<br />7A <br />Page 88 <br /> <br />The reference documents do not provide any I nformation to validate the claim that the City's <br />interpretation of R2 density is consistent with past development. The only source .of information <br />available comes from the information provided by City Staff during the public hearings of the Kentfield <br />project last year (2009). <br /> <br />Last year Redwood City approved a R2 zoning project on Kentfield Ave. According to testimony given to <br />the Planning Commission and City Council, the Staff used the City's interpretation of R2 density and <br />determined 26 single family dwelling buildings are allowed on the 1.54 acre site. This Is a single family <br />dwelling denSity of 16.9 per acre, when the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan clearly specifies a <br />maximum of 8.7 single family dwellings per acre. <br /> <br />For the Kentfield project, City Staff justified the approved density by testifying the following previous <br />projects in the area are comparable. These projects contain single-family dwell1ngs. <br /> <br />Location Zoning Year Built Density (Units/Acre) <br />1443 Kentfield R3 1964 14.2 <br />1430 Gordon 5 Rt 1974 17.0 <br />(Espana) <br />1621-1673 Kentfietd R2 1975 14.7 <br />(Kenfield Manor) <br />1445-1467 Kentfield R2 1979 12.2 <br />120 Redwood Ave R2 1983 7.1 <br />(Greenhouse) <br />2..14 Dillon Ave & R2 1999. 7.1 <br />1414-1432 Valota Rd <br />1425-1425 Kentfietd R3 2003 12.0 <br />(La Rocca) <br /> <br />Yes, City staff used R3 developments to. justify the density of a R2 development. But, for our analysis we <br />are dropping the R3 zoned properties. The following graph plots project density on a tlmellne. The <br />graph also includes a marker for the Jast R2 density .modifitations in 1977. We assumed that a project <br />completed up to two years after the zoning change in 1977 may have been approved prior to the zoning <br />change in 1977. <br /> <br />14 <br />
