- - i REP M�- MV" R io TTo tit@ H onora @ ayor December 8, 2003 Subject Zoning Map Amendment –1025 Lakeview Way. Recommendation The Planning Commission recommends to the City Council that the proposed Zoning Map Amendment from RH-40 to RH -20 be approved. Background On October 28, 2003, the Planning Commission reviewed this project and adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the subject zoning map amendment (please referto the attached staff report and meeting minutes). The Commission also recommended that the Council approve the zoning map amendment. The proposal is to allow a re- zoning of a 1.3 acre (56,628 sq. ft.) residential site from RH-40 (Residential - Hillside- 40,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size) to RH -20 (Residential - Hillside- 20,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size). The property currently contains a single - family residence. The re- zoning would enable the property to be subdivided in the future into two parcels and eventually developed with an additional single - family residence. General Plan And Zonina Conformance: Redwood City's General Plan designation forthis area is "Low Density Residential" with allowable densities of approximately 1 to 7 units per net acre. The single - family residences directly opposite the subject property, across Lakeview Way, are zoned RH -12 (Residential - Hillside- 12,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size). The adjoining land use designation for the portion of the subdivision in the County is "Residential Hillside— Design Review" and the County General Plan designation for this area is Low Density Residential allowing 0.3 -2.3 dwelling units per acre." The proposed re- zoning is compatible with the surrounding land uses and with the City's and County's General Plans. Site Description: The property is located in the "Residential Hillside" neighborhood of Emerald Lake, at the terminus of Lakeview Way and is situated on the North side of a cul- de -sac street (see attached vicinity map). The property is bordered to the North by a man- made lake, to the West and East by residential properties and to the South by Lakeview Way. There are mature trees and vegetation within and surrounding the site. All surrounding land uses are low density residential in character and the area is semi -rural in nature. The subdivision in which the property is located was originally created in 1947. The subdivision is comprised of 11 residential lots and a lake which is owned in- common bythe property owners. In 1947, the entire subdivision was within the County limits. Over the years, two properties were annexed to Redwood City. The subject property is one of the Planning /Agenda Reports/Zoning Map Amendment 111903/SM:cls an� City Council . d... : From the City Manag @r Planning /Agenda Reports/Zoning Map Amendment 111903/SM:cls
