Commercial Mixed Use (CMU) zoning designation. The townhomes consist of a mixture of two-
and three-bedroom units ranging from 1,230 to 1,508 square feet (SF), the detached single-family
homes consist of three- and four-bedroom units ranging in size from 1,323 to 2,936 SF, and the
apartments consist of one- to three-bedroom units ranging from 657 to 1,371 SF. Parking is
proposed to be provided in attached two-car garages and individual driveways for the single-family

potentially significant impacts could be mitigated to less than significant levels. A Mitigated
