ANALYSIS Project Site The project site consists of two (2) parcels totaling 0.48 gross acres and is located on the southeast corner of E. Mokelumne Street and N. Orange Street in the Urban Community of Woodbridge. The site was previously developed with a single-family residence but currently is vacant. Properties to the north, south, and east are zoned commercially but are developed with nonconforming residences. Properties to the west are zoned and developed residentially. (See Attachment A) The underlying project for this site is a Small Multi-Family residential development. The applicant has submitted a Site Plan depicting four (4) primary dwelling units ranging in size from 1,481 to 1,561 square feet. The development can occur as four (4) dwellings on one (1) parcel (which would require the parcels to be merged) or as two (2) dwellings on each parcel. In either scenario, the end result would be a maximum of four (4) dwelling units. General Plan Map Amendment In order to approve the General Plan Map Amendment, the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors will have to determine that the internal consistency of the General Plan is maintained in adoption of the proposed General Plan Amendment. (Development Title Section 9-803.4) General Plan Goals Policies Objectives — Encourage Infill Development (General Plan 2035, p. 3.1-5 The General Plan states that the County shall encourage infill development in Urban and Rural Communities within or adjacent to existing development in order to maximize the efficient use of land and use existing infrastructure with the capacity to serve new development. (LU-1.4) • The project site is located in the Urban Community of Woodbridge within existing development with existing infrastructure. The site is comprised of two (2) vacant parcels surrounded by residentially developed parcels and will be served by existing public utilities for water, sewer, and storm water drainage. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan land use policy which encourages infill development for Urban Communities. Medium Density Residential (R/M): Locational Criteria and Development Standards (General Plan 2035, P. 3.1-32) The Medium Density Residential designation provides for a transition from lower density, single-family areas and more intensely developed residential and commercial areas. The Medium Density Residential designation generally applies to residential neighborhoods within Urban Communities and City Fringe Areas. • The project site is located adjacent to commercial zoning to the east. The parcels to the west are designated R/M (Medium Density Residential) and parcels to the northwest are designated R/L (Low Density Residential). Parcels to the north, east, and south are designated C/C (Community Commercial). The project site will be consistent with this policy if approved.
