Statement of Issue, Recommendation, Analysis, Funding Source, Alternative Actions:
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
On September 18, 1978, the City Council endorsed the use of the
Old Civic Center Site for use as.a site for senior citizen housing
and a new senior citizens recreation center and authorized planning
staff to request developers' proposals for these projects. The
construction of these facilities will require a General Plan Amend-
menf from the site's current designation of "Planning Reserve."
RECOMMENDATION•
Direct the Planning Commission and Planning staff to initiate a
General Plan Amendment for the Old Civic Center Site from
"Planning Reserve" .to "Mixed Development" and to incorporate
the processing of this amendment with*General Plan Amendment 79-1.
ANALYSIS:
The current.General Plan designation of "Planning Reserve" will not
legally permit the implementation of the senior citizens housing
and recreation center on the Old Civic Center Site. The "Mixed
Development" is recommended because the project encompasses housing,
recreation facilities, the branch library,,and may (as recommended
by the Redevelopment Commission) incorporate limited on -site service
commercial.
Processing the required General Plan Amendmen-I.with GPA 79-1, will
permit adoption of the amendment by the City Council at approximately
the same time that the Council will be.requested to select a
developer for the project. Upon such selection, the staff and
developer may proceed immediately with the specific plan amendment
to the zoning ordinance that will also be necessary to permit

this development. Thus,.initiation of a General Plan Amendment
at this time will not only provide the legally required land use
designation change to occur in an orderly manner, but will also
expedite the implementation of the senior housing and recreation
center projects.
ALTERNATIVE•
No project; without a General Plan Amendment, the project cannot
be implemented.
FUNDING SOURCE:

Community Development Program.
