Black Avenue. If this amendment is not approved, the proposed 34 unit residential plan PUD-95-04 could not be approved because it would not conform to the General Plan. Ms. Kline reviewed for the Commission the non-viable and viable land use designations for the site. Since it does not appear to be in the School District's plan to use the Del Prado site as a school site, staff believes it is in the area's best interest to change the land use designation to MDR which should have the least impact on the existing neighborhood. Ms. Kline went on to speak to two scenarios regarding the location of future schools and student generation rates. Staff is acknowledging that it does not appear to be in the School Board's plan to reduce the enrollments at Donlon and Walnut Grove by building a school in Del Prado, therefore, staff is recommending the Planning Commission redesignate the site as "Medium Density Residential. " Part 2 Ms. Kline referred the Commission to the memos distributed at the beginning of the meeting regarding a new traffic study and revised square footage figures of the units. The proposed application for a Planned Unit Development rezoning and development plan approval includes 34 single-family detached homes, ranging in lot size from 6,500 sq. ft to 11,143 sq. f1., with an average lot size of 7800 sq. f1. There are four proposed house models, ranging in size from 1900 sq. f1. to 2600 sq. f1., one one-story model, and three two-story models. There will be two new city streets constructed, Calle Ricardo and Corte Margarita, designed to facilitate both sidewalks and street parking on both sides. After a neighborhood meeting held in July, 1995, New Cities revised their plan from 36 units to 34 units taking into consideration neighborhood concerns. A public hearing was held by the Parks and Recreation Commission which approved the concept of the land swap. Public comments revolved around (1) whether the southern end of the park would remain of sufficient size to accommodate a soccer field (a conceptual plan does show that a soccer field will fit in this area), and (2) the impact of the project on traffic. A traffic study shows the 34 homes will add 340 vehicle trips per day, with approximately 252 projected onto Hansen and the remaining 88 onto Black Avenue. The study also suggested two-way stop signs be installed at both ends of Calle Ricardo. Other issues to be considered by the Commission are: . The General Plan Steering Committee's recommended density for non-exemplary housing projects is 2-4 units per acre. Therefore, if this project is to comply with that recommendation, four units must be deleted. Further, the Commission would have to add a condition of approval.
