2.0 project description - County of Santa Barbara
2.0 Project Description 2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1 PROJECT LOCATION The project is located in the unincorporated community of Isla Vista, which is located in Santa Barbara County approximately nine miles west of the City of Santa Barbara (Figure 2.1-1). Isla Vista is situated on a coastal bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean and is surrounded on three sides by the campus of UCSB. The predominately urban community is ½ square mile in size, or 320 acres, and is comprised of multi-residential housing, a small commercial downtown, a neighborhood of single family homes, and numerous public parks. The Isla Vista Planning Area, hereafter referred to as the “project area”, extends from Camino Majorca Road and the Camino Corto Vernal Pool Preserve on the west, El Colegio Road on the north, the UCSB main campus on east, and the Pacific Ocean on the south. The project area overlaps with the Redevelopment Project Area boundary, which extends north approximately ½ mile at the western end of the project area to include the UCSB-owned Francisco Torres dormitories and the privately-owned Storke Ranch residential development, as shown in Figure 2.1.2. The analysis in this EIR is on the area covered by the Draft IVMP. 2.2 PROJECT OBJECTIVES The Draft IVMP accomplishes two underlying purposes. First, it identifies general goals, policies, and development standards for Isla Vista that update the existing Countywide Comprehensive Plan, the Goleta Community Plan, and the Coastal Land Use Plan, and complements Isla Vista Redevelopment Plan. Second, the Draft IVMP identifies specific catalyst redevelopment projects. These catalyst projects are designed to eliminate blight and to address specific improvements to the commercial core, housing, transportation, parking, and infrastructure. Redevelopment is an essential tool that will be used to implement these catalyst projects. Through a three year collaborative process involving the County, the County Redevelopment Agency, UCSB, IVRPD, local organizations, and the community at large, the Draft IVMP was developed to eliminate blight through the following objectives: •Improve public infrastructure to address problems such as pedestrian, automobile, and bicycle circulation, parking deficiencies, and inadequate drainage. •Reduce automobile dependency by managing parking, improving public transportation, expanding transportation alternatives, and providing more services and amenities within the community. •Revitalize the downtown by creating incentives for new mixed use development, improving the streetscape and parking, and improving connections to Anisq’Oyo’ Park and the ocean. •Develop and improve the housing stock for people all income levels. Isla Vista Master Plan Final EIR 2-1 2.0 Project Description 1. Create a physically, socially and economically sustainable plan for Isla Vista. 2. Improve the quality of life and sense of community for all Isla Vista residents by enhancing the character and quality of the built environment, promoting a more diverse population, and providing more amenities for residents. 3. Preserve and enhance Isla Vista’s distinctive character and establish a greater sense of community among Isla Vista’s diverse residents by providing venues for social interactions. 4. Design a community based on a mixed-use, sustainable urban village model, where dependence on the automobile is reduced, people can live close to where they work and shop, pedestrian and bicycle traffic is encouraged, and public mass transit is easily accessible and convenient to use. • Automobile traffic and parking should not be allowed to dominate the streets of Isla Vista, detracting from the appearance of the community and making it unpleasant to walk or ride a bicycle. • Streets and other public spaces should be designed and managed to encourage neighbors to meet one another and socialize in public. 5. Develop an efficient parking strategy that minimizes visual impact on the community. 6. Create aesthetically attractive housing to meet the needs of its residents while efficiently using the limited amount of land. • A variety of housing types should be provided that appeal to a range of household sizes, and income levels. 7. Develop a balanced, robust and economically viable commercial core, complete with a variety of uses, services and public open spaces that allow people to gather and socialize in the center of the community. These services should include day-to-day amenities that can raise the general quality of life and decrease automobile dependency. 8. Blur the interface between Isla Vista and UCSB by enhancing the connections through building improvements and the provision and maintenance of public space. • Connections between Isla Vista and UCSB should include commercial and civic activities that appeal to both UCSB students and the larger community, fostering social contact in a civil public setting. 9. Preserve and enhance existing natural resources, such as the beach, wetlands, coastal sage scrub, trees, native species and riparian habitat. 10. Improve existing parks and recreation resources, and expand recreational opportunities and beach access. Isla Vista Master Plan Admin Draft EIR 2.0 Project Description Figure 2.1-1: Regional Location Map Isla Vista Master Plan Final EIR 2-3 2.0 Project Description Figure 2.1-2: Project Area •Enhance downtown parks by improving connections to the downtown commercial area, acquiring additional land, reconfiguring uses, and maintaining natural park areas. •Improve connectivity between UCSB main campus and the Isla Vista community through improvements to buildings and public spaces. •Improve the quality and design of new and existing housing stock while efficiently using the limited land in Isla Vista. •Encourage incremental growth through production of new housing units and housing types that meets a range of household sizes and income levels. •Construct a new community center at Estero Park. •Preserve and enhance the community’s natural resources and parks and expand recreational opportunities and beach access. Isla Vista Master Plan Final EIR 2-4 2.0 Project Description •Preserve Isla Vista’s distinctive character and create a greater sense of community. 2.3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Draft IVMP includes a mix of residential, commercial, and recreation land uses development to provide a balance of employment, shopping, housing, and recreational opportunities designed to improve the quality of life for all members in the community. The plan includes public infrastructure improvement, private development, land use and zoning changes, ordinance amendments, along with goals, and policies to stimulate revitalization in the community. The Draft IVMP is organized into six chapters: • • • • • • Transit and Circulation Open Space and Parks Downtown Isla Vista Estero Neighborhood Housing Isla Vista / UCSB Interface Within each chapter, specific goals, policies, development standards, and actions are identified to implement County and RDA programs and projects to guide future private development. Catalyst projects are planned for near-term implementation to help stimulate changes in the community, promote public-private partnerships and encourage re-investment in local properties. Each Catalyst project section includes a project description, which provides additional project details regarding the Catalyst projects. 