This correspondence responds to your request to modify CUP 1977-031 to remove the terms and conditions of the permit from a 0.85-acre portion of the 2.3-acre subject property that is governed by the CUP as referenced above. The referenced 0.85-acre portion is the project site for a proposed three-story, 36-unit, 36-foot high, one (1) bedroom multi-family residential use, 100% affordable senior housing project (St. Georges Senior Apartments) with a density bonus that was approved by Conditional Use Permit 2022-059 (CUP 2022-059). In addition, the 0.85-acre portion was redesignated from “Public/Semipublic” to “Residential High Density” by General Plan Amendment 2023-001 and rezoned form “Public/Semipublic (PS)” by Rezone 2023-001 (RZ 2023-001). Finally, the 0.85-acre portion is part of approved Resubdivision 2022-006 (RS 2022-006), a parcel map to subdivide the 2.3-acre subject property into two (2) lots of 1.45 and 0.85 acres each.
