<br />Chapter 1 Introduction <br />provide a framework for the development of compact, transit-oriented development that contains a mix <br />of residential, commercial, and professional uses in order to address the City’s and the region’s goals of <br />providing sites for housing in already urbanized locations that are adjacent to transit, thereby reducing <br />vehicle trips, stimulating investment in underutilized land, and improving the jobs/housing balance <br />within the City. This will lead to potential development of approximately 4,075 residential units, <br />387,000 sf of retail development, and an additional 15.5 acres of open space within the City. Adoption of <br />this project would allow the City to consider subsequent actions consistent with these updates in the <br />General Plan and Land Use designations. Table 3-1 (Summary of Transit Zoning Code [SD84A and <br />SD84B] Development Potential) lists the overall potential net change that would occur as a result of the <br />project area. <br />In terms of net development, the Transit Zoning Code would allow for the potential development of <br />approximately 351,000 square feet (sf) of retail development and the addition of new open space within <br />the City. Creation of this Transit Zoning Code area would allow the City to consider subsequent actions <br />consistent with these updates. Table 1-1 (Summary of Transit Zoning Code Potential Net Change) lists <br />the overall potential net change that could occur as a result of any new construction built pursuant to the <br />standards contained within the Transit Zoning Code. <br /> <br />Table 1-1 Summary of Transit Zoning Code Potential Net Change <br />Land Use Type Potential Gross Development Existing Uses to be Converted Potential Net Development <br />Residential (units) 4,272197 4,075 <br /> <br />Retail (sf) 693,00306,00387,000 <br /> <br />Industrial (sf) 90,0001,080,000(990,000) <br /> <br />Commercial (sf) 0 124,000(124,000) <br /> <br />Civic (sf) 8,00029,000(21,000) <br /> <br />Open Space (sf) 680,0000 680,000 <br /> <br />Surface Parking Lot (sf) 67,000 1,839,00(1,772,000) <br /> <br /> <br />The key procedural actions related to the Transit Zoning Code and CEQA include: <br /> <br />¦ <br />Circulate Initial Study/Notice of Preparation (30 days) July 20, 2006-August 22, 2006 <br /> <br />¦ <br />Filed NOC and Circulated Draft EIR February 2, 2010 <br /> <br />¦ <br />Conducted Scoping Meeting at February 22, 2010 Planning Commission Meeting <br /> <br />¦ <br />Re-Circulated Alternatives Section/extended DEIR review period, February 24, 2010- April 12, <br />2010 <br /> <br />¦ <br />Conducted Scoping Meeting at March 22, 2010 Planning Commission Meeting <br />Revised Station District Project and FOL Settlement Agreement Findings of Fact/Statement of Overriding <br />1-3 <br />Considerations <br /> <br />
