Zak Schwank Kevin*awkins Vice Chair Director of Community Services ITEM NO. 2 CITY OF TEMECULA AGENDA REPORT TO: Temecula Community Services Commission FROM: Luke Watson, Senior Planner DATE: June 8, 2015 SUBJECT: Status Update and Review of the Uptown Jefferson Specific Plan PREPARED BY: Dale West, Associate Planner RECOMMENDATION: Receive and file Draft Uptown Jefferson Specific Plan update BACKGROUND: The Jefferson Avenue Study Area is located north of Rancho California Road, west of Interstate 15, east of Diaz Road /Murrieta Creek and south of Cherry Street. The Study Area is approximately 560 acres and consists primarily of a mix of developed commercial property, and property designated as conservation /open space (Murrieta Creek). At one time, the Jefferson Avenue Study Area was vibrant and bustling with activity — the area was once an important, locally - serving community destination along historic route Highway 395 which was the primary vehicular thoroughfare through the area prior to the construction of Interstate 15. Following the incorporation of the City in 1989, the area continued to develop under typical post -World War II development patterns: an eclectic mix of auto - oriented light industrial, office, strip - commercial and retail uses serving the local community. Although the businesses within the Study Area continue to remain economically - vital, Jefferson Avenue has been overshadowed by new development activity taking place at the Temecula Promenade and Old Town. As a result, it was determined that enhancing the study area's economic assets would be critical to sustaining the area's long term future viability. Since 2012, the Community Development Department has engaged the community in an effort to develop a Specific Plan for the Uptown Jefferson Area. To date 28 public hearings or noticed public meetings have been held through the Envision Jefferson public visioning process, Jefferson Sub - committee meetings, Steering Committee meetings, City Commission meetings and the Developer Forum, as well as outreach through the Envision Jefferson website. Many different stakeholders have participated in many hours of discussions in an effort to determine the best land uses and development standards necessary to develop a new and vibrant Uptown Jefferson. As a result of the Envision Jefferson public visioning process and numerous public meetings, the following guiding principles and recommendations were established to guide the development of the Specific Plan. Guiding Principle #1: Ensure the Specific Plan is based upon economic & market realities. Guiding Principle #2: Ensure the Specific Plan is flexible in order to allow for innovation and reaction to market realities. Recommendation 1 - Strengthen Economic Development Goal: Spark the revitalization of the area through comprehensive economic development strategies that support a sustainable fiscal foundation for the future. Recommendation 2 - Expand the Mix of Uses Goal: Allow for greater flexibility and a wider array of land use options within the specific plan area. Recommendation 3 - Define Districts and Neighborhoods Goal: Encourage the definition and development of districts within the area based upon current and historical uses in order to cultivate unique character. Recommendation 4 - Improve Transportation, Mobility, Connectivity and Circulation Goal: Encourage the development of a multi - modal, interconnected circulation network that improves circulation for vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians and transit. Recommendation 5 - Integrate Recreation, Open Spaces and Trails Goal: Encourage public and private investment in the development of world class walking and biking trails, public open spaces and active and passive recreation spaces. Recommendation 6 - Create Updated and Flexible Development Standards Goal: Create urban development standards that will guide future development while being flexible and adaptable to changing market demands and economic conditions. Recommendation 7 - Build and Maintain a Comprehensive Utility Infrastructure System Goal: Ensure adequate infrastructure capacity to support future urban development Recommendation 8 - Establish Distinct Identity Goal: Establish a recognizable identity, experience, and brand. The draft Uptown Jefferson Specific Plan has followed the guiding principles and incorporated the communities input and eight visioning goals. Staff will provide the Old Town Local Review Board an update and overview of the draft Specific Plan elements and the draft adoption schedule.
