Amendment Application No. 2005-03 Tentative Parcel Map No. 2005-09 August 22, 2005 Page 3 was minimal. The commercial zoning, which has been in place over 20 years, is not consistent with the Low Density Residential (seven dwelling units per acre) general plan land use designation. A rezoning to Single-Family Residence (Rl) is recommended in order to accommodate the proposed development as well as ensuring conformity between the Land Use Element and the zoning map. One of the goals in the City's Housing Element encourages the maintenance, preservation and revitalization of existing residential neighborhoods and supports quality housing for all economic groups within the community. The proposed zone change will allow the construction of two, new single-family dwelling units on a vacant lot which will help to satisfy the housing demand, as well as encourage the rehabilitation of existing housing in the area. A tentative tract map lS proposed to subdivide the existing .30-acre site into two parcels. The subdivision has been reviewed and is in conformance with the City's subdivision regulations as well as the California Subdivision Map Act. The individual parcels meet the provisions of the zoning code with respect to minimum lot size and street frontage. Further, the proposed subdivision is consistent with the Low Density Residential land use designation and all other elements of the General Plan. In an effort to inform the adj acent property owners of this proj ect, public hearing notices were distributed to property owners within a 300- foot radius of this property. Additionally, the Riverview West Neighborhood Association was contacted and they found the proposed single-family development to be compatible with the existing residential neighborhood. In summary, the proposed Single-Family Residence (Rl) zoning district is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of Low Density Residential (LR7) as well as the Housing Element to promote a range of suitable housing stock and preserve the integrity and character of neighborhoods. In addition, the tentative parcel map was found to be in conformance with the City's subdivision regulations as well as the California Subdivision Map Act. As a result, staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve Amendment Application No. 2005-03 and Tentative Parcel Map No. 2005-09 (County Map No. 2002-144) as conditioned (Exhibits 8 and 9) . 75A-4
