density of 14.8 dwelling units per acre, consistent with the High Density Residential land use designation of the site in the General Plan and Downtown Specific Plan. The following are General Plan and Downtown Specific Plan policies applicable to the proposed project. General Plan — Land Use Policy 4: Allow development consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map. Downtown Specific Plan — Residential Land Use. LD-P.45: Encourage development at densities which generally exceed the General Plan range midpoints in order to enhance the opportunities for affordable housing, unique housing types, and economic growth in the Downtown. Additionally, since the project is within the Downtown Specific Plan area, the Downtown Design Guidelines also apply to the subject property which provide direction on building location, height and mass, design, landscaping, etc. The project complies with the Downtown Specific Plan and meets the Downtown Design Guidelines in terms of building location, height and mass, design, landscaping, and other requirements as described further in this report. Consistency with Zoning District Regulations The project is within the RM-1,500 and Core Area Overlay Districts. The purpose of the Core Area Overlay District is to facilitate the development of smaller multi-family projects containing 10 rental units or less, such as the proposed project, by modifying some of the development standards. The Core Area Overlay requires a minimum of 50 square feet of private open space for each bedroom in units with two or more bedrooms. However, it does not require group open space and provides some relief from typical parking standards (i.e., no visitor spaces are required, and all spaces can be uncovered). Consistency with the site development requirements is detailed in Table 1.

She requested more data on the expenditure of funding and what percentage was directed at adding more housing versus the other programs, because HCD was looking at the number of built units. She stated it was worth exploring a housing overlay zone but the ordinance should align with State law for short term.

Ms. Clark explained the basis for the inclusionary zoning requirement, and the amount of the low-income housing fee were different and therefore, there was a disjuncture between the two fees (i.e. the in-lieu fee does not cover 100 % of the cost of constructing an affordable unit).
