required by the San José Municipal Code and the rules of this City Council; and WHEREAS, this City Council has heard and considered the testimony presented to it at the public hearing, and has further considered written materials submitted on behalf of the project applicant, City staff, and other interested parties;
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 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 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 or grading permits, whichever comes first, the applicant would be required to record a Regulatory Agreement with the City of San José.
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 is to be constructed. Building A, consisting of two units, would be accessible from two driveways along the west side of Woodset Drive. Building B would NVF:MJV:JMD

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.
Pursuant to Section 20.190.060 of the Zoning Code, a parking ratio of 0.5 spaces 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 and would be accessible via private driveways. The associated Vesting Tentative Map includes easements to allow ingress/egress and emergency vehicle access throughout the site.
The project includes an associated Vesting Tentative Map (File No. T19-028) to subdivide one lot into 16 lots. Two of the lots would be for common areas and would include parking, landscaping, and a trash/recycling area. The remaining 14 lots would be residential lots ranging from 787 square feet to 1,574 square feet.
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 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 NVF:MJV:JMD

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 project is consistent with the following General Plan Goals and 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 / 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 Zoning District did 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 allows 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 NVF:MJV:JMD

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 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 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. California State Density Bonus Law (Government Code Section 65915) The project consists of the construction 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 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, 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 Residential Neighborhood Land Use Designation allows up to 16 DU/AC if 50% or more of the development on the same block (both sides of the street) is developed at a density greater than 8 DU/AC. The surrounding neighborhood as a residential density of approximately 13 DU/AC, which would allow for the development of up to 10 units. With the level of affordability (100% low-income), the project is eligible for a Density Bonus of up to 80% or 18 total units. However, the applicant is only pursuing an approximate 42% density bonus or 4 units. In accordance with the State Density Bonus Law, the project has requested a parking reduction, and one waiver as follows:
Incentives/Concessions:
Reduction of Side Yard Setback from 10 feet to 6 feet (Lot 1 only) Reduction of Setback to Public Right-of-Way from 10 feet to 5 feet (Lots 1 and 2 only)
Analysis: Because of the need to connect the current terminus of both Woodset Drive and Woodset Court public streets across the project site, this limits the developable area of the property. The site plan, as designed, shows two units on the western portion of the property (Units 1 and 2). Only these two units require the granting of concessions to setback requirements – Units 3 to 14 meet all required setbacks.

For Lots 1 and 2, if the typical MUN side yard and right of way setbacks were required, the building footprint for the two units would need to be reduced 4 feet on one side and by 5 feet along the length of the building’s frontage. This would reduce the building footprint so that the three‐bedroom and four-bedroom units could not be accommodated, and instead replaced by two‐bedroom units. This would remove one of the accessible units from the project (Unit 2) and reduce the number of people being served by this affordable neighborhood (smaller units = smaller households).
Alternatively, if a unit layout were to be designed that could meet the setback requirements, an additional story would need to be added to the building to achieve the same unit sizes (3‐bedroom and 4‐bedroom units) and similar square footage.
Adding a third story to the units would increase the structural and framing costs for the building and could also impact the design of the foundation. Costs would include both hard costs such as material and labor expenses involved in the construction of three‐ story units (that are not being used elsewhere and out of context with the neighborhood) as well as soft costs including architectural and engineering consultant time and materials to create new floor plans and unit layouts. The consultant costs would be incurred at the entitlement stage (new drawings and designs for the Planning submittal) and also at the Building Permit stage (additional construction drawings for another unit type being utilized in the project). New structural assessments would need to be completed as well. A conservative estimate of these additional project costs would be $40,000 for technical consultant time and materials as well as labor and material costs associated with a three‐story building.
Parking Reduction
Reduction in Code Required Parking Spaces (Section 20.190.060 of the San Jose Municipal Zoning Code)
Analysis: 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.
Waiver:
Reduction in required private open space (170 square feet) per unit (Section
20.55.104 of the San Jose Municipal Zoning Code)
Analysis: With the incentives/concessions granted in accordance with State Density Bonus Law, the private open space areas for each of the units are 10 to 11 feet deep and range, based on the width of the townhouse unit/lot, from 176 square feet to 282 square feet. In order to provide 300 square feet of private open space for each unit, the depth of the private open space areas would need to increase (by 7.75 additional feet for the narrowest townhome unit). If the depth of the private open space area needed to increase, this would have physical NVF:MJV:JMD

