WHEREAS, The City Council has held a duly advertised public hearing
to consider all comments on the proposed General Plan Amendment 86-03 Text;

£ollcving findings:

C. The Amendment would not be materially injurious or
detrimental to the adjacent properties.
SECTION 2: The General Plan Text (pages 33-34) shall be amended as
follows:
o Six residential density categories shall be
established for purposes of providing the City with a
range of building intensities that allow flexibility
to deal with various site constraints and
opportunities.
Density (aross averaA~)
Category Minimtm Maximum
Very Low 0.1 2
Low 2 4
Low Medium 4 8
Medium 8 14
Medium High 14 24
High 24 30
Very Low - (up to 2 dwelling units per gross acre). The
Very Low Residential category is characterized by
single-family homes on one-half acre lots, or larger, as
commonly found north of Banyan Street and in the northeast
portion of the City.
Low- (2-4 dwelling units per gross acre). The Low Density
Residential classification is characterized by
single-family homes. The density is appropriate where the
traditional neighborhood character of detached
single-family units prevails and where the level of
services including roads, shopping and recreation are not
sufficient to justify a higher density.
Low-Medium - (~-8 dwelling units per gross acre). The
low-medium category is characterized by residential
densities smae~hat greater than the low density residential
group. With gross densities averaging between 5-8 dwelling
units per acre, considerably more housing types may be
used, including typical single-family, single-family zero
lot line, duplex, and under certain conditions up to 4-6

townhouse-type units. This category would be appropriate
within low density areas to encourage greater housing
diversity without changing the single-family character of
the surrounding residential character.
~ - (8-14 dwelling units per gross acre). The medium
density residential classification allo~s living
accommodations for meditna density multiple family use, with
site development regulations that assure development
compatible with nearby lower density residential
development. Medium density residential areas and areas of
higher density, com~erclal activities and areas of greater
traffic and noise levels.
~- (1~-24 dwelling units per gross acre). This
Medium-High Residential density category is typified by low
condominiums and aparment buildings. This density is
appropriate in proximity to major community facilities and
employment opportunities and along major thoroughfares.
Hiah - (2~-30 d~elling units per gross acre). The High
Density Residential category is predominantly characterized
by apartment units and condominiums occurring at 3-~
stories. in height. This density is appropriate near
community shopping complexes and in proximity to centers of
omplo~ment.
o A planned development approach to residential
development is encouraged because it provides greater
flexibility for the .project concept. ~nere site
conditions meri t, the City shal 1 encourage the
clustering of housing which allows the maximum usage
of land while retaining needed open space and other
ameni ties.
o Areas specially designated in Figure III-1 shall be
considered areas where master planned developments are
mandatory.
