For the purpose of the SEIR,the area of the proposed Zone includes 12 parcels <br /> located at 7106-7315 Johnson Drive and 7080 Commerce Circle, comprising approximately 40 <br /> acres and currently containing a mix of land uses, including light industrial, office,retail, and <br /> institutional uses. The area is bounded by a fitness center and parking uses on the north; light <br /> industrial,wastewater treatment, and Park and Ride uses to the east; Stoneridge Drive and the I-680 <br /> interchange to the south; and I-680 to the west. The area of the proposed Zone currently includes <br /> 224,688 square feet of occupied building space. The area of the proposed.Zone previously included <br /> 573,723 square feet of building space. <br /> Some environmental impacts related to the proposed Zone were addressed in the <br /> General Plan ER (2009) and the 2012 SEIR; accordingly,the SEIR for the Zone focuses on <br /> impacts related to the intensified commercial and other uses that would be developed in the area <br /> of the proposed Zone that were not specifically addressed in the General Plan EIR and 2012 <br /> SEIR. <br /> Proposed Zone <br /> The Zone, which is the project analyzed in the SEIR, consists of policies, <br /> regulations, and guidelines to allow for and facilitate future development and redevelopment <br /> within the area of the proposed Zone. The Zone is designed to establish a vision and policy <br /> framework for the area with the purpose of encouraging investment. The Zone would replace or <br /> supplement current policies that apply within the area of the proposed Zone, and is intended to <br /> guide future development. <br /> To ensure consistency across the City's planning documents,the proposed Zone <br /> includes a General Plan amendment, rezoning, and other entitlements, and would implement a <br /> number of existing General Plan goals,policies, and programs. As part of the proposed Zone,the <br /> City could also specify fees and fee credits for prospective uses; specify off-site improvements; <br /> and execute one or more Development Agreements with identified property owners. A tax • <br /> incentive or rebate program may also be established. <br /> No specific development projects have been proposed for the area of the proposed <br /> Zone. Detailed planning applications for specific development projects within the area of the <br /> proposed Zone would be submitted to the City at a later date. <br /> While the extent of future development within the area of the proposed Zone is <br /> unknown,the Zone provides parameters for future development that may take place. The uses <br /> authorized by the Zone include club retail (also known as warehouse club),hotel, recreational, <br /> office/commercial, and small- and large-format retail establishments. Existing uses within the <br /> area of the proposed Zone would be permitted to operate until redevelopment activities occur on <br /> those specific parcels. <br /> With development of the Zone,the area could contain up to 535,490 square feet of <br /> occupied building space, a net increase of 310,802 square feet over the existing occupied <br /> buildings within the area of the proposed Zone. It is assumed that development of the Zone would <br /> occur in two or more phases, including an initial phase(Phase I) during which Parcels 6, 9 and 10 <br /> 5 <br />
