Amendment Application No. 2007-02 Site Plan Review No. 2007-02 Tentative Tract Map No. 2007-04 September 10, 2007 Page 5 On May 14th, the Planning Commission had a study session on the project. The main issues raised by the Commission related to street trees on the residential street, landscaping along the Fairview Street and Alton Avenue perimeters and pedestrian access to the adjacent commercial center. The applicant revised the plans and addressed the Commission's concerns by providing canopy trees along the residential street, enhancing and upgrading the tree and shrub palette at the project perimeter, and will install a secured pedestrian gate at the west side of the open space. The proposed project will enhance the image of the city through the development of a single-family residential project and will provide a positive reinforcement of the city's image around the county. The project will also provide a direct benefit to the community by providing additional housing opportunities in the city. Finally, the project will achieve many goals and policies of the City's General Plan by assisting in the development of a single-family project that promotes the community and by encouraging the development of a variety of residential land uses. As a result, staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of Amendment Application No. 2007-02, Specific Development Plan No. 81 and Tentative Tract Map No. 2007-04 as conditioned (Exhibits 10, 11 and 12).
