41h and Mortimer CEQA Addendum October 12, 2020 Page 2 of 2 The requirements of this Article shall apply to any new Residential Project proposed in connection with an application to do any of the following: (1) Increase the permitted residential density of the subject property above the density permitted by applicable zoning at the time of the application. The inclusionary requirement shall only apply to the incremental increase in the number of units beyond that which is allowed by the applicable zoning. (2) Increase in the permitted residential density or percentage of residential development allowed due to the City initiated zone changes after November28, 2011." (Sec.41-1902(b)) Block B of the Project is inconsistent with the zoning, massing and density allowed by the current General Plan and Zoning. The UN-2 zoning allows single-family duplexes, triplexes and quadraplexes, courtyard housing and rowhouses. UN-2 does not allow "lined block buildings" such as proposed by the Project. (Addendum 2-11). The Project exceeds the massing allowed in the UN-2 zone and therefore requires a variance from section 41-2023 of the zoning code. In particular, UN-2 requires that floors 3-5 of a building may cover no more than 85% of the ground floor, but the project proposes 100% coverage. (Addendum 2-11). The Project exceeds the density allowed in UN-2. UN-2 allows density of up to 50 dwelling units per acres, but the Project proposes 54 DU/acres. (Addendum 3.6-5). For these reasons, the Project proposes to rezone the property from UN-2 to Urban Center (UC). Since the Project requires amendments to the zoning that will increase the residential density allowed by the General Plan and Zoning code, the HOO applies to the Project and the developer must be required to provide affordable housing. Since the Project includes no affordable housing, it must be rejected by the City. Richard Toshiyuki Drury LOZEAU DRURY LLP 75C-284
