Subdivision Action Deadline: July 19, 1998
SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
The subject property is a 6,500 sq. ft. parcel with a 50-foot frontage located on the west side of 22nd Street between Arizona Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard. Surrounding uses consist one story bungalows with additional multifamily rental units in the rear of the lots to the north and east (R2 District), two-story multi-family apartments and condominium structures in the R2 District to the south and west.
Zoning District: R2 Low Density Multiple Family Residential District
Land Use District: Low Density Housing
Parcel Area: 50' x 130' = 6,500 sq. ft.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Proposed is the construction of a two-story, 30' tall, four-unit condominium building with an 8 space subterranean parking garage accessed from 22nd Street. The townhouse floor plan features the living room, kitchen and dining room on the ground floor; a mezzanine level between the first and second floors; a second level with two bedrooms and 2 full baths; and rooftop sundecks for each unit.
MUNICIPAL CODE AND GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE
The proposed project is consistent with the Municipal Code as conditioned and in conformance with the General Plan as shown in Attachment A.
CEQA STATUS
The project is categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to Class 3(b) of the State Implementation Guidelines in that the project involves the construction of not more than six dwelling units in an urbanized area.
FEES
The project is subject to a Parks and Recreation Facilities Tax of $200 per unit and a Condominium Facilities Tax of $1,000 per saleable unit for a total tax of $4,800.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 9.04.20.20.080, within 30 days after the subject application was deemed complete, the applicant posted a sign on the property stating the following information: Project case number, brief project description, name and telephone number of applicant, site address, date, time and location of public hearing, and the City Planning Division phone number. It is the applicant's responsibility to update the hearing date if it is changed after posting.
In addition, pursuant to Municipal Code Section 9.04.20.22.050, notice of the public hearing was mailed to all owners and residential and commercial tenants of property located within a 500 foot radius of the project and published in The Argonaut at least ten consecutive calendar days prior to the hearing. A copy of the notice is contained in Attachment B.
ANALYSIS
Background
The site is vacant and has no trees. A single unit (not listed on the Santa Monica Historic Resources Inventory) was removed from Santa Monica Rent Control via the Ellis Act and demolished in 1997. The structure was demolished without a replacement project in accordance with Section 9.04.10.16.010(b)(3) which allows for the demolition of a building without a replacement project if the structure was damaged by the Northridge Earthquake and was yellow or red tagged. The subject building was yellow tagged after the earthquake.
Project Design
Three of the four proposed townhome units are 1,651 square feet in size and the front unit is slightly larger at 1,701 square feet. The units feature common area living/dining rooms, and kitchens on the ground level. All units have pedestrian access from the north side yard.
The Code requires additional average stepbacks for portions of the building above fourteen feet in height on both the side and front building elevations. The proposed design complies with this requirement. The building design features a flat roof surrounded by a 42-inch parapet. Private sundecks are proposed behind the rooftop parapet and are accessed by a private stairway from each unit. The sundecks are separated by individual walls which are no higher than the 42-inch roof parapet. Each unit contains over 300 sq. ft. of private open space, well exceeding the area required by Code. The open space consists of second level balconies along the north and south facades, and the roofdecks. Portions of the building's upper floors (containing the second floor bathrooms) are cantilevered beyond the first floor level and, by Code, are included in the building's overall lot coverage. The project complies with the minimum 50% landscaping required for the front yard and south side yard. The north side yard appears to be slightly below the 50% requirement and therefore staff has added a condition that the landscape plan be modified prior to Architectural Review Board (ARB) approval.
The plans do not indicate the location or placement of mechanical equipment. A condition of approval requires a preliminary location plan prior to filing an ARB application.
Parking and Circulation
Two parking spaces are provided for each unit within the subterranean garage which is accessed from 22nd Street. There is no rear alley. No guest parking space is required for developments of less than five units and none is provided. Pedestrian access to the subterranean parking garage is through the individual units and through a secondary exit stairway located in the rear yard. Stairs are provided adjacent to the private garage parking spaces for each unit. The Parking and Traffic Division has approved the size and configuration of the parking stalls.
Inclusionary Housing
The project is subject to the City's Inclusionary Housing Program which requires a four-unit development to provide either one inclusionary unit, or to pay an in-lieu fee pursuant to Municipal Code Section 9.28.050(b). Proposition R requires that thirty percent (30%) of all new multi-family residential housing constructed each year be affordable to low and moderate income households. The City is presently in the process of revising its Inclusionary Housing Program which is currently codified at SMMC Section 9.28.010 et seq. Consistent with Proposition R and in recognition of the need for developers to assist in affordable housing production to mitigate the impact of market rate development, the City staff is recommending that the City Council enact an ordinance which would require developers of market rate multi-family housing to assist in the production of affordable housing through a variety of options, including the payment of an affordable housing development fee.
Neighborhood Compatibility
The developer has applied to construct four condominium units, which is the maximum density permitted by right on the subject parcel. The building's overall massing is consistent with the City's development standards for setback and step backs. The proposed development is designed to be compatible with adjacent one and two story apartments and provides ample private open space for the individual units. The landscaped front and south side yards exceed the minimum area required, and per Condition #7, landscaping along the north side yard will be required to meet the City's minimum standards.
RECOMMENDATION
The proposed condominium, as conditioned, complies with all applicable provisions of the Zoning Ordinance and the General Plan. The proposed design and use is compatible with the existing development in the general area. It is recommended that the Planning Commission approve the project with the following findings and conditions.
TENTATIVE TRACT MAP FINDINGS
1. The proposed subdivision, together with its provision for its design and improvements, is consistent with applicable general and specific plans as adopted by the City of Santa Monica, in that the project conforms to the provisions of the R2-Low Density Multiple Family Residential District Development Standards of the Zoning Ordinance and the Low Density Housing Multi-family Residential Section of the Land Use Element of the General Plan.
2. The site is physically suitable for the proposed type of development, in that it is a standard lot with no unusual characteristics.
3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development, in that a 6,500 square foot lot in the R2 District can accommodate up to 4 units.
