COMMITTEE BUSINESS
1. Staff provided an overview of the key discussion points and takeaways from the previous
steering committee meetings. More specifically, staff discussed how the draft plan would
address the expiration of legal non-conforming land uses and non-conforming buildings
that are destroyed or damaged.
2. Staff presented an overview of the purpose, value and benefits of smaller blocks,
narrower streets, building visibly, street frontage and alleys.
3. Staff presented an overview of the hypothetical street grid concept map and how a new
circulation network may incrementally occur in the future.
4. Staff presented the draft blocks size standards and how these standards will be
implemented as new development occurs in the future.
5. Staff presented a case study example of how smaller blocks could develop as new
projects are proposed in the Uptown Jefferson Specific Plan area.
6. Staff presented an overview of a future street cross section concept of Jefferson Avenue
and the various elements that will be included in the future street cross section
(decorative Lighting, medians, street trees, on-street parking and dedicated bike lanes).
7. Staff presented an overview of the draft streetscape beautification plan and the various
elements/improvements that will be included as a part of the specific plan. Staff also
discussed the timing of the streetscape improvements, indicating that the improvements
could potentially be funded and constructed as a future CIP project.
