Item No . <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 : R1-10 , 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 RS-U by <br /> the Board of Supervisors on September 25, 1986 . <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. Proposed duplex <br /> Lots 12 and 27 meet this requirement , duplex Lots 33 and 35 are <br /> questionable, and duplex Lot 1 does not meet the requirement <br /> (refer to Tentative Map) . However, due to the configuration of <br /> the project site, and the restricted access to Lathrop Road, <br /> the design of these duplex lots is considered appropriate. <br /> Lots 33 and 35 utilize the cul-de-sac opposite Sunrise Place, <br /> and Lot 1 is oversized to accommodate separate driveways. <br /> Staff believes the design as presented meets the intent of <br /> Section 9-5310 . <br /> Noise: <br /> The proposed subdivision is adjacent to Lathrop Road, which is <br /> classified as a noise generator . Those lots which are adjacent <br /> to Lathrop Road will be subject to noise levels in the 70 deci- <br />