2.3.1 Transit and Circulation Transit and Circulation is divided into two sections: streets, which addresses physical infrastructure improvements; and Parking and Transit, which outlines programs and projects to address parking and transportation needs. Streets. The Draft IVMP outlines a strategy to enhance the Isla Vista street network to move people safely and effectively, improve its appearance, and reduce automobile traffic. The Draft IVMP describes improvements to the circulation system such as intersection roundabouts and rotaries, a bike boulevard, additional sidewalks and traffic calming devices, street tree planting, and narrower street widths. Specific street catalyst projects identified in the Draft IVMP include: • Pardall Road improvements; • Roundabouts at Embarcadero Del Mar, Embarcadero Del Norte and Pardall Road; • Pardall Road Paseo to Anisq’Oyo’ Park; • Embarcadero Loop street improvements; • El Embarcadero Street improvements; Isla Vista Master Plan Final EIR 2-5 2.0 Project Description • Traffic calming on western streets, including speed tables and small rotaries; • Camino Pescadero Road improvements; • Sabado Tarde Road improvements; • Camino Del Sur Road improvements; • Sueno Road bicycle boulevard; and • Del Playa Drive improvements. The Draft IVMP would amend and update the County’s Circulation Element by: • Identifying new capacity standards and roadway designations for streets with roundabouts; • Amending acceptable level of service (LOS) for streets in the project area; and • Updating Circulation sections of the GCP. The proposed project includes changes to the Goleta Community Plan and the County Circulation Element. Those changes are intented to: • Facilitate urban in-fill development in the community of Isla Vista, • Improve the regional jobs/housing balance, provide needed affordable housing opportunities, • Stimulate economic activity in downtown Isla Vista through redevelopment efforts which will result in increased availability of basic commercial services in downtown isla vista, thereby reducing the need to area residents to drive for basic commercial needs. The specific changes are outlined below. Goleta Community Plan “Objective CIRC-GV-1: The Circulation Element and implementing Transportation Improvement Program shall include long-term improvements to roadways and alternative transportation facilities targeted to provide for Level of Service (LOS) C or better on roadways and intersections within the community at buildout of this Plan, excluding the Isla Vista Master Plan Area and the Los Carneros/Mesa Road intersection. However, over the next ten years a number of roadway segments and intersections will periodically operate at LOS D or below. The roadway and intersection standards shall allow moderate levels of traffic growth while protecting overall operation of the circulation system and the quality of life within the community. Due to the Isla Vista area’s urban infill nature, and the wide variety of alternative transportation options available, within the Vista Master Plan Area and the Los Carneros/Mesa Road intersection, the Circulation Element and implementing Transportation Improvement Program may include long-term improvements to roadways and alternative transportation facilities targeted to provide for LOS D or better on roadways and intersections. Prior to implementing all planned traffic improvements, roadway segments and Isla Vista Master Plan Final EIR 2-6 2.0 Project Description intersections in the Isla Vista Master Plan Area and the Los Carneros/Mesa Road Intersection may operate at LOS F for periods of time during peak hour.” In addition, the following change to both Appendix A of the GCP and the Roadway and Intersection Standards for Determination of Project Consistency section of the County Circulation Element are components of the proposed project. “IV. ROADWAY AND INTERSECTION STANDARDS FOR DETERMINATION OF PROJECT CONSISTENCY Roadway and Intersection Standards for Determination of Project Consistency A. Purpose: This section defines how the acceptable capacity levels that are identified for the classified roadways will be applied in making findings of project consistency, with this Community Plan. This section also defines intersection standards in terms of level of service and provides methodology for determining project consistency with these standards. The intent of this section is to ensure that roadways and intersections in the community plan study area continue to operate at acceptable levels and to ensure that the intent of Circulation Policies is reflected in the determination of project consistency. The standards prescribed in this section shall also serve as a basis for circulation capital improvement planning and funding. E. Exemptions— Roadway and Intersection standards stated above shall not apply to: … g) Projects within the Isla Vista Master Plan Area. The Isla Vista community is located adjacent to the region’s largest employer and is primarily a developed urban area. In addition, it is the intent of the Master Plan to encourage the development of basic commercial services within Isla Vista to minimize the necessity of trips outside the area.” Parking and Transit. The Draft IVMP emphasizes reducing automobile dependency in Isla Vista through: managing the quantity and location of parking in both residential and commercial areas, providing convenient and affordable public transit services, developing a “car-sharing” program, and improving the pedestrian and bicyclist environment. On-site parking standards for the downtown are proposed to be modified to encourage the construction of small units. Parking standards in residential areas are proposed to be adjusted to more accurately account for actual parking demand. A downtown parking structure is identified as a priority project for two reasons. First, the structure is expected to provide parking for downtown businesses. Second, the structure will facilitate the creation of a program whereby new development will pay a fee to use spaces in such a lot in lieu of providing on-site parking. Due to the high cost of construction, the structure would be constructed after the establishment of other parking programs and projects such as a downtown surface parking lot, reconfiguration of private parking lots, potential elimination of some unnecessary red curbs, and after the assessment of the downtown parking meters. A downtown parking meter and parking permit program was approved by the BOS in June 2004, but is on appeal with the California Coastal Commission. Isla Vista Master Plan Final EIR 2-7 2.0 Project Description Parking and Transit catalyst projects identified in the Draft IVMP include: • Car-sharing program; • Simplified transit routes on El Colegio Road, Camino Corto to Embarcadero Del Norte via Abrego Road, Camino Del Sur, Camino Pescadero, Sabado Tarde Road, Segovia Road, and Ocean Road; • Frequent transit service on Sabado Tarde Road and El Colegio Road, (a minimum of 15 minute frequency all day), with connections to Camino Real Marketplace, UCSB, SBCC, and downtown Santa Barbara; • Evening transit service connecting to Camino Real Marketplace, UCSB, and downtown Santa Barbara until at least 11 PM most nights and 2 AM Friday and Saturday; • Consideration of reduced fee transit passes to all Isla Vista