In April of this year the Planning Carmission amsidered a general plan amendmnt to change 85 acres of residential low (RL 0-1.5 du's/ac) and residential low-medium density (RLM 0-4 du's/ac) to RLM and oamnercial (C), 6 acres. Staff and the Planning Cannission recamended denial of this request based on traffic, land use ampatibility and mise. The City Council heard the appeal on June 5 and suggested an alternative land use &ich included RLM on the southerly portion of the property and 20 acres of office (0) on the northerly.
portion. They returned the item to the Planning Carmission for a report.
At the Planning CamcIssion meeting of June 27, the applicant praposed another alternative. This alternative would change the entire 85 acre site to RLM (0-4) on the general plan. The axing would be residential for the southern 65 acres and the Open Space Zone on the northern 20 acres (refer to Exhibit "A"). Under this configuration the applicant could use the density for the entire 85 acres but would cluster it on the southern 65 acres. The planned developnent ordinance could be utilized to build attached units if the applicant desired. The Planning Camrissicm recannended that ZC-278 be referred back to staff to prapose mning which wld appropriately inplement this new proposal.
The Planning Carmission felt that the applicant's -sal is a Qood land use for the site. Staff still feels that the existing general plan is the best use for the site. Staff does feel however, that this new alternative is mrkable because it does provide for developnent on the southern portion of the site away fran the portion of the property mst impacted by the airport. The northern portion of the site muld be used t~ fulfill the cpen space requirements for the
future residential project. It also leaves the bluff area as the logical break between residential use on the mesa and =-residential uses along Palanar Airport I&&.
