This is a general plan amendment request for a higher density for a 1.33 acre property. The subject
parcel is part of a larger subdivision which was approved at a density allowing up to one acre
densities. The proposed density increase could be interpreted to be a spot amendme and uld be
out of character and inconsistent with the larger neighborhood.

Agenda Item#
LORENZE'ITI GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT (5-92-EC)
I. INTRODUCTION:
This is general plan amendment request to change the County General Plan land use designation for
a 1.33 acre property from SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, VERY Low DENSITY(0.2 -0.9 UNITS/NET ACRE)
to SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, MEDIUM DENSITY (3.0-4.9 UNITS/NET ACRE). The plan amendment
proposal would accomodate up to three single family parcels where one is now allowed. The pian
amendment area is located on the northeast comer of Loren Lane and Mellowood Drive in the
Oakley area (Figure 1).
H. CEQA STATUS:
A Negative Declaration (no environmental impact report required) for the plan amendment was
issued August 27, 1993. The Initial Study of Environmental Significance is attached.
III. SITE DESCRIPTION:
The plan amendment area is a rectangular-shaped parcel consisting.of 1.33 acres. The site contains a
detached single family structure with related accessory structures and has been cleared of
improvements and vegetation. The property is located on the northeast comer of Loren Lane and
Mellowood Drive. Laurel Road is the primary roadway which provides access to the area. This road
runs in a east/west orientation. Highway 4 is located about 1,250 feet to the east of the Mellowood
Drive/Laruel Road intersection. Mellowood Drive is a recently constructed roadway which provides
north/south access. This road connects from Laurel Road up to Cypress Road and serves the new
residential subdivision just northwest from the plan amendment area. A preliminary development
concept proposes all new homes would front along and be accessed from Mellowood Drive.

IV. EXISTING GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING DESIGNATIONS
The plan amendment area is designated as Single Family Residential, Very Low Density (0.1-0.9
units/net acre). Existing County General Plan land use designations are shown in Figure 2. The
existing zoning for the plan amendment area is A-2 (General Agricultural District). Existing zoning
designations are shown in Figure 3.
V. PUBLIC SERVICES:
The site is presently served by all urban services which are needed to support the development. There
are no public service constraints which would affect the plan amendment proposal.
VI. GROWTH MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS:
The plan amendment area is already designated for urban development and is within the service area
boundaries for all required urban services. The proposed subdivision would be required to pay
parkland dedication fees and an east county sheriff fee to offset costs of providing police service to
the larger Oakley area. A Measure C-1988 traffic study is not required for the proposed two
additional residential parcels.
The 65/35 Land Preservation Standard- The plan amendment is in an area which is already
designated for urban development. The proposed plan amendment request will not affect the 65/35
standard since it does not involve a change from a non-urban land use designation.
VII. GENERAL PLAN POLICY ISSUES TO CONSIDER FOR THIS PLAN AMENDMENT:
Land Use Considerations - The proposed plan amendment request would result in a net increment of
two additional units beyond the one unit now allowed and built. The plan amendment area is on the
corner of an area designated for up to one acre densities (40,000+ sq. ft. parcels). The proposal
would likely lead to two new parcels averaging slightly less than 15,000 square feet in size. The
remaining area would be devoted to the existing home while.additional road right-of-way would be
secured to bring the streets up to county standards. The area adjacent to the plan amendment area, to
the north and west, are designated Single Family Residential, Medium Density (SFM) designation.
The existing SFVL designation, between Mellowood Drive and Highway 4, reflects the previous

