RECOMMENDATION(S):

1. AUTHORIZE initiation of a General Plan Amendment (GPA) process to consider changing the General Plan land use designation from "Public and Semi-Public" (PS) to "Multiple-Family Residential-High Density" (MH) for a 5,750 square-foot (0.13-acre) vacant parcel located at 343 Rodeo Avenue in Rodeo, Assessor's Parcel Number 357-081-015. (File #GP20-0003)  
  

  

2. ACKNOWLEDGE that granting this authorization does not imply any sort of endorsement for the application to amend the General Plan, but only that the matter is appropriate for consideration.


FISCAL IMPACT:

None. If the authorization is granted, the project applicant will pay application fees to cover the cost of processing the GPA.

BACKGROUND:

The subject property was previously owned by the County and was purchased at auction by the current owners. The subject site, along with the adjacent parcel 341 Rodeo Avenue (APN 357-081-036), currently have a Public and Semi-Public (PS) General Plan land use designation. The next four parcels to the north and the four parcels to the south are designated Office (OF), there are five parcels south of those designated Multiple-Family Residential-High Density, and the land to the north and east is designated Downtown/Waterfront Rodeo Mixed-Use (M-2).  
  
The new property owner is interested in developing the subject site in a cohesive nature to the surrounding neighborhood. It is noted that adjacent parcels are developed as single-family residences, a four-plex, offices and commercial shops. Ideally, the applicant would like to develop the property to its maximum potential while still maintaining a cohesive development pattern in the community. As such, the applicant is requesting the Multiple-Family Residential-High Density (MH) land use designation, which has a density range of 22.0 – 29.9 units per net acre. This density translates to a range of three-to-four units on the subject property, at maximum. The MH land use designation is also consistent with the overall residential character of the community, and other examples of MH designations with multi-family development are present nearby. Staff emphasizes that authorization to proceed with the GPA process does not imply the Board's support or endorsement for the application to amend the General Plan, but only that this matter is appropriate for further consideration.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the Board does not authorize initiation of the GPA process, then an application to amend the General Plan cannot be filed and the subject site will retain its PS land use designation.
