DATE: January 20, 2004
SUBJECT: Expenditure of Funds on the Proposed Kensington Residential Development Review
Combining District
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
AUTHORIZE. the expenditure of $15,000 from the Daugherty Valley County Regional
Enhancement Contribution Fund (Org 1111) in support of the development, adaption,
application and CEQA compliance of the proposed Kensington Residential Development
Review Combining District.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None to the General Fund. These funds were generated by the developers of Phase I of
the Daugherty Valley to be used at the discretion of the Beard of Supervisors.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Kensington community has became increasingly concerned about the process used
for reviewing residential development projects under the existing "Small Lot Ordinance."
For the past two and one half years, residents have been working with my office to replace
the existing procedures with an "overlay district" which would reflect the unique
characteristics of the Kensington community, including the preponderance of lots which do
not meet the minimumlot size for the zoning district, the age of the area compared to the
newer developments in the County, and the commanding views of the San Francisco Bay
area afforded to so much of Kensington.
A replacement ordinance and its application in the Kensington community is estimated by
staff to require an amendment of the County General Plan,adoption of an ordinance,and
its application to particular properties resulting in costs of approximately $30,000. It is
expected that the community of Kensington will provide matching funds to the $15,000
authorized by this action in order to carry out the development and application of the new
residential development review regulations.
