t10n for these unlts.
The surroundlng area, zoned R3, lncludes a three story multl-unlt
residential bu~lding to the north, several s1ngle fam1ly homes to
the south, single family and two-story mul t1 fam1ly resident1al
build1ngs to the east across L~ncoln Boulevard and single fam~ly
and two story mul t1 family residentlal bUlld1ngs to the east
across the alley.
ProEosed ProJect. The proposal is for the construction of a two

square feet each and two one bedroom un~ts of 650 square feet. A
total of fourteen parking spaces w~ll be prov~ded in a common

unl.t and a Recreation and Parks (Quimby) fee of $200 per unit.

gram contalned 1n the adopted Land Use Element.
CEQA. Th1S proJect is categorlcally exempt from the provls1ons
~CEQA, Clty of Santa Monica GUldeline5 for Implementation
(Cla~s 3 (14)).
General Plan Cowp1iance. The proJect 15 cons1stent with the
pollc1es and obJect1ves of the Land Use Element pertaining to
multlple famlly resldential areas in that thls condoffilnium proJ-
ect is designed to conform W1 th the scale and character of the
surround1ng neighborhood, while provldlng 7 unlts including 1
incluslonary unit Wh1Ch is in comp11ance with Program 12 of the
Housing Element and the State's density bonus program.
Analysis. Under current denslty guide11nes, six unlts are per-
mitted on thlS 7500 sq. ft. lot. W1th the 1nclusion of one af-
fordable un1t, the State allows for a denslty bonus of one unit.
Therefore, the appl~cant is proposlng a seven un1t project with
one one-bedroom 1ncluslonary unit total11ng 650 sq. ft.

Overall, the proJect seems to be compatible w~th the var1ety of
archltectural styles found in the surround~ng neighborhood.

pay careful attentlon to the proposed balcony and window treat-
ment, the type of bU1lding mater1als and the landscape plan.
Furthermore. it is recommended that addltional archltectural
deta1l~ng be prov1ded along the east elevat10n fac1ng L~ncoln
Boulevard.

Engineer.