implications on the layout of the rest of the site – resulting in the provision of fewer housing units, encroachment into parking and circulation areas, reduced number of parking spaces, and modifications to the common open space amenities that are currently designed to be equally accessible to all residents. The total amount of private open space required for 14 units at 300 square feet per unit is 4,200 square feet. The project has a total of 3,088 square feet of private open space plus common open space areas shared by all residents. This is 1,112 square feet less than the minimum standard. In order to provide this additional private open space square footage, at least one housing unit would need to be removed from the project, thus physically precluding the development of the project at the density allowed with the requested incentives.
As conditioned in this Site Development Permit, prior to the issuance of Building Permits, the applicant would be required to record a Regulatory Agreement with the City of San José.
5. Zoning Ordinance Compliance.
Land Use
The project was rezoned from the R-1-8 Single-Family Residence Zoning District to the MUN Mixed Use Neighborhood Zoning District to allow for the project development to proceed at the allowable density under the State Density Bonus Law. The MUN Mixed Use Neighborhood Zoning District allows for the construction of multifamily developments as a permitted use with the issuance of a Site Development Permit.
Development Standards
The table below highlights the project’s conformance with the applicable development standards as outlined in Table 20-137 of Section 20.55.104 of the Zoning Code. As the project proposes townhouses, the “Alternate Setback Regulations” of the MUN Zoning District apply to the project.

accordance with Chapter 20.90 of the Zoning Code. A total of 14 bicycle parking spaces would be provided.
Noise
Pursuant to Section 20.55.202 of the Zoning Code, there are no maximum noise thresholds for properties in the MUN Zoning District. The project includes standard permit conditions to reduce construction noise impacts to surrounding uses. Permit conditions include construction of solid plywood fences around the ground level construction site, equipping all internal combustion engine-driven equipment with intake and exhaust mufflers, locating stationary noise-generating equipment as far away from sensitive noise receptors as possible, utilizing quiet air compressors, notifying all adjacent businesses and residences of the construction schedule in writing, and appointing a construction disturbance coordinator who would be responsible for responding to any noise complaints. Additionally, the project is within 500 feet of a residence. Pursuant to Section 20.100.450 of the Zoning Code, construction hours are limited to 7:00 am to 7:00 pm Monday through Friday.
Tree Removals
The project is subject to the following tree replacement ratios as shown in the table below.
Tree Replacement Ratios

*x:x = tree replacement to tree loss ratio
Note: Trees greater than or equal to 38-inch circumference measured at 54 inches above natural grade shall not be removed unless a Tree Removal Permit, or equivalent, has been approved for the removal of such trees. For Multi-Family residential, Commercial and Industrial properties, a permit is required for removal of trees of any size.
A 38-inch tree equals 12.1 inches in diameter.
** A 24-inch box replacement tree = two 15-gallon replacement trees Single Family and Two-dwelling properties may replace trees at a ratio of 1:1.
The project includes the removal of two ordinance-size trees. The trees to be removed are located within the proposed project building footprint. The trees to be removed are one palm (75 inches in circumference) and one oak (101 inches in circumference). The removal of the two trees requires the replacement of eight (15-gallon) or four (24-inch box) trees on site. The project includes the planting of 15 trees on site. The trees to be NVF:MJV:JMD

planted include six Coast live oak, five Chinese pistache, and five Shumared red oak trees. All trees to be planted would be 24-inch box size.
6. Residential Design Guidelines
The project application was submitted to the Department of Planning, Building and Code Enforcement in July 2019, prior to the adoption of the Citywide Design Standards and Guidelines in March 2021. Therefore, the project was reviewed for consistency with the Residential Design Guidelines, which were approved by City Council in February 1997 and are applicable to all residential project submitted prior to March 2021. The project is consistent with the following provisions of Residential Design Guidelines for townhouse projects.
Street Frontage
o Building Orientation – The major orientation of buildings nearest the street should be parallel to that street or to the prevailing pattern of existing property lines. This guideline is not intended to limit either the inclusion of architectural elements, articulation, or embellishments that may not align with the street or the inclusion in large projects of minor buildings that do not align with the street.
Analysis: The project would continue the pattern of building orientation based on the surrounding development. The buildings with frontage on Woodset Drive would face the street and would continue the pattern of building orientation with the existing residences to the north, south, and west. The buildings at the eastern portion of the site would continue the orientation of the existing residences to the south. The street facing unit at the eastern end of the project site would be oriented towards Woodset Drive and would have the primary entrance facing the street.
Building Design
o At least one architectural projection per unit. Such a projection must project no less than 2 feet 6 inches from the major wall plane, must be between 4 feet 6 inches and 15 feet wide, and must extend the full height of a one- story building, at least one-half the height of a two-story building. o A change in wall plane of at least 3 feet for at least 12 feet every 2 units. o Both vertical and horizontal articulation is encouraged for sloped roofs.
Rooflines should be representative of the units under them and no more than two units should be covered by a single, unarticulated roof. Roof articulation may be achieved by changes in plane of no less than 2 feet 6 inches and/or the use of traditional roof forms such as gables, hips, and dormers. Hipped or gabled roofs covering the entire mass of a building are preferable to mansard roofs or segments of pitched roof applied at the building's edge.