subdivision approval and resulting development. Of the 18 total residential parcels under the SFVL
designation, all but three are developed with single family homes. The three undeveloped parcels,
located on the south side of Loren Lane and at the end of this cul-de-sac, are also owned by the
project propoent for this general plan amendment request.
The primary policy conern raised with this particular request relates to the decision to treat the subject
property differently than the remaining parcels in the orginal subdivision. To date, one neighboring
property owner reasonably argues that when they purchased their property in this area the
expectation was that the present density would be maintained because most of the parcels presently
designated SFVL were already developed with homes.
The actual density proposal of this plan amendment request is 3.01 units per net acre, which is at the
low end of the Single Family Medium (S FM) designation (3.0 —4.9 units/net acre). If the density
increase is approved it could be a precedent for increased densities for the remaining area now
designated Single Family Residential, Very Low Density (SFVL). Although much of this area is
already developed with detached single family homes, small private driveways could be constructed to
access potential new homes. If one calculated potential development using the SFM density, the
range of possible new units within the remaining area designated SFVL, and accounting for existing
homes, would result between 21 to 44 new homes.
Even though approval of the proposed density increase on the subject property may not greatly
affect the remaining homes along Loren Lane, it could be argued that approval of the plan
amendment request is premature and that staff should consider a plan amendment study for the
remaining area designated SFVL, between Mellowood Drive and Highway 4, if the majority of the
property owners choose to apply for a plan amendement change to allow a higher density.
However, if the Commission thinks that the proposed plan amendment for this one particular
property does not create additional density concerns and issues for the remaining property owners
along Loren Lane, between Mellowood Drive and Highway 4, it may choose to approve the plan
amendment request for up to three residential parcels on the subject property.
Access - Ingress and egress into the plan amendment area is from Mellowood Drive. Mellowood
Drive runs in a north/south orientation, between Cypress Road to the north and Laurel Road to the
south. Mellowood Drive was recently improved to serve the new subdivision just across the street
from the plan amendment area. No new streets need to be provided to the plan amendment area
6
since all new homesites would front along MelIowood Drive. The increased traffic from the new
homesites will have a negligible effect overall on neighborhood since none of the traffic generated by
the project will use Loren Lane.
Relationship to Surrounding Area- Since the plan amendment area is located on a corner, the
proposed increase in residential density should not greatly affect remaining properties which are
designated Single Family Residential, Very Low Density. However, approval of the proposed density
increase would set a precedent and may lead to other incremental requests for a similar density. Such
an approach would warrant a plan amendment study for the entire area between Mellowood Drive
and Highway 4.
VIII. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Commission make one of the following recommendations to the Board of
Supervisors:
1) Recommend DENIAL of the proposed general plan amendment request to the Board
of Supervisors because the decision would treat one parcel of the original subdivision
differently than the others and,
2) Recommend to the Board of Supervisors to direct staff to CONSIDER a plan
amendment request for a higher density for the remaining area now designated Single
Family Residential, Very Low Density for the area between Mellowood Drive and
Highway 4. Consideration of a plan amendment study for this larger area would
occur only if a majority of the property owners choose to apply for such a request.

_ NOTICE OF A
PUBLIC HEARING
You are hereby notified that on MONDAY. November 1. 1993 at 7:30 p.m., the East
County Regional Planning Commission will hold a public hearing at the Antioch City
Council Chambers, Third and H Streets, Antioch, California, to consider a General Plan
Amendment as follows:
Lorenzetti General Plan Amendment (5-92-EC) - A proposed general plan amendment
for a 1.33 acre property, located on the northeast corner of Loren Lane and Mellowood
Drive in the Oakley area. The proposed plan amendment is a request to change the
County General Plan land use designation from Single Family Residential, Very Low
Density (0.2 - 0.9 units/ net acre) to Single Family Residential, Medium Density (3.0 -
4.9 units/ net acre). The plan amendment proposal would accomodate up to three single
family parcels and would result in a net increment of two additional parcels over what is
presently allowed.
Subject property for the above referenced project is approximately 1.33 acres in size and
in the Oakley area. (CT: 3020.00; APN:035-240-018).
Project Decription and Location: The applicant is seeking a general plan amendment to
increase the allowed residential density in order to develop up to three single family
parcels. The development concept will retain a detached single family housing product
which is consistent with the overall character of this area. The project, at this time,
includes a General Plan Amendment. Separate environmental review will be conducted
on the forthcoming site development applications if the plan amendment is approved.For
purposes of compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA),a Negative Declaration of Environmental Significance(no Environmental Impact
Report required) has been issued for this project.
If you challenge the project in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you
or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written
correspondence delivered to the County at, or prior to, the public hearing.
For further details, contact the Contra Costa County Community Development Department, 651
Pine Street, Martinez, California, or phone Matt Tomas at (510) 646-2036.

b. Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term, to the
disadvantage of long-term,environmental goals? (A short-term impact
on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive
period of time while long-term impacts will well into the future.)
IL
c. Does the project have impacts which are individually limited, but
Please Note: "S" is for signtftcant; "1" is for insignificant
cumulatively considerable? (A project may impact on two or more
separate resources where the impact on each resource is relatively
small, but where the effect of the total of those impacts on the
environment is significant.)
d. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause
substantial adverse effects on human beings,either directly indirectly?
Ill. Discussion of Environmental Evaluation
See attachments.
IV. Determination
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
• I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on
the environment,and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
• I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect
on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case
because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have
been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE
PREPARED.
• I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect
on I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the
environment,and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.

Lorenzetti GPA (5-92-EC)
Proposed Negative Declaration
June 22, 1993
Project Description - These are staff responses to a proposed Negative Declaration of Environmental
Significance (no environmental impact report required) for a proposed general plan amendment for
a 1.33 acre property, located on the northeast comer of Loren Lane and Elderwood Drive in the
Oakley area. The plan amendment would result in a net increment of two additional units over what
is presently allowed.
The proposed plan amendment is a request to change the County General Plan land use designation
from SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, VERY Low DENSITY(0.2-0.9 UNIT/NET ACRE)to SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL, MEDIUM DENSITY(3.04.9 uNrr/NET ACRE). The plan amendment proposal would
accomodate up to three single family units.
Summary of Issues - Staff has reviewed and determined that the proposed land use change would not
create any significant environmental impacts under the provisions of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA). The plan amendment area is in an area which is already designated for urban
development. There are no urban service constraints facing the proposed development as the site is
within all urban service boundaries.
Circulation - The plan amendment would support up to three units on the site and is a negligible
increment in terms of traffic genereration. The proposal is well under the Measure C-1988 threshold
of 100 units for preparation of a traffic study.
County Growth Management Considerations- Measure C - 1990 resulted in the County adopting a
Growth Managment Program which establishes minimum levels of services for the typical urban
services which are needed to support proposed development. Since the plan amendment area is
already contained within existing service area boundaries (fire, police, sanitary sewer, water, flood
control, school facilities and parks) for the major urban services needed to support the proposal, the
concerns relating to these considerations have been addressed. The proposed change would not
affect the County's 65/35 Land Preservation Standard since it is an intensification of an existing
urban designation and does not result in the conversion of land under a non-urban designation.
The following are staffs responses to the Initial Study Checklist.

