Item No. _ PC: 1-8-87 SU -87-2 Page 4 STAFF ANALYSIS POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: General Plan and Zoning: The area proposed for development is designated as Low Density Residential on the Land Use/Circulation Element Map of the General Plan. This designation allows up to six dwelling units per gross acre. The General Plan/Zoning Consistency Matrix adopted by the Board of Supervisors on June 15, 1976, indicates three zoning districts that are consistent with Low Density Residential: R1-10, R1-8, and R1 -U. This subdivision is pro- posed to be developed under the R1 -U zone. The specific den- sity of the Wildflower Estates project is 4.8 dwelling units per acre. Minimum lot size for R1 -U is 6,000 square feet. The average lot size for the proposed subdivision is 6,300 square feet. The project site was rezoned from R1-10 (Single -Family Residential; 10,000 square foot minimum lot size) to R1 -U by the Board of Supervisors on September 25, 1986. AREA/NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY: Noise: The proposed subdivision is adjacent to Lathrop Road, which is classified as a noise generator. Those lots which back upon Lathrop Road will be subject to noise levels in the 60-68 decibel range. As such, some noise reduction measures will be necessary to reduce the noise level to 65 decibels at the pro- perty line (pursuant to Section 9-3800(b) of the Planning Title). Traffic Circulation: Lathrop Road forms the northern boundary of the proposed sub- division and is classified as a major collector. Lathrop Road is also subject to an adopted Specific Road Plan with an ulti- mate right-of-way of 84 feet. As proposed, no access to the subdivision will be provided from Lathrop Road. This is con- sidered appropriate, given the expected traffic volumes on Lathrop Road in the future. Access will be provided via 5th Street (existing) from the east and Avon Street (proposed) from the west. This will provide adequate access for the sub- division, although it is not known precisely when Avon Street will be extended (refer to the Land Use Map).
