Exhibits 9a, 9b, and 9c show a rendering of the proposed project <br />as viewed from the intersection of Stoneridge Mall Road (east) and Stoneridge Mall Road (south). <br />2.2.1 - Density Bonus <br />Government Code 65915 outlines Density Bonuses and Other Incentives for development of <br />affordable housing units.12 As described above, the project site was identified as part of a larger <br />housing opportunity site and given the land use designation and rezoned for “PUD–Mixed-Use,” with <br />a residential density of 40 units/acre.13,14,15 Because at least 24 percent of the base units 16 would be <br />units deed-restricted for low-income households, in accordance with Government Code 65915, the <br />proposed project qualifies for a 50 percent density bonus over the 6-acre site, resulting in 360 units <br />(60 units/acre). <br />State Density Bonus Law also allows for waivers of Design Guidelines that would physically preclude <br />the construction of the development consistent with the density bonus. For example, while the <br />Design Guidelines limit building height to 5 stories and 65 feet, the requested waiver would allow for <br />a 5.5-story (maximum 65 feet tall) building to accommodate the proposed project’s density. A <br />second waiver request would also eliminate the requirement that at least a minimum of 75 percent <br />of ground floor units (within 5 feet of grade) would have to provide entries onto any street, internal <br />street, paseo (walk), or open space (including corridor buildings). <br />The proposed project also requests certain incentives related to parking, in accordance with the <br />State’s Density Bonus Law. The proposed parking incentives are discussed in Section 1.3.4 below. <br />2.2.2 - Landscaping <br />Landscaped outdoor space and pedestrian circulation areas would surround the building, some of <br />which will be accessible to the public. This space would be designed for aesthetic appeal and is <br />intended to enhance and complement building entrances and the façade as a whole, and to facilitate <br />circulation around the buildings (Exhibit 10). Incorporated into the proposed landscaping would be <br /> <br />12 California Government Code. Title 7. Planning and Land Use [65000-66499.58]. Division 1.
