NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN JOSE THAT:
After considering evidence presented at the public hearing, the City Council finds that the following are the relevant facts and findings regarding this proposed project:
1. Site Description and Surrounding Uses. The subject 0.86-gross acre site is located on the west side of South Jackson Avenue between Woodset Lane to the north and Portico Court to the south. The project site is bounded by a middle school (Rocketship Fuerza Community Prep) across South Jackson Avenue to the east, single-family residences to the south and west, and a church (Cosmopolitan Evangelical Church) to the north. The site is currently a flat, vacant lot with two ordinance-size trees
2. Project Description. The project consists of the development of 14 townhomes configured in four buildings on an approximately 0.86-gross acre vacant site. The project includes the construction of a 100% affordable housing project. The applicant would provide two low-income units (households earning less than 80% AMI) and 12 low-income moderate-income units (households earning less than 120% AMI). All of the units would be covered by a deed restriction recorded against the property, which has already been completed and recorded in connection with the site acquisition funds the City of San Jose provided to Habitat for Humanity in September 2020. As the project is providing 100% of the units at low-income levels, the project the project is eligible for the provisions of the State Density Bonus Law pursuant to Government Code Section 65915(b)(1)(A).
The project includes concessions for the reduction of the side setback, reduction in the setback from the public right-of-way, a reduction in parking (pursuant to Section
20.190.060 of the Zoning Code), and a waiver for the reduction of required private open space. See the Density Bonus Discussion, below, for more analysis. As conditioned in this Site Development Permit, prior to the issuance of Building Permits or Grading Permits, whichever comes first, the applicant would be required to record a Regulatory Agreement with the City of San Jose.
In addition, a 52-foot-wide public street connecting the north and south segments of Woodset Lane and would include 9-foot-wide sidewalks on either side of the newly dedicated street must be constructed. Building A, consisting of two units, would be accessible from two driveways along the west side of Woodset Drive. Building B would be accessible from a single driveway along the east side of Woodset Drive. Buildings C and D would be accessible from a single driveway along South Jackson Avenue.
This Vesting Tentative Map facilitates this development through the subdivision of one lot into 16 lots.
3. General Plan Conformance. The site is designated Residential Neighborhood on the Land Use/Transportation Diagram of the Envision San José 2040 General Plan.
This designation is applied broadly throughout the City to encompass most of the established, single-family residential neighborhoods, including both the suburban and NVF:MJV:JMD

traditional residential neighborhood areas which comprise the majority of its developed land. The intent of this designation is to preserve the existing character of these neighborhoods and to strictly limit new development to infill projects which closely conform to the prevailing existing neighborhood character as defined by density, lot size and shape, massing and neighborhood form and pattern. New infill development should improve and/ or enhance existing neighborhood conditions by completing the existing neighborhood pattern and bringing infill properties into general conformance with the quality and character of the surrounding neighborhood. New infill development should be integrated into the existing neighborhood pattern, continuing and, where applicable, extending or completing the existing street network.
The average lot size, orientation, and form of new structures for any new infill development must therefore generally match the typical lot size and building form of any adjacent development, with particular emphasis given to maintaining consistency with other development that fronts onto a public street to be shared by the proposed new project.
For infill projects where 50% or more of the development on the same block (both sides of the street) is developed at a density greater than 8 dwelling units per acre (DU/AC), new development can match the prevailing density. For any new project to exceed 8 DU/AC, it is necessary that: (1) other policies in this Plan are met, (2) applicable design guidelines are met, and (3) development does not exceed 16 DU/AC. For example, on a site bordered by development with a prevailing average density of 12 DU/AC, new development should include the number of units that would most closely match this density, provided that it would also meet the applicable design guidelines and other Envision General Plan policies.
Analysis: The Residential Neighborhood Land Use Designation allows a residential density of up 8 DU/AC or up to 16 DU/AC if the project matches the prevailing density of the surrounding neighborhood. However, the project includes an application for and qualifies under the State Density Bonus Law, which would allow the construction of up to 18 units on site or a residential density of approximately 20.9 DU/AC. The project proposes a residential density of approximately 16.27 DU/AC. Therefore, the construction of 14 units on site would conform with the land use designation of Residential Neighborhood with the implementation of the State Density Bonus Law.
The subdivision is consistent with the following General Plan Policies:
Implementation Policy IP-1.8: Use standard Zoning Districts to promote consistent development patterns when implementing new land use entitlements. Limit use of the Planned Development Zoning process to unique types of development or land uses which cannot be implemented through standard Zoning Districts, or to sites with unusual physical characteristics that require special consideration due to those constraints.
Implementation Policy IP-8.2: Use the City’s conventional zoning districts, contained in its Zoning Ordinance, to implement the Envision General Plan Land Use/ NVF:MJV:JMD

