That the Planning Commission recommends approval to the City Council of the proposed project, including the adoption of the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) and approval of the Zone Change and Vesting Tentative Tract Map application to build twenty-four detached single-family homes, subject to the findings in this report and attached Conditions of Approval (Attachment II).
Body
SUMMARY
The project is supported by staff because the proposed density of 14.0 dwelling units per net acre is consistent with the General Plan designation of Medium Density Residential, which allows up to 17.4 dwelling units per net acre. In addition, the project is consistent with the adjacent residential development, Camden Place, currently under construction, and the Eden Pointe development (final map and building permits currently under review) and the existing KB Home development located to the south of the project site.

In addition, as described in this report, the project includes amenities to support making the required Planned Development (PD) rezone findings.
