STATEMENT OF T
This item is a request for a zone change on four parcels from R-1 to RD-M-Q on
approximately 1/2 acre of land located as described above. The subject site is
located between a professional office complex to the west and single family
residences to the east. The site is now occupied by older single family
dwellings.
The Planning Commission has found that this zone change meets all the mandatory
findings for approval. During the public hearing, two adjacent residents
expressed an interest in rezoning their property to the RD-M zone. No other
public opposition was received during the Planning Commisison hearings.
Through staff review and Planning Commission hearing, all issues on this matter
have been satisfactorily resolved.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Planning Director has determined that this project will not cause any
significant environmental impacts and, therefore, has issued a Negative
Declaration, dated June 15, 1981, which was approved by the Planning Commission
on June 24, 1981. A copy of the environmental documents is on file in the
Planning Department.
FISCAL IMPACT
The applicant will provide all required public improvements to the project.
Also, the applicant has agreed to pay a public facilities fee to offset the
costs of providing all other public services.
RECOMMENDATION

Oak Avenue and Pine Avenue, 1 lot east of Pio Pico
Avenue.

II ANALYSIS
Planning Issues
1) Is the proposed RDM-Q zone consistent with the R-M
(4-10 du/ac) designation ot the General Plan?
2) Are uses allowed in the RDM-Q zone compatible with
surrounding land use and zoning?
3) Will the amount of traffic generated by uses allowed
in the RDM-Q zone adversely impact the street
circulation system in this vicinity? •
Discussion
The subject site is designated as R-M, Medium Density Residential
which provides for dwelling units within a density range of 4-10
units per acre. The RDM zone is consistent with this land use
desig- nation because this zone allows multi-family development
.at this density. Staff can therefore find this zone change to be
consistent with the Land Use Element ot the General Plan.
The property surrounding this development consists of older
single family dwellings to the east, a professional office
building to the west, professional offices to the north and a
public park to the south. Staff believes that a well designed
multi-family development would provide a good land use buffer
-between the professional offices to the west and the single
family homes to the east. The Q overlay designation requires the
submittal of a site development plan prior to development of the
property. The site development plan would further ensure a pro-
ject that was designed to be compatible with the surrounding area
and not impact adjacent single family residences. Staff can find
that uses allowed in the RDM-Q zone would be compatible with the
surrounding land uses.
A concern with regard to approval of this zone change is the
potential impacts created by the additional traffic generated by
uses allowed in the RDM-Q zone. The proposed zone could generate
approximately twice as much traffic as presently is generated by
uses allowed on the site. Taken by itself, the request for a
rezone of this property would not create significant traffic
impacts. Since approximately 10 acres of surrounding parcels are
designated RM and could later be rezoned to a higher density des-
ignation, there could be significant cumulative traffic impacts.
- Specifically, the intersection of Elm Avenue and Pio Pico Avenue
would be impacted by this development and future development of
multi-dwellings on surrounding parcels.
The city's traffic consultant has reviewed the request and indi-
cated that the traffic impacts created by development of all 10
acres of the RM designated area at the maximum density could be
significant. He stated, however, that the impacts would be less-
ened because peak traffic volumes of residential development
would not conflict with peak traffic volumes generated by profes-
sional and commercial development along Pio Pico Avenue. He con-
cluded that the problem of traffic impacts, by itself, would not
justify a denial of the proposed request.
Overall, staff believes the zone change is consistent with the
general plan and that it will not adversely impact surrounding
properties, therefore, staff is recommending approval.
III. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEVJ
The Planning Director has determined that this project will not
• have a significant impact on the environment and, therefore, has
Issued a Negative Declaration on June 15, 1981.
IV. RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission approve the
Negative Declaration issued by the Planning Director and adopt
-2-
Resolution No. 1823 recommending APPROVAL of ZC-237 to the City
Council based on the findings and subject to the conditions
contained therein.
