General Plan Amendment No. 2007-02 <br />Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2007-03 <br />Ordinance Amendment No. 2007-01 <br />June 11, 2007 <br />Page 4 <br />General Plan Amendment <br />The general plan amendment will amend the Land Use Element of the <br />General Plan. The Land Use Element will contain a Policy Goal that will <br />allow the City to support condominium subdivisions projects based on the <br />site complying with the current development standards. Additionally, <br />Policy 2.8 of the Land Use Element will be modified to encourage <br />rehabilitation of both commercial and industrial properties. <br />Zoning Ordinance Amendment <br />In order to create development standards, staff will amend Chapter 41 of <br />the SAMC. These standards will allow the City to require condominium <br />projects to upgrade the project site in order to comply with the current <br />City standards. This will help to address any life and safety issues, <br />long term maintenance of the site, and to ensure that the project site <br />maintains its economic vitality. <br />Ordinance Amendment <br />This will create the process for the approval of a non-residential <br />condominium subdivision. As there are no current processes for this <br />type of development, the City will create the requirement of a non- <br />residential condominium development permit within Chapter 34 of the <br />SAMC. This permit will be required prior to the approval of any <br />subdivision maps for condominium purposes. Additionally, all non- <br />residential condominium maps will require the review and approval of the <br />Planning Commission and City Council. <br />Policy 2.8 of the General Plan land use element indicates that the City <br />should promote rehabilitation of commercial properties, and encourage <br />increased levels of capital investment. The City should create standards <br />that focus on what on-site improvements need to be completed with the <br />subdivision in order to create a completely upgraded project site. <br />Additionally, Policy 5.11 of the Land Use Element encourages developments <br />that provide a clean and safe environment for the City's residents, <br />workers and visitors. By creating standards that aid in the maintenance <br />of the site, the City will create developments that minimize the potential <br />for safety hazards. Therefore, staff recommends that the Planning <br />Commission recommend that the City Council approve General Plan Amendment <br />No. 2007-02, Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2007-03 and Ordinance <br />Amendment No. 2007-O1. <br />75A-5 <br />
