" Item No. 5 PC: 3-19-87 ` SU-87-7 Page 4 STAFF ANALYSIS GENERAL PLAN/ZONING: The area proposed for development is designated Residential, Low Density, on the General Plan. This designation permits between two to six units per gross acre. The density of development pro- posed for the subdivision lies within this range, 5.43 units per net acre. The subject property is within the area proposed for reclassifi- cation to R-2 . The General Plan/Zoning Consistency Matrix shows that this zone district is consistent with the Residential, Low Density, designation of the General Plan under certain cir- cumstances. (Note: The staff report for the reclassification establishes that these circumstances exist. See ZR-87-22 . ) R-2 zoning would permit single-family residential development on j 5,000-square-foot lots with 50 feet of frontage. The majority of lots within the proposed major subdivision would be 6,000 square feet in size and have between 50 to 60 feet of frontage on a e public road. Two additional comments should be made with respect to General Plan/Zoning considerations: 1 . Approval of SU-87-7 by the Planning Commission would be tied to the approval of ZR-87-22 by the Board of Supervisors. ' The effective date of approval of the major subdivision would be 30 days after the approval of the reclassification request . 2 . Staff has considered the housing needs of the County in recommending approval of this subdivision and has concluded that the housing that may result from this approval can be balanced with the service requirements of existing residents in the area. AREA/NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY: Land Use: The subject property is currently being used as a vineyard. However, the site is surrounded on three sides by residential development, and residential development occurs to the south of a vacant three-acre parcel which is also proposed for residen- tial development (Benson Place) . The type of single-family residential development proposed for SU-87-7 would be similar e to the residential develoment to the southwest and south.
