Planning PPR Comments
• Density:
> Current Zoning and General Plan: 16 du/acre = 39 units. > Existing Site: 62 units (26 du/acre), which is legal nonconforming. • Density Bonus for a 100% affordable project:
> State Law: 39 base units + 80% density bonus = 71 units max. > Proposed Project: 107 units, or a 182% density bonus. • Fair Oaks Orange Grove Specific Plan Update:
> Draft Plan: 16 du/ac for the site, which is consistent with the General Plan range of 0-16 du/ac.
