General Plan Amendment &
Rezoning - Reasons for Support
1.Reconfigures existing zoning on site, rather
than introducing new land uses.
2.Creates a logical land use configuration that is
consistent with the area’s development pattern.
3.Single zoning category alternative did not
accommodate project:
All R-3 – doesn’t allow offices.
All Office – doesn’t accommodate density.

Vesting Tentative Map 2928
Allows for the individual sale of both the residential units and commercial space in the project.
One-lot common interest subdivision creates airspace condominiums (up to 8 commercial & 9 residential units).
Subject to the requirements of the condominium regulations for open space & storage.
HOA would be formed and oversee maintenance and use of common facilities.
12
VTM – Reasons for Support
Complies with condominium regulations for open
space & storage.
Essentially one lot subdivision – allows individual
ownership of both residential units & office spaces.
Condition #6 – allows Community Development
Director to review the final map to assure that it in
substantial conformance with the ARC’s approval of
the final design.
13
Addendum
MND approved on 8-18-08 with
previous approval of VTM 2928.

and includes summary of any changes
