Matter of PD-90-1 GDP/PDP; General and Precise Development Plan Combined; to Construct a 16,000-Square-Foot Retail Shopping Center; Northeast Corner of Davis Street and Douglas Drive; Assessor's Parcel Number 77A-660-205; Plaza 2 Redevelopment Area; Collaborative Design Architects; C-2 (Light Commercial ) District. This being the time and place for the Public Hearing on the above matter, Mayor Karp asked why this matter was not being brought up before the Redevelopment Agency. Community Development Director Bill Rugg replied that a review of this type of application is normally split between the Community Development Planning and Development Divisions; but, due to limited staff in the Development Division, this matter was processed by the Planning Division. Mr. Rugg described the proposal to develop a retail shopping center to replace a fire-damaged building built in the 1940's as a neighborhood shopping center. Two separate buildings are proposed for the site, which will have a 30% reduction in floor space and increased parking capacity, with access from both Douglas and Davis Streets. During discussion about tenant mix and related parking requirements, Council Member Corbett asked how the City could make sure that the tenant mix would not exceed the parking demand. Mr. Rugg responded that the developer would be provided with a list of possible uses for the building. Council Member Santos said he hoped most of the customers at the shopping center would be walk-in, so that additional parking would not be needed. Mr. Rugg replied that this shopping center is intended to service the neighborhood. Mayor Karp reminded the Council that a hardware store in the old shopping center successfully serviced the industrial area without need for any additional parking.
