BUSINESS OWNERS
The Community Outreach Program for the Barrio Land Use Plan was a three-
approach designed to do the following: 1) solicit and identify major comn
concerns; 2) present potential alternatives to addressing those concerns; a
prioritize strategies to resolve those issues. Several overall themes emerg
participants explained what was important to them about the Barrio. First, partici

neighborhood-serving establishments. Third, participants expressed pleasure
small-scale, single-family character of the neighborhood. Although residenl
business owners listed numerous reasons why they liked living or working
Barrio, they also expressed numerous concerns regarding the neighboi
Discussed below are the main topics that surfaced during the program.
A. Land Use
Although the discussion of land uses did not focus particularly on the character
and location of uses, four main themes emerged. First, participants exprei
strong desire to preserve the single-family character of the neighborhood and 1
multiple- family apartments . Co mme n ts re la t ed to a p a rt me n ts co n ce n t r a t
overcrowding and inadequate parking. Interspersed in the discussion of apar
was the fact that some participants did not want to promote an over-concentrz
low-income housing in the Barrio.
Second, participants were concerned with the lack of code enforcement,
discussion focused on the number of existing illegal units, dilapidated bui
unsightly outdoor storage, and illegally parked and abandoned vehicles.
residential area located immediately east of Jefferson Street was mentioned rep1
as an area with numerous code violations.
A third common theme was the desire to limit industrial uses to Tyler
Although many people wished there were no industrial uses in the Barrio,
acknowledged that they do provide jobs for Barrio residents. The general c
centered around their often unattractive appearance and their incompatibilii
residential uses. Industrial owners, on the other hand, were concerned their b
potential would be constrained or limited by nearby residents who might
influence their business operations.
Finally, a number of participants hoped to see Roosevelt Street developed
"Hispanic Old Town" with small-scale commercial uses to serve the neight
residents. Although there was discussion over the advantages and disadvanl
mixed commercial/residential use, consensus was finally reached that the loc

mixed use development would be preferable on only the east side of Roosevelt 5
rather than both sides of this street.
B. ~q
Three issues related to traffic, circulation, and parking emerged. First,
Although there was no clear preference between an on-grade connector a
overpass, people felt that such a connection was important to allow for pede
movement.
participants mentioned the need for at least pedestrian access over the railroad tr
A second notable concern focused onparhng, where several issues arose: inadc
parking in multi-family apartments; vehicles being parked in the street and ri
rights-of-way; and abandoned vehicles occupying valuable on-street parking SI
Finally, participants expressed the desire for a small-scale transit system that
specifically serve the needs of the Barrio residents. Some people envisioned a
or minibus that would shuttle residents to and from the downtown.
C. Parks and Recreation
Two themes emerged related to parks and recreation. First, a large num

A large number of participants supported the idea of combining the enrollment 1
and Jefferson Schools by transferring the students of Pine School to Jefferson S
and then converting Pine School into a Community Center.
A second theme related to parks and recreation was the strong desire to provide
activities for the Barrio children. A variety of recommendations were pro
including: recreation programs, events for teenagers; programs through the
de lnformacion; activities at the Boys & Girls Club; a central place to gatht
employment opportunities.
D. Historic Preservation and Heritaae
Comments related to historic preservation and heritage were evenly divided bl
those who felt there was no significant heritage and those who felt the
consensus that new development should reflect a Mexican heritage.
Participants felt that any existing Spanish-style architecture, such as the old n
and cantina, should be preserved. Some people recommended establishing
guidelines to maintain and enhance the Mexican heritage. Other people expres
desire to see additional artwork, including more murals and sculpture. To cc
their heritage, participants recommended an annual Barrio Fiesta.

Three major themes emerged regarding safety. First, a large number of partici
were concerned about the lack of adequate street lighting. People felt partic
unsafe traveling in alleys and in the residential area immediately east of Jeff
Street due to the lack of lighting.
Second, a large number of participants expressed great dissatisfaction over th
of police patrol and police presence. Some people felt that the current level of
patrol was well below the city average. Other people complained that police (
adequately respond to their calls for assistance in a timely manner and ai
sensitive to their needs. Many people hoped for an increase in police pre!
perhaps through additional bicycle or foot patrols and joint policehesident
patrols. They also wanted to have more Spanish-speaking police dispatchers
Finally, many participants were greatly concerned with pedestrian safety due
number and frequency of vehicles traveling at excessive speeds. People cit need for clearly marked crosswalks, crossing guards near the schools, handic
ramps, and sidewalks.
F. Other
Participants were asked to express any other comments they had regarding
planning and design of the Barrio. They expressed the desire to improve tht
quality and appearance of the neighborhood. Some people recommended
major overhead utility lines underground and improving the storm drainage s
Other people recommended design standards to improve the appearance of bt
and landscaping, including criteria for property maintenance.

family units to address land use compatibility and building mass; 4) disc
large lot consolidations; and 5) limit construction to two stories.
Revise the Redevelopment Master Plan to reflect Barrio commercial "visic
goals" as follows: 1 ) Permit commercial development along Roosevel
on the east side of Roosevelt; 3) allow only commercial development aIc

VII. FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS
As mentioned earlier, Planning staff spoke with City departments to determir
feasibility of implementing the strategies suggested by citizens during the Comrr
analyzing need, cost, timing, staffing, and operation.
There are a number of strategies which are more relevantly addressed by a comr
group rather than the City. It is suggested that neighborhood groups in the
form a coalition action group to encourage residents to participate in progran
activities to enhance the community. The City can offer its support; howel
