Recommendation:
That the City Council directs staff to initiate a general plan amendment removing the
Office Professional land use on Portola Avenue between Fred Waring Drive and De
Anza Way.
Discussion:
On January 13, 2005, a request for a change of zone from R-1 to Office Professional
and a precise plan of design for a 1,826 square foot office building was denied.
Based on the discussion, Office Professional was determined not to be compatible
with the existing neighborhood. This was the second office project that has been
denied in this area and staff is recommending that office professional be removed
from the General Plan land use designation. Staff was directed to prepare a report to
initiate the proceedings for a General Plan Amendment removing Office Professional
as a land use for properties on Portola Avenue between Fred Waring Drive and De
Anza Way.
