The Development Code Amendment, DCA 92-05, will implement the
Specific Plan. GPA 92-03 will add policy to the General Plan to
permit residential apartments and condominiums on the 2nd floor
above retail uses.

Steering Committee composed of Councilwoman Estrada, Development
staff and consultants~ and the TeChnical Advisory Committee
composed of representatives from Development, Planning, Public
Works, Parks and Recreation, Police and Fire~ and Property OWners

Environmental Impact Report was prepared and presented to the
Environmental Review COlDlllittee on November 14, 1991. The review
and COlDlllent period extended from October 31, 1991 to December 17,

In sUlDlllary , the EIR identifies the major potential effects of
development under the paseo Las Placitas Specific Plan for the
Mount Vernon Avenue corridor as:
* possible problems with buildinq structural stability due to
seisaic conditions
* possible problems with buildinq footinqs due to soil
conditions
* potential increase in noise levels upon adjacent residential
areas
* a cbanqe in land use from the General Plan desiqnation
* the reaoval of ezistinq bousinq
* the qaneration of demand for ne. parkinq lots and/or
structures
· possible impact on ezistinq public transportation syst...
* the alteration of present patterns of circulation
* possible impact on rail traffic
* possible alteration or destruction of arcbeoloqical sites.

SUMMARY OF THE SPECIFIC PLAN
The Specific Plan, Paseo Las Placitas,is designed to implement the
General Plan direction for the Mount Vernon Corridor. It includes
property frontinq on the east and west sides of Mount Vernon
between 4th Street and 9th Street and extends east to Garner Avenue
on 5th Street. The Specific Plan includes market factors and
describes Trade Areas for Paseo Las Placitas. It describes the
settinq and makes recommendations for urban design, land use,
circulation, and parkinq. Design quidelines are included which are
intended to create a unique environment. The proposal is to
establish a Spanish Revival Architecture Style by the use of
arches, columns, colonnades, trellises, courtyards, balconies,
towers, and exterior stairways and seatinq. The implementation
section of the specific plan includes a public/private partnership
which explains participation by the City and by private property
owners.
The Specific Plan is a policy document which expands the General
Plan pOlicies reqardinq Mount Vernon Avenue. Development Code
Amendments will implement the Specific Plan.
ADOPTION OF THE GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT
Durinq the development of the Specific Plan, it was determined that
an additional block should be included in the Specific Plan area.
That block is the block bounded on the North 9th Street, on the
South by 8th Street on the east by Garner Avenue and on the West
by Mt. Vernon Avenue. The reason for the inclusion was to expand
the area to accommodate a second parkinq structure, a second
mercado, and a second public park.
This is consistent with the followinq policies of the General Plan:
1.24.10
Permit a diversity of ethnic themed and
special ty uses includinq restaurants, food
sales, clothinq, qift shop, entertainment,
prOfessional services and similar uses in
areas alonq Mt. Vernon designated as
"Commercial General - SpeCialty" (CG-4).
Permit the development of open air or semi-
enclosed public markets.

Adoption of the Specific Plan requires a chanqe in desiqnation for
the area from CG-1 and CG-4 to CG-4-SP, Commercial General/Theme
Center-Specific Plan. Two parks are included within the boundaries
of the Specific Plan area. However, because they are existinq and
developed, their desiqnation will remaininq PP, Public Park. This
map chanqe, and a chanqe to include reference to the Specific Plan
are necessary so that the Specific Plan is consistent with the
General Plan.
SUMMARY OF THE GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS
Pursuant to Development Code Section 19.10.010(2) (E), the General
Plan map will be amended from CG-1, Commercial General, and CG-4,
Commercial General/Theme Center-Specific Plan. The paseo Las
Placitas Specific Plan will be referenced on the map so that anyone
viewinq the map is aware that Mount Vernon Corridor development is
quided by the Specific Plan.
The second amendment to the General Plan is to the text. The
amendment will add policy 1.24.16 to read:
1.24.16 Permit the development of residential apartments and
condominiums on the second floor only, above retail uses, in
the Mount Vernon Corridor.
This amendment is necessary to maintain consistency between the
General Plan and the Specific Plan.
SUMMARY OF THE DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT
Because the Specific Plan is a policy document, it is necessary to
incorporate requlatory lanquaqe into the Development Code.
Pursuant to Chapter 19.10, Special Purpose Districts, the SP,
Specific Plan, desiqnation is established to incorporate standards
for areas encompassed by Specific Plans.

