Senior Housing (SR), and to amend Development Code Section 16.32.020 to allow a
density bonus of up to 34 dwelling units per gross acre in the SR zoning district when
100% of the units are reserved for low and moderate income residents; and
WHEREAS, adoption of the proposed zoning would establish land use, development and
design standards for the above described area; and

General Plan Update on October 9, 2001 which included a land use change for the

2. The proposed Development Code Amendment amending the Zoning Map and
Section 16.32.020 of the Development Code will not adversely affect the public
health, safety, and welfare or result in an illogical land use pattern.

Amendment are insignificant or can be mitigated to a less than significant level, or
there are overriding considerations that oufinreigh the potential impacts.
