9822 Russell Avenue Townhome Project
Document Type
MND - Mitigated Negative Declaration
Received
Present Land Use
Church, preschool and daycare, wireless communications facility. Single-Family Residential (R-1) zoning, Low Density Residential (LDR) General Plan designation
Document Description
The proposed Project would remove the existing church, preschool, wireless facility, and daycare facility buildings and improvements on the Project site and construct 26 two-story townhome residences, open space/recreation, and parking. Each residential unit would range size from approximately 1,442 square feet to 1,800 square feet, would have three or four bedrooms, and two-car garages. The 26 residences on the 1.81-acre site would result in a density of 14.4 dwelling units per acre. The Project would include parking, open space, ornamental landscaping, and associated infrastructure.
The Project requests the approval of a General Plan Amendment to change the land use from Low Density Residential (LDR) that allows up to 11 dwelling units per acre to Low Medium Density Residential (LMR), which allows residential densities between 11 and 21 dwelling units per acre. The Project also includes a zone change to change the site zoning from Single-Family Residential (R-1) to Planned Unit Development (PUD) with an R-2 (Limited Multiple Residential) base zoning designation used as the base guiding standards. The Project includes approval of a Site Plan and a Vesting Tentative Tract Map (TTM) for condominium purposes. Additionally, the existing CUPs for the wireless facility (CUP-554-01) and for the preschool (CUP-114-81) would be revoked.
