COMMITTEE BUSINESS -
1. Staff recapped the proposed form based code compliance matrix and the feedback
received at the last steering committee meeting regarding using 50% of a structure's
assessed value as the threshold to require that a project comply with all of the
requirements of the specific plan. Staff indicated that after reconsidering this issue, the
specific plan will require that when an addition to an existing building or site exceeds
50% of the structure(s) appraised value, that the project would have to comply with all of
the specific plan requirements.
2. Staff then presented an overview of the draft Urban Architectural Design Guidelines.
The discussion included a presentation on the goals of the specific plan design
guidelines, urban building forms, building frontage types and architectural design
principles. Staff discussed the draft architectural design principles and presented photo
examples of the urban design elements that are desired in the Uptown Jefferson Specific
Plan area.
3. Staff then presented a discussion on the draft Adaptive Reuse Standards, the purpose of
allowing for adaptive re-use projects with the specific plan area, the definition of an
adaptive reuse project, the applicability of the adaptive re-use standards, as well as the
draft incentives and findings for adaptive reuse projects.
4. Staff then presented a slide on the future plan financing and funding mechanisms. Staff
discussed Redevelopment, the City's Capital Improvement Program, and infrastructure
financing districts, business improvements districts and parking districts.
5. Staff then discussed the overall project schedule and next steps, indicating that over the
next few months, staff will be writing the draft specific plan and working with the
environmental consultant to get the draft EIR completed. Staff indicated that the draft
specific plan and draft EIR would be released for a 45-day review period. Staff indicated
that the earliest that the project would go to City Council for approval would be March
2014.
