PLANNING DIVISION
The project shall comply with Conditions of Approval for the 3155 El Camino Real Residential Project (PLN2020-14674) and Mitigated Negative Declaration/Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (CEQ2020-01080).
Developer shall submit to the City Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) or equivalent instrument assigning and governing perpetual maintenance of the private street in good condition for the life of the Project, prior to issuance of building permits. Said document shall be recorded along with the Title for each property with the Santa Clara County Recorder’s Office.
PARKS & RECREATION
This memo assumes the Project is a subdivision and the Quimby Act provisions will apply. The project will generate an estimated 144 residents (2.4 persons/household x 60 units). Based on the Quimby Act standard of 3.0 acres/1000 residents | MFA standard of 2.6 acres/1,000 residents, the amount of public parkland required for this Project to mitigate the impact of the new resident demand is approximately 0.432-acres. The equivalent fee due in lieu of parkland dedication is therefore $2,668,080. Final calculations will depend upon the actual number and type of units and the mix of parkland dedicated and remaining fee due, at the discretion of the City.
Application for Credit. It is unlikely the Project could achieve the requirements needed to qualify for credit; therefore, the Project would not be eligible for 50% credit against any fees due in lieu of parkland dedication.
Dwelling Unit Tax. A dwelling unit tax (DUT) is also due based on the number of units and additional bedrooms per City Code Chapter 3.15. The Project mix includes 28 two- bedroom units and 32 three-bedroom units for a total DUT of $1,360.
Calculations may change if the number of units change, if any areas do not conform to the Ordinance and City Code Chapter 17.35, and/or if the fee schedule for new residential development fees due in lieu of parkland dedication changes before this Project is deemed complete by Planning.
