rezone approximately 20 acres (APN 020-160-19S) to the Smart Development
Combining District – Residential – Minimum 5,000 Square Feet (SD-R-5) Zoning

GPA 2023-01 would amend the Kerman 2040 General Plan to add the SD-R-2.5 zone
district as a compatible zone district within the Medium Density Residential land
use designation and set a minimum residential density of five (5) dwelling units per
acre.
TSM 2023-01 would subdivide an approximately 21.89 acres (APNs 020-160-36S,

and one (1) lot reserved for 54 multi-family residential units and community center.
DPL 2023-01 & 02, CUP 2023-02, and VAR 2023-01 would facilitate the 174-unit
residential development consisting of 118 single-family residential units and 56
two-bedroom multi-family residential units. The development would also include a
community center and related on/o??-site improvements (e.g., roadways, sidewalks,
