40, 41, 43, 44, and 45) from Industrial to Urban Diversified

Chapter of the General Plan text to establish a maximum residential
density of up to 10 dwelling units/acre and allowing residential-only
1
Rcs. n~,...89-324A...... n~.c.s.
projects only with a conditional use permit subject to the following
findings
"Findings for allowing residential-only projects in the Mixed Use
designation
a. The project will help the City achieve one or more of its housing
policies relating to housing type, location, mix or affordability.
b. The project is designed to be compatible with surrounding land
uses.
c. The project will not have a detrimental impact on existing
infrastructure--especially traffic and access to the street
network.
d. The project will not have a detrimental impact on the City's
inventory of commercially developable land, but will actually
benefit the community by bringing residents closer to commercial
and retail services."
4. The definition of Urban High Residential in the Land Use and ~ Growth
Management Chapter of the General Plan text as follows:
"Ancillary commercial uses as defined on a case-by-case basis intended
to serve the needs of the residents of the complex (e . g . , senior
citizens) may also be permitted as long as there is a direct and
continuing relationship between the commercial and residential uses .
Commercial uses as described here are not intended to be a part of
each and every high density project, but may be acceptable to the
City depending on the nature of the residential use."
5. The General Plan Circulation Map to delete the Corona Road
interchange.
6. Program 25 of the Housing Chapter of the General Plan text to add
provisions for granting a density bonus
"a. Density bonuses as defined by this Plan may be granted by the
2
City depending on whether or not one or more of the following
minimum criteria are met by a proposed residential project of five
(5) units or more
1. Twenty-five (250) percent of the total units will be
constructed for persons and families of low or moderate
income as defined by this General Plan.
2 . Ten (10%) percent of the total units will be constructed for
persons and families of very low or low income as defined by
this General Plan.
3. Fifty (50 0) percent of the total units will be constructed for
"senior citizens" as defined by Section 51.2 of the California
Civil Code.
b. If any of these minimum criteria are met, the City may grant,
according to Government Code Section 65915, a density bonus of
at least twenty-five (25$) percent over the maximum allowable
density of the residential designation on the subject property.
c. Density bonuses of greater than twenty-five (25$) percent but no
more than fifty (50$) percent may be granted by the City to
those projects that significantly exceed the minimum criteria listed
above. The actual density bonus in such cases shall be
determined by the City on a case-by-case basis.
d . The density bonus shall be granted as part of the City's approval
of the project. (In those instances where a project may not need
formal approval, the Planning Director may grant the. bonus
administratively or ask the Planning Commission and City Council
to grant the bonus by formal action) . In any case, the following
findings must be made
1. The project has met one or more of the criteria set forth in
the General Plan and in accordance with State law.
3
2. The project design and location can accommodate the
increased density without significant impact to surround uses
or community facilities .
3. The density bonus will help satisfy City housing policy. "
7. The General Plan definition of Moderate-Income Household is amended
to read as follows:
"A household with an annual income of between 80 and 100 percent of
the Sonoma County median house-hold income by household size, as
determined by a survey of incomes conducted by Sonoma County, or in
the absence of such a survey, based on the latest available findings
for the County as provided by the U. S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD).
8. Programs 24 and 25 of the Housing Chapter of the General Plan text to
replace the term "Non-market rate" with the term "Below-market rate" ;
and add a definition of the term "Market Rate" to the Glossary as
follows :
"The fair market rent or value of a residential unit without any
consideration of standards for determining affordability. "
9. Deleting Program 9 of the Land Use and Growth Management Chapter
of the General Plan text and amending Policy 8 of the Housing Chapter
as follows
"Policy 8: The residential allocation pool, as established by the
City Council in accordance with the growth management system,
shall be an average of 500 allotments per year, no more than
1, 000 allotments in any one year, and no more than 1, 500 in any
three year period exclusive of projects targeted for households of
very low and low income and senior citizens."
In addition, the paragraph below the policy would be amended to read:
4
"This number is based on continuing the City's long-standing
growth management system, but bringing it into harmony with
development trends manifested between 1978 and 1986. The
average of 500 allocations reflect an annual growth rate of
between 2 o and 3 o per year. The primary objective of the system
is to prevent overloading the infrastructure and the ability of the
City and the school districts to provide needed services. At the
same time, the system provides that no more than 1, 000
allocations may be granted in any one calendar year and no more
than 1, 500 may be granted in any 3-year period. The figures of
500 and 1, 000 allocations are in keeping the 1985 engineering
reports on the water and sewer systems, prepared for the City
by Brown & Caldwell Engineers. These figures also give the
system greater flexibility to respond to changes in the market and
the business cycle. An allocation is defined by the system as the
right to create a lot or unit rather than to build a unit."
10. The General Plan Land Use Map designation on APN's 007-111-1, 17,
and 47 through 56; 007-102-3; and 005-020-3, 39 and 40 from
Industrial to Thoroughfare Commercial.
11. The General Plan Land Use Map designation on APN's 008-041-1, 2, 3,
6, 9, 10, 22 from Office Commercial to Community Commercial.
12. The General Plan Land Use Map designation on APN's 006-302-02, 03
and. 28 from Mixed-Use to Urban Diversified.
13. The General Plan definitions of land use categories and Land Use Map
to reflect the following density ranges for each residential land use
classification
Density
