2555 College Housing Project Revised IS/MND

2555 College Housing Project Revised IS/MND

The project site currently contains a vacant, one-car auto maintenance garage, parking area, and a former service station office/convenience store. The proposed project would demolish the existing structures and construct a 10,024 sf, four-story residential building containing 11 housing units. The project proposes to reserve 14 percent of the base project units for very-low-income households, which allows for a 46.25 percent density bonus on the site provided under Government Code § 65915. This equates to one unit to be allocated as affordable to very low-income households as defined in Section 50105 of the Health and Safety Code. The remaining units would be market rate. The project would also provide 20 bicycle parking spaces: 16 covered long-term, and four short-term spaces on sidewalk-mounted bicycle racks. The building height base limit in the R-3 zone for a residential building is 35 feet; this project proposes a maximum height of 47 feet, 3 inches using a density bonus waiver. The site is near public transportation, dedicated bike lanes, downtown services, and existing parking garages, and will provide housing near the University of California Berkeley campus.
