PCZ-77-H RESOLUTION OF THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDING TO THE CITY COUNCIL THE CHANGE OF ZOrdE FOR 3.89 ACRES LOCATED ON TNE EAST SIDE OF RANCHO DRIVE, ADJACENT TO I-805 AND THE OTAY VALLEY FLO�D PLAIN, FROM R-2 AND R-2-F TO R-3-P-11 WHEREAS, a duly verified application for change of zone was filed with the Planning Department by Carl Salatino on March ll, 1977, application No. PCZ-77-H, and . WHEREAS, said application requested a change of zone for 3.89 acres located on the east side of Rancho Drive, adjacent to I-805 and the Otay Valley Flood Plain, more particularly described in said application, from R-2 and R-2-F to R-3-P-11, and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission set the time and place for a hearing on said application, and notice of said hearing, together with its purpose, was given by the publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the City at least 10 days prior to the date of said hearing, and WHEREAS, a hearing was held at said time and place, namely 7:00 p.m., Apri] 5, 1977, before the Planning Commission, and said hearing was thereafter closed. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS: � 1. The Commission finds that in accordance with the Negative Declaration on IS-77-12 and the findings stated therein, this change of zone will have no significant environr,iental impacts, and certifies that the Negative Declaration was prepared in accordance with CEQA, 1970, as amended. 2. From facts presented to the Commission, the Commission finds that public necessity, convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice require the change of zone from R-2 and R-2-F to R-3-P-11 for 3.89 acres located on the east side of Rancho Drive, adjacent to I-805 and the Otay Valley Flood Plain, subject to the following precise plan guidelines: a. The development shall be architecturally compatible with the adjacent development (Rancho Rios� through the use of similar materials, colors, architectural styling and fencing. b. The landscaping shall be made compatible with adjacent develop- ment through the use of similar plant materials with emphasis on turf for the majority of the usable open space. c. The site shall be graded so that the transition between the slope bank and the usable lot area is blended by rounding ar.d rol�i^g the break areas. Maximum slope for tfiese transition areas shall not exceed a 4:1 ratio. 3. The findings of fact in support of said determination are as follows: a. The proposed zone change will provide the opportunity to introduce T a different structure type into an area whicl� is currently develope with only one type of structure. The proposed density is in substantial conformance with the existing density in the area. b. The density of 11 dwelling units per acre is in conformance with the General Plan designation for the area of 4-12 dwelling units per acre. �, The "P" Modifying District is appropriate since the basic or underlying zone regulations do not allow the property owner and/or the City appropriate control or flexibility needed to achieve an efficient and proper relationship among the uses allowed in the adjacent zones. The transition from one and two-story combined, fourplex units on the adjoining property to multi-family develop- ment on the subject site warrants careful architectural review with appropriate guidelines established to insure compatibility. A11 of the adjoining area is either precise plan zoned or develaped as a planned unit development. Therefore, the "P" zone conforms to the surrounding zoning. 4. The Planning Comnission recommends to the City Council that said change of zone be approved. 5. That this resolution be transmitted to the City Council and a copy be transmitted to the owner of the property.
