REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AGENDA STATEMENT ITeM No. MEETING DATE 09/2 ITEM TITLE-' RESOLUTION APPROVING AMENDMENT TO TOWN CENTRE I LAND USE POLICY SUBMII'rED BY:REViEWED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRI~L~ ~,,.~....EXECUTiVE DIRECT~.~,,(..~/X,._.,'~.,4~', VOTE. YES__ NO X~ In 1977, the Redevelopment Agency adopted a land use policy for the Town Centre I Redevelopment Project Area. That policy which is currently in use includes general land use guidelines, a list of allowed uses, and a list of uses not allowed in the Town Centre I. There are no provisions for conditional uses. By request of the Downtown Business Association, staff reviewed the policy. Several amendments are proposed to update and clarify the policy guidelines and a special land use permit category is recommended to be added so that the Agency will be more responsive to current land use trends. The Downtown Business Association, the Town Centre Project Area Committee, and the Economic Development Commission have reviewed the proposed amendments. That the Redevelopment Agency: 1. Adopt the resolution approving amendments to the Town Centre I Land Use Policy attached thereto as Exhibit "A", and 2. Determine that the Town Centre I Land Use Permit process be a pdority work item for the Town Centre I Redevelopment Project Area and that special Agency meetings be called, as needed, to expedite the land use permit process. On August 18, 1999, the Downtown Business Association Board voted to recommend the proposed amendment to the Land Use Policy. On September 1, 1999, the Town Centre Project Area Committee voted 6-0 to recommend that the Redevelopment Agency approve the proposed amendments to the Town Center I Land Use Policy. In addition, the Committee requests that the Agency determine that the Special Land Use Permit process be a staff priority work item in the Town Centre I Redevelopment Project Area and that special Redevelopment Agency meetings be called if necessary to expedite special land use permit applications. On September 1, 1999, the Economic Development Commission members were provided with a copy of the proposed amendments to the Town Centre I Land Use Policy and asked to forward any recommended changes to staff by September 8th. No changes were recommended. PAGE 2~ iTEM MEETING DATE 09/21/99 In an effort to enhance the land use mix in the Downtown area, the Downtown Business Association requested that Agency staff re-evaluate the current Land Use Policy for the Town Centre I Redevelopment Project Area. In cooperation with the Town Centre Project Area Committee, staff reviewed the current policy and recommended the following amendments (copy of amended policy attached at Attachment 1): 1. Add the adopted Downtown "Vision" Statement to the general statement of policy; and 2. Include a reference to the Municipal Code regulations relative to guideline ~ referring to exterior noise levels, and 3. Revise the listings of allowed and non-allowed land uses and formally add a Special Land Use permit category. Rather than a definitive listing of allowed and non-allowed uses, it was recommended that land use categories be developed with a sample of "typical" uses for demonstration purposes and discretion be given to the Director of Community Development to determine comparable uses in the future. Most retail and service commercial uses would be allowed by dght in the Downtown and no special land use review would be required. For those few uses that would require special review, a special land use category was added. This category will allow uses that are out-of-the-ordinary commercial classifications but only subject to the Agency's approval by Special Land Use Permit. This will provide the opportunity for new types of specialty businesses to develop within the Downtown area as land use trends evolve. The Downtown Business Association and the Project Area Committee both agreed with the proposed changes to the existing policy. In addition, the Town Centre Project Area Committee members voted to recommend that the Agency determine that Special Land Use Permits, when required, be considered as a pdority in the Town Centre I Redevelopment Project Area and that special Agency meetings be called to expedite the permit process. Staff agrees with the Committee's recommendation. To further streamline the Special Land Use Permit process, the application form and instruction sheet have been revised and the process has been formalized (copies attached as Attachment #2 for Agency information). As part of the "Vision Statement" implementation strategy, staff also plans to return to the Agency later in the year with recommendations for the development of a downtown entertainment district. No appreciable financial impact to the Redevelopment Agency will result from the proposed Town Centre I Land Use Policy amendment. Depending on the number of Special Land Use Permits requested, additional staff time will be needed and; if, the Agency directs staff to call special Agency meetings to expedite the process, limited associated administrative costs would be incurred.

North arrow Applicants for development projects, including additions and interior/exterior remodels and some proposals involving a change in land use, are advised that they may be required to install and/or modify on- and off-site public and private improvements and pay impact fees. Improvements may include on-site structures, paving and landscaping, and requirements to dedicate, improve and/or modify streets and other public facilities off-site. Fees may include sewer, traffic and development impact fees. The necessity for or exact extent of these requirements and fees, if any, are generally not known until an application has been filed and reviewed by various City departments and outside agencies. Applicants are encouraged to contact the City regarding the possibility for and the general extent of these requirements at the earliest possible stage of project consideration. The city departments normally involved with such requirements are the Department of Planning, Building and Housing, and Fire for private improvements, and the Engineering Department for public improvements and impact fees. For major projects, it is often helpful to schedule an initial meeting with appropriate City staff to review issues and discuss possible requirements prior to formal application. These meetings can be arranged through the Community Development Department.