residents, much like the City of Boulder’s neighborhood-wide EcoPass; and • Improved transit marketing, including clear branding of frequent and express transit service. • A parking fee program is proposed for the downtown to allow development to pay a fee "in-lieu" of providing parking on-site. 2.3.2 Open Space and Parks The Draft IVMP proposes a redesign and reconfiguration of parks, including Anisq’Oyo’ Park and Estero Park to better serve the community. Overall, the Draft IVMP recognizes the need for additional active recreation in the community and improved links between parks, the downtown, and the ocean. Several improvements are proposed for downtown Anisq’Oyo’ Park that will define the park as a formal gathering place, provide better access and increase recreational opportunities. Specific changes include: • Improve connection to the downtown; • Enhance existing park natural areas; • Relocate amphitheater; • Construct a new multi-use path; and • Improve landscaping. Other open space and parks catalyst projects: • Perfect and People’s Park enhancements; • Long term acquisitions of property within the Embarcadero Loop; and • Estero neighborhood park redesign Isla Vista Master Plan Final EIR 2-8 2.0 Project Description The Draft IVMP identifies amendments to the County’s Parks, Recreation and Trails (PRT) Map to: • Officially designate existing recreational trails in the area; and • Identify potential new trails to increase connectivity between trail segments and new trails to facilitate beach access. 2.3.3 Downtown Isla Vista The Draft IVMP focuses on revitalization of the downtown, which serves as the heart of the community. The revitalization will occur in phases to create a vibrant mixed use downtown comprised of complementary local businesses that meet the basic commercial needs of Isla Vista, combined with the provision of high-quality housing. Streetscape improvements include landscaping, public plazas and art displays, additional bicycle parking, new sidewalks and sidewalk amenities to emphasize the pedestrian environment of downtown. New mixed use development is encouraged through zoning changes and the formation of public and private partnerships. Working with the County RDA and HCD programs to increase the success of existing businesses would include offering a façade improvement program, low-interest loan programs, and encouraging the expansion of the business association or creative marketing cooperative. Related park improvements to strengthen the downtown’s connection to the ocean and Pardall Road are also proposed. Downtown catalyst projects: • Pardall Road streetscape improvements; • Rotaries/roundabouts at the Pardall Road/Embarcadero Del Mar and Embarcadero Del Norte intersections; • New mixed use development – commercial ground floor with second and/or third story residential; • Embarcadero Loop streetscape improvements; • Façade improvement program; and • Parking management: program implementation, surface lot management, and structures. • Outdoor dinning public right of way lease program Complete build-out of the Draft IVMP would result in up to 51,485 square feet (sf) of commercial space and 382 residential units in the downtown. The following policy, along with all policies identified in the Draft IVMP, is included in this project description and analyized in this document. In the downtown Mixed Use Zone District and in the interior of the Embarcadero Loop, The 100-foot Anisq’Oyo Park wetland buffer zone may be adjusted for development on existing developmed lots when all of the following criteria are met: Isla Vista Master Plan Final EIR 2-9 2.0 Project Description • • • 2.3.4 The new structure does not encroach further into the buffer zone than an existing legal or legal nonconforming structure that it is replacing. The new structure is designed to minimize wetland impacts to the maximum extent feasible. If proposed development nonetheless significantly impacts the wetland or buffer area, mitigation measures to enhance the wetland or buffer shall be required. Estero Neighborhood This neighborhood in the western part of the Plan Area includes Estero Park, the Isla Vista Teen Center, and the Isla Vista Youth Projects (IVYP) daycare center. Proposed plans for this neighborhood include improving the park while constructing a community center that serves as a long-term home to IVYP, the Teen Center, and an elder care facility. The facility will also offer a home for inter-generational daycare services, neighborhood-scale commercial amenities within the community center, and multi-use rooms available for a variety of community events. Basketball courts, children’s play equipment, and picnic facilities would also be improved at Estero Park. Partnerships to establish nearby playfields and affordable housing in addition to exploring the feasibility of a skate board park at Estero Park are also proposed. Estero neighborhood catalyst projects: • Community center; • Housing on former IVYP site; • Soccer field; • Skate board park; • Community gardens expansion; and • Recreational amenities expansion. 2.3.5 Housing New Housing Catalyst Sites The Draft IVMP proposes to develop new housing to enhance new housing design and affordability and provide programs to improve the quality of existing housing. Potential affordable housing sites are identified in the Draft IVMP consistent with the County Housing Element. These potential sites are intended to encourage the production of a variety of housing types for residents of all income levels and for-sale units by focusing on community in-fill sites and mixed use downtown development and increasing densities on appropriate sites. The Housing Catalyst Sites are described in more detail in Section 2.3.8 and environmental impacts that are specific to them are set forth in Section 4.1.1. For a map of affordable housing sites in the project area see figure 2.3-5. These sites are: • El Colegio Road and Embarcadero Del Mar - APN 075-034-012 • El Colegio Road and Camino Pescadero Road - APN 075-020-035 Isla Vista Master Plan Final EIR 2-10 2.0 Project Description • Camino Pescadero Road and Cervantes Road - APN 075-032-008 • El Colegio Road and Stadium Road - APN 075-041-012 • Inner-block lot at Picasso and Camino Pescadero Roads (potential public parking) - APN 075-020-007 • Partnership to create affordable housing project and playfields at Camino Del Sur Road and Sueno Road (former IVYP site) - APN 075-101-022 • Pardall Gardens – Mixed use, affordable housing - APN 075-121-008 • Cervantes Road and Embarcadero Del Norte - APN 075-042-001 • Segovia and Embarcadero Del Mar - APN 075-064-001 • Union 76 vacant lot - APN 075-111-014 (C-2) and 075-111-006 (SRH) Land Use / Zoning Changes. The Draft IVMP includes specific changes to zoning and land use that would impact private residential development potential in Isla Vista. Generally, development potential on most property will increase as a result of the proposed changes in land use and zoning. Included in the proposal is the establishment of two new zoning districts to accommodate the new form-based regulating code and associated land uses: Mixed Use Downtown and Isla Vista Residential. A “form-based” regulating code that clearly describes the shape and form of new development, as well as housing types, described in Table 2.3-1(a) is proposed to replace the existing zoning ordinance. New “density unit equivalents” are