DESIGN REVIEW CASE NO. PDR 2009-081
DENSITY BONUS CASE NO. PDB 2009-001
USE VARIANCE CASE NO. PVAR 2009-047

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project involves the development of a new 4-story 36-unit affordable rental housing project. The project site is located on four adjoining lots totaling approximately 27,910 square feet (0.64 acres). The two westerly lots are undeveloped. The two easterly lots contain City Parking Lot No. 12. A total of 58 parking spaces will be provided in a 2-level semi-subterranean parking garage with access from Salem Street. The 36 units are comprised of four artist flats (live/work units) each containing one bedroom; 14 two-bedroom units; nine three-bedroom units; and nine four bedroom units. Development of the project would require the removal of Lot 12.

The applicant is seeking approval of concession and waivers pursuant to Government Code § 65915 and GMC Section 30.36 (Density Bonus Incentives) to allow for increased height, number of stories, floor area ratio, density, setbacks and parking; an additional wavier to further reduce the number of parking spaces; and a use variance to allow for the proposed live/work units in the R-1250 zone.

The project will require approval from the Planning Commission for the use variance, the Zoning Hearing Officer/Zoning Hearing Officer for the requested concessions and waivers, and the Design Review Board for the design of the project. Approval from the Housing Authority is required for project funding.
