POLICIES AND ACTIONS PROGRESS Action 53.01-A: East 14`r' Mixed Use Development Ensure that the East 14`" South Area Development Strategy, now underway, includes specific incentives to include housing in new development projects. These incentives could include, but would not be limited to, reduced parking requirements, reduced setbacks, reduced fees, allowances for higher densities and additional density bonuses, and direct financial assistance through the Redevelopment Agency. Pursuant to Action 8.04-A of the Land Use Element, a new `Mixed Use"zone should be created on the southern part of East 14`" Street (Thornton to 1 SO`") which emphasizes upper floor residential uses and ground floor retail uses. Zoning on this corridor should allow second or third story housing as a permitted use, subject to performance standards and development standards which reduce the possibility for conflicts and off-site impacts. Development opportunities on the corridor should be publicized through the City's Business Development Programs. Additional information on. the South Area Development Strategy, which is being funded in part by a $S0, 000 Downtown Rebound Grant from HCD, is contained in Chapter 4 One of the strategy's first tasks was an expanded inventory of housing opportunity sites along East 14'" Street. The housing matrix in Appendix A is consistent with this inventory and identifies almost 40 sites along the corridor for future housing or mixed use development. Several potential areas for site assembly have been identified, including the area around the Islander Motel.. Site assembly would create larger and more viable development sites, thereby facilitating affordable housing projects. As noted in Action 53.02-B below, the City will also encourage future residential infill development along this corridor through promotional materials and newsletters.
