A RESOLUTION BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SAN RAFAEL TO AMEND THE SAN RAFAEL GENERAL PLAN FOR
A PORTION OF THE FORMER HARTZELL SCHOOL SITE
WHEREAS, the San Rafael School District proposes to sell
the Hartzell School site at 211 Los Ranchitos Road after City
adoption of a General Plan amendment and master plan zoning for
the site to allow development of a 45,000 square foot office
building, 50 residences and a pocket park on the site; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has held a duly noticed
public hearing to consider the General Plan amendment to redesig-
nate the northern third of the parcel as described in Exhibit A
from "Residential and Open Space Review Area" to "Multi -Use
Activity Center" and after considering testimony, recommended City
Council adoption of the General Plan amendment (5-0) with the
following findings:
(1) The proposed Hartzell General Plan/Northgate
Activity Center Plan amendment is in the public
interest in that it provides opportunity to
balance jobs and housing and to increase employ-
ment opportunities close to residential areas,
and in that it provides a more consistent land
use relationship with the non-residential land
uses to the north of the site.
(2) The proposed General Plan amendment is con-
sistent with Northgate Activity Center Plan
traffic allocations for the site and Northgate
Plan policies to expand employment opportunities,
encourage functional and visual integration of
the area, protect scenic attributes of the
area, and provide a variety of housing types;
with Housing Element policies to encourage
residential use of surplus school sites and
include below market rate units; and Recreation
Element policies to develop a pocket park on
the site.
