Present Land Use
The 8.25-acre project site is located in the City of Davis, California, north of Russell Boulevard, east of Sycamore Lane, and west of Anderson Road. The project site is currently developed with the University Mall, a 103,695-square-foot (sf) neighborhood shopping center that includes a variety of commercial uses and restaurants. Current tenants include a Trader Joe's grocery store, Cost Plus World Market, and smaller shops and services. Professional offices are located on a partial second floor. The site is designated as Community Retail per the City's General Plan and is zoned PD #2-97B.
Document Description
The proposed project would include demolition of approximately 90,653 sf of the existing University Mall building to create a mixed-use development. Buildout of the proposed project would result in the addition of 264 new multifamily residential units and approximately 136,800 sf of retail space, not including the existing Trader Joe's building, which would be retained as-is. The addition of 136,800 sf of retail uses would accommodate shops, restaurants, and other uses. The proposed project would include a three-level parking structure that would be situated beneath a portion of the residential development and would provide parking for residential and retail uses.
The redeveloped University Mall building would include four levels of residential uses over three levels of parking and four levels of residential uses over retail uses. At buildout, the redeveloped University Mall building would be seven stories and approximately 80 feet in height, with the northeast portion along Anderson Road stepping down to three stories and 44 feet in height. Two new buildings, identified as Retail 7 and Retail 8, would be added to the site adjacent to Russell Boulevard and would consist of approximately 34,000 sf of new retail space. The existing 13,200-sf Trader Joe's grocery store building, located on the southwestern portion of the site, would remain unchanged at project buildout.
