INTERIM COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
DATE: OCTOBER 21, 1997
SUBJECT: KAUFMAN AND BROAD GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT IN THE RODEO AREA
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
Authorize the review of the Kaufman and Broad General Plan Amendment request to
change the General Plan designation from "Commercial' to "Multiple Family - Low Density"
for a seven acre site in the Rodeo area.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost will be covered by a fee charged to the developer.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
Kaufman and Broad has requested a General Plan Amendment study be authorized for
a 6.98 acre parcel located on the east side of Willow Avenue, between Seventh Street and
Hawthorne Drive in the Rodeo area. The site is designated "Commercial" in the County
General Plan. The proposed General Plan designation change would allow for a
residential density of between forty to sixty-six units.
Our Department is also reviewing the 2.11 acre property to the west of this site, which is
also designated "Commercial' in the County General Plan. The Redevelopment Agency
is proposing that the General Plan be changed to accommodate a senior housing project
on a portion of that site.
The Kaufman and Broad study request will be subject to the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) and, when complete, will be scheduled for public hearing before the
County Planning Commission for recommendation and the Board of Supervisors for
decision. Authorization of a General Plan study does not imply support for the requested
change.
