I . RECOMMENDATION That the Design Review Board recommend APPROVAL of the Negative Declaration issued by the Planning Director and ADOPT Resolution No. 074, recommending APPROVAL of RP 85-17, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant is requesting a major redevelopment permit to develop a mixed use office/residential project located as described above. The proposal would entail the development of a 496 square foot office structure, (along tne first floor) a 560 square foot one story apartment unit located above it, and a 1,260 square foot, two story, two bedroom apartment unit attached along the south wall of the office. Seven onsite parking spaces will be provided, including, two tuckunder parking spaces and five open spaces, which will be located within the rear of the lot. The subject property is zoned V-R (Village Redevelopment). It is level, currently vacant and is sometimes used as an illegal parking lot. The properties to the north, south and west are zoned V-R and developed with single-family residences. The property to the east is zoned R-3 and is developed with a single family residence. This project is exempted from the moratorium because it is a redevelopment project. III. ANALYSIS Planning Issues 1. Does the proposed project conform with the goals of Subarea 7 of the Village Redevelopment area? 2. Does the project comply with the development standards of Subarea 7 of the Village Redevelopment area. 3. Is the proposed project's design consistent with the Design Guidelines for Subarea 7? DISCUSSION The proposed project is located within the southernmost portion of Subarea 7 of the Village Redevelopment area. The primary goal of this subarea is "to permit and encourage mixed uses among residential and service commercial/office uses". More specifically, uses permitted in Subarea 7 include those uses permitted in the R-3 and R-P Zones. The project as proposed, includes a mixed use office/residential project. This use is in conformance with the primary goal for Subarea 7 and is also a use that would be allowed within the R-P Zone. The project as proposed is also consistent with the development standards of Subarea 7 of the Village Redevelopment area. All project setbacks, and heigth restrictions will be consistent with the R-P Zone. The project's residential density (two dwelling units on a 7,000 sq. ft. lot) will be 12.5 du/ac. This is consistent with a maximum allowable density of 20 du/ac allowed by the R-P Zone. Parking will be provided at a ratio of one space/300 square feet for the 496 square foot office, two spaces for the one bedroom unit and three spaces for the two bedroom unit. The seven parking spaces proposed, are in compliance with the number of parking spaces required by the City's revised parking standards. The design guidelines for Subarea 7 encourage mixed uses whereby, second story residential units are located over commercial/office uses. The guidelines also encourage interesting architectural treatments, enhanced landscaping and adequate offstreet parking. The proposed project has been designed to incorporate all of those design recommendations. The project's architecture will entail a "contemporary village style". Structural materials will include a slate blue-grey shake roof, with tan shingle siding coupled with horizontal wooden bands. Second story balconies and muntin windows will provide added architectural relief. The landscaping, yard and tiled patio areas along the project's frontage as proposed, will function to enhance the aesthetics of the project. In summary, since the proposed project (1) conforms with the goals of Subarea 7, (2) complies with the development standards of Subarea 7 and is consistent with the design guidelines of Subarea 7, staff is willing to recommend approval of RP 85-17.
