A MOTION WAS MADE BY ORTEGA, SECOND BY RICHARDSON, TO APPROVE NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 91-2, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Richardson, Newman, Shomaker, Kirkland, Ortega, Leipzig NOES: None ABSENT: Bourguignon ABSTAIN: None MOTION PASSED PC Minutes - 2/20/91 -10- (9164d) A MOTION WAS MADE BY ORTEGA, SECOND BY RICHARDSON, TO APPROVE CODE AMENDMENT NO. 91-1 WITH FINDINGS AND FORWARD TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR ADOPTION, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Richardson, Newman, Shomaker, Kirkland, Ortega, Leipzig NOES: None ABSENT: Bourguignon ABSTAIN: None MOTION PASSED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CODE AMENDMENT NO. 91-1: 1. Code Amendment No. 91-1 to amend the zoning code to allow for Single room Occupancy/Living Units pursuant to a conditional use permit is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan and the following policies of the Housing Element. a. "Promote housing which meets the special needs of the handicapped and elderly persons (Policy 1.0)." This code amendment will permit an alternative housing type which contains smaller units in a secured project that has proven to be ideally suited for the elderly and handicapped. b. "Encourage the provision and continued availability of a range of housing types throughout the community, with variety in the number of rooms and level of amenities (Policy 2.0)." This code amendment creates additional housing opportunities that are currently precluded by the Zoning Code. c. "Facilitate the development of mixed -use projects containing residential and non-residential uses which can take advantage of shared land costs to reduce the costs of land for residential uses (Policy 2.0 and Program 2.7)." This code amendment will permit an SRO housing project in a commercial zone which may be part of a mixed use project. d. "Investigate the development of single room occupancy (SRO) hotels to provide housing opportunities for very low income residents (Policy 2.0 and Program 2.17)." SRO/living unit type housing projects will be permitted pursuant to the provisions of this code amendment. e. "Locate residential uses in proximity to commercial and industrial areas and transportation rates to provide convenient access to employment centers (Policy 3.0)." The code amendment allows for a unique type of residential housing to be permitted only in commercial zones and contains development standards that encourage locations near transportation routes. PC Minutes - 2/20/91 -11- (9164d) 2. Code Amendment No. 91-1 to allow SRO/Living Units offers greater opportunities for providing alternative housing for very low and low income households. This facilitates the City's requirement to accommodate these additional households as projected by the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA).
