AgriHood rezone and vesting tentative map at 1816 Worthington Circle
Core Companies sought to rezone the 1.8-acre remaining AgriHood parcel from Planned Development (62.2 du/ac project-wide) to R3 medium density residential (24.44 du/ac). The request also covered an EIR addendum, architectural review, and a vesting tentative map for 44 for-sale townhomes in five buildings. Six units would be moderate-income affordable, plus a 0.6-unit in-lieu fee. State density bonus waivers cover height (40 ft to 41 ft 6 in), front setback (10 ft to 5 ft), and rear setback (15 ft to 8 ft). The townhomes replace 160 entitled mixed-income apartments with 16 affordable units, reducing the site from 361 to 245 total units. The council approved over staff's denial recommendation and the Planning Commission's 6-1 denial recommendation. Staff will return final resolutions with findings, including RHNA no-net-loss findings, on consent December 1. The vote count was not stated; the motion passed with no abstention.
- Six affordable units subject to city updates to for-sale affordable housing requirements, including an affordability covenant of up to 45 years with resale to other qualified owners
- Staff to return final rezone and vesting tentative map resolutions with all required findings at the December 1 meeting
