2012-7450 – St. Anton 1101 N. Fair Oaks Avenue October 16, 2012 Page 15 of 17 (CC) Requested clarification of the floor area ratio and unit type in comparison to the surrounding developments. Massing of the structure appears to be sensitive to the adjacent developments. Community Outreach Meeting The applicant held a community outreach meeting on August 2, 2012. The applicant and representatives conducted the meeting in an “Open House” format in the existing building located on the site. Approximately seven community members attended the meeting. Site Plans, color renderings and reduced plans were provided for the public. Staff and the applicant answered any questions from the residents. Planning Commission Hearing The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed project on September 24, 2012 (see Attachment H). Staff provided an overview of the proposed project and addressed the two letters of opposition as follows: In response to Mr. Martin Landzaat comments staff noted that generally apartment dwellings result in a lower student generation rate than townhouse developments. Staff also noted that the 2002 Land Use changes for the ITR 7 area to ITR MIX were projected to generate over 2,800 housing units in the area and that the projected growth was conveyed to the local school districts for their planning efforts. In addition, the consultant that prepares Fremont Union High School District’s annual reports coordinates with the City of Sunnyvale regarding land use growth. Due to market demand, existing sites in the ITR7 area have been developed at a lower density than anticipated and based on the remaining land available, the total number of units projected for the area is approximately 1,900 housing units. This is well below what was anticipated in 2002. Staff clarified that the State limits mitigation of school impacts to the payment of mitigation fees. School district fees are required to be paid at building permit issuance and required for all projects meeting the district’s criteria. The proposed project will be required to pay all required school district fees prior to building permit issuance. Staff finds that mitigation will be provided in accordance with State law. In response to Ms.Hannalore Dietrich, staff stated that the City’s Below Market Rate requirements for rental projects do not apply due to a recent court decision. The project applicant had initially studied the feasibility of achieving a higher density project through the State Density Bonus and additional Housing Mitigation Fees. After further study the applicant determined that a market rate project would be their preferred option and revised the project to what you see today. Staff clarified that the proposed project is within the allowable density range of the General Plan land use designation; rezone requests Residential High Density (R-4) were anticipated with the General Plan Land Use
