General Plan Program 10.1: Use planned unit development (PUD) zoning for residential properties that have unique characteristics or to accommodate development that does not fit under standard zoning classifications. Zoning: The site is zoned PUD-LDR, which, per the PMC, would require development standards for the project to be established as part of the PUD development plan. 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 2. As proposed, the project would promote General Plan goals, policies, and programs related to encouraging appropriate infill development, and would allow reuse of a vacant and underutilized parcel that is adjacent to existing residential development. As detailed in the Planning Commission agenda report, staff and the Commission concluded the proposed siting of the new dwelling and site improvements are consistent with applicable density and development standards. The Commission further found the design of the project to be consistent with the nearby streetscape, that it would provide adequate off-street parking, and would be appropriately scaled and compatible with the neighborhood. Growth Management Aareement The City's Growth Management Ordinance (GMO) regulates the number of residential building permits that can be issued each year to assure 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 proposal is to add one single-family residence. As such, the net increase on the lot is one single-family home, which would be within the total allocation available for 2022. Condition of approval No. 6 of Exhibit A in Attachment 1 requires the property owner to secure Growth Management approval prior to obtaining construction permits. PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of this application was sent to surrounding property owners and tenants within a 1,000 -foot radius of the site and published in the newspaper. The noticing map is included as Exhibit C in Attachment 2. At the time this report was published, staff has not received any public comments.
