CAO RECOMMENDATION Grant final passage to Ordinance No. 1130 to amend the zoning map to add the "S" designation to the north Monterey Street tourist commercial area, adopt the proposed design criteria, and relocate the boundary between the C-T zone and the C/OS-5 zone as shown on Exhibit "A". BACKGROUND Discussion On February 7, 1989, the council introduced to print .Ordinance No. 1130 to add the "S" designation, establish design criteria for the area and relocate the zone boundary between the C/OS-5 zone and the C-T-S zoning for the north Monterey Street tourist commercial area. The amended C/OS-5 boundary and design criteria are intended to afford greater protection for the creek and to help mitigate potential nuisance impacts on the adjacent residential neighborhood which could result from increased commercial development on the north side of the creek. SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS The council has concurred with the director's finding of no significant environmental impact. Fiscal impacts are expected to be minimal. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT TAKING ACTION If the Council does not grant final passage to Ordinance No. 1130, the concerns of the residents of San Luis Drive would continue to be addressed through the architectural review and environmental review processes and would be exclusive of specific design guidelines for new development. RECOMMENDATION Grant final passage to Ordinance No. 1130 to amend the zoning map to add the "S" designation to the north Monterey Street tourist commercial area, adopt the proposed design criteria, and relocate the boundary between the C-T zone and the C/OS-5 zone as shown on Exhibit "A".
