located between Martin Avenue and the gravel quarry. Furthermore, the analysis concluded that affordable housing, which is recommended 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, consistent with the City Council's approval. Staff also notes a similar approach was taken with the virtually identical approvals of 2201 Martin Avenue (PUD -97), 2207 Martin Avenue (PUD -140), and 2215 Martin Avenue (PUD - 141). 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 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, it would provide adequate off-street parking, and it would be appropriately scaled, and compatible with the neighborhood. Growth Management Agreement 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 two single-family residences. As such, the net increase on the lot is two single-family homes, which is within the total allocation available for 2022. Attachment 3 is the draft resolution for approval of the Growth Management Agreement. 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 4. At the time this report was published, staff has 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 no substantial changes to the project or the circumstances under which the project is being undertaken that involve new significant environmental effects or that substantially Page 9 of 10
