body
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution determining Application No. ALUC-24-18 (City of Benicia's Housing Opportunity General Plan Designation and Zoning District), located within the Travis Air Force Base (AFB) Compatibility Zone D and E, is consistent with the Travis AFB Land Use Compatibility Plan (LUCP).
DISCUSSION:
Section 21676 (d) of the State Aeronautics Act requires Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) review of any general plan or zoning regulations amendments within an Airport Influence Area.
The City of Benicia proposes to amend its General Plan to add a new Housing Opportunity Designation (HOD) land use designation. The new land use designation is based on the existing Mixed-Use Infill land use designation but would allow up to 75 units to the acre and Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 2.5. Buildings of up to six (6) stories would be allowed with the maximum FAR. A limited amount of local serving non-residential development would also be permitted in the new HOD land use designation.
The City's application includes an amendment to Title 17 (Zoning) of the Benicia Municipal Code to add a Housing Opportunity Zone (HZ) district to Chapter 17.24 (Residential Districts). The zoning district will include objective aesthetic and design requirements for development within the zoning district.
Concurrently, the City proposes to amend the General Plan land use designation and zoning for 2170 Columbus Parkway to HOD and HZ. In addition, the City's zoning map would also be updated to reflect the site's rezoning to HZ. 2170 Columbus Parkway is located within TAFB Compatibility Zone E.
