Document Description
The proposed Ravenswood Business District ("RBD" or "project site") is comprised of approximately 140-acres, exclusive of streets. The area presently includes a variety of industrial, and commercial uses, as well as some residential and agricultural uses. Approximately 45 acres within the development are undeveloped, 20 acres of which are adjacent to the Ravenswood Open Space Preserve. The proposed General Plan amendment and rezoning of the Ravenswood Industrial Area could serve as a catalyst for development of the Ravenswood Business District. The proposed district would be divided into four core areas to include workplace Core, Business District Center, and Mixed Use and Residential Transition. Workplace Core District is intended to feature a variety of public spaces, with buildings facing such spaces to enhance spatial quality with architectural forms. The Business District Center is intended to provide well-crafted architectural details appropriate for the most prominent street front in the district. The Mixed-Use Transition District is intended for public and quasi-public buildings and Research & Development. The Residential Transition District is intended for multi-residential development.
