Use Permit/Heather Young/503 Okeefe St.:
Request for a use permit for first floor additions and to remodel an existing nonconforming single-story, single-family residence in the R-1-U (Single-Family Urban Residential) zoning district. The proposed work would exceed 75% of the replacement value of the existing structure in a 12-month period.

Request for a use permit to demolish an existing single-story, single-family residence and construct a new two-story, single-family residence on a substandard lot with regard to lot width, depth and area in the R-1-U (Single Family Urban) zoning district.
Use Permit, Architectural Control, Major Subdivision, and Below Market Rate (BMR) Housing Agreement/Douglas McBeth/624 University Dr.:
Request for a use permit, architectural control permit, major subdivision, and BMR Housing Agreement to demolish an existing office building and construct five new three-story residential buildings with a total of six dwelling units and associated site improvements, on a substandard lot with respect to lot width in the R-3 (Apartment) zoning district. The proposal includes a major subdivision to subdivide the lot into six condominium parcels. Two units would be available for sale at below market rate (BMR), with one unit affordable for households earning up to 50 percent area median income (very low income) and one unit affordable for households earning up to 80 percent area median income (low-income). The application is being submitted subject to the State Density Bonus Law, Government Code Section 65915 and relevant amendments, which permits exceptions to the City's Zoning Ordinance requirements. The applicant is requesting waivers from development standards to decrease the minimum front and rear setbacks, modify the building profile requirement, modify the parking location requirement, and modify the exclusive open space requirement. In addition to requested waivers, the applicant is requesting four concessions to the BMR Guidelines pertaining to dispersed location of BMR and market rate units; proportionate number of bedrooms amongst BMR and market rate units; proportionate floor area amongst BMR and market rate units; and design consistency amongst BMR and market rate units. The project utilizes state density bonus law for parking requirements and sales price of market rate units based on household size. The Planning Commission is the final decision making body on the requested use permit, architectural control and BMR agreement. The Planning Commission is a recommending body to the City Council on the major subdivision.