proposed to eliminate existing incentives that encourage builders to develop fewer large-units, rather than more smaller-units on a site. Under existing zoning regulations, density is calculated in “dwelling units per gross acre,” regardless of the size or character of the “dwelling unit.” In other words, 20 one-bedroom units are equivalent to 20 three-bedroom units. Table 2.3-1 Differences between Conventional Zoning and Form-Based Zoning Unit Size Density Equivalent Studio 0.50 One bedroom 0.66 Two bedroom 1.0 Three or more bedroom 1.5 Four or more bedroom 2.0 Five or more bedroom 2.5 Table 2.3-1(a) Differences between Conventional Zoning and Form-Based Zoning Rule Structure Distance from Street Conventional Zoning Setback Line establishes minimum structure distance from the street. Effect: Building can be setback far from the street. Isla Vista Master Plan Final EIR Form-Based Build To Line determines how close to the street structure must be built. Effect: Uniform street-front created by buildings, more enclosed public space - 2-11 2.0 Project Description Parking Location Building Form Outside Front, Side and Rear Setback Areas Effect: Parking location largely undefined. Not Specified Effect: Creates potentially incompatible building designs pedestrian friendly effect. Located Behind Structures Effect: Minimizes visual impacts. Specified: Shop front, courtyard, linear courtyard, and large home styles. Effect: Increased building articulation. Certainty for developers during permit process New Residential Build-out. The land use/zoning designation changes proposed in the Draft IVMP could increase potential residential build-out from approximately 646 new units under current zoning to a maximum of 1,447 new units. This development could potentially result in a population increase of 4,355 people.1 This number is slightly higher than the numbers shown in the Draft IVMP on page 4-55, which shows a proposed build-out of 1,297 units. The increase in the build-out number is primarily due to the IV PAC/GPAC recommendation to increase the densities on the affordable housing sites as documented in the Board Initiation Staff Report, dated July 2005. This build-out number will fulfill part of the new housing allocation assigned to South Coast Housing Market Area (HMA) currently being finalized by the County Housing Element update. For purposes of the EIR, maximum potential build-out will be analyzed and build-out of private and public improvements is expected to occur over a 25-year period. Build-out was determined by analyzing the number of new units that could be built on vacant land and the maximum number of new units that could be added to existing development on under-developed properties, based on the new land use densities. Table 2.3-2 Build Out Under Current and Proposed Zoning Scenario Build-out under current zoning Build-out under proposed zoning Maximum Physical Capacity 646 1,447 Maximum build-out figures for both current and proposed zoning identify more units than will likely be built, considering lot sizes and shapes and current building patterns. Taking existing development patterns and site constraints into consideration, the probable build-out would likely be 695 units. A large portion of the new units would be developed in the downtown commercial area, currently zoned Retail Commercial (C-2), which would be re-zoned Mixed Use. A majority of the community, currently zoned Student Residential Medium and Student Residential High (SRM-18 and SRH-20), would be rezoned to Isla Vista Residential with densities ranging from 25 – 30 units per acre. No zoning changes are proposed for the Single Family Residential (10-R- 1 Assumes average household size of 3.01 persons/unit (2000 Census – Isla Vista CDP). Isla Vista Master Plan Final EIR 2-12 2.0 Project Description 1) Zone District in the southwest corner of Isla Vista or the Student Residential – Medium Density (SR-M-8) Zone District on the coastal bluff top, south of Del Playa Road. Individual development projects in Isla Vista will continue to be subject to the inclusionary housing policies set forth in CLUP 5-10 and to all applicable provisions of the Housing Element and Housing Element Implementation Guideline. Although the IVMP contemplates possible future changes to the inclusionary housing policy in Isla Vista, those changes are not part of the proposed project. 2.3.6 Isla Vista/ UCSB Interface The Draft IVMP proposes to improve the orientation of future development in the vicinity of the IV/UCSB interface, recommends enhancement of the adjacent on-campus street landscape and hardscape, and establish circulation connections between the University and Isla Vista along El Colegio Road, Pardall and Ocean Roads. While the County and the Redevelopment Agency have no regulatory land use authority over UCSB-owned property, the Draft IVMP identifies the community’s vision for this area, which will help facilitate UCSB’s on-campus planning process and assist the County as it comments on future University projects. Specific projects recommended in the Draft IVMP include improvements to the Pardall Road bike/pedestrian tunnel, enhancements to Ocean Road, and development of faculty and staff housing on Ocean Road. As a joint sponsor of this planning effort, UCSB has conceptually supported the goals and projects identified in the Draft IVMP. Isla Vista / UCSB Interface catalyst projects: • Extension of bicycle, pedestrian, and public transit networks into UCSB; • Modified bike and pedestrian tunnel at Pardall Road and Ocean Road intersection; • Ocean Road faculty and staff housing; and • Community parking lot partnership. 2.3.7 Implementation Implementation of the IVMP will occur through direct action by the RDA, HCD, County Parks Dept., Public Works, and Planning and Development through coordination with IVRPD and UCSB on joint projects, and with the formation of public-private partnerships. Concurrent with IVMP adoption, the County will update the Comprehensive Plan, adopt the new form-based regulating code, and update the implementation plan for the RDA. Based on funding projections, the RDA will implement IVMP projects and programs until 2030; the year the Agency’s ability to engage in projects expires. Comprehensive Plan, Goleta Community Plan, and CLUP, Housing Element, Coastal Zoning Ordinance Updates A number of amendments and updates to the countywide Comprehensive Plan are identified in the proposed project. Those changes include: Isla Vista Master Plan Final EIR 2-13 2.0 Project Description • Two new zoning districts and land use designations to accommodate the new form-based regulating code and associated land uses: Mixed Use, Isla Vista Residential. • Update the County’s Circulation Element: o Identify new capacity standards and roadway designations for the streets with roundabouts; and o Amend acceptable LOS for streets in the project area. • Update the Comprehensive Plan PRT Map: o Officially designate existing recreational trails in the area; and o Identify potential new trials that increase connectivity between trail segments and new trails to facilitate beach access. • Update the CLUP to add a new policy 2-24 which states that development within the Isla Vista Master Plan Planning Area shall comply with the policies and standards identified in the Isla Vista Master Plan, and attached as an appendix to the LCP. Through a separate process, the County