Item No. 4 PC : 5-21-87 SU-87-16 Page 4 STAFF ANALYSIS BACKGROUND: Property History: The subject site is a portion of an existing development , Eagle Park Subdivision, Unit No . 2 . The purpose of this application is to resubdivide ten existing lots for duplex development into 14 lots for single-family residential . POLICY CONSIDERATIONS : General Plan: The subject site is designated as Retail Commercial on the Land Use/Circulation Map of the General Plan. Though this General Plan designation is presently silent with respect to residen- tial densities, a General Plan Text Amendment (GP-87-7) goes before the Board of Supervisors on May 28 , 1987 , which, if approved, will include dwelling and population densities for this designation. Specifically, the Retail Commercial designa- tion would have population densities of approximately zero to sixty persons per gross acre. The area zoning is Commercial Retail (CR) , which the General Plan/Zoning Consistency Matrix indicates as being compatible with the Retail Commercial designation under certain circumstances . The CR zone requires that single-family parcels be a minimum of 5 , 000 square feet in area, with 55 feet of frontage. The pro- ject as designed is consistent with both the zoning require- ments and the General Plan designation. AREA/NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY: Traffic Circulation: The site is adjacent to Cambridge Drive, which the General Plan designates as a minor collector . The Initial Study prepared for this project noted a potential traffic hazard could result from people backing vehicles out of their driveways onto Cambridge Drive. The proposed resubdivision does , however , offer mitigation in itself , as there will be some reduction in traffic as a result of constructing 14 dwelling units as opposed to the 20 units already approved.
