NOW, THERE~~ the Council of the City of Palo Alto does ORDAIN as follows: SECTION 1. Section 18.08.040 of the Palo Alto Momicipal COde, the 'Zocing Map.' is hereby amended by Changing the zoning of certain property known as 330 Emerson Street {the "subject property'l fran 'RM-30 Medilllfi Density Mlltiple-Pamily Residential' t;o • PC Planned C<x!muni ty. • The sullj ect; property is shown 0<1 the map labeled Exhibit .,A., attached heret.o and incorporated herein by refereoc:e. SECTION 2. The City COU!l<'il hereby finds with respect to the sullj ect property that: Cal Toe site is so situated: .. ane: t.he multiple-family residential use proposed for t.he s".mject. property is of such -characterist.ics that t.he applIcation of general distt'icts or combIning districts will not provide sufficient flexibiHty to all.ow f;he proposed developznent~ The permitt.ed nUIriber of units in the RM-30 District. for lots up to 5 .. 999 square feet is one ~~it, ~ to four units proposed. The project includes four parking spaces compared to seven required parking spaces. The minimum required site area is 9 .. 000 square feet compared to 5 .. 625 square feet proposed. The minimum lot: depth ie 70 feet compared to SO teet proposed. (b) The project will rt:Bult in public benefits not otherwise att.ainable by application of the regulations of general dist~ict.s or combining districts, as follows: Iii The project includes three additional bcus i09 ur:.i te above the maximum. number of unit.s allowed under the current EO<ling (AM-30) _ The only "",chaniom a.vailable to achiave the increased density is.by rezoning the site to a PC (Planned Coomunity) District_ The additional housing units are a public benefit because ODe objective ~f the Hauling Blement is to increase t.he Bupply of low and ~erate-iLcome housing_ Program 15 of the Housing Klement is to Iprovide .Eon! og H exibili ty " to encourage the development of .raller units affordable to low and moderate-in~ome persons ...

The land use element states that multiple-family densities range from 10 to 4S units per acre, but that: higher densities m,y be allowed wto..ere measurable COIrIIltU.llity "benefit is to be derived. where services and facili.ties are available to serve the tncr~ased density, and where tbe effect of the "~reased density will be compatible with the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed project .. whIch is 31 units/a.cre .. provides additional housing within walking distance to shopping, services and public transportation. The project also provides housing near downtown. which makes it possible 'to work and live in one area without daily use of an automobile. SECTION 3. Sheets Al..1 (carport only), Al.2 .. Al.1 ..
