The proposed H-8 site is surrounded by several zoning districts within San Luis Obispo, some allowing development of multi-family housing units.

R-1 zoning, low density residential, to the west allows 7 units per acre.
R-2 zoning, medium density residential, to the south allows 12 units per acre.
R-3 zoning, medium-high density residential, to the north and west allows 18 units per acre.

The 85 proposed units equal 78.72 Density Units, creating a development with 14.11 units per acre. This density and use are consistent with the zoning of the neighboring properties and although outside the city limits, also follow the city's policy of encouraging higher density housing along major routes.

The proposed H-9 site is also surrounded by several zoning districts.

R-1 to the west allows 7 units per acre.
R-2 to the south allows 12 units per acre.
C/OS zoning, conservation/open space, abuts the west border of the H-9 site near the northern end

The H-9 development would yield 7.33 units per acre, using the San Luis Obispo Planned Development Ordinance 25% density bonus. This site is also consistent with the zoning of the neighboring properties in terms of density and use.
