Planning & Community Development Department Planned Development Planned Development (PD):  Purpose: The PD zoning district is intended for sites where an applicant proposes and the City desires to achieve a particular mix of uses, appearance, land use compatibility, or special sensitivity to neighborhood character.  Minimum site area: The PD district shall be applied only to sites of two acres or larger.  AS PROPOSED THE SITE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A PD  Development Standards:  (1) The density of a residential development under a PD plan shall not exceed the density allowed in the Land Use Element of the General Plan, unless the project is complying with the density bonus provisions of Chapter (Affordable Housing Incentives and Requirements).  (2) In the CD district, no PD plan may authorize a greater height than that permitted by Figure Central District Maximum Height. 15

Planning & Community Development Department Current Planning Comments 16 Project is compliant (or appears compliant, pending provision of additional details) with most development standards including:  Density (with Density Bonus)  Floor Area Ratio (General Plan)  Requesting increased FAR for Site B as provided in General Plan for “high quality, contextual architectural design in Planned Developments”  Open Space  Parking  Setbacks

Planning & Community Development Department Current Planning Comments The project as proposed does not currently comply with the maximum height allowed in Figure Central District Maximum Height. Proposed southern project boundary crosses existing structures.  Applicant is proposing to eliminate lot ties over property lines that existing buildings span across.  The elimination of the lot ties would create the proposed southern boundary of the project site.  The establishment of the proposed Planned District boundary along this lot line exacerbates the problematic situation that is created by the elimination of the lot tie. 17

Planning & Community Development Department Current Planning Comments 18

Planning & Community Development Department 19 Design Comments Preliminary Consultation with Design Commission  Concern was expressed over the proposed PD boundary lines.  The project represents a thoughtful explanation of the proposed massing and a good example of place making.  Study the walkability of the project and the interconnectedness of the courtyard spaces to create important linkages.  Study how the prayer garden adjacent to the building to the north, along Union Street, co-exists and this relationship should be clearly understood.  The project appears to be a strong addition to the area and light and shadow studies should be conducted and provided for future reviews.  There is a great deal of architectural eclecticism developing in this area and the project should work to achieve an urban cohesiveness to help unify the overall urban architectural style.

Planning & Community Development Department Comments from Other Departments Transportation  A traffic study will be required for the project Public Works  2-foot easement dedication will be required on Union Street (except adjacent to historic structure)  Drive approaches appear to conflict with existing street trees 20

Planning & Community Development Department 21 Project Approvals  Approval of Planned Development  Environmental Process  Design Review  Concept Design Review and Final Design Review  Also requires Height Averaging approval

Planning & Community Development Department Next Steps  Submittal of Revised Planned Development Application with appropriate 2 acre site minimum  Conduct CEQA Analysis  Planning Commission Public Hearing for recommendation of PD and CEQA  City Council Public Hearing for PD and CEQA approval  Design Commission Reviews (Concept and Final Design Review) 22

Planning & Community Development Department 23 Project Approvals  Staff is preparing an interim approach to be presented to the Planning Commission in April  Allow development that is consistent with the General Plan land use diagram and FAR and existing specific plan development regulations to move forward.  Consider changes to PD requirements to be smaller than two acres in the Central Area of the City.
