Zone Change Analysis
o Current C2 zoning allows retail and office
uses
C2 zone does not list public park as permitted
or conditionally permitted use
o Proposed zone change would create zoning
consistency for the existing park use.
o Existing CR and P overlay zones would remain the
same
Zone Change Analysis
The respite park serves as an amenity to the
primary uses nearby
Opportunity to maintain open space in Old
Town
o Public park space is lacking
o Pepper Tree Park is only other park within the
Old Town area and it is located at the north
perimeter.
The respite park expands and enhances
pedestrian experience along EI Camino Real
CUP Analysis
o Public park uses are conditionally permitted
in P&I zones.
CUP approval will bring the existing respite
park into zoning compliance.
o Successor Agency intends to maintain the
project site as a respite park, providing the
Old Town area with a unique open space
feature.
Recommendation
o City Council have the first reading of
Ordinance No. 1448 for Zone Change 2014-
002, schedule the second reading and adopt
Resolution No. 14-63, approving CUP 2014-17
to accommodate a public park use.