Transportation Diagram. These districts include a range of allowed land uses, development intensities, and standards within major land use categories (residential, commercial and industrial) together with zoning districts for other land uses such as mixed use and open space. The various ranges of allowed use and development intensity correspond generally to the respective Envision General Plan land use designations, while providing greater detail as to the appropriate land uses and form of development.
Analysis: The project included a Conventional Rezoning from the R-1-8 Single-Family Residence Zoning District to the MUN Mixed Use Neighborhood Zoning District. While the R-1-8 Single-Family Residence Zoning District and General Plan land use designation aligned (Residential Neighborhood), the R-1-8 Single-Family Residence Zoning District would not support multifamily (townhouse development) at more than 16 dwelling units per acre. However, the project includes an application under the State Density Bonus Law, which would allow the construction of the project at the density proposed (16.27 DU/AC). Therefore, a Conventional Rezoning to the MUN Mixed Use Neighborhood was included in the application. The MUN Mixed Use Neighborhood Zoning District would allow the development of the project at the allowable density under the Residential Neighborhood land use designation.
Housing Policy H-1.2: Facilitate the provision of housing sites and structures across location, type, price and status as rental or ownership that respond to the needs of all economic and demographic segments of the community including seniors, families, the homeless and individuals with special needs.
Housing Policy H-2.1: Facilitate the production of extremely low-, very low-, low-, and moderate income housing by maximizing use of appropriate policies and financial resources at the federal, state, and local levels; and various other programs.
Housing Policy H-2.4: Allow affordable residential development at densities beyond the maximum density allowed under an existing Land Use/Transportation Diagram designation, consistent with the minimum requirements of the State Density Bonus Law (Government Code Section 65915) and local ordinances.
Analysis: The project would include the construction of a 100% affordable housing project. The applicant would provide two low-income units (households earning less than 80% AMI) and 12 moderate-income units (households earning less than 120% AMI). All of the units would be covered by a deed restriction recorded against the property. As discussed below, the project would utilize the State Density Bonus Law to allow for the construction of the affordable project at the density proposed.
4. Municipal Code Compliance. The project is in the R-1-8 Single-Family Residence Zoning District. The project includes a Conventional Rezoning to the MUN Mixed Use Neighborhood Zoning District to allow for the proposed development to proceed at the allowable density under the State Density Bonus Law.

Parking
As discussed in the State Density Bonus Law Section above and shown in the table below, the project has requested a parking reduction in accordance with Section
20.190.060 of the Zoning Code.
Vehicle Parking – Table 20-290
Number of Units Parking Ratio
14 0.5 space per bedroom
Total Parking Required 22 spaces
Total Parking Provided 26 paces
Pursuant to Section 20.190.060 of the Zoning Code, a parking ratio of 0.5 space per bedroom may be applied as the project provides at least 20% of the units for lower income households, and is within ½ mile of a major transit stop (Alum Rock and Jackson 522 BRT Station). A total of 22 spaces would be required. A total of 26 surface parking spaces would be provided on site. Additionally, the project would be required to provide 4 bicycle parking spaces in accordance with Chapter 20.90 of the Zoning Code. A total of 14 bicycle parking spaces would be provided.
5. City Council Policy 6-30: Public Outreach Policy
Staff followed Council Policy 6-30: Public Outreach Policy in order to inform the public of the proposed project. An on-site sign has been posted on the project frontage since March 20, 2021. A notice of the public hearing was distributed to the owners and tenants of all properties located within 500 feet of the project site and posted on the City website. The staff report is also posted on the City’s website. Staff has also been available to respond to questions from the public.
6. Environmental Review.
A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) supported by an Initial Study was prepared for the 101 South Jackson Avenue Townhomes Project in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines. Mitigation measures were developed to lessen the following impacts to less than significant levels: exposure of sensitive receptors to toxic air contaminants during construction, and disturbance and/or destruction of nesting migratory birds during construction.
Standard Permit Conditions are also required to ensure no impacts occur during construction and operation of the project. These Standard Permit Conditions include best management practices for construction related air quality impacts, protection of nesting migratory birds, compliance with the Santa Clara Valley Habitat Plan, protection of unknown subsurface cultural resources and human remains, compliance with the California Building Code for seismic safety of the proposed building, erosion NVF:MJV:JMD

