LD-P.15., and LD-P.16, on Page 47, and Items 28-30 in the table enclosed as Exhibit B to Attachment 2). - Streetscape Concepts: The plan includes streetscape upgrades including: - Main Street: Modest enhancements including additional sidewalk furniture, paving enhancements, and, in the longer term, a phased effort to re-locate trees into the parking zone in bulb-outs, while minimizing loss of parking spaces (this was the "medium-degree change" option). - Peters Avenue: Substantial changes including a dedicated cycle track, narrowed vehicle lanes, street trees and new pavement treatments (this was the "high-degree change" option). - First Street: Includes adding street furnishings, additional lighting, preserves the roadway for vehicular use, and improves the Transportation Corridor to provide a bicycle and pedestrian route (this was the "medium- degree change" option). - Division Street: Substantial changes include new pavement treatment, trees, street furnishings, lighting, and outdoor dining. The changes prioritize pedestrian use and allows Division Street to be closed to vehicular traffic for special events/specific times but ensures vehicular access for emergency, maintenance, and loading/delivery (this was the "medium-degree change" option). (See Land Use and Design Chapter, Pages 32-41) In an effort to clearly illustrate concepts in the Specific Plan, staff anticipates adding several drawings to provide clarity. These are likely to include depictions that clarify concepts and terminology used in the plan, such as how height is measured, or the concept that doors and windows stimulate comings/goings, as related to active ground floor uses. Additional Approvals Adoption of the DSP would result in the modification of other documents related to downtown, and additional approvals: - Amendments to Land Use Designations: During its review of the DSP, the Task Force considered various map revisions to reconcile discrepancies between the General Plan Land Use Diagram, Downtown Specific Plan Land Use Diagram, and Zoning Map. These discrepancies were sorted into two lists, including those shown on DSP "Map A" that are proposed to be addressed through map revisions at the time of the adoption of the draft specific plan; and "Map B" which would be subject to consideration after adoption of the plan, with additional outreach to property owners and other interested parties. Since a subset of Map A properties require zoning map revisions (alone or together with General Plan or Specific Plan land use diagram amendments), and these amendments would be subject to a separate action by the City Council, staff has used Map A to develop a refined map, showing only these properties, keyed to a list/table indicating existing and proposed zoning designations. The table and maps are part of Exhibits E through G of Attachment 2 and Exhibits A and B of Attachment 3. Page 7 of 18
