Administrator with certain findings. This process would take slightly longer than <br />the 4-5 months estimated above, as further research on conditions and findings <br />would need to be drafted. <br />· The Council could direct that no changes be made to the Downtown Precise <br />Plan. <br />It is important to note that even if the Council adopts active ground floor use <br />requirement, storefronts which are office uses today would be allowed to remain as <br />office space. However, if the space was to become vacant for a period of more than six <br />months, it would need to convert back to an active ground floor use. <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />The alternatives for the Council to consider are noted above in the body of this report. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Staff time would be required to draft changes to the Downtown Precise Plan. <br /> <br />ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br />In 2010, an Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse #2006052027) was <br />prepared to assess potential impacts resulting from the implementation of the DTPP. <br />The DTPP established new land use, development, and urban design regulations for <br />the 183-acre DTPP area, including the potential for up to 500,000 square feet of office <br />space and 100,000 square feet of retail space. The DTPP also determines what uses <br />are allowed on Main Street and other streets in the DTPP area. The DTPP <br />Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified by the City Council on January 24, <br />2011. Based on Council direction, staff will determine if the proposed DTPP amendment <br />is consistent with the findings of the 2010 EIR, or if additional California Environmental <br />Quality Act documentation is necessary. <br /> <br /> <br />AARON AKNIN <br />ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER/DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT <br /> <br />MELISSA STEVENSON DIAZ <br />CITY MANAGER <br /> <br />ATTACHMENT <br />-DTPP Use Regulations <br />8.A. - Page 3
