DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS IN THE DOWNTOWN COMMERCIAL CORE & RED HILL AVENUE SPECIFIC PLANS FOR MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL PARKING AND PRIVATE STORAGE On December 5, 2023, the City Council was provided an assessment of the Downtown Commercial Core Specific Plan (DCCSP) and the Red Hill Avenue Specific Plan (RHASP). The assessment was prepared by Economic Planning Systems (EPS), Inc., and identified potential plan revisions that would remove barriers to development and would better align the plans with the existing real estate market. The Council received and filed the report, and directed staff to bring the recommended policy actions back to the City Council for individual consideration and action. Two considerations presented by EPS included (1) a reduction in the number of parking spaces required for multi-family residential development, and (2) changes to the amount of private storage required for dwelling units. This report provides an assessment of these two potential actions. Staff will receive feedback and incorporate the Commissions feedback in Specific Plan Amendments (SPA), which will be brought back to the Commission and Council for final action. RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission: 1. Receive and file this staff report; 2. Discuss potential revisions to multi-family residential parking requirements in the DCCSP and RHASP; Agenda— Planning Commission Meeting —July 9, 2024— Page 5 3. Discuss potential revisions to multi-family residential private storage requirements in the DCCSP and RHASP; and 4. Provide feedback on changes to DCCSP and RHASP development standards.
