MND No. 2015-14, GPA No. 2017-03, TTM No. 2017-04 and VAR No. 2017-10 <br />June 4, 2019 <br />Page 2 <br />use designation of the properties at 2935 to 3109 West Edinger Avenue to Medium Density <br />Residential (MR-15), Tentative Tract Map No. 2017-04 to allow the 17-unit development to be for <br />sale units and Variance No. 2017-10 to allow an increase in building height, reduction in the front <br />yard setbacks, modifications to required private open space, and modifications to the floor plans. <br />The Planning Commission recommended that a Tentative Tract Map condition be amended, to <br />implement a resident parking management program incorporating the use of parking stickers on <br />vehicles registered to the site (Exhibit A). <br />DISCUSSION <br />General Plan Amendment <br />The 1.22-acre property at 3025 West Edinger Avenue is currently designated as Low Density <br />Residential (LR-7), which allows a maximum density of seven dwelling units per acre. The intent <br />of the low density designation is to allow for the development of single-family homes. However, <br />the zoning for the site (R-2) allows for two-family dwellings and townhomes. The applicant is <br />requesting a General Plan Amendment to Medium Density Residential (MR-15) which would <br />allow a maximum of 15 dwelling units per acre (18 units for a 1.22-acre site). The associated <br />development project is a 17-unit townhome project (14 dwelling units per acre) which is <br />consistent with the MR-15 prescribed density. <br />The Planning Division is proposing to amend the land use designation of four adjacent properties <br />to the east (2935, 3007, 3013, and 3019 West Edinger Avenue) to also be Medium Density <br />Residential (MR-15), which will be consistent with the existing multi -family uses. The amendment <br />will create a block of MR-15 properties which will encourage a cohesive development pattern. <br />Additionally, the amendment supports planning practices to use multi -family uses as a buffer <br />between single-family dwellings and to focus higher intensity uses and development along <br />arterial roadways such as Edinger Avenue (Exhibit C). <br />Figure 1: Existing General Plan Mao <br />0 MV6HRO TV_ <br />jjjpppggg^^^--- ooRc__-iiiwo�v � <br />MNGERA%rMUE <br />Figure 2: Proposed General Plan Map <br />S-[LOfRAV � ]I a�jC 1` <br />ouRCHAao nv"" e <br />EOINGER AVENUE <br />Note: Subject properties shown in blue. <br />® LR-7 (Low Density Residential) ® MR-15 (Medium Density Residential) <br />75H-2 <br />