adopted an updated Housing Element in March 2003. The Housing Element included actions committing the county to consider implementing policies and programs intended to encourage the production of a variety of housing types for residents of all income levels as part of a Housing Element Action Phase which is currently ongoing. Proposed Housing Element policies and programs that are currently being studied focus on in-fill and mixed use development with increased densities as well as preservation of the existing housing stock. RDA staff and County planners worked together to ensure consistency between housing policies proposed in the Draft IVMP and the proposed Housing Element Action Phase policies. Redevelopment Plan Amendment The proposed project includes an amendment to the 1990 Redevelopment Plan for Isla Vista. If approved, the amendment results in changes to Sections 400, 501, 503 and 512 of the Redevelopment Plan. The purpose of the amendment is to: • Further clarify that the Agency can not use eminent domain to acquire land; • Allow the Agency the flexibility to acquire land from willing sellers for commercial, housing and mixed use projects; and • Permit the Agency the ability to assist in development or redevelopment projects for purposes and uses consistent with the objectives of the Plan. The California Community Redevelopment Law (CRL) states that the Project Area Committee (PAC) may, if it chooses, prepare a report and recommendations on the Plan (or amendment) for Isla Vista Master Plan Final EIR 2-14 2.0 Project Description submission to the Board of Supervisors. On November 30, 2005 the PAC reviewed the proposed amendment and prepared a report recommending the approval of the amendment. Changes to the Redevelopment Plan are set forth below. In addition, the entire Redevelopment Plan is included in the technical appendix. SECTION IV. (400) REDEVELOPMENT PLAN GOALS Implementation of this Plan is intended to achieve the following goals: “…To develop a balanced, robust and economically viable commercial core, complete with a variety of uses, services and public open spaces that allow people to gather and socialize in the center of the community.” SECTION V. (500) REDEVELOPMENT ACTIONS A. (501) General “…7. Assistance in the development or redevelopment of land and buildings by private enterprise or public agencies for commercial, residential, office and other purposes and uses consistent with the objectives of this Plan.” B. (502) Property Acquisition 1. (503) Acquisition of Real Property “The Agency may acquire real property by any means authorized by law, including by gift, grant, exchange, purchase, cooperative negotiations, lease or any other means authorized by law including excluding eminent domain. The Agency will acquire property only for open space, recreation or parking. The Agency shall not acquire real property on which an existing building is to be continued on its present site and in its present form and use without the consent of the owner, unless (1) such building requires structural alteration, improvement, modernization, or rehabilitation; or (2) the site or lot on which the building is situated requires modification in size, shape, or use; or (3) it is necessary to impose upon such property any tof the standard restrictions and controls of the Plan and the owner fails or refuses to participate in the Plan by executing a participation agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, or otherwise provided by law, no eminent domain proceeding to acquire property within the Project Area shall be commenced after ten (10) years following the date of adoption of the ordinance approving and adopting this Plan. Such time limitation may be extended only by amendment of this Plan.” “2. (512) Preparation of Sites Isla Vista Master Plan Final EIR 2-15 2.0 Project Description The Agency may develop as a park, open space, or parking site any real property owned or acquired by it in accordance with the goals and actions of this Plan. In connection with such development it may cause, provide, undertake or make provisions with other agencies for the installation, or construction of parking facilities, streets, utilities, parks, open space, playgrounds and other public improvements necessary for carrying out the Plan in the Project Area.” This amendment, along with CRL required reports, will be submitted to the BOS and RDA Board for consideration, either as part of the IVMP adoption package or a separate approval process. Project Phasing The IV PAC/GPAC has identified initial high-priority projects to begin implementation of the IVMP goals and policies. Due to State budget uncertainty, project prioritization at this stage in the process is preliminary. Further refinement of the financial assumptions and additional public review will be provided during Draft IVMP adoption hearings. Projects are prioritized in four phases. Factors used to determine where projects should be placed within the matrix hierarchy included: • Relative positive impact the project will have on the community • Cost of project • Increased tax increment of the project • Ease of implementation • Project’s relationship to other priority projects • Urgency of project The proposed implementation matrix reflects changes recommended by the IV PAC/GPAC for project phasing. Generally, transportation improvements, downtown improvement projects, and the community center were identified as first-phase projects. Early implementation projects should serve to increase the property tax base in the community, thereby creating additional funding for projects in later phases. All expenditures of redevelopment tax increment funds must also meet the requirements of California Redevelopment Law. Health and Safety Code Section 33445 prohibits tax increment expenditures on public improvements unless the expenditure will assist in the elimination of blight, will benefit the project area or the immediate neighborhood, and that no other reasonable means of financing the improvement are available. Redevelopment funds also can not be used for normal maintenance and operation costs.

To the extent that details regarding these projects are available at this time, the environmental impacts of these projects are assessed in this CEQA document (CEQA Guidelines §15180). No subsequent environmental review will be required for these catalyst projects unless a subsequent or supplemental EIR would be required under CEQA §21166 or CEQA Guidelines §15162. Isla Vista Master Plan Final EIR 2-21 2.0 Project Description Downtown Isla Vista Revitalization The downtown area generally consists of parcels that surround the Embarcadero Loop and the downtown parks, and parcels along the Pardall Road corridor starting at the UCSB main campus and ending just west of Embarcadero Del Mar. Boundaries of the downtown area are depicted in Figure 2.3-7. The downtown encompasses a total of 22 acres and includes all parcels currently zoned for commercial uses and parcels that would be rezoned from Residential to Mixed Use. Figure 2.3-4: Downtown area boundaries The overall plan for revitalizing the downtown consists of four components: 1. Parking management: program implementation, surface lot management, and structures, etc. 2. Likely new private mixed use buildings throughout the commercial district 3. Pardall Road and Embarcadero Loop streetscape improvements Business façade improvement