8A "Beverages and More" retail store to the west, and an auto repair facility to the north. Page 2 The larger neighborhood context is dominated by commercial uses, particularly along the EI Camino Real corridor to the west, with some residential and light industrial uses. Two adjoining parcels contain multiple residential units and the site is considered by HUD as suitable for the proposed supportive housing use because it is within walking distance of public transportation and other essential services that will help facilitate a higher standard of living for the residents who would not drive. The proposed residential project would address two priorities of the City's 5-year Consolidated Plan as follows: 1) it would increase the range of housing options and related services for persons with special needs; and 2) it would increase the number of homeless persons moving into permanent housing. Prior City Council Action In April 2006, the City Council allocated $748,494 to MHASMC in CDBG and HOME funds for acquisition of the parcels located at 104 and 112 Cedar Street in order to develop the proposed 15-unit residential project. General Plan and Zoning Amendments are required for the proposed project to proceed. In addition to amending the General Plan and Zoning associated with the project site, two adjacent parceis are also proposed for similar amendments. In summary, there are three properties that constitute the area subject to General Plan and Zoning Amendments. All of these parcels currently have a General Plan Land Use designation of "Heavy Commercial," which does not permit residential development or mixed use. There are two different zoning designations applying to the three sites, which are further described below: 1 ) 104 and 112 Cedar Street: A vacant parcel proposed for development of the proposed residential facility by MHASMC. This parcel is zoned General Commercial (CG). 2} 128-132 Cedar Street and 1406 Main Street: The second parcel is owned by Joseph Demma and contains two buildings: a two-story building which qualifies as an historic resource: "The Demma Store," with a grocery store on the ground floor and residences above, as well as a detached one-story building containing a single family residence. This parcel is zoned Industrial Restricted (IR). 3) 1414 Main Street: The third and final parcel is owned by Steve and Juana Cortez and contains two single-story buildings, one of which is a historic resource "The Perry House." Both structures contain multiple residential units. This parcel is zoned Industrial Restricted (IR). The project area will require both a General Plan Land Use designation Amendment as well as a Zoning Map Amendment in order to allow for the construction of the proposed residential project and to bring existing non-conforming residential and mixed-use land uses into conformance on the additional two adjacent properties. Therefore, all three properties are proposed to have a General Plan Land Use Designation of "Heavy Commercial Mixed Use Residential" and to be in the General Commercial - Combined Residential (CG-R) Zoning District. The project itself will require the approval of a Use Permit and Planned Development Permit by the Zoning Administrator.
