General Plan Amendment No. 2005-02 Amendment Application No. 2005-06 September 26, 2005 Page 2 Analysis of the Issues In 1990, the approval of General Plan Amendment No. 90-9 redesignated a number of properties throughout the city to the Institutional (INS) general plan designation to be consistent with existing school and public facilities uses. The City Council also approved zoning Amendment Application No. 1052 changing the zoning district to Open Space (0) to be consistent with the newly established Institutional (INS) land use designation boundaries. At that time, the construction of the Sepulveda Elementary School west of Bristol Street and north of St. Andrew Place was anticipated and included in the citywide General Plan and zoning amendment. Subsequently, it has been determined that the area designated as Institutional (INS) and Open Space (0) zoning for Sepulveda Elementary School do not correctly reflect the build-out of the school nor the surrounding land uses. The catalyst for this clean up is a request by the property owner at 1305 West St. Andrew Place to construct an addition to his single family home. As detailed in the Zoning Code (Section 41.681.4), structural alterations or additions may only be made to an existing single-family or two-family dwelling if the property is located in a residential zone, with the exception of the Professional (P) zoning district. Thus, the owner is unable to proceed with an addition until the zoning of his property located on the north site of St. Andrew Place is changed from the Open Space (0) to Single Family Residential (R1). Exhibits 3 and 4 locate the properties within the project area proposed to be amended to the General Plan land use designation and zones that are compatible with the existing land uses and the long term vision for development. Exhibit 5 provides a table providing additional detail regarding the proposal and the affected properties. The proposed proj ect area is in the Shadow Run neighborhood. All the affected property owners within the project area, as well as property owners within 300 feet of the project, have been notified of this public hearing and proposed land use actions. The proposed actions will result in consistency between the General Plan land use designations, zoning district and existing land uses in the project area. Based on the above analysis and the resulting land use consistency, approval is recommended of General Plan Amendment No. 2005-02 and Amendment Application No. 2005-06. 75A-3
