       the same zoning district; and approve the variance for lot width (Attachment A

       Recommendation of Planning Commission: On January 25, 2006, the
       Planning Commission recommended that the City Council 1) adopt the staff
       recommendations on the environmental analysis and the General Plan,
       Zoning Map Amendments; and deny the variance for the lot width; and 2)
       deny both proposals to subdivide the property.  The applicant was not asked
       to return to the Planning Commission with additional information.  However,

       proposed subdivision.

       November 7, 2005, the Historic Preservation Commission 1) acknowledged
       that the proposed project would maintain the Charles Richter Laboratory and
       garage; 2) found that the proposed General Plan, Zoning Map Amendments
       and two-parcel subdivision would not result in an adverse impact to the
       historic resources on site; and 3) recommended approval of the proposed
       General Plan and Zoning Map Amendments.
