4.Written Comments on the Draft EIR and Responses to Comments Plan goals for maintaining and expanding pedestrian and bicycle access." Existing bike and pedestrian access south of Stoneridge Drive in the Val Vista Neighborhood would not be altered by the EDZ. Master Response to Comments About Nonconforming Uses and Grandfathering of Existing Uses Within the Proposed EDZ Several commenters requested clarification regarding the potential legal-nonconforming status of existing land uses within the proposed EDZ area, including the AT&T property and Valley Bible Church. Protecting existing businesses is a primary goal of the EDZ; with regard to the impact on existing businesses and land uses within the EDZ, the City is proposing that the EDZ ensure that property owners within the EDZ will be able to continue leasing and operating existing businesses for as long as desired, so that existing land uses are "grandfathered in."The City is also currently exploring ways to allow for some degree of expansion or replacement of existing businesses that do not conform to the uses desired as part of the EDZ,while still retaining the EDZ's redevelopment and growth potential. This may include adjusting setback requirements and other development regulations for existing business, and classifying existing uses as conforming to the proposed land use and zoning designations. 4.2.2 Responses to Individual Comments This section includes copies of comment letters received during the public review period on the Draft SEIR, followed by individual responses to the comments contained in each letter.
