PROPERTY OWNER: Michael Aminian/Vineyard Garden, LLC GENERAL PLAN: High Density Residential -Greater than eight dwelling units per gross acre ZONING: RM-4,000 (Multiple-Family Residential) District SUMMARY The applicant proposes to remove the existing single-family residence and accessory structures on the site and to construct ten (10) townhouse units in two buildings and a common open area between the buildings. The General Plan land use designation for the subject site is High Density Residential (greater than eight dwelling units per gross acre). The proposed project, with ten units on an approximately 0.876-acre site, would result in a density of 11.36 units per acre and is therefore consistent with the underlying land use designation. Although not required by the City's Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance (IZO), the applicant has voluntarily dedicated one of the townhouses as abelow-market rate (BMR) unit. The Housing Commission has reviewed the proposal and unanimously recommended approval of the Affordable Housing Agreement to the City Council. The proposed buildings are two-story buildings with the end units oriented to the streets. Except for the BMR unit that has asingle-car garage, each unit has a traditional two-car garage. The proposed design scheme consists of varied wall articulations, architectural detailing, and color palette.
