Resolution No. PC-9S-84 Page 3 PUD FINDINGS FOR CASE PUD-95-06 1. The plan is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and general welfare. The proposed senior housing development would meet City standards for street improvements and utility design. Adequate storm drain, sanitary sewer, and water serVlce utilities are present in the area surrounding the development. The developer also will provide the remaining single-family home-owner, now using a septic system, with a sanitary sewer lateral and hook-up to the City's public system. The project will not generate volumes of traffic which cannot be accommodated by existing City streets and intersections in the area. The project incorporates several mitigation measures designed to offset the impacts of the proposed development on surrounding properties (including ample new landscaping, fencing, orientation of units, location of parking, etc.). Adequate access would be provided to all structures and units for police, fire and other emergency response vehicles. The apartments would be designed to meet the requirements of the UBC and other applicable City codes. The project also would provide affordable rental housing for seniors, of which there is an inadequate supply in the City. 2. The plan is consistent with the City's General Plan. The proposed project would change the zoning district of this property from the R-1-20,000 district to the PUD-HDR district. This change in the zoning would allow implementation of the proposed underlying land use designation of High Density Residential. If the proposed General plan Amendment is approved, this project would be consistent with the General Plan land use designation for the site. If the proposed General Plan land use designation is not approved, no development proposing units at a density greater than 8 du/acre could be approved since it would not be consistent with the General Plan. The current zoning permits large-lot single family development, while the new zoning would permit high density, multi-family attached development such as the proposed senior housing, as well as other types of high density residential development. No specific density is associated with the PUD-HDR zoning, although approval of a development plan in conjunction with the rezoning permits that particular development with that particular density and housing product. The proposed 97-unit senior apartments would have a density of about 33.7 units/acre, which is more than double any other existing high density residential developments in the area.