program and low interest loans for property redevelopment These revitalization components are described in detail below. Isla Vista Master Plan Final EIR 2-22 2.0 Project Description 1. Mixed Use Developments. The Draft IVMP creates regulatory incentives to encourage the redevelopment and infill of lots in the downtown such as: o Increase in permitted residential densities; and o Elimination of regulations resulting in commercial-only development. Development will likely consist of two and three story mixed use buildings. Ground floors will consist of commercial-only uses and the second or third stories will consist of residential or commercial uses. Because the new form-based regulating code will require “build-to-lines”, building facades will be built up to the sidewalk edge. Ground level commercial development will be required to have a high degree of fenestration (windows and doorways) at ground level to facilitate interactions between the street and the new buildings. Parking lots will be located behind structures and will be screened from view. Street curb cuts should be minimized, especially along the Embarcadero Loop and Pardall Road to minimize automobile/pedestrian conflicts. Parking entrances will be located on secondary streets as feasible. Buildings along the southern side of Pardall Road between the Loop will have two frontages. One side will face Pardall Road and one will face toward Anisq’Oyo’ Park. Building height restrictions are proposed to allow 3-story developments that are less than 40 feet tall. As part of the Draft IVMP process, downtown design guidelines have been developed. These guidelines establish a ‘classic beach town’ design style for new downtown development. This style generally includes simply massed buildings, exposed roofing rafters, with porches and balconies that appear as architectural additions rather than integrated into the building itself. Downtown Build-out As proposed, total build-out of the downtown will result in approximately 382 additional residential units and 51,485 sf of new commercial space. Using existing downtown businesses as a baseline, it is anticipated that a majority of the new commercial uses will consist of restaurants and retail shops. Some office spaces are likely, but not expected to be prevalent in the downtown. Table 2.3-8 illustrates anticipated downtown area build-out. Table 2.3-4 Downtown Build-out Existing Proposed Additional Build-out TOTAL Commercial SF 186,000 sf 51,485 sf 237,485 sf Residential Units 45 382 427 Parking The Draft IVMP proposes new on-site parking requirements for downtown residential and commercial uses, as shown in Table 2.3-9. There are currently a total of 682 existing downtown Isla Vista Master Plan Final EIR 2-23 2.0 Project Description parking spaces. Approximately 130 of these spaces are located in the public right-of-way on the street. The remaining 552 spaces are located on privately owned properties. Table 2.3-5 Downtown On-Site Parking Requirements Commercial Existing Proposed Project 1 per 500 sf 1 per 500 sf Studio One Two Three Bedroom Bedroom Bedroom 1.2 per unit (1 covered + 1 visitor space per 5 units) 0.6 1.0 1.5 2.0 There is currently 186,000 sf of commercial development in downtown Isla Vista, much of which does not currently meet the existing parking requirements. Under the new parking requirements, a total of 600 additional off-street parking spaces would be required to accommodate the build-out of 51,485 sf of commercial space and 382 residential units. A total of 1,022 off-street parking spaces would be required to accommodate both the proposed new residential and commercial development as well as all the existing non-conforming developments. An in-lieu parking fee program for the downtown will be established that will allow developers to pay a fee to the County or RDA in-lieu of providing on-site parking. Funds collected by the County or RDA will be used to fund downtown parking and transit solutions, including a parking lot or structure to serve those properties that paid the in-lieu fee. As development on the south side of Pardall Road will face both the Pardall and Anisq’Oyo’ Park, there will be limited opportunities to offer parking on-site. As a result, it is expected that many of the 127 spaces required at build-out on these parcels would be located at a remote site. Therefore, applicants for redevelopment of properties along the south side of Pardall Road would pay in-lieu fees instead of providing on-site parking spaces. Parking access points to downtown businesses and residential units will be located on secondary streets where possible and be configured to minimize curb cuts. Parking will be consolidated in rear lots behind the building frontages. 2. Pardall Road and Embarcadero Loop Streetscape Improvements: These improvements are identified in the Draft IVMP to enhance the public spaces in the downtown. These improvements will help to visually establish the downtown, especially Pardall Road, as the community’s main street. Pardall Road serves as the main gateway to Isla Vista from the UCSB main campus. On a daily basis, thousands of bicyclists and pedestrians use the Pardall Road corridor as their main thoroughfare. The road extends from Ocean Road, along the western edge of the UCSB campus, terminating at Camino Pescadero Road. Streetscape improvements will be implemented throughout all three blocks of Pardall Road, with special emphasis on the segment between Embarcadero Del Mar and Embarcadero Del Norte. Improvements include: o Pedestrian paseo which will connect Anisq’Oyo’ Park to Pardall Road. The intent is to draw pedestrian activity from Pardall Road into the park, in addition to providing active Isla Vista Master Plan Final EIR 2-24 2.0 Project Description public space. The paseo provides commercial opportunities for downtown businesses and should include fountains, public art and landscaping. The paseo will have pedestrian-oriented design and lighting, directional signage and seating. o Traffic calming measures such as landscaped bump outs at key intersections and installation of rotaries at the intersections of Pardall Road and the Embarcadero Del Mar and Embarcadero Del Norte. Rotary centers may include public art, architectural features, or landscaping, in accordance with roadway line of sight requirements, to provide visual cues that designate Pardall Road as the community’s downtown. These large rotaries have been recommended to alleviate circulation conflicts caused by the large numbers of bicyclists traveling throughout the downtown. These rotaries require that automobiles and bicyclists yield to one another in the roundabout while providing a gateway into the downtown area. The rotaries at each intersection are intended to improve the safety of pedestrians, bicyclists and automobiles, to reduce intersection delays, and to enhance the visual character of the intersection. Installation of raised stone pavers or stamped concrete at crosswalks is an additional traffic calming measure that may be implemented. In addition, Pardall Road may be narrowed to allow the construction of widened sidewalks to enhance pedestrian travel. Closing the road to automobile traffic for special events could be facilitated by the placement of temporary bollards at the intersections. o Streetscape amenities are proposed in the Draft IVMP to enhance public spaces. Improvements consist of new landscaping and the installation of street trees, including native and non-native vegetation which are designed to provide shade and enhance the downtown’s look and appearance. The Draft IVMP includes a recommended street tree list for the downtown. The selected street tree for areas within the Embarcadero Loop is the Chinese Flame tree. Outside of the Loop, the Pistacia tree will be planted along Pardall Road. Each tree species has vibrantly colored flowers which bloom during the summer and early fall. Additional landscaping will be planted in the public right-of-way and at the time individual properties redevelop. Downtown streetscape improvements will also include the installation of a variety of streetscape amenities including benches, bus shelters, litter receptacles, plant containers, tree grates and guards, pedestrian oriented lighting fixtures, bicycle racks, bollards, kiosks and fountains. The purpose of these improvements is to create a visually cohesive downtown that encourages pedestrian usage. 