SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit #1255 and Site Plan Review #476, initiated by Mavericks, LLC, property owner. The application involves a request to add four residential units at 111 R Street. This request requires interface approval as the subject site is located within a Neighborhood Commercial (C-N) Zone that is adjacent to a Low-Density Residential (R-1-6) Zone. The subject site is generally located on the west side of R Street, approximately 135 feet north of Childs Avenue. *PUBLIC HEARING* ACTION: Approve/Disapprove/Modify 1) Environmental Review #21-11 (Categorical Exemption) 2) Conditional Use Permit #1255 3) Site Plan Review #476 SUMMARY The subject site consists of 0.34 acres located in south central Merced at 111 R Street (Attachment B). The applicant, Mavericks, LLC, is requesting approval to add 4 residential units to this site and retain an existing single-family home on the western portion of the parcel. This subject site is within a Neighborhood Commercial (C-N) Zone, which requires a conditional use permit for residential dwellings per the land use table at Merced Municipal Code 20.10.020 - Land Use Regulations for Commercial Zoning Districts. The subject site also requires a Site Plan Review Permit for Interface Review, as required for high impact projects adjacent to, or across from, low impact zones (Merced Municipal Code Section 20.32 - Interface Regulations). In this case, Interface Review is required as the developer is proposing to develop on a Neighborhood Commercial Zone that is adjacent to a Low-Density Residential Zone west of the subject site. Planning staff has reviewed the proposal and is recommending approval subject to the conditions found within this report. RECOMMENDATION Planning staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve 1) Environmental Review #21-11 (Categorical Exemption); 2) Conditional Use Permit #1255, and 3) Site Plan Review #476 (including the adoption of the Draft Resolution at Attachment A) subject to the conditions in Exhibit A and the findings/considerations in Exhibit B of the Draft Resolution.
