into 4 parcels for the mixed -use development of 671 apartment units and 20,841 square feet of
commercial space. The approved entitlements are consistent with each of the related City
requirement for the project site; and
b. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of the previously
approved entitlements as the project site as there are similar residential developments near and
around the site; and
c. The previously approved entitlements, together with the conditions applicable
thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to
properties or improvements in the vicinity. The project allows for the development of residential
units in an area identified in the City's General Plan and Zoning Code as suitable for residential
development of this type and intensity. The Planning Commission certified a Program
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) on April 27, 2022 (State Clearinghouse No. 2021050261)

different mitigation measures are not required to reduce the impacts of the project to a level of
less than significant. The subject time extension does not raise or create new environmental
impacts not already considered in the Program EIR.

this Commission hereby grants a two (2) year time extension for Design Review (DRC2021-
