COMMITTEE BUSINESS
1. Staff provided an overview of what was presented at the previous steering committee
meeting (October 29, 2013), including Visioning Recommendation #4 (improve
transportation, mobility, connectivity and circulation), and the existing and future multi-
mobility network (vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles and transit).
2. Staff provided a recap of the draft urban parking ratios that were presented at the
previous steering committee meeting. Staff also reiterated that the urban parking ratios
are intended to be an incentive to spur future development and allow for near-term
projects to be constructed with surface parking, instead of requiring a large number of
parking spaces, which would likely require new projects to construct structured parking
in order to meet the minimum parking standard.
3. Staff then presented the proposed draft specific plan framework which included a
discussion on how the draft specific plan will be administered, how and when projects
will be required to comply with certain sections of the new specific plan, how permits will
be processed, and the approval authority required for project approval.
4. Staff also discussed minor exceptions, variances and interpretations, and under what
conditions or circumstances a property owner can be relieved of the strict compliance
with the specific plan requirements.
5. Staff then presented the framework and draft requirements for permanent signs in the
specific plan area. The discussion included an overview of the allowable sign types,
when and how the new sign standards apply, prohibited sign types, how'much sign area
is permitted, lighting methods, and the framework for a future public signage concept in
the specific plan area.
6. In closing, staff indicated when the next steering committee meeting would be held and
presented the overall project schedule for the specific plan and EIR. Staff also reminded
the public to check the project website for updates, documents, agendas, presentations
and videos from this (and previous) meetings.
