A request to authorize a Conditional Use Permit (“CUP”) to replace an existing housing building known as the Sequoia Building with a new housing building within the Hope Gardens Family Center. The new building will consist of approximately 106,410 square feet of building space to be used for 117 housing units and supportive services. The project proposes to increase the housing capacity for up to a total of 525 formerly homeless women and children. Approximately 3,200 cubic yards of cut and 3,200 cubic yards of fill is proposed to be balance on site. There are a total 57 protected coast live oak trees in the project area.

The project seeks a request for an increase in the building height limit to up to 51 feet.
