COOMBS LETTER REGARDING MARINA A number of suggestions were received .from the developer of the proposed Marina. The Council concurred with staff's responses. The definition of mixed use was amended as follows: Any combination of commercial, office, and/or residential uses. The intent of the Mixed Use is to allow housing along with commercial uses including but not limited to retail commercial, offices and restaurants.

A property within the Mixed Use designation does not have to include residential.

The property is designated as a Special Study Area on the cu~r,rent General Plan Land Use Map. It is owned by John Frates,. but: fhe~D~u:ffel Company has had an option on it for some time. The draft General Plan map shows this parcel as Special Industrial.. This de_ signation was discussed by the General Plan Coordinating Committee and, applied to;.tfiis property because it is a site large enough to attract the .major employer and campus-type development the City is looking to attract.. With the Urban Separator on two sides and, presumably larger than typical setbacks along Frates and Lakeville, there wouad not. 'be a compatibility problem with nearby residential development. Such a development -.could., in fact; enhance the entrance to the. City along both.. Frates and Lakeville. Finally., because Frates Road has represented.: a boundary, of sorts' to development in that part of the City, an industrial use sets a much `less significant ' precedent. than would either residential or commercial. The hearing was opened. Speaker ~- -Van Logan ' The hearing was closed. It -was the consensus to designate this a Specific Plan Area. • THOMPSON PROPERTY, RANCHO ARROYO BUSINESS PARK (Continuation of Auto' ~ Row) Request -Change the designation of parcels 150-020-09 and 10 in Rancho Arroyo Business Park from Industrial to Thoroughfare Commercial.
