Document Description
The proposed project would involve rezoning the project site to Planned Community (PC) in accordance with PMC Section 18.38 and merging two parcels for the construction of a three story, 10-unit condominium building organized around a common access court that would provide both vehicular and pedestrian access. The project applicant has submitted an application under the City’s Planned Home Zoning (PHZ) process which would allow for exceptions and deviations from development standards with the provision of community benefits and amenities. Pursuant to PAMC Section 16.65, the proposed project would provide 20 percent, or two, below-market rate units.
In accordance with CEQA, the City of Palo Alto prepared a 15183 Consistency Checklist demonstrating that the prior environmental analysis in the original EIR certified in 2017 adequately addresses the potential environmental effects of the project, and the project does not require subsequent environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, and supports the City's finding that the project would not result in significant new issues nor exceed the level of impacts identified in the previously certified 2017 EIR requiring additional analysis under CEQA.
