The proposed project, with five units on approximately 0.24 acres, would result in 20.8 units per acre and is therefore consistent with the underlying land use designation. Both the General Plan land use designation and the Downtown Specific Plan designation for the subject site are High Density Residential (greater than eight dwelling units per gross acre). Located at the corner of the site, the existing house is considered a historic resource of secondary importance and serves to anchor the rowhouse development. The four new homes are two-story detached residences located over two-car garages. The homes have individually designed facades incorporating heritage architectural detailing and color palette. The proposed high-density residential development provides a smooth transition between Downtown's commercial and west side residential districts.
