A change from Rlc to R2
III. DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
8.a. Project would increase density for six residential
parcels.
8. b. A zone change from Rlc (Single -Family Residential) to
R2 (Two -Family Residential) and a general plan
amendment from low-density residential to medium -
density residential is requested.
11. Rezoning would increase density from seven (7) units
per acre to twelve (12) units per acre for these
parcels.
12. An additional five (5) dwelling units could be
constructed under the proposed zoning.
13.a.&b. Additional residential construction would result in
marginal increase in traffic and demand for parking.
Existing circulation system is adequate to handle the
projected increase. Current lack of on -street parking
could be exacerbated by additional dwelling units.
Reference is also hereby made to all other Environmental Impact
Reports which have been prepared for projects within the City of
Azusa for additional information and knowledge of existing and
future environmental conditions in the area.