Item No.: 10.1(b)(4)
DRAFT – Contact the Office of the City Clerk at (408) 535-1260 or [email protected] for final document.
Analysis: As shown on the approved project plans, the building facades include variations in plane, window projections, highlighted building entrances, changes in roof plane, and an articulated façade throughout.
Building articulation and changes in minor architectural details occur throughout the development so that no two buildings are the same. Perimeters, Walls, and Fences
o Height - Fences and walls should be no more than 7 feet high, except when adjacent to freeways, expressways, railroads, incompatible uses, or when they are required for sound attenuation.
Analysis: As shown on the landscape plan, the project includes the construction of a 6-foot-high wood fence at the perimeter of the site and between private yards.
Landscaping
o Landscaping should be provided by the developer in all setback areas between project walls and/or fences and the rights-of-way of public streets and sidewalks. This landscaping should be generous and should include trees and/or shrubs as well as groundcover. Tall shrubs or vines should be planted to help screen walls and fences and provide protection from graffiti. o The developer should plant street trees of an approved species and size along all public and private streets. There should be at least one tree for approximately every 25 feet of street frontage, depending on species, or at least one tree for each lot abutting the street. The City's street tree planting standards should be used.
Analysis: The project includes an extensive landscaping plan. All areas not covered by buildings, walkways, and driveways would be landscaped with a mix of trees, shrubs, and ground cover. The perimeter of the site would be landscaped to screen the development from adjacent uses and streets.
The project provides a conceptual street tree planting plan, which would be finalized by the Department of Transportation at the construction stage. Bicycle Parking
o Attached unit projects, which do not include enclosed garages, should provide secure parking facilities (one bicycle space per two units) to encourage the use of bicycles instead of automobiles.
Analysis: The project would include a secure bicycle locker in the common area as well as bicycle lockers in the rear yards of each unit. In conformance with the Zoning Code, a total of 14 spaces would be provided. Trash Enclosures should be:

9. Site Development Permit Findings: Section 20.100.630 of the San José Municipal Code specifies the required findings for the approval of a Site Development Permit. a. The site development permit, as approved, is consistent with and will further the policies of the general plan and applicable specific plans and area development policies.
Analysis: The project is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of Residential Neighborhood. The project allows for the construction of 14 units on site (16.27 DU/AC), which would conform with the allowable density of the Residential Neighborhood land use designation with the implementation of the State Density Bonus Law. The project is consistent with General Plan Housing policies regarding the provision of affordable housing and the implementation of the State Density Bonus Law. 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 moderate-income low-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.
b. The site development permit, as approved, conforms with the zoning code and all other provisions of the San José Municipal Code applicable to the project.
Analysis: As discussed above, the project conforms with all requirements of the MUN Mixed Use Neighborhood Zoning District. With the exception of the concessions and waivers under the State Density Bonus Law, as discussed above, the project conforms with all required setbacks, heights, lot sizes, and parking requirements of the MUN Zoning District.
c. The site development permit, as approved, is consistent with applicable city council policies, or counterbalancing considerations justify the inconsistency.

sign has been posted on the project frontage since March 20, 2021. d. The interrelationship between the orientation, location, and elevations of proposed buildings and structures and other uses on-site are mutually compatible and aesthetically harmonious.
Analysis: The 12 units on the eastern end of the property would be oriented in the same manner, facing the private driveway to the south of the site. The two units to the west of Woodset Drive would be oriented towards the street. All of the units would be two stories and would include adequate space for all walkways, driveways, and landscaping. As discussed in the Residential Design Guidelines section above, the buildings would maintain a similar architectural style while providing variation in building plane and minor architectural details. e. The orientation, location and elevation of the proposed buildings and structures and other uses on the site are compatible with and are aesthetically harmonious with adjacent development or the character of the neighborhood.
Analysis: The project would continue the pattern of building orientation based on the surrounding development. The buildings with frontage on Woodset Drive would face the street and would continue the pattern of building orientation with the existing residences to the north, south, and west. The buildings at the eastern portion of the site would continue the orientation of the existing residences to the south. The street facing unit at the eastern end of the project site would be oriented towards Woodset Drive and would have the primary entrance facing the street. The townhouses would all be two stories, similar to the existing two story residences located directly to the north and south of the subject site. f. The environmental impacts of the project, including but not limited to noise, vibration, dust, drainage, erosion, storm water runoff, and odor which, even if insignificant for purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), will not have an unacceptable negative affect on adjacent property or properties.
Analysis: This Site Development Permit Resolution includes standard environmental permit conditions to reduce construction impacts. The conditions would reduce impacts related to air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geological resources, hazards and hazardous materials, water quality, and noise. All construction activity would be temporary and would be limited between the hours 7:00 am to 7:00 pm Monday through Friday. The project is also conditioned to appoint a construction disturbance coordinator to respond to any construction related complaints. Therefore, given the implementation of the standard permit conditions, the project would not have an unacceptable negative affect on adjacent properties.
g. Landscaping, irrigation systems, walls and fences, features to conceal outdoor activities, exterior heating, ventilating, plumbing, utility and trash facilities are sufficient to maintain or upgrade the appearance of the neighborhood.