control during construction activities, water quality impacts during construction, and best management practices to control noise during construction.
The MND was circulated for public review and comment from April 15, 2022 through May 5, 2022. One comment letter was received from Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). PG&E commented that the applicant should contact PG&E prior to ground disturbance to identify any underground utilities on the project site.
Identifying underground utilities is standard construction practice and does not change the analysis or the findings of the MND for the project. The MND and supporting Initial Study, technical reports, and comment letter are available on the City’s website at www.sanjoseca.gov/negativedeclarations.
7. Vesting Tentative Map Findings:
The City Council concludes and finds, based on the analysis of the above facts, that:
1. Conformance with the Subdivision Ordinance and the Subdivision Map Act. In accordance with San José Municipal Code (SJMC) Section 19.12.130, the City Council may approve the vesting tentative map if the City Council cannot make any of the findings for denial in Government Code Section 66474, and the City Council has reviewed and considered the information relating to compliance of the project with the California Environmental Quality Act and determines the environmental review to be adequate. Additionally, the City Council may approve the project if the City Council does not make any of the findings for denial in San José Municipal Code Section 19.12.220. San José Municipal Code Section
19.12.130 incorporates the findings for denial in Section 66474 of the Government Code, as set forth below.
a. The City Council finds that the proposed subdivision shown on the Vesting Tentative Map, subject to the conditions listed below and the requirements for project design and improvements is consistent with applicable General and Specific Plans of the City of San José, in that:
Analysis: As discussed in detail above, the project is consistent with the General Plan.
b. The City Council has considered the proposed subdivision shown on the Vesting Tentative Map, with the imposed conditions, to determine whether to make any of the findings set forth in the subsections of Section 66474 of the Government Code of the State of California which states “A legislative body of a city or county shall deny approval of a vesting tentative map, or a parcel map for which a vesting tentative map was not required, if it makes any of the following findings:”
a) That the proposed map is not consistent with applicable General and Specific Plans as specified in Section 65451.

b) That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is not consistent with applicable General and Specific Plans.
c) That the site is not physically suitable for the type of development. d) That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development.
e) That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
f) That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements is likely to cause serious public health problems.
g) That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision.
Analysis: Based on the review of the subdivision of one lot into 16 lots, the Director of Planning, Building and Code Enforcement of the City of San José (the Director) is recommending approval of the Vesting Tentative Map, because none of the above findings can be made for the denial of the subdivision. As discussed above, the project is consistent with the General Plan goals, policies, and land use designation. The project complies with the General Plan goals and policies related to housing, land use, and implementation. The project site is physically suitable for the buildings and the residential density is consistent with the surrounding neighborhood. Furthermore, the project site does not contain historic resources or sensitive habitats or wildlife. The project includes the extension of a public street (Woodset Drive) with curb, gutter, and sidewalk and would be accessible from Woodset Drive and South Jackson Avenue. The map provides the necessary easements for access for emergency Vehicles, ingress/egress, utilities, and drainage. Additionally, as explained above, the project will be consistent with the MUN Mixed Use Neighborhood Zoning District.
In accordance with the findings set forth above, a Vesting Tentative Map to use the subject property for said purpose specified above and subject to each and all of the conditions hereinafter set forth is hereby granted. This City Council expressly declares that it would not have granted this Vesting Tentative Map except upon and subject to each and all of said conditions, each and all of which conditions shall run with the land and be binding upon the owner and all subsequent owners of the subject property, and all persons who use the subject property for the use conditionally permitted hereby.
