7A Page 31 Program H~8: Development on Larger Lots in R2 zone. In the R2 zone, the Zoning Ordinance is currently silent with regards to development on larger parcels (greater than 10,000 square feet). As such, City Staff has made an interpretation for density limits on larger lots in the R2 zone, consistent with densities found throughout this zone and related to the density implied in the zoning code as it is written, but not specifically stated for larger properties. In order to provide clarity on this practice, the City will revise the Zoning Ordinance to codify this interpretation. Objective: Revise the Zoning Ordinance to codify the City's interpretation of density in the R2 zone. Clarify density limit of up to approximately 13 to 16 units per acre and list appropriate development standards consistent with the R2 zone. Timeframe: Complete Zoning Ordinance revision by 2010 The Supplementary Provisions as stated in Article 32 of the Zoning Ordinance include requirements for private open space as follows: The following usable open space shall be required in the R-2, RG, R-3, R-4, and R-5 Districts: There shall be three hundred (300) square feet of usable open space for eve!}' studio aparlment. There shall be three hundred (300) square feet of usable open space for eve!}' one (1) bedroom dwelling unit, plus one hundred (100) square feet of usable open space for each additional bedroom within the units. The proposed amendment to the R-2 zoning would not conflict with these provisions. Individual residential developments would require analysis and, if applicable compliance with, these provisions as part of the planning project review. The intent of the code amendment is to clarify the lot area required for each increment exceeding 10,000 square feet and does not represent a change in land use. The amendment would not provide for additional residential development on existing and proposed parcels beyond that already anticipated by the General Plan and the existing R-2 zoning. Therefore, the project will have no adverse impacts on land use. Finally, as explained in Section IV above, the proposed project would not conflict with an applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan. . X.
