Item No. 5 PC: 8-7-86 ZR-86-26 Page 3 3 . "In areas designated as . . . Low Density Residential . . . by the General Plan, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks shall be provided for every proposed public roadway. " (Section 9-9352 , Planning Title) 4 . Residential Zone (R1-U) Intent : "It is the intent of this chapter to provide for single-family residential neigh- borhoods of a higher density in certain areas within or immediately adjacent to population centers where the Planning Commission has determined that adequate urban faci- lities and services are available to ensure a physical environment necessary for the public health, safety, and convenience. Within urban areas, a neighborhood may be designated as residential zone R1-U if it is served by public water supply, sanitary sewer system, and other faci- lities and services that may be deemed necessary by the Planning Commission in order to fulfill the purpose and intent of the ordinance . . . " All of the above services and facilities are or can be made available from existing community districts or can be placed as conditions on later permit approvals. ZONING/SEWER ALLOCATION: Both R1-10 and Rl-U zones are consistent with the current General Plan designation of Residential Low Density. R1-U is appropriate at this location for several reasons . First , most of the surrounding development in the Lathrop area has developed under the RI-U classification. The General Plan promotes a higher den- sity to preserve nearby agricultural land. In addition, the recent sewer allocation of 4. 5 units/gross acre set by the Lathrop County Water District corresponds more closely to the density of the RI-U zoning classification. This new sewage system is in the process of being built and connected to Manteca' s Wastewater Facility. The actual sewer allocation for this project area will be somewhat less than if the entire area were developed out with 6,000 square-foot lots. Depending on a parcel ' s sewer alloca- tions, some parcels may need to be 7 ,000 or 8 ,000 square feet net . The applicant ' s property, for example, has 30 sewer alloca- tions. Based on preliminary calculations, he could achieve almost 37 units under the R1-U classification. Thus, some lots will need to be somewhat larger than the 6,000-square-foot mini- mum. The same will be true for the remaining tract of undeveloped parcels covered by this zone change . Although it may be possible to achieve a maximum of 79 lots on approximately 17 acres, the
