CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING AGENDA PACKET 8-11-26

Resolution No. PC-2026-14 Page Six the project does not meet these objectives because it is inconsistent with the General Plan and Downtown Specific Plan, removes commercial or mixed- use components, and does not provide active, pedestrian -oriented ground- floor design. The project also fails to demonstrate superior site planning due to limited pedestrian connectivity, constrained circulation, inconsistent access design, and insufficient integration of landscaping and site features. In addition, the building’s height, massing, and orientation do not provide appropriate transitions to surrounding development or contribute to the intended downtown character. As such, the Commission finds and recommends the City Council determine that this finding cannot be made. Section 5: The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council deny Case Nos. P26-0360 and PUD-152 for a (1) Planned Unit Development (PUD) Rezoning to rezone the subject parcel from MU-T (Mixed Use-Transitional) District to PUD-MU-T (Planned Unit Development-Mixed Use-Transitional) District; (2) a Certificate of Appropriateness to demolish an existing 6,160 -square-foot commercial office building in the Downtown Revitalization District; and (3) a PUD Development Plan to construct a three-story, four-unit, residential building with units ranging in size from 430 square feet to 13,626 square feet and associated site improvements located at 231 Old Bernal Avenue. Section 6: This resolution shall become effective immediately upon its passage and adoption.
