6 c?-// Staff Report To: Planning Commission Subject: 439 Fuller Street July 19, 2005 Page 4 of 5 applicant. The aim, however, is to produce a plan that can fulfill the objectives of both the City and the applicant, as well as nearby property owners and residents. GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING COMPLIANCE: The site is designated "Commercial/Office - bffice Park Oriented Uses - Mixed Use" on the General Plan. Zoning for the site is 'CA' (Central Administrative) (Figure 3). The applicant's proposal is consistent with the General Plan land use designation, but exceeds the allowable General Plan density limitation of 40 units per acre, and would therefore require a General Plan amendment. The proposal would be inconsistent with current zoning limits for density (40 units per acre) and height (75 feet), but the Precise Plan would replace the current CA zoning with site-specific uses and standards. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Environmental review of the Precise Plan will be required, in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). At this initial stage, staff anticipates that a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) will be prepared. The MND will address issues such as traffic, parking, and visual impacts of the Plan. Public review of the Draft MND will occur prior to the Planning Commission's action on the environmental document. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR PUBLIC INPUT: Public notice of the Planning Commission meeting was mailed to all owners of property and tenants located within 300 feet of the subject site, plus the chairperson of the Centennial Homeowners Association. The Zoning Ordinance does not require notice and a public hearing for initiation of a Precise Plan, but the notice affords affected persons an early opportunity to become involved in the process. Public input will also be available at several points in the process of preparing the Precise Plan, including: . An early informational meeting with area property owners and residents to assess their preliminary concerns about development of the site . Review of the Preliminary Draft Precise Plan by the Architectural Review Committee and the Planning Commission . Review of the Draft Precise Plan by the Planning Commission . Review of the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration by the Planning Commission . Review and action by the City Council
