Subdivision application MS 32-14 in September of 2015. As part of the Zoning Regulations Update, the

RECOMMENDATION: Recommend that the City Council adopt an ordinance establishing a “S” (Special
Considerations) Overlay Zone on North Broad Street.
1.0 BACKGROUND
The proposed rezone was reviewed by the Planning Commission on June 27, 2018 and was continued to
July 11, 2018. The Planning Commission provided direction to staff to incorporate the C/OS-20 zone
portion of the properties to include the “S” Overlay zone as part of the rezone.
2.0 SUMMARY
On September 23, 2015, as part of its action to approve a Minor Subdivision on appeal, the Planning
Commission initiated that a “S” Overlay be applied to property located at 159 Broad Street in the next
Zoning Regulations Update. The Council also endorsed making this change in their action to approve the
scope of work for the Zoning Regulations Update. The “S” Overlay zone will address creek protection,
protection of wildlife corridors (specifically shown to cross this property on the Conservation and Open
Space Element), grading, compatibility with surrounding neighborhood, and fire safety. The Resolution
recommending the Zoning Map change is contained in Attachment 1.
3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW SUMMARY
Based upon all the evidence, the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council adopt the Initial
Study / Negative Declaration as prepared for the comprehensive Zoning Regulations Update (GENP-0327-
2018). The initial study addresses all environmental issues listed in Appendix G of the State CEQA
Guidelines, and tiers with and incorporates, by reference, the Land Use and Circulation Element Final
Program Environmental Impact Report pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15150 (Incorporation
by Reference), 15152 (Tiering), and 15168 (Program EIR).
