purpose of the Planned Development Permit is to ensure the design and construction quality contained in all aspects of the development exceed the quality standards typically required for new developments located in similar zoning districts. The Project site is comprised of six parcels that would be merged and resubdivided into six parcels, including five developable lots for 131 condominium units with the recording of the final map, and the remaining parcel for the interior roadway. Upon approval of the Tentative Map, the Project site would consist of six parcels for 131 condominium units, private roadways and common open space. Section 30.130 states: “While condominium and community apartment projects present benefits in the nature of increased amenities, opportunities for dwelling ownership and leisure time, the special nature of such projects creates conditions that may result in neglect, deterioration and lack of maintenance, causing negative impact upon the health, safety, welfare and economic prosperity of the City and its citizens. Because of the unique nature of the problems created by condominium and community apartment projects, it is the express intent of the City to treat such projects differently from other types of multi-family dwellings and to establish rules and standards thereof, regulating the construction of, and conversion to, condominium projects and community apartment projects in the City.” In accordance with this purpose, the Final Map will include the condominium units and will be reviewed for substantial conformance with the Tentative Map pursuant to all applicable standards outlined in Chapter 30 of the Municipal Code. Conformance with these standards will occur prior to City Council approval of the Final Map. In order to grant a Planned Development Permit, the Planning Commission must make the findings, as required by Section 46.5 of the Zoning Ordinance. The finding for approval of the Planned Development Permit and Condominium Permit can be made as the proposed development incorporates quality architectural design and exterior materials that exceed the quality standards typically required for new developments. The developer will also construct and maintain the Bay Trail and a new waterfront park for the benefit of the community. Tentative Map The Project requires approval of a Tentative Map per Chapter 30, Article III of the Municipal Code (Subdivision Ordinance). The Project site is comprised of six parcels that would be merged and resubdivided into six parcels for 131 condominium units, internal roadways and common open space. Subdivision Ordinance Section 30.42 requires the hearing authority to disapprove a Tentative Map if any of the findings can be made. The findings to approve the map can be made as the subdivision is consistent with the General Plan, the site is physically suited for the density of development, the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage and the subdivision will not conflict with public easements. 7.A. - Page 13
