Second Reading of Ordinance No. 2456
Recommendation:
That the City Council adopt, by second reading, Ordinance No. 2456, adopting an amendment to the Civic Center Community Sustainability Specific Plan, Case No.
PLAN25-00006, to redesignate approximately 20-acres of the Specific Plan from Office Campus to Civic Commercial on property generally located south of Lorene Drive, east of Valley Center Drive and west of Atstar Drive; and an amendment to the land use table of the Civic Center Specific Plan to conditionally permit new vehicle sales within the Civic Commercial Zone District.
Fiscal Impact:
Changes to a land use regulatory document do not result in a direct fiscal impact; however, the associated allowance for a conditional use permit for new vehicles sales included with the proposal will result in increased sales tax collection for the City.
Increased sales tax revenue is unknown at this time.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Approval of Ordinance No. 2456 to allow for an amendment to the Civic Center Community Sustainability Specific Plan (“Specific Plan”) will enable the City to further fulfill the following Goals outlined in the 2023-2026 Specific Plan:
•Goal C (Community and Economic Development) – The proposed Specific Plan amendment includes changes to the present land use district to provide additional commercial retail allowances in an area of the plan that has had difficulty in attracting suitable uses while also including changes to the land use table to broaden the land use allowances to include more tax generating uses.
