(1) AMENDMENT OF TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP APPLICATION S-18-05, HIGHLAND PARK SUBDIVISION, AND PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PLAN PD-9-05, by S and J Properties, requesting an amendment of the project approval to divide approximately 95 acres for the development of a mix of single-family and multiple-family residential homes totaling 420 units on property located east of Interstate 5 and south of Boulder Creek in an "RS-3.5" Residential Single Family District and "RM-6" and "RM-12" Residential Multiple Family Districts, all combined with the "PD" Planned Development Overlay District. The project also includes development of a 6-acre public park. In summary, the amendment is to revise the mix of lot and housing types by increasing the number of standard and large single-family lots/homes, eliminating the clustered-home units, and creating a second apartment-unit site in the northwest corner of the property (adjacent to Interstate 5), reducing the total number of housing units from 420 to 407. Environmental Determination: Addendum to Environmental Impact Report EIR-3-06, which was adopted for the original project. Staff Recommendation: Adopt Addendum to the EIR and Approve Amendment. S-101-102 ADOPTED ADDENDUM AND APPROVED AMENDMENT
