2-12 CITY OF RIVERSIDE
Twogood Neighborhood Conservation AreaThis area is bounded by 14th Street to the north, Prospect Avenue to the south, Main Street to the west and Mulberry Street to the east. The period of significance is 1880-1910. It represents one of Riverside’s first residential neighborhoods and includes a high concentration of Victorian era architectural styles. This district was named for Daniel C. Twogood who built and lived in the Mission Revival Style residence at 3410 Prospect Avenue. The Prospect Place Historic District is included within the Twogood Neighborhood Conservation Area. Many of the homes that were originally located in the Twogood Neighborhood Conservation Area have been removed to accommodate the Press Enterprise expansion, therefore, this area is being reviewed to determine whether or the not the Neighborhood Conservation Area designation is still valid.2.3EXISTING DEVELOPMENT AND LAND USEThere is a wide diversity of land uses within the Specific Plan area including government and judicial offices, commercial and office uses, parking facilities, cultural and institutional facilities, visitor facilities, some older industrial uses, and single and multiple-family residences (Table 2B). Excluding roads and right-of-ways, which take up approximately 30% of the total land area, the wide range of land uses in the Specific Plan area are fairly evenly distributed, with no single use exceeding approximately 13% of the total land area. Commercial services are the greatest single land user (excluding roads and right-of-ways) in the Downtown, and residential uses also account for a large percentage. In general, residential uses ring the Specific Plan area, surrounding the Downtown’s commercial, office and civic core.Table 2BExisting Land Use in the Downtown Specific Plan AreaLand UseApproximate Land Area (Acres)Percentage of Total Land AreaSingle Family Detached Residential80.712%13%Multiple family Residential 45.3 7%Commercial Services 82.7 13%Office 41.5 6%Intensive Industry 20.75%3%Institutional23.0 22.24%3%Parks/Recreation/Open Space 19.5 3%Community Facilities 23.5 4%Education Facilities 7.0 1%Utilities 3.7 1%Transportation 53.5 8%Public Right-of-Way (non-road) 1.2 1%Vacant 34.6 5%Roads and Right-of-Ways 202.5 32%Total639.5 638.7100%Source: This information was obtained from the City’s Geographic Information Systems (GIS) database and field verified by City Staff in December 2000.PR-2024-001701 (GPA, SPA, RZ, DR) Exhibit 10 - Downtown Specific Plan Amendment-redlined FAIRMOUNT PARKLAKE EVANSTo MountRubidoox1123451361213149111510Raincross District Justice Center DistrictLEGENDKey Historic, Cultural, and Civic ElementsRegional Entry Points Local Entry Points Major Open SpacesKey Pedestrian Linkages Strategic Parking SitesFreeway Underpass ConnectionsView Corridor- Courthouse from Market Street- Market Street to Mission InnUrban Hiking TrailHistoric Magnolia Street Corridor1 Convention Center and Hotel Expansion2 Convention Center Hotel3 Convention Center4 Fox Theater5 Mission Inn6 Main Library7 Municipal Auditorium8 Riverside Art Museum9 Packing House (Restaurant)10 Santa Fe Railroad Station11 Union Pacific Railroad Station12 Municipal Museum13 Proposed Performing Arts School14 City Hall15 County CourthouseFigure 4AUrban Design FrameworkDowntown Specific Plan87 MOB AND AUTOSHOP PROPERTIES REMOVED FROM SPECIFIC PLAN AREA – SEE REVISED EXHIBIT NEXT PAGEPR-2024-001701 (GPA, SPA, RZ, DR) Exhibit 10 - Downtown Specific Plan Amendment-redlined
