Lindenville Specific Plan

Lindenville

Lindenville is an area bordered by 101, 380, and El Camino. It provides a whopping 40% of the city's industrial inventory.

There's a new specific plan in the works for this area that is anticipated to be adopted in August 2023.

Currently, the area has no parks, few trees, and a lot of paved surfaces.

The Specific Plan proposes 3 options that are all a big change from that. Mixed-use, R&D Office, and a huge increase in housing are the noticeable differences.

Option 1

Option 2

Option 3

But this plan is by no means set in stone. Hear what Commissioner Michelle Evans had to say about the proposal.

"The history of small industrial and small businesses in Lindenville is to be respected and to the best way, to be preserved. I don't want us to present this to the public that we are coming in wholesale and making these changes for businesses that have been there for decades."

It will come back before Planning Commission in February 2023.

Bertolucci's Redevelopment

Downtown | .58 Acres | 99 Units

Oh boy oh boy, please bring back my Golden Boy (pizza). This proposal turns Bertolucci's into 99 units, 99 parking spaces, and activates the corner with a Golden Boy Pizza.

We last saw this project in August of this year, when we wrote about it here. Since then, a new General Plan & Zoning was adopted in November, changing the use designation on 1 of the 3 parcels from DTC to DRC. This removed the need for a GP or zoning map amendment. The new GP & Zoning also reduced parking needs and increased density, removing the need for a conditional use permit.

Now, they are requesting a Design Review, TDMP, Density Bonus, and CEQA consistency with downtown station area-specific EIR (2015).

Did you know? there is a new chapter for site and building design standards for multifamily and mixed-use. Linking it here.

They are using the state density bonus law which gets them 20% density bonus for 5% affordable. Add in the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance and that gets them to 15% (15 Units) at low or moderate income.

It was approved by the Commission.
