Priority Housing Site No. 24
Oversight/typo for Site no. 24 needs correction
14 residential only Housing Priority sites with R3
zoning,all except this one have R3/TH zoning
Site 24 described in Housing Element Table B4-8:
Table B4-7 omitted TH designation unintentionally
Recommendation
Change to zoning:
Does NOT change density (i.e., number of units that can be
built on site) allowed by General Plan
Ensures zoning is consistent with the General Plan and
Housing Element text
Allows development to proceed as anticipated – with
townhomes
HCD expects City to take any actions necessary to enable
expected development identified in Housing Element
Recommend adopting resolution recommending that City
Council amend zoning for Priority Housing Element site no. 24 at
20865 McClellan Rd from R3 to R3/TH
