The  was asked to consider: a design review agreement for the proposed 240-unit affordable housing project, nine development standard concessions and waivers under the state density bonus law and determination of consistency with the previously certified Housing Needs Rezone Programmatic Environmental Impact Report

The commission voted 3-2, with one abstention, to deny the design review agreement. Commissioners also approved eight of the nine requested concessions and waivers. One request — a deviation from the Horseshoe Bar/Penryn Community Plan Level of Service policy — failed on a 3-3 vote.

Because all nine concessions and waivers were required for approval of the design review agreement, the overall design review was denied. The commission separately determined that the project is consistent with the previously certified Housing Needs Rezone Program EIR.

A full agenda and staff report will be made available no later than 72 hours prior to the Board of Supervisors’ Dec. 16 meeting.
