2. That the development will not be inconsistent with the purpose of the <br />underlying zone or applicable designation in the general plan land <br />use element. <br />The application is being submitted as a Senate Bill No. 330 <br />application. The proposed project and its design and <br />improvements will be consistent with the Urban <br />Neighborhood-50 (UN-50) land use designation of the <br />General Plan and are otherwise consistent with all other <br />elements of the General Plan and any applicable specific <br />plans. The current general plan land use designation for the <br />project site is UN-50 which allows a mix of uses, including <br />medium and medium -high density apartments, townhomes, <br />garden- or motor -court homes, and neighborhood- serving <br />commercial. The proposed density is 18 du/ac and well within <br />the 50 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) maximum allowed under <br />its general plan land use designation. <br />3. That the deviation is necessary to make it economically feasible for <br />the Applicant to utilize a density bonus authorized for the <br />development pursuant to section 41-1603. <br />The proposed project requires six deviations in: (1) <br />frontyard/porch ground floor height, (2) frontyard/porch depth, <br />(3) frontyard/porch width for asymmetrical entry, (4) common <br />open space area; (5) private open space area; (6) private <br />open space dimensions. The six deviations are described as <br />follows: <br />Frontyard/Porch Frontage — Ground Floor Height <br />The development standards in SP-2 require minimum floor <br />heights based on the selected frontage type (e.g., forecourt, <br />shop front, stoop, etc.). The project design proposes a <br />frontyard/porch frontage type and the ground floor heights are <br />proposed below the minimum 10' required. The ground floor <br />height is designed at a minimum of 9'-1" <br />The development's location in a flood zone necessitates <br />raising the site's base flood elevation, directly impacting <br />ground floor -to -ceiling heights. To comply with flood <br />regulations, interior floor levels must be elevated, reducing <br />first -floor ceiling heights. Maintaining the proposed unit count <br />while adhering to these requirements would require a <br />comprehensive site and elevation redesign. This could <br />potentially lead to a reduction in residential units, affecting the <br />project's density and efficiency. <br />Resolution No. 2024-xx <br />Page 3 of 11 <br />
