Document Description
The City's Housing Element identified Program 13: Zoning Code Review and Update;
Program 13 provides ministerial approval of projects for three opportunity sites within five parcels that will be rezoned with either a Mixed-Use Overlay or Housing Opportunity Overlay designation to accommodate future housing to meet the City's RHNA target. Two candidate sites, Malaga Cove (Site 1) and Lunada Bay (Site 2), would be re-zoned to apply the MU-O designation. The First Church of Christ, Scientist (Site 3) would be rezoned to apply the HO-O overlay zone. Both overlay zones would allow for by-right residential uses with objective design standards. The overlay zone would allow Malaga Cove (Site 1) and Lunada Bay (Site 2) to develop at a maximum density of 30 dwelling units/acre (du/ac), resulting in a maximum of 20 units at each site and First Church of Christ, Scientist (Site 3) to develop at 25 du/ac, resulting in a maximum of 116 units, for a total of 156 maximum units. The proposed project would include a General Plan Amendment at First Church of Christ, Scientist (Site 3).
