned to a PUD district to allow for modified development standards as the project would include 11 for sale dwelling units that do not adhere to the development standards for the RM District or multi - family housing projects in the Core Area Overlay District, the latter of which applies to projects with 10 or fewer rental units. Table 1 outlines the requirements of the RM -1,500 District and comparing them to what is formally being proposed for a recommendation to City Council. Please note that although the density has been reduced (12 to 11 units) and the historic home has been incorporated within the development plan, the changes did not alter the development standards of the townhomes (noted as Plan 1 or Plan 2 in Table 1) that were proposed at the Work Session.
