Consideration of Plan Amendment Application No. A-16-002, Rezone Application No. R-16-002 and related Environmental Assessment No. A-16-002/R-16-002, filed by Jeffery Roberts on behalf of the Waterford Foundation. These applications pertain to approximately 3.99 acres of property located on the southwest corner of North Polk and West Sierra Avenues.
1. RECOMMEND APPROVAL (to the City Council) of the adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for Environmental Assessment (EA) No. A-16-002/R-16-002 dated June 3, 2016 for purposes of the proposed project.
2. RECOMMEND APPROVAL (to the City Council) of Plan Amendment Application No. A-16-002 which proposes to amend the Fresno General Plan and Bullard Community Plan to change the planned land use designation for the subject property from the Office planned land use designation to the Urban Neighborhood Residential planned land use designation.
3. RECOMMEND APPROVAL (to the City Council) of Rezone Application No. R-16-002 which proposes to amend the Official Zone Map to reclassify the subject property from O/UGM/cz (Office/Urban Growth Management/conditions of zoning) to RM-2/UGM (Residential Multi-Family, Urban Neighborhood/Urban Growth Management) for the purpose of developing a multi-family housing project. The conditions of zoning will be eliminated since they apply to an office complex and would no longer be applicable should this rezone application be approved.