3. Façade improvement program. The Draft IVMP includes policies that direct County HCD and RDA to implement incentive programs for private parties to construct façade improvements in the downtown. These incentives could take the form of low-cost loans to business and property owners. Façade improvement programs often take the form of reduced rate or zero interest loans for projects that enhance the views of a building from public spaces. Such programs have been effective in other redevelopment project areas, such as Paso Robles. 4. Parking management. The Draft IVMP proposes that the RDA work with private property owners to consolidate downtown private parking lots to create additional parking spaces. To Isla Vista Master Plan Final EIR 2-25 2.0 Project Description implement these changes the RDA could facilitate the connection of existing lots to allow more efficient parking layouts. Phasing Downtown revitalization is scheduled to occur over a period of 10-15 years. Built into the Draft IVMP are a series of prioritized improvements. First priority projects include intersection improvements to Pardall and the Embarcadero Loop, streetscape improvements along Pardall Road, the parking management program and improvements to Anisq’Oyo’ Park. Additional improvements to the downtown parks will follow, in addition to a building façade improvement program. It is anticipated that private redevelopment of individual building sites will be redeveloped at different rates. Downtown Park Improvements Anisq’Oyo’ Park, Perfect Park and People’s Park form a large urban park providing both active and passive recreational opportunities in downtown Isla Vista. Collectively these parks total almost 5 acres, which is almost one-quarter of the proposed downtown area acreage. Anisq’Oyo’ Park includes a playground, a man-made pond, and a small outdoor amphitheater on a man-made mound which serves as the location of many community events. While the pond is designated as an environmentally sensitive habitat area (ESHA), it requires extensive maintenance and an artificial water source, especially during summer months. Although Anisq’Oyo’ Park is located at the center of the downtown, it does not currently serve as the community’s focal point due to poor physical and visual connectivity to the downtown retail businesses surrounding the park. Perfect Park is connected to Anisq’Oyo’ Park and is located at the southern end of the Embarcadero Loop. Maintained trails wind through the south portion of the park, which features native vegetation. People’s Park provides a large lawn area directly northeast of Perfect Park. Several buildings, which include St. Athanasius Orthodox Church, a commercial building, the Isla Vista Medical Center, and UCSB-owned Embarcadero Hall, are located within the area of the park loop. The Draft IVMP proposes a series of specific improvements that will occur over a period of 1015 years as described below. The purpose of these improvements is to refocus the community’s attention on this downtown asset so the area serves as a focal point, adding to the overall revitalization of the downtown. Project Components. As part of the downtown revitalization project, a pedestrian paseo will be created in coordination with new mixed use retail development along Pardall Road. This effort will help connect the downtown to the park. To connect the paseo to usable areas of the Park, the amphitheater will be relocated to the southern portion of the park. Relocating the amphitheater away from Pardall Road corridor will allow for a connection between the Park and Pardall Road to be created and reduce large event noise impacts experienced by adjacent businesses in this area. Isla Vista Master Plan Final EIR 2-26 2.0 Project Description With the relocation of the amphitheater and the creation of the pedestrian paseo, uses throughout the Park will need to be reconfigured. This includes relocating the children’s play equipment and some of the other active recreation facilities located in the park. As part of the reconfiguration of the park, the interface between the park and the streetscape is proposed to change. The berms located at the western edge of Anisq’Oyo’ Park are proposed to be removed to improve physical and visual access into the Park. In addition, native and nonnative landscaping throughout the park, but particularly along the Embarcadero Loop, is proposed to be removed to further enhance visual access into the Park. The man-made pond, which was constructed in 1974, collects street runoff from the adjacent area. IVRPD adds water to the pond in the summer and fall to maintain water levels. A fence surrounds the pond and two foot bridges cross the pond. Physical changes and re-alignment to the urban pond are proposed. Potential restoration efforts include: (1) periodic removal of nonnative vegetation; (2) re-vegetation with native wetland species; (3) reduction of fertilizer input to pond; (4) improved filtration system of urban run-off prior to it entering the pond; and (5) reconfigure the pond to require less water in the summer and fall and accommodate additional transitional upland/wetland habitat. Over the long term, the private property located on the interior of the loop could be acquired and the businesses located on those properties could be relocated to sites on the exterior of the Embarcadero Loop. These would facilitate the creation of a contiguous downtown park. This project may be implemented in phases with initial construction activity expected to begin two to three years after IVMP adoption, with IRVPD sponsoring the project. Affordable Housing Sites A lack of housing, most notably affordable housing, is one of the most significant issues facing the Isla Vista community. Despite Isla Vista’s large proportion of multi-family housing, the demand for new housing remains high. There is also a strong desire to protect the community’s unique character. The Draft IVMP proposes to add housing to the downtown, incrementally add housing units in the surrounding underutilized residential neighborhoods, and provide incentives for property owners to improve existing properties. Specific to this process is the identification of affordable housing sites. The Draft IVMP proposes to classify a total of 10 properties as affordable housing sites (Figure 2.3-5). Sites were selected based on the absence of significant biological and