A REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Item No.
Application complete date: N/A
P.C. AGENDA OF: November 18, 2015 Project Planner: Scott Donnell
Project Engineer: N/A
SUBJECT: DRAFT VILLAGE & BARRIO MASTER PLAN – Staff presentation on the draft Village &
Barrio Master Plan. The proposed planning document provides land use regulations and
design guidelines for the city’s downtown Village and adjacent Barrio. The Village and
Barrio are generally located west of Interstate 5 between Tamarack Avenue and Buena
Vista Lagoon. The railroad corridor forms the west boundary of the Barrio. Parts of both
neighborhoods are in the Coastal Zone.
I. RECOMMENDATION
This is an information item only. No recommendation is proposed as staff is not requesting the Planning
Commission take action at this time.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
Staff will present the draft Village & Barrio Master Plan. The presentation will help publicize the start of
the public review period for the draft master plan, overview and highlight the plan’s contents, and outline
its review schedule and community input opportunities.
The presentation will provide information only about the draft and its review. The master plan is not
being considered for adoption at this time. Public hearings to consider plan adoption will occur in 2016.
The master plan has been prepared in conjunction with Dover, Kohl & Partners, a town planning firm from
Coral Gables, Florida.
III. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, this action does not constitute a "project" within the
meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change in the environment,
or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and therefore does not require
environmental review.
Preparation of an environmental document is underway. The document will be presented for the
Commission’s consideration as part of master plan adoption hearings.
