Of the total number of residential lots, 130 would be Medium High Density Residential (R-MH zone) lots,and 99 Medium Density Residential (R-M zone)lots. The higher density lots would be located within the center of the proposed development(in sub-neighborhoods D2 and D3), along the west side of the 4.5-acre linear park(to be developed within and adjacent to the PG&E easement). The lower density lots would primarily be sited around the edge of the development(in sub- neighborhoods D2 and D3), and to the east of the linear park(in sub-neighborhood D4). (See Figures 2, 3, and 4 at the end of"Project Description".) I M The number of residential lots corresponds to the number of dwelling units that would be built in the area covered by the Tentative Map.Although the project would alter the existing configuration, I location, and acreages of the R-MH and R-M zones,the number of dwelling units by zone would not be changed from what was approved by Specific Plan III for the subject property. This fact is illustrated by Table 2,which provides a breakdown of the type of residential development by zone and compares the development to what was previously approved in Specific Plan III for the subject area. It should also be noted that the density of R-M development for the proposed residential development exceeds the maximum density range specified by the Master Plan for the R-M zone. This discrepancy, however, is permitted by the Master Plan provided certain conditions are met(i.e., the density of R-M development is within the density range specified by the General Plan and the density of R-M development for the entire neighborhood [Neighborhood D],which includes the R-M E area of the proposed development,falls within the range specified by the Master Plan).The proposed development meets these conditions.

The Master Plan Amendment would revise the Master Plan land use map by relocating and adjusting areas (within Specific Pian lil)that are shown as Residential, Medium-High Density(RIMH), Residential, Low& Medium Density(RIL & RIM), and Open Space/Other(OS/0). The relocation/adjustment of the RIMH and R/L&RIM areas would result in a minor increase in the acreage of both the R-M and R-MH zoning districts, but no change in the number of R-M units and the number of R-MH units. (See discussion under Tentative Map above.) These changes would apply.to a number of Master Plan figures and tables (e.g., Tables 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3; Figures 3.5, 3.8, and 4.1). (See Appendix 2.) It should be noted that the change to the Master Pian land use map (Master Plan Figure 3.5)would also amend the General Plan ' because the General Plan map is the Master Plan map (General Plan Volume II, page XII-39). is Specific Plan Amendment. The Specific Plan Amendment would make a number of principal changes to Specific Plan III to implement the proposed development. These include: 1. Relocating and adjusting the area in Neighborhood D designated-as RIM, RIMH, and OS/O (i.e., the area located north of Grant Line Road, immediately east of Prosperity Street and immediately north and south of Teixeira Avenue, and adjacent to the 75-foot wide PG&E } power line easement); ! 2. Permitting different setback, separation, building coverage, and height requirements for new residential development than that specified by Specific Plan 111, provided the specific lot typelproduct design criteria for said residential development is included as part of a Special Purpose Plan; 3. Permitting second unit dwellings in the R-MH zoning district; and 3
