more than two (2) vehicles per unit. They urged that sufficient parking be provided on-si':e, including parking for guests and parking for residents who have more than two vehicles. The current plans reflect the incorporation of the tot lot, which has resulted in the total guest parking spaces being reduced from 13 to 12. The proposed guest parking does exceed the number of guest parking spaces required by the parking ordinance for multiple- family development (seven guest parking spaces would be required by the parking ordinance for this type of project). As previously mentioned, the subject site is surrounded by high-density residential developments to the east and to the west. The residents of the neighboring apartment complex indicated that they have a parking shortage within their own development and, as a result of their own parking situation, have parked on the streets of the surrounding neighborhoods and on the south side of Vineyard Avenue. Staff notes that the parking enforcement would be the responsibility of the homeowners association and/or the management company for the project. The enforcement measures would be addressed in the CC&R's. Affordabi/itv The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan holding capacity by proposing 45 units, which is four units more than the General Plan midpoint of 41 units. The General Plan does not provide an upper density limit for High Density Residential zoning district. The project density equates to 16 dwelling units per acre. The City's Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance requires that new multiple-family residential projects of 15 units or more provide 15 percent of the project's dwelling units to be affordable to very-Iow-, low-, and/or moderate-income households. This project proposes 45 units, and of these, seven units are to be below-market-rate (BMR) units. The seven affordable units include four two-bedroom units and three three-bedroom units. Five of the seven BMR units are for low-income and two for moderate-income levels. The applicant has agreed to enter into an Affordable Housing Agreement that has been reviewed by the Housing Commission. The proposed development also provides five "affordable by design" units. All of the "affordable by design" units are two-bedroom units. The price of the "affordable by design" units would be between the below-market-rate units and the market-rate units. Although these five units would not meet the City's affordability threshold, their smaller size would enable them to be sold at a lower price than the other non-regulated units in the project, thus meeting 0ther Housing Element goals. This effort equals a total of 12 units being added to the City's stock of below-market-rate housing. Housinf! Commission The Housing Commission reviewed the preliminary plans on August 18, 2005 and noted the importance of this lot as one of the last opportunities for high-density, infill development within SR:06:060 Page 8
