The project consists of a change of zone (COZ 22-05) and general plan amendment (GPA 22-05) affecting 2.39 acres of disturbed land located within the City of El Centro, California. Calipatria Rentals, LLC, the property owner and applicant, wishes to construct two (2) two-story apartment buildings at the project site for a total of fifty-six (56), residential units. There will be forty (40) two (2) bedroom units that will measure 787 square feet. The remaining sixteen (16) bedroom units will be three (3) bedroom units that will measure one thousand and eighty (1,080) square feet. The property is currently zoned R1, which prohibits the construction of multifamily residential units. Because of this restriction the applicant is requesting a change of zone from R1 to R3, which permits apartments. An amendment to the General Plan is being requested to designate the project site’s land use from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential in conformance with the proposed R3 Zone. If approved, the change of zone will allow for a maximum of twenty-five (25) units at the project site.
