Document Description
The Housing Element update includes a program to facilitate the development of ADUs. Other opportunities to meet the RHNA allocation exist in the City’s R3 (one property) and Mixed Use Overlay (with multiple parcels). The Mixed Use (MU) Overlay allows 30 units per acre with an FAR of 4.0 and up to four stories. The City has not yet amended the Zoning Code to implement the Mixed Use designation but utilizes the R-3 standards for the recent project application. Based on density, the MU sites (20-30 units per acre) can also facilitate lower income housing. The MU sites are assigned to the moderate and above moderate income RHNA categories. The City has also identified two sites for rezone into R-3 residential uses.
