Staff is recommending approval of the applicant's request due to the <br />project's satisfaction of meeting the intent of the MEMU overlay district to promote a pedestrian - <br />oriented environment with a mix of land uses and because the project will provide additional affordable <br />rental housing stock to an underserved segment of the region's population. <br />Table 1: Prosect and Location Information <br />Item <br />I Information <br />Project Address <br />1 2222 East First Street <br />Nearest Intersection <br />I First Street and Tustin Avenue <br />General Plan Designation <br />I District Center (DC) <br />Arterial Commercial (C-5) with the Metro East Mixed Use overlay district <br />(OZ -1), Active Urban district <br />Zoning Designation <br />Surrounding Land Uses <br />I Commercial <br />_ <br />North <br />Commercial <br />(East) <br />MultipieEF mily Residential South <br />Rehabilitation Facilit West __.__ _ <br />Exhibit 2 <br />6123 <br />
