Resolution No. <br />Page 6 <br /> <br /> <br />7. Whether the proposed development plan conforms to the purposes of <br />the PUD district. <br /> <br />The City Council finds that the proposed development plan does not conform <br />to the purposes of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) District. The PUD <br />District is intended to promote well-planned projects that achieve high-quality <br />design, superior site planning, and compatibility with surrounding uses while <br />advancing adopted General Plan and specific plan goals. As proposed, the <br />project does not meet these objectives because it is inconsistent with the <br />General Plan and Downtown Specific Plan, removes commercial or mixed- <br />use components, and does not provide active, pedestrian-oriented ground- <br />floor design. The project also fails to demonstrate superior site planning due <br />to limited pedestrian connectivity, constrained circulation, inconsistent access <br />design, and insufficient integration of landscaping and site features. In <br />addition, the building’s height, massing, and orientation do not provide <br />appropriate transitions to surrounding development or contribute to the <br />intended downtown character. As such, the City Council finds that this finding <br />cannot be made. <br /> <br />SECTION 6. After review of the materials presented, the City Council <br />determined the proposed Project is not consistent with the City’s General Plan and <br />purposes of the PUD ordinance and certificate of appropriateness, and by this reference <br />adopted and reaffirmed all findings set forth in Planning Commission Resolution No. <br />PC-2026-14. <br /> <br />SECTION 7. The City Council denies Case Nos. P26-0360 and PUD-152 for a <br />(1) Planned Unit Development (PUD) Rezoning to rezone the subject parcel from MU-T <br />(Mixed Use-Transitional) District to PUD-MU-T (Planned Unit Development-Mixed Use- <br />Transitional) District; (2) a Certificate of Appropriateness to demolish an existing 6,160 <br />square-foot commercial office building in the Downtown Revitalization District; and (3) a <br />PUD Development Plan to construct a three-story, four-unit, residential building with <br />units ranging in size from 430 square feet to 13,626 square feet and associated site <br />improvements located at 231 Old Bernal Avenue. <br /> <br />SECTION 8. This resolution shall become effective immediately upon its passage <br />and adoption. <br /> <br /> <br />Page 251 of 373
