The purpose and intent of the PA-1 zone is to enable the development of Priority Area 1 as a vibrant, compact, transit-oriented development that is focused around a proposed Tri Delta Transit/BART transit station and as an employment center within the city. This will be accomplished through goals, policies, regulations, and guidelines that address land use, architectural and urban design, circulation and parking, infrastructure, public services, and economic development in the Priority Area 1 Specific Plan (PA-1 SP) area. The PA-1 SP addresses the needs of the various users who frequent the Specific Plan area, including residents, workers, and visitors. The PA-1 SP is intended to guide private development and public investment within the specific plan area for the next twenty to twenty-five years.
(Ord. 1007 § 5, 2018)
The PA-1 SP establishes the primary means of regulating land use and development within the PA-1 zone. It also establishes the primary means of planning city actions and investments in support of the growth and redevelopment of the area within the PA-1 zone. The provisions of the PA-1 SP replace land use and development regulations previously contained within this title for applicable properties. In the instance of conflicting regulations with other municipal planning documents containing policies for land use and development in the PA-1 zone, the PA-1 SP and this chapter shall control. The PA-1 SP and this chapter do not replace or augment regulations pertaining to issues of building safety codes or other non-planning related codes. All applications for new construction, substantial modifications to existing buildings, and for changes in land use, shall be reviewed for conformance with the PA-1 SP.
(Ord. 1007 § 5, 2018)
A copy of the PA-1 SP is on file with the city clerk's office, the community development department, and is accessible via the city's website.
