The approximately 0.44-acre subject property is located about 200 feet east of the intersection of E. Torrey Street and N. Houston Ave. The property has 76 feet of frontage along E. Torrey Street with the rear boundary adjacent the UPRR, and is currently vacant.
The subject property is located within a block developed entirely residential and the applicant intends to develop the property for residential use.

• Action 3.13 Cultivate an environment where a healthy mix of different housing products at a range of sizes, affordability, densities, amenities and price points can be provided across the community as well as within individual developments.
