PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATIONS The PMC Section 18.68.110 sets forth the purposes of the PUD District and considerations to be addressed in reviewing a PUD development plan. These purposes and considerations are set forth in the draft Resolution included as Exhibit A, and includes whether the plan is in conformance with the City's General Plan, in the best interest of public health, safety, and general welfare, and whether the plan would be compatible with developed properties in the vicinity. As described in Exhibit A, and based on the information and analysis provided in this agenda report, staff recommends the Commission make the required findings to recommend approval of the project. PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of this application was sent to surrounding property owners and tenants within a 1,000 -foot radius of the site. At the time this report was published, staff had not received any public comments. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Environmental review for the proposed project was undertaken with the Initial Study/Negative Declaration adopted by the City Council for RZ-97-2 in conformance with the standards of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). There are not substantial changes to the project or the circumstances under which the project is being undertaken that involve new significant environmental effects or that substantially increase the severity of previously identified effects. Furthermore, there is no new information of substantial importance which was unknown at the time the Initial Study/Negative Declaration was adopted by the City Council regarding the project or its effects, mitigation measures, or alternatives. Any previously identified effects or impacts are mitigated to a level of insignificance, with the mitigation measures incorporated into the project's design or imposed on the project pursuant to the conditions of approval. Therefore, no new environmental document accompanies this agenda report. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION Staff has reviewed the subject proposal and believes the proposed density, development standards, architecture, site design, lot configuration, and landscaping are consistent with the General Plan and Zoning programs, policies, and goals including all regulations and design guidelines. Staff also believes the architectural style and design of the new home and accessory buildings are appropriate for the area. Therefore, the project, as conditioned, merits a favorable recommendation by the Planning Commission.
