Box 711 (City Hall, 400 Grand Avenue) South San Francisco, CA File #:23-480 Agenda Date:6/7/2023 Version:1 Item #:2. Report regarding the Lindenville Specific Plan (Billy Gross, Principal Planner) RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee receive an updated presentation on the Draft Lindenville Specific Plan and provide input. BACKGROUND In October 2022,the City adopted a comprehensive update of the General Plan,Zoning Code and Climate Action Plan,providing an updated vision for the city.The new General Plan identifies the Lindenville sub-area as an important opportunity to add housing adjacent to the downtown transit-rich core,to support a creative arts and maker community,and to continue the city’s industrial heritage.To ensure that new development proceeds in an organized and well-planned manner and includes new housing opportunities,the City Council authorized the preparation of a Lindenville Specific Plan and associated environmental analysis. While the General Plan is a required document for each city in California,a specific plan is an optional planning and zoning tool that implements the goals and policies of the General Plan in a particular geographic area.It takes the community’s vision developed during the General Plan process and defines the detailed policies,City programs,and development standards to implement that vision for the area.Typically,the plan addresses areas of change that need special attention and integrated/holistic planning. City staff and the Raimi +Associates consultant team came before the BPAC in February 2023 and presented an overview of the Lindenville Specific Plan process,including information on the land use alternatives that were being analyzed.The City Council subsequently chose a preferred alternative,and the consultant team is finishing work on the Public Draft Lindenville Specific Plan that would implement that preferred alternative. City staff and the consultant team will provide an overview of the following: ·Provide an update on the Lindenville Specific Plan ·Review Mobility goals and policies ·Discuss Specific Plan network changes ·Discuss ideas for how to implement the Mobility Chapter The project timeline includes the following key milestones: ·Public Draft Lindenville Specific Plan - End of June 2023 ·Public Engagement - July/August 2023 ·Final Lindenville Specific Plan - September 2023 Attachments 1.BPAC Presentation City of South San Francisco Printed on 6/2/2023Page 1 of 1 powered by Legistar™8 Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee June 7, 2023 9 Provide an update on the Lindenville Specific Plan Review Mobility goals and policies Discuss Specific Plan network changes Discuss ideas for how to implement the Mobility Chapter The Purpose of Today’s Meeting is… BPAC / 2 10 Lindenville Specific Plan FAQ BPAC / 3 11 What is a Specific Plan?
