Document Description
The DTSP Update is a City-initiated proposal to update Specific Plan No. 5-Downtown Specific Plan. The project proposes to reconfigure the existing 11 Specific Plan districts into 7 districts, modify development and parking standards, incorporated design guidelines and provide recommendations for street improvement, public amenities, circulation enhancements, infrastructure and public facility improvements and parking strategies. The project also proposes revised parking requirements and modified parking ratios, the elimination of the Downtown Parking Master Plan concept, a Cultural Arts Overlay in the northern portion of the DTSP area on the site of the existing Main Street Branch library, a Neighborhood Overlay on 1st and 2nd Street between Walnut Avenue and Orange Avenue, and the elimination of the Resource Production Overlay in District 8 of the existing DTSP, although provisions for continued oil recovery remain in the proposed DTSP Update.
The DTSP Update proposes to accommodate future development in the downtown area and contemplates the following net new development potential in the DTSP area.
