Present Land Use
Current: Specific Plan Area Business Park and Neighborhood Commercial
Proposed: Specific Plan Area - Mixed Use
Document Description
The project would amend the City's General Plan and Heart of the City Specific Plan to allow mixed-use development on approximately 203 acres. The amendment would change the land use designation to Mixed Use and would rezone the area from Specific Plan Area - Business Park and Neighborhood Commercial to Specific Plan Area - Mixed Use.
The Specific Plan would include 2,600 residential units, 800 units of student housing, 450 hotel rooms, 750,000 square feet of general office, 300,000 square feet of medical office, 1,000,000 square feet of mixed use retail, 13.91 acres of park/developed open space, 30,000 square feet of community/civic use, 43.18 acres of public streets/sidewalks and 26.07 acres of preserved open space (associated with San Marcos Creek). It should be noted that up to 200 additional student housing units may be provided, but a corresponding decrease in residential units would be proposed (decreasing to 2,400 units). Additionally, the number of hotel rooms could increase to 600 rooms with a corresponding decrease in general office use by 100,000 square feet.
