Document Description
The proposed project involves the redevelopment of three major blocks of properties at the intersection of State Street and Mason Street with a total of 17,532 square feet of commercial retail uses and 81 vacation ownership units. The 81 vacation ownership units each have a lock-out unit, thereby providing for the possibility of a total of 162 transient lodging units. A total of 210 parking spaces are proposed, including a 145-space parking structure south of the railroad right-of-way between State Street and Helena Avenue. Public right-of-way alterations are also proposed, including a reconfiguration of on-street parking on Mason Street and Helena Avenue, a widening of the sidewalk and narrowing of the State Street roadway along the project frontage consistent with the State Street Plaza design north of U.S. Highway 101, and other alterations. These alterations are proposed in cooperation with the Redevelopment Agency, to allow for the consistent development of the portion State Street between the railroad right-of-way and Cabrillo Boulevard. A traffic signal is also proposed at the intersection of State Street and Mason Street. A 2,500 square feet Visitor Information Center (VIC) is also proposed within the proposed project (in addition to the 17,532 square feet of commercial uses) along State Street adjacent to the railroad tracks. The proposed VIC would provide its required parking within the surface parking lot previously approved for 125 State Street as part of the Coastal Development Permit for the Railroad Depot Improvement Project.
