RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING THE UNIVERSITY AVENUE RESIDENTIAL DENSITY TRANSFER PILOT PROGRAM.
WHEREAS, the City of Riverside’s (“City’s”) University Avenue Specific Plan (“UASP”), established in 1993, includes quality, affordable housing as a key revitalization strategy; and WHEREAS, 96% of the UASP parcels permit housing, but only 10% of the 6,819 residential units, the maximum residential capacity analyzed and contemplated in the UASP, have been built, demonstrating constraints to providing residential units in the area; and WHEREAS, density transfer programs establish a framework for the transfer of residential development rights from one property to another property; and WHEREAS, this pilot density transfer program is intended to make housing development more feasible for constrained sites by making additional development capacity available without requiring changes to the Specific Plan or General Plan; and WHEREAS, this pilot density transfer program will provide a temporary process to approve requests for increases in residential density, within UASP boundaries, ensuring the current maximum residential capacity of the UASP remains unchanged at 6,819 units with no significant change in environmental impact relative to the UASP as it currently exists; and WHEREAS, the City desires to establish the University Avenue Housing Density Transfer Pilot Program.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Riverside, California, as follows:
Section 1: The City Council hereby establishes the University Avenue Housing Density Transfer Pilot Program as shown in Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein. / /
