Title

Artesia Corridor Specific Plan Project

Description

The project site is 44.1 acres in size and currently contains 275,885 square feet of primarily commercial and industrial uses on the site, and three single-family residences. The project site is currently zoned for General Commercial (C-3) and General Industrial (M-2) uses. The City's General Plan designates the project site for commercial uses. The proposed Specific Plan would allow for the development of 375,000 square feet of general commercial uses, 40,000 square feet of restaurant uses and 300 residential units, including approximately 70 live-work units with 500 square feet of office space each. The Land Use Plan is designated to accommodate these uses through the creation of three land use designations, Mixed Use, General Commercial, and Public in six Planning Areas. The adoption of a specific plan is authorized by Section 65450 of the California Government Code as a method "for the systematic implementation of the general plan for all or part of the area covered by the general plan." Policy LU 3.3 of the Gardena General Plan 2006 states that the City of Gardena should "Consider the adoption of specific plans for ... the Artesia corridor to promote and direct revitalization efforts, and to further study and evaluate whether a mix of commercial and residential development is appropriate in these areas." As part of the implementation of the Gardena General Plan 2006, the City has prepared the Artesia Corridor Specific Plan. The project would serve as the primary policy and regulator document for the Specific Plan Area and all future development plans for the project site would be required to be consistent with the regulations set forth in the project as well as with all other applicable City regulations, unless otherwise modified by the project.
