Page 3 of 11 provision of 101 lower-income units, equivalent to 24.51 percent of the proposed market-rate units. The project’s proposed 24.51 percent lower-income units entitle it to up to two incentives or concessions, although the Developer is requesting only one incentive/concession. State law separately defines “waivers or reductions of development standards” as a further form of assistance available to developers with eligible density bonus projects. Under SDBL, the City cannot apply a development standard that would physically preclude the construction of the project at its permitted density; accordingly, a developer may request such standards to be modified or “waived.” For most projects, there is no limit on the number of waivers or reductions of development standards that may be requested. Under these provisions, the Developer requested 19 waivers to deviate from the City’s standard requirements. Note that SDBL does not require a project to propose a density above the maximum allowed in order to apply for concessions or waivers. The project applications, inclusive of an application for Housing Site Compliance Review (Case No. P23-0480) and Vesting Tentative Map 8680 approval pursuant to SB 330, and inclusive of the requested density bonus incentives and waivers was approved unanimously by the Planning Commission on April 23, 2025. No appeal was filed. DISCUSSION Project Description and Discussion The approved project includes 310 single-family residential market-rate homes and 102 apartment rental units, all of which are deed-restricted affordable units except for one manager’s unit. The approved project also includes approximately 2.1-acre private park with public access. Site Design The project, referred to as “Villages at the Quarry,” provides two main vehicular access points: from Busch Road on the Project’s north side and from Valley Avenue on the project’s southwest side. The project includes four residential “Villages”: Villages 1-3 are for detached single-family residential homes (with varying lot and home sizes within each village), and Village 4 which includes the multi-family rental units. The overall site plan and layout of the four villages is shown in Figure 2. See the April 23, 2025, Planning Commission Agenda Report or additional information and description of the overall project and Villages 1-3, including proposed circulation, parking, building design/architecture and other features.
