Central city Special Planning District

 


To support the Central City Specific Plan’s goals and policies, staff is proposing the Central City Special Planning District (SPD) a zoning tool to remove regulatory barriers that could inhibit housing development in the project area. The new SPD would have area-specific regulations that would include:

  1. Transit supportive heights and densities

  2. New stand-alone surface parking lots prohibited

  3. Auto-oriented uses prohibited

  4. Maximum parking requirements for all commercial uses

  5. Private open space requirements reduced in urban districts and eliminated in the CBD.
