SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting approval of a Zone Change, Density Bonus, and Site Plan Review application to construct a four building, three story townhome development on a vacant infill site located just north of Tennyson Road and west of Huntwood Avenue on Manon Avenue. The development will include 22 rental townhome units, 41 parking spaces, and new site landscaping and open spaces. The project site is located within the Single Family Residential (RS) zoning district and is designated as Medium Density Residential (MDR) in the Hayward 2040 General Plan. The applicant is requesting a rezoning from Single Family Residential (RS) to Medium Density Residential (RM) and a density bonus to accommodate the 22 townhomes proposed with two units designated for very low-income households. As part of the density bonus, the applicant is requesting a waiver to reduce the required front and rear yard setbacks and to reduce the parking requirement for the 3-bedroom units.
On September 8, 2022, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to consider the project. No members of the public spoke during the hearing. Following questions and deliberation, the Commission voted 5-0 to recommend Council approval.
