MEMORANDUM
October 6, 1975
TO: PLANNING DIRECTOR
FROM: ASSOCIATE PLANNER
SUBJECT: ROOSEVELT STREET COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR
HISTORY: CITIZEN CONCERNS: During the General Plan Land Use hearing of
1973-1974, the Citizen's Committee, Planning Commission and City Council
were concerned over treatment of the area known as the "Roosevelt Street
Commercial Area". The property owners in the area requested that:
(1) The area be designated on the proposed Land Use Plan as
Neighborhood Commercial;
(2) The existing Zoning be changed from C-2 to C-l; and
(3) Specific Plan (or Site Plan) approval be required prior to
development.
The property owners expressed concern over the possibility of adverse im-
pacts of introducing more multiple family units into the neighborhood and
the loss of potential economic gain. Staff, the Commission, and the Land
Use Committee recommended to Council that this request for the property
owners be accepted with the encouragement of residential uses utilized
above the ground floor of commercial and office structures. To accomplish
this, it was recommended the area be designated in the Land Use Element as
the combination district "0/N" (Professional and Related Commercial/
Neighborhood Commercial).
HISTORY: COUNCIL CONCERNS: The Council generally concurred with the
recommendation of the property owners, but expressed concern with the tim-
ing of the implementation of such a program. Specifically, the Council
was concerned with: (1) whether it would be more practical to maintain
the status quo by designating the area as straight commercial category on
the proposed land use element and then wait for the adoption of a Specific
Plan of the area to implement the property owner's request; or (2) whether
the area should be designated as "medium-high density" residential and
potential commercial uses considered when the Specific Plan was adopted.
This action would require the rezoning of the existing C-2 parcels to achieve
General Plan-Zoning consistency.
c
HISTORY: INTERIM SOLUTION: As an interim solution to this matter, the
Council adopted the "CBD" Land Use designation for the corridor. They also
adopted Ordinance No. 9403 on August 20, 1974, an urgency measure prohibiting
commercial development in the Roosevelt Street Study area. This ordinance,
in effect, created a moritori urn on commercial development in the Study area,
which expired on August 20, 1975.
Due to the completion of higher priority items, the Specific Plan for the
downtown area was not completed by the Staff prior to the expiration of the
Urgency Ordinance. On August 19, 1975, Staff recommended that the Council
apply the "Q" Zone to the study area as an interim solution. Application
of the "Q" Zone would allow for review of the site plan for development pro-
posed in the area. Council rejected the Staff's recommendation and instead
instructed Staff to prepare a zone that would implement the intent of the
General Plan for the Study area.
PROPOSAL: DOWNTOWN-LIMITED RESIDENTIAL (D-LR): To implement the intent of
the General Plan for the Study area, Staff recommends the adoption and
application of a Downtown-Limited Residential Zone (draft attached).
The basic premise of this Zone is to allow compatible residential uses in
the downtown area upon approval of a conditional use permit. While this
zone can be used in other areas, it is particularly applicable to the Roose-
velt Commercial area. This area, zoned C-2, is surrounded by three residential
zones - R-3, R-P, and RD-M. The uses from these zones which are compatible
with the downtown are listed as permitted upon approval of a Conditional Use
Permit in the attached draft ordinance. Any use in this list could be consid-
ered for the Roosevelt Street Commercial area. Other areas abutting the
downtown might be subject to another set of compatible uses culled from the
adjacent zones in that area.
