Proposed Rezones
The City proposes the rezone of 57 parcels and to change the land use designation for 1 parcel. Maps and a list of the proposed rezones and changes to the land use designation are provided below. Most of the rezones represent minor changes; however, some parcels may change from a primarily commercial designation to a mixed use designation. The definitions of the zoning are also provided.
Proposed Design Review District
The City plans to create a new design review district along Florin Road. The Florin Road Corridor Design Review District would cover the area from Tamoshanter Way in the west to Franklin Boulevard in the east. New design guidelines will be adopted with the new district. All new development and any exterior remodels of existing buildings would require design review. The purpose of the new design review district is to promote quality design and development along Florin Road. A similar district will be established on the County side from Franklin Blvd. to Stockton Blvd. The draft guidelines and the district boundaries are provided below:
Proposed Policies
Staff recommends amending the South Area Community Plan chapter of the 2030 General Plan to include new policies for the Florin Road area. These include new policies to support bus rapid transit on Florin, establish the Florin light rail station area as a transit village district, promote mixed use development, improved design and urban form, and improvements to the public right-of-way to encourage pedestrian activity.
Additional Studies
Additional studies for the Florin Road Corridor which were prepared as background for the planning effort will be posted here as they are completed. Studies include: Florin Road market study; infrastructure analysis; mobility study; updated streetscape master plan; safety and security plan; financing strategy; and Florin Road Development Guide.
