Riley to change the designation of the property located at 13641 Red Hill Avenue from R-4 (Suburban Residential District) to R-3 (Multiple Family Residential District). Be That a public hearing was duly noticed, called and held on said application by the Planning Commission on June 27, 1994. Ce That the proposed Zone Change to R-3 (Multiple Family Residential District) is not in the best interest of the public health, safety and welfare of the surrounding area as evidenced by the following: · The proposed zone change would be considered "spot zoning" which is not recommended or supported by sound planning practice. · The proposed zone change would be incompatible with land use densities in the vicinity as it would permit an increase in density from fourteen (14) dwelling units per acre to twenty four (24) dwelling units per acre which is inconsistent with the adjacent properties to the north, south, east and west of the site, which are limited to densities ranging between fourteen (14) and sixteen (16) dwelling units per acre. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Resolution No. 3282 Page 2 · The proposed Zone Change would allow development which is 66% more dense than the development allowed under the R-4 (Suburban Residential District) zoning. This development w~uld have significantly greater building mass and typically less landscape open space. · The change would create a zoning district boundary at mid-block rather than at a more logical boundary, such as a street. Red Hill Avenue or San Juan Street, as roadways, provide for a more natural, orderly separation between a zoning district rather than a mid-block location. De That the proposed zone change to R-3 (Multiple Family Residential District) is not consistent with the Housing Element of the General Plan in that the change would be inconsistent with the goal to increase the percentage of ownership housing in the City and the goal to ensure that future land use decisions are the result of sound and comprehensive planning. II. The Planning Commission hereby recommends to the City Council denial of Zone Change 94-002 a request to change the zoning designation of the property located at 13641 Red Hill Avenue from R-4 (Suburban Residential District) to R-3 (Multiple-Family Residential District). 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Resolution No. 3282 Page 3 PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Planning Commission of the City of Tustin at a regular meeting held on the 27th day of June, 1994.
