at 719 and 725 215Y Street, seeking approval of a Conditional Use Permit, Precise Development Plan, and
Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 70310 for a four -unit condominium project.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the
subject application on March 18, 2008, at which testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was
presented to and considered by the Planning Commission.
Section 3. Based on evidence received at the public hearing, the Planning Commission makes the
following factual findings:
1. The subject site is composed of two 6,863 square foot lots (13,726 square feet combined) that
front onto 215t street. The lots are currently vacant, zoned R-lA (Limited One -Family Residential) and have
a General Plan designation of LD (Low Density Residential).
2. The applicant is requesting to merge the two lots and construct four (4) detached condominium
units utilizing a shared driveway easement with an eight -unit condominium project approved by the Planning
Commission in late 2006.
3. Each unit will be two -stories in height and contain 4 bedrooms, 3 and one-half bathrooms, and a
two -car garage. Since the R-lA zoning designation restricts the number of units to 2 per lot, the applicant is
requesting a Zone Change to Specific Plan Area.
4. On February 7, 2008, the Staff Environmental Review Committee recommended an
Environmental Negative Declaration for the proposal. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality
Act, staff prepared an Initial Study and a Negative Declaration regarding this project, which is attached to
this resolution and incorporated herein by reference. The Planning Commission determined that this
project will result in no impact on the environment and adopted the Negative Declaration pursuant to
Resolution 08- .
Section 4. Based on the foregoing factual findings, the Planning Commission makes the
following findings pertaining to the application for a Precise Development Plan, Conditional Use Permit,
Vesting Tentative Parcel Map:
1. The map is consistent with applicable general and specific plans.
2. The site if zoned Specific Plan Area No. 10 (pending City Council approval) will be physically
suitable for the type and density of proposed development.
