<br /> Outdoor Dining in Mixed Use-Transitional
<br /> As currently recommended by the Task Force, outdoor dining applications (i.e., applications to
<br /> allow tables, chairs, umbrellas, and other furniture associated with dining outdoors) in the
<br /> Mixed Use-Transitional district would require review and approval by the Planning Commission.
<br /> Outdoor dining applications in other districts requires review by the Zoning Administrator instead
<br /> of the Planning Commission, and the Zoning Administrator's action is subject to a 15-day appeal
<br /> period. As such, staff recommends outdoor dining in the Mixed Use-Transitional district be
<br /> subject to the same level of review as other zoning districts, and not be subject to review by
<br /> Planning Commission.
<br /> Amendments to Land Use Designations
<br /> During its review of the DSP, the Task Force considered various map revisions to reconcile
<br /> discrepancies between the General Plan Land Use Diagram, Downtown Specific Plan Land Use

<br /> a drive aisle (25-feet).
<br /> Figure 1 shows an example of a corner lot located at 189 W. Angela Street (at the northeast
<br /> corner of Peters Avenue and Angela Street), which has an approximate dimension of 50-feet, as
<br /> measured perpendicular to Peters Avenue. This may not be able to accommodate viable
<br /> commercial space, since it leaves approximately 25-feet for the commercial space once a
<br /> 25-foot wide drive aisle is taken into consideration. Approximate lot dimensions of select other
<br /> properties are identified in Table 2.

<br />luded in the table of recommended revisions to the
<br /> November 2018 draft Specific Plan with Item 31 in Exhibit E, attached. Specifically, the policy
<br /> direction notes that if ground-floor residential is located behind commercial properties (in the
<br /> Downtown Commercial District where ground-floor may be considered and in the
<br /> Mixed Use-Transitional District), it must be designed to minimize visibility from the commercial
<br /> street frontage. While the phrase, "minimizing visibility" is subjective and will be determined by
<br /> the hearing body, there are tools that can be used to aid in an accurate review by the hearing
<br /> body. As such, staff recommends strengthening the specific plan relating to visibility as follows:
<br /> • Add an implementation measure to formalize story pole requirements to ensure accurate
<br /> story poles are installed.
