ITEM EXPLANATION This item is a request to formally revise the density ranges shown on the City's Land Use Plan. This is one of the initial steps in implementing the Citizens Committee recommendations which were made earlier this year when the Land Use Element w reviewed. The recommendation regarding densities has already been reviewed and conceptually approved by the City Council. Early next year, a completely revised text of the Land Use Element will be proposed which will incorporate other land us changes recommended by the Committee. The revised density ra would result in an overall reduction and narrowing of the ranges. The Planning Commission is recommending three changes to the Citizens Committee proposal: 1) Fractions have been deleted; 2) The low end of the RL and RLM ranges has been reduce 3) The upper end of the RM range has been reduced from to 0; 8 dwelling units per acre. A comparison of the existing ranges, the Citizens Committee proposal and the Planning Commission recommendation is as follows : CITIZENS COMMITTEE PLAJWiING COMMISS EXISTING RECOMMENDATION RECOMMENDATION RL 0 to 1.5 .1 to 1.5 0 to 1.5 RLM 0 to 4 1.0 to 4.0 0 to 4 RM 4 to 10 4.1 to 9 4 to 8 RMH 10 to 20 9.1 to 15 8 to 15 RH 20 to 30 15.1 to 23 15 to 23 RVH 30 to 40 Delete Delete The Planning Commission recommendation to reduce the upper en of the RM range from 9 to 8 was approved by a 4-3 vote. Following that vote, the Commission voted 6-1 to approve the revised ranges in total as proposed by the Planning Commissio 0 W Page Two of Agenda Bill No. W/O Although staff had deferred to the proposal by the Citizens Committee in making its recommendation to the Planning Commission, staff does support the ranges as recommended by the Planning Commission. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Land Use Planning Manager has determined that this amendme: will not cause any significant environmental impacts and, therefore, has issued a Negative Declaration, dated September 28, 1985. The Planning Commission recommended approval on October 9, 1985. A copy of the environmental document is on file in the Planning Department. FISCAL IMPACT Mone.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND DISCUSSION This item is a request to revise the density ranges as shown on the City's Land Use Plan. The revision will make the ranges consistent with the recommendation of the Citizens Committee which reviewed the Land Use Element of the General Plan earlier this year. This is one of the initial steps in implementing the Citizens Committee recommendations. The recommendation regarding densities has been reviewed and conceptually approved by the City Council. Early next year, a revised text of the Land Use Element will be proposed which will incorporate other land use changes recommended by the Committee. The revised density ranges as recommended by the Committee would result in an overall reduction and narrowing of the ranges. A comparison of the existing and revised ranges would be as follows: --4 EXISTING REVISED RL 0 to 1.5 .1 to 1.5 RLM 0 to 4 1.0 to 4.0 RM 4 to 10 4.1 to 9.0 RMH 10 to 20 9.1 to 15.0 RH 20 to 30 15.1 to 23.0 RVH 30 to 40 DELETE Staff still believes that the fractions should not be used in the density ranges and that perhaps the RM range has not been reduced and narrowed enough. Staff, however, is deferring to the recommendations of the Citizens Committee. a w 111. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Land Use Planning Manager has determined that this General Plan Amendment will not have a significant impact on the environment and, therefore, has issued a Negative Declaration or September 28, 1985.
