Introduce and subsequently adopt, by reading of title only, An Ordinance of the Council of the City of Santa Barbara Amending Chapter 28.12 (Zone Map) of Title 28 of the Municipal Code Pertaining to the Rezoning of Property in the East Mesa Neighborhood; and B. At the time of Ordinance adoption, adopt, by reading of title only, A Resolution of the Council of the City of Santa Barbara Amending the General Plan Map and Coastal Plan Map for Certain Parcels Located in the East Mesa Neighborhood. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: City staff and the Planning Commission support the proposed rezone to E-3/S-D-3 and General Plan and Coastal Plan land use designation amendment to residential, five units per acre based on the existing development pattern in this area and surrounding land uses. The proposed land use would be appropriate for this parcel and consistent with the purposes and intent of the City’s General Plan and Coastal Plan. The amendments would provide the opportunity for additional housing in the Mesa neighborhood, which is a benefit to the City as a whole. Additionally, this resolves the prior appeal of the 210 Meigs Road project and has support from the School District and the Washington School Foundation. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council adopt the ordinance and resolution affecting the rezone and redesignation. DISCUSSION: The applicants and staff request a Zone Change for 216 Meigs Road from PR/S-D-3, Park and Recreation and Coastal Overlay Zone to E-3/S-D-3, One-Family Residence and Coastal Overlay Zone; and a General Plan Map Amendment for the area identified