Responses to Environmental Initial Study
Lorenzetti GPA (5-92-EC)
Proposed Negative Declaration
June 22, 1993
The proposed land use change will allow increased development density in an area which is-already
designated for residential development. The increased density is not considered to be
environmentally signficant since it will occur in an area which is already undergoing urbanization.
The resulting three single family units will retain the existing single family character of this area.
11. Population
The related increase in population is not significant under CEQA provisions since the project area is
already within existing urban service boundaries.
12. Housing
The proposed density will result in a housing type which is consistent with the homes recently
developed norith of the plan amendment area and will retain the single family character of the area.
13. Circulation
The plan amendment would result in a negligible increase in traffic, and does not trigger the
threshold for preparing a mandatory traffic study under Measure C-1988.

re: Lorenzi General Plan Amendment (5-92-EC)
p Dear Mr. Tomas,
Records at this office.of the California Archaeological Inventory were reviewed to
determine if this project could adversely affect prehistoric or historic
archaeological resources. This review did not take into account the possibility of
sites of architectural importance. However, the Office of Historic Preservation has
determined that buildings and structures 45 years or older may be of historic value.
Therefore, if the project area contains such properties they should be evaluated
prior to calmencenent of project activities. Please contact our office for a list
of professional consultants.
The proposed project area contains or is adjacent to the archaeological
resource(s) ( ). A study is recommended.
' The proposed project area has the possibility of containing archaeological
resources. A study is recommended.
Study # identified one or more archaeological or other cultural
resources. The recaTmendations from the report are.attached.
Study # identified no archaeological resources. Further study for
archaeological resources is not recctmtended.-
t There is a low possibility of archaeological sites. Further study for
archaeological resources is not recanmended.
Comments:
i
In all cases, if archaeological resources are encountered during the project, work
in the imnediate vicinity of the finds should be halted until a qualified
archaeologist has evaluated the situation. If you have any questions please give us
a call (707) 664-2494.

TO: East County Regional Planning Commission
FROM: Matt Tomas, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: Policy Choices and Additional Ba kground Information for the Lorenzetti General
Plan Amendment (County File # 5-92-EC)
On Monday, November 1, 1993 the Commission opened the public hearing on the Lorenzetti general
plan amendment request. Public testimony was taken and the hearing was continued until the
Commission's December 6, 1993 meeting.
The inital staff recommendation relates to the issue of how to treat this single parcel in relation to the
remaining properties in the original subdivision. Staff urged the Commission to poll the remaining
property owners on Loren Lane to determine if a general plan amendment study for a higher density
should be considered for the remaining subdivision. The neighboring property owners submitted a
signed petition indicating opposition to increased density for the neighborhood (see Attachment A).
Now that the question regarding possible increased density for the remaining subdivision has been
answered, the Commission must decide if approval of the proposed density increase could create
other policy conflicts.
The staff report of November 1, 1993 indicates that the two new homes resulting from the proposed
density increase would use the existing streets for project ingress and egress and that the proposed
density and resulting home construction would generally conform with existing development
densities on adjacent lands to the west and north and with the new residential development occurring
just northwest of the site. From this perspective, there seems to be no other outstanding policy
conflicts.
OMAC Review of the General Plan Amendment Request- The Commission inquired about OMAC's
recommendation on this plan amendment request. County files show that OMAC was mailed a copy
of the CEQA documentation on the plan amendment request (see mailing list, Attachment B). The
public review period lasted between July 23, 1993 to August 27, 1993 and no comments from OMAC
were received during that time. Files show that OMAC was routed the application for the previous
subdivision application (MS 193-90) and that no comments were submitted on this application.
Clarification regarding the Previous Minor Subdivision Application - The applicant indicated that a
previous minor subdivision (M.S. 193-90) application for the subject site was approved in late 1990.
On January 28, 1991 a tentative map for M.S. 193-90 was conditionally approved(Attachment C) for
a three lot project(two lots and a remainder parcel). Condition number two of the tentative map
approval requires that a rezoning application to the appropriate zoning district is needed (Attachment
D). Until this date, the rezoning application has not been approved subject approval of the pending
general plan amendment for the proposed density increase.