Findings of Fact - General Plan Amendment No. 92-03, Text
1. The proposed amendment is internally consistent with the
General Plan in that the stated objective for the Mount Vernon
Corridor is to achieve upgrading and enhancement, and the
provision of residential apartments and condominiums on the
2nd floor above retail uses will ensure security which will
aid the upgrading and enhancement of the area.
2. The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public
interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City
in that allowing residential uses in the Mount Vernon Corridor
will permit people to be in the area 24 hours a day which will
increase security and benefit the area.
3. The proposed amendment would maintain the appropriate balance
of land uses within the City in that a mixed use of
retail/residential on limited acreage will not significantly
affect the balance of land use.

Findings of Fact, Specific Plan No. 91-01
(paseo Las Placitas)
A. The Specific Plan is consistent with the General Plan in that
the proposed diversity of ethnic-themed and specialty uses
including open-air and semi-enclosed public markets, community
serving facilities and cultural and social facilities are
consistent with General Plan policy for the Mount Vernon
Corridor; and with General Plan policy 1.24.35 which requires
formulation of this Specific Plan.
B. The Specific Plan will not be detrimental to the public
interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the City
in that the area is currently blighted and implementation of
the Specific Plan will significantly benefit the Mount Vernon
area and the City.
C. The subject property is physically suitable for the requested
land uses and anticipated development in that the land uses
and development were analyzed in the General Plan, the General
Plan EIR, and the EIR for the Specific Plan, all which have
determined the land uses and development desirable and
appropriate for the area.
D. The proposed plan shall ensure development of desirable
character which will be compatible with existing and proposed
development in the surrounding neighborhood in that
development standards limit the height for new construction,
there are mandatory buffers from adjacent residential uses,
and design quidelines which ensure quality development of the
Spanish Revival theme architecture.
E. The proposed plan will contribute to a balance of land uses
so that local residents may work and shop in the community in
which they live in that the current condition of the Mount
Vernon Corridor includes many vacant buildings and parcels
that the commercial development required by this plan will
provide places to work and shop.

3. .Parking should be screened from 'Streets through
combined use of berming and/or low walls and
landscape.
4. Vehicular access to building service areas and off-
street parking lots should be located to minimize
curb cuts over sidewalks and onto any street.
W. Noise Abatement - The impact from siqnificant noise
sources should be mitigated thro'lgh noise abatement
techniques which include the following:
1. Solid masonry enclosure-minimum 6 feet high around
noise emitting ~ource.
2. Solid masonry or concrete walls at interface of
noise sources.
3. Ground mounted air-conditioning or other equipment
which should be located away from entries, windows
or adjoining property lines.
4. Roof mounted air-conditioning equipment which
should be mounted on isolators to reduce vibration.
x. Siqns
1. Siqn materials should complement the building with
materials, colors and textures which reflect those
of the overall Specific Plan area.
2. Siqns should utilize lettering styles reminiscent
of the Spanish Revival Style rather than that of
contemporary siqnage.
3. The use of tile wall signs and wood siqns is
preferred for individual tenant identification.
4. Siqn colors should not be overpowering but should
be an accent to the building on which it is
mounted.
5 ~ Siqris generally may not be painted on exterior
walls. However, extremely well-desiqned, painted
sigDs which offer a special accent, may be approved
by the Review Authority.
Graphic examples and illustrations of these desiqn guidelines are
