RECOMMENDATION

REQUEST

Staff requests consideration of three related and connected Specific Plans, also referred to as Corridor Plans, centered along older commercial corridors in developed areas of the City.  The three Specific Plans are the Atlantic Street Corridor Specific Plan, the Douglas-Harding Corridor Specific Plan, and the Douglas-Sunrise Corridor Specific Plan.  The purpose of these three Specific Plans is to encourage and facilitate the revitalization and redevelopment of the areas consistent with the vision for each plan.  The project includes land use and zone district amendments to correct inconsistencies, replace outdated zone districts with the City’s current zone districts, and create logical land use and zoning patterns; water and sewer infrastructure studies to ensure there is sufficient available capacity to support up to 850 units of multifamily residential development across all three Plan Areas (up to 50 units in the Atlantic Street Corridor, up to 200 units in the Douglas-Harding Corridor and up to 600 units in the Douglas-Sunrise Corridor); conceptual streetscape plans; design guidelines and development standards for multifamily and nonresidential development; frontage improvement guidelines and standards; permitted use tables; and entitlement process streamlining.  The project also includes land use corrections over areas adjacent to the three Specific Plans.  These include correcting the land use designation over the Dry Creek open space area from the existing Low Density Residential designation to the Open Space designation and removing the land use designation over arterial roadways, because land use designations are generally not applied to arterial roadways elsewhere in the City.

The project includes a General Plan Amendment to amend General Plan text and exhibits to reflect the adoption of three new Specific Plans and amend the Land Use Diagram consistent with the three new Specific Plans, which includes changing land use designations to be consistent with the existing zoning or underlying use of the land and surrounding properties, correcting land use from Low Density Residential to Open Space over the Dry Creek open space area, and removing the land use designations over arterial roadways within and adjacent to the three new Specific Plans.  The project also includes a Rezone to replace outdated Planned Development zone districts within the Specific Plans with one of the City’s current zone districts, to change the zone district of specified properties to be consistent with the existing use of the land and surrounding properties, and to establish Special Area (SA) zone district overlay in each of the Specific Plan areas.  The project includes an Ordinance Amendment to Title 19 of the Roseville Municipal Code (Zoning Ordinance), Chapter 19.18.030 Special Area District for the purpose of adding the three new Specific Plans to the list of Special Area Districts, adding new Chapter 19.33 Commercial Corridor Plans to establish the permitted uses (including non-conforming uses), development standards, parking standards, and entitlement and approval procedures for the three Specific Plans; amending Chapter 19.24.020 (Nonconforming Uses and Structures) to refer to the new Chapter 19.33 standards; amending Chapter 19.26.030 (Parking space requirements by use type) to refer to the parking reduction processes of the new Chapter 19.33; and amending Chapter 19.78.020 (Required public hearings, authorized Approving Authority and public notice) acknowledging the new approval procedures within the new Chapter 19.33.

Applicant/Owner: City of Roseville
