Item No. Z <br /> PC : 7-2-87 <br /> SU-87-12 <br /> Page 4 <br /> STAFF ANALYSIS <br /> POLICY CONSIDERATIONS : <br /> General Plan and Zoning: <br /> The area proposed for development is designated as Low Density <br /> Residential on the Land Use/Circulation Element Map of the <br /> General Plan. This designation allows up to six dwelling units <br /> per gross acre . The General Plan/Zoning Consistency Matrix <br /> adopted by the Board of Supervisors on June 15, 1976, indicates <br /> three zoning districts that are consistent with Low Density <br /> Residential : RI-10, R1-8, and R1-U. This subdivision is pro- <br /> posed to be developed under the R1-U zone. The specific den- <br /> sity of the Sunset Manor project is 5. 1 dwelling units per <br /> acre. Minimum lot size for R1-U is 6,000 square feet for each <br /> single-family dwelling and 10,000 square feet for each duplex <br /> lot. All lots in the proposed subdivision conform to these <br /> standards. <br /> The project site was rezoned from R1-10 (Single-Family <br /> Residential ; 10 ,000 square foot minimum lot size) to R1-U by <br /> the Board of Supervisors on September 25 , 1986 . <br /> Staff has considered the housing needs of the County in recom- <br /> mending approval of this subdivision and has concluded that the <br /> housing that may result from this approval can be balanced with <br /> the service requirements of existing residents in the area. <br /> AREA/NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY: <br /> Project Design: <br /> The subdivision proposes five duplex lots ( 10 dwelling units) . <br /> Under Section 9-5310 of the Planning Title, duplex lots are <br /> permitted on corner lots of subdivisions within R1-U zoning <br /> districts. This section also requires the main entrance of <br /> each duplex unit to fact opposite streets. As proposed, each <br /> duplex unit will fact in opposite directions. However, because <br /> of the lot configuration at the cul-de-sac, and the restricted <br /> access along Lathrop Road, Lots 1 and 35 will have vehicle <br /> access from the same street . <br /> Noise: <br /> The proposed subdivision is adjacent to Lathrop Road, which Is <br /> classified as a noise generator. Those lots whlc:i are adjacent <br /> to Lathrop Road will be subject to noise levels in the 70 deci- <br />
