VTTM No. 2015 -01 June 22, 2015 Page 3 Proiect Background In October 2014, the City Council adopted the Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Specific Plan, which replaced the North Harbor Specific Plan and allows for a greater amount of residential, commercial, and mixed -use projects in the Specific Plan area. In anticipation of the Specific Plan's adoption, the applicant submitted plans for a mixed -use community on the project site. After working with staff to comply with the provisions of the Harbor Plan, the applicant moved forward with the current proposal, which provides a traditional single - family neighborhood character to assist with blending in with current development patterns in the project vicinity. General Plan and Zoning Analysis The General Plan land use designation for the site is Urban Neighborhood (UN). Urban Neighborhood land -use districts allow a mix of residential uses and housing types, such as low to mid -rise multiple family dwellings, townhouses and single family dwellings, with some opportunities for live -work, neighborhood serving retail and service, public spaces and uses, and other amenities. The project site is consistent with this General Plan land use designation. The project site is located within the Corridor district of the Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Specific Plan (SP -2). The Specific Plan allows for residential developments, making the subject application consistent with the zoning designation. Proiect Analysis Vesting tentative tract map requests are governed by Section 34 -119 through 34 -318 of the SAMC.
