Report
BACKGROUND
The applicant, SCS Development, is proposing to construct a 39-unit residential development with seven live/work units on three contiguous parcels totaling 1.70 acres. The project site is located on the north side of El Camino Real between Lincoln Street and Monroe Street and is within the El Camino Real Focus Area, a local and regional commercial and transportation corridor envisioned for a mix of high intensity commercial and residential development in the City's 2010-2030 General Plan. The site is currently occupied with a vacant single-family residence and two vacant commercial buildings previously used for auto-oriented businesses. Surrounding land uses include the City Hall campus and residential development to the north across Civic Center Drive, residential development currently under construction to the east (Catalina I townhomes), residential and commercial uses to the south across El Camino Real and Civic Center Park to the west.
The proposal consists of for-sale condominium units with attached two-car garage distributed among five three-story buildings; a private street and eight visitor parking spaces with access from Civic Center Drive; and common landscaped open space and 3,048 square foot on-site private recreation area. The project also includes future private maintenance provisions with the establishment of a Homeowners Association and Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions.
