Item 330 – 690 Rosecrans Street – Project Number PRJ-1065372
This project proposes a Coastal Development Permit and a Public Right-of-Way Vacation of an unimproved 0.109-acre unformed legal street. The proposed development would also demolish an existing 1,450-square-foot single dwelling unit, including portions of a 443-sf existing lower level and a 406-sf existing garage, for a total of 2,299-sf to be removed.
It would also will include a new, two-story, 3,160 sf single dwelling unit, with a new 1,811 sf garage including a new 978 sf accessory dwelling unit above the garage.
Item 331 – San Diego Municipal Code Amendment to Section 131.0431 Development Regulations Table 131-04D Related to RS-1-2 Zones in the Encanto Neighborhoods and Southeastern San Diego Community Planning Areas; Process 5
Footnote 7, introduced in the 12th Code Update (Phase 2) and amended by the 2021 Land Development Code Update, applies to RS-1-2 zones in the Encanto Neighborhoods and Southeastern San Diego Community Plan areas.
However, the Southeastern San Diego Community Plan has no RS-1-2 zones, making footnote 7 relevant only to the Encanto Neighborhoods Community Plan area. Footnote 7 reduced the minimum lot size from 20,000 square feet to 5,000 square feet to facilitate and match the densities designated in the Encanto Neighborhoods Community Plan and applied the RS-1-7 regulation to subdivisions.
The item would repeal footnote 7 and restore the 20,000 square feet minimum lot size for RS-1-2 zones in the Encanto Neighborhoods Community Plan area, ensuring consistent application of development regulations Citywide.
