No feasible mitigation <br />measures are available to reduce the effect. A statement of overriding <br />consideration will be needed should Environmental Impact Report 2004-01 be <br />certified. <br /> <br />Zoning Ordinance Amendment <br /> <br />In 1993, a specific development zone (SD-59) was approved on the site to <br />accommodate an extremely intense mixed-use proj ect. The entitlement <br />included a 22 and 32-story office tower, 19-story residential tower (216 <br />units), hotel, parking structure, restaurants, health club, retail <br />space, cinemas and live theater and attached residences (64 units). The <br />total project gross square footage was 1,964,770 with parking to <br />accommodate 5,464 spaces. <br /> <br />The specific development district is a customized zoning classification <br />used for unique and/or mixed-use proj ects. The specific development <br />plan proposed for City Place incorporates the intent of the previous <br />enti tIed proj ect without the high-density residences or intensity of <br />commercial space (Exhibit 6). The specific development text lays out <br />cri teria for the review of the proj ect. Due to the lower scale and <br />intensi ty of the proposed proj ect, the development of the site is in <br />many ways different than that previously approved and therefore requires <br />an amendment to the current SD-59. The following highlights those <br />changes: <br /> <br />Land uses <br /> <br />A variety of commercial uses will continue to be permitted with an <br />emphasis on sit-down eating establishments, retail and a live theater. <br />A change to those permitted will be to require Building E to be occupied <br />by a minimum 25,000 square foot tenant in order to accommodate an <br />appropriate sized market. Additionally, prohibited uses would include <br />schools, clinics, take-out only food uses and drive-through facilities. <br /> <br />Those uses allowed by way of a conditional use permit include any <br />establishment operating between midnight and 5:00 a.m., a live-work <br />community, uses wishing to sell for on or off premise consumption of <br />alcoholic beverages, banquet facilities and a residential model complex. <br /> <br />75A-38 <br /> <br />
