GPA No., 2017-01, AA No. 2017-01 May 22, 2017 Page 5 Amendment Application The subject site is split between the Community Commercial (C-1) and Multiple -Family Residence (R-3) zoning district. The development standards pertaining to the two zoning districts would render the project unfeasible. Approval of an amendment application to change the zoning district is required for the project (Exhibit 10). The Specific Development (SD) designation allows flexibility of the uses and development standards that are tailored to a unique and specific project. If the zone change is approved, a series of site-specific objectives, policies and development standards will be used to guide the development of the proposed project such as setbacks, parking and height to allow the exclusive entitlement of the permanent supportive housing project. The SD document has been drafted to be consistent with the project and prohibits future modifications to enlarge or reduce the size of the project (Exhibit 11). The zone change needs to be approved in conjunction with the proposed General Plan Amendment in order for the project to be consistent with the General Plan. Table 3: CEQA.
