designated for LDR land uses which, when averaged with these sites, would achieve the 1 du/ac citywide average for this land use designation; and 3. Parkland, open space, and trails were already in place and available in the area to offset the greater number of units. These facilities included the five -acre neighborhood park at the end of Martin Avenue and the 150 -foot -wide buffer area located between Martin Avenue and the gravel quarry. Furthermore, the analysis concluded that affordable housing, which is recommend by the General Plan, was not feasible with large -lot, single-family developments in this area. Thus, the proposed density, although slightly above the mid -point, is consistent with that conferred at the time of the PUD-LDR zoning adopted by the City, with no additional community benefit required, also consistent with the City Council's approval. Staff also notes a similar approach was taken with the virtually identical approval at 2201 Martin Avenue (PUD -97). A detailed analysis and discussion of the proposed project including discussion of consistency with the General Plan and zoning, site design, building design, landscaping, fencing, noise, etc. are included in the attached Planning Commission agenda report, Attachment 4. As detailed in the Planning Commission staff report, staff and the Commission concluded the proposed siting of the new dwelling and site improvements is consistent with applicable density and development standards. The Commission further found the design of the project to be consistent with the nearby streetscape, it would provide adequate off-street parking, and it would be appropriately scaled, and compatible with the neighborhood. Although concerns were raised by some neighbors with respect to a complete sidewalk on the east side of Dennis Drive, a recommended condition of approval has been added requiring the sidewalk along the project frontage be complete prior to occupancy of the new home. Furthermore, the Commission recommended the City Council prioritize a CIP to complete the sidewalk along the frontage of 3520 Dennis Drive. Growth Management Aqreement The City's Growth Management Ordinance (GMO) regulates the number of residential building permits that can be issued each year to ensure a predictable growth rate while providing housing. The GMO currently allows a total of 235 Growth Management Unit Allocations (GMUAs) to be issued per year. The subject lot has an existing single-family residence and thus one GMUA allocated to it. The proposal is to add one additional single-family residence. As such, the net increase on the lot is two single-family homes, which is within the total allocation available for 2021. Attachment 2 is the draft resolution for approval of the Growth Management Agreement.
