19. AB #19.951 - VILLAGE MASTER PLAN AND DESIGN MANUAL AMENDMENTS.
Housing and Redevelopment Director Debbie Fountain gave a PowerPoint Presentation (on
file in the Office of the City Clerk).
Ms. Fountain stated that the Coastal Commission approved the application of the Village
Master Plan with the following suggested modifications:
• Revise the permitted sign types to prohibit pole signs in the Coastal Zone.
• Revise permit types to require an Administrative Redevelopment (Review) Permit for
demolition of a building or improvements within the Coastal Zone, provided that
demolition has no potential to create an adverse impact on coastal resources or public
access to the coast and does not include any overnight accommodations.
• Add policy language to the "transportation" section of the Master Plan which requires
the City to actively encourage convenient alternatives to automobile use throughout
the Village by encouraging transit operators to provide low-cost transit services,
providing support for higher density and mixed use development, and requiring
developers/employers to provide incentives for alternate transit use.
• Acknowledge that the primary use of the transportation corridor shall be for
transportation facilities and improvements that provide rail, transit services and
support facilities, but also allow the permitted, provisional and accessory land uses
allowed in Districts 1,4 and 6 to also be allowed in the transportation corridor with
findings to ensure there remains adequate land for transit related facilities and that the
development meets the goals, objectives and standards of the Village Master Plan,
and receives approval of the appropriate discretionary permits for the City.
In response to an inquiry from Mayor/Chair Lewis, Ms. Fountain noted that Ocean Street is
not included in the Village Master Plan at this time.
