The Planning Commission held public workshops on the First Street Specific Plan on January 25 and March 22, 2011. On September 15, 2011, Community Development Department staff held a Community Workshop with affected property owners and other interested parties. The purpose of all three workshops was to identify and discuss First Street Specific Plan document strengths and weaknesses with the intent of identifying necessary revisions that might be needed.

At that time, the Planning Commission directed that all discretionary actions needed to implement the proposed amendment of the First Street Specific Plan be presented for formal action at their meeting of October 23, 2012.

Eliminate the hopscotch zoning pattern of primary uses so that retail and office uses can occur anywhere in the District; 4. List auto repair as a conditionally permitted use; 5. Update parking, development, and use regulations; 6. Revise First Street Specific Plan Boundaries to include or exclude entire properties; 7. Eliminate references to the Community Redevelopment Agency; 8. Eliminate the First Street Specific Plan’s tow-tier system of supporting primary uses and discouraging secondary uses, and; 9. Update First Street Specific Plan Design Guidelines. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS - DRAFT NEGATIVE DECLARATION: The California Environmental Quality Act requires an analysis of a project’s potential impacts prior to formal consideration by the appointed decision maker.

The proposed GPA 2012-01 and SPA 2012- 01 are considered a “project” subject to the terms of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). An Initial Study and findings for a proposed Negative Declaration have been prepared regarding this project for Agenda – Planning Commission October 23, 2012 – Page 2 of 4 consideration and recommendation by the Planning Commission.
