ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 

BACKGROUND

 

The applicant is requesting to rezone the subject parcel from A-Agricultural to R-1-8 Residential to allow for future residential uses.  The subject parcel is currently partially developed with residential uses. 

 

The project site is surrounded by residential uses to the north, south, east and west.

 

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW

 

The environmental impacts of this project were addressed by a Final EIR entitled, "San Jose 2020 General Plan," and findings were adopted by City Council Resolution No. 65459 on August 16, 1994.

 

GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE

 

The proposed rezoning to R-1-8 Residential is consistent with the San José 2020 General Plan Land Use/Transportation Diagram designation of Medium Low Density Residential (8 du/ac). 

 

ANALYSIS

 

This rezoning would facilitate redevelopment of the project site with residential uses in conformance with the General Plan designation for the site. Staff will continue to work with the applicant at the Development review stage to ensure that future development is appropriately integrated with the surrounding uses.

 

PUBLIC OUTREACH

 

A notice of the public hearing was distributed to the owners and tenants of all properties located within 500 feet of the project site.
