Present Land Use
The proposed restrooms are in conformance with the land use designation of Commercial/Office and the zone district of Downtown Commercial, as described in the City of Shafter General Plan - September 1993 and the City of Shafter Zoning Regulations, respectively. The project will be required to meet all local city zoning regulations and ordinances pertaining to this zone district. The area is characterized by existing and commercial uses; therefore, the proposed project is compatible with existing development and the City's goal of promoting the downtown.
Document Description
This project consists of design and installation of public restrooms and related enhancements to the existing Shafter Town Square facility. The Town Square currently includes a public stage, interactive fountain, sitting areas, decorative landscaping and related features for public events and general use. However, there is an apparent need for restrooms to be available to the public during social events and gatherings. This project will reduce the need for attendees to use restroom facilities at neighboring private commercial businesses. Continued operation and maintenance will be conducted and funded by the City of Shafter. Community Development Block Grant funds in the amount of $101,600 have been provided for this project.