physical constraints and proximity to community services such as public transportation, schools, and commercial amenities. These proposed affordable housing sites will be rezoned for Design Residential, 35 units per acre. Design Residential is intended to ensure comprehensively planned and well-designed single family and multiple residential developments. Isla Vista Master Plan Final EIR 2-27 2.0 Project Description Figure 2.3-5: Affordable Housing Sites All of the properties identified for affordable housing are presently zoned Student Residential High Density except for one parcel that is zoned Student Residential Medium Density. Proposed land use designations include 35 units per acre for all sites, except for sites 7 and 10. These two sites are located in the proposed downtown mixed use area. The proposed land use designation for these sites is 40 units per acre. Information about each property is listed in Table 2.3-6. Collectively, these 10 sites total 6.34 acres. Assuming the sites are built out at the proposed densities, they could generate approximately 241 new residential units. The percentage of affordable units associated with each potential project has not yet been determined. If these sites are proposed as affordable housing projects, and meet the State mandated affordability targets, they are eligible for a density bonus. Table 2.3-6 provides a brief analysis of the number of units the sites could provide.

Park History Prior to 1972, Perfect Park was the only developed park in Isla Vista (Ziegler-McPherson 1998). In June 1970, Perfect Park was associated with the social protests referenced in the comment. Since Anisq’oyo' Park was bought and developed after the events of the early 70s it does not have any significance in relation to those events or to any other significant historical events that we are aware of. In the early 1970’s, Perfect Park was generally an undeveloped open space that allowed large groups of people to congregate. Since that time Perfect Park has been graded to create rolling topography, landscaped with dense vegetation in places, and park improvements have been installed, including an approximately 50-space parking lot. Therefore, the historical context of Perfect Park has been compromised since the 1970s when demonstrations occurred. The proposed project for Perfect Park includes relocation of a public amphitheatre to this site. Isla Vista Master Plan Final EIR 2-29 2.0 Project Description The amphitheatre would be used for community assembly and events, recreating the site’s original association with the social protest demonstrations held in the 1970s. The existing Perfect Park Peace Monument would be relocated and integrated into the new amphitheater. Therefore the proposed improvements to Perfect Park will not result in an adverse effect to historic or cultural resources. Isla Vista Community Center The IVRPD is proposing to construct a new community center at the east end of Estero Park. The park is comprised of eight parcels owned by the IVRPD and is located at the eastern end of Estero Road between Camino Corto and Camino Del Sur Roads. Seven of the parcels are zoned Recreation (REC) and one parcel is zoned Professional/Institutional (PI). Surrounding land uses are multi- and single-family residential and recreation. Present park amenities include the Isla Vista Teen Center, 2.5 basketball courts, a playfield, a children’s play area, picnic tables and benches, a 9-hole Frisbee golf course, community gardens and oak woodland area. The eastern half of Estero Road is closed to thru traffic and is used for the basketball courts and parking. Currently, over 120 people use the park on a daily basis. Existing buildings in the park include the Isla Vista Teen Center, the Red Barn, which is used for park maintenance equipment storage, a greenhouse, and public restrooms. Figure 2.3-12 shows the existing layout of the park and surrounding uses. Figure 2.3-6 Estero Park Layout The proposed project includes the construction of 42,550 sf of building space, a soccer field, three basketball courts (2 full courts and 2 half courts), a skateboard park, accessory structures to Isla Vista Master Plan Final EIR 2-30 2.0 Project Description facilitate the passive recreational use of the property, and a complete re-landscaping of the property, e.g., picnic tables, interpretive signs, and drinking fountains. The project also includes the alteration of the existing bio-swale and construction of a new bio-swale to drain and treat storm water runoff. The Red Barn and greenhouse will be relocated to Sueno Orchard, which is located on the south side of Sueno Road just east of Camino Del Sur Road; the 9-hole Frisbee golf course would be removed. The community garden will also be relocated to Sueno Orchard. Figure 2.3-13 depicts the site plan for the proposed project and includes information for Sueno Orchard. Two new buildings will be constructed as part of the development. The Community Center will be a one-story building with a footprint of approximately 5,919 sf and a maximum building height of 35 feet. The Community Center will provide a venue for alternative social activities, such as group meetings, classes, conventions, social gatherings, and other traditional community center purposes. The Community Center will be open to the public from 6:00 AM to 12:00 AM on weekdays and from 9:00 AM to 12:00 AM on weekends. Events may occasionally be held during the daytime on weekdays. Facility capacity will be less than 100 people. The Intergenerational Center will be a two-story (35 feet tall) building with a footprint of approximately 24,838 sf. The second floor will be approximately 11,792 sf, for a total of approximately 36,630 sf of floor space. The Intergenerational Center will accommodate the Isla Vista Youth Projects Isla Vista Teen Center, ONEgeneration, and two rooms for general community use and rentals. The Isla Vista Youth Projects facility is currently located at 892 Camino Del Sur Road, across the street from Estero Park, but will relocate to the new community center after it is constructed. The existing facility currently serves 100 children on a daily basis and will increase daycare capacity to 120 children per day when relocation is complete. The Isla Vista Youth Project operates the Children's Center during the daytime throughout the work week and the Family Resource Center is open during the evenings. The Isla Vista Teen Center currently operates out of a portable building at Estero Park and serves an average of 35 teens per day. The Teen Center does not have plans to increase services when the new facilities are built. Programming is occasionally provided on weekends. ONEgeneration provides supervised adult day/health care and has current operations in Los Angeles, but not in the project area. They propose to serve 60 persons per day at Estero Park. ONEgeneration will operate programming from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM on weekdays. Evening activities such as staff meetings, caregiver education workshops, and caregiver support groups, would number approximately three per month with about 20-25 people attending. No services are provided on weekends. The basketball courts and soccer field will be open to the public during daylight hours. The soccer fields will not be lit for evening sports activities. Organized local sporting activities will occur on the soccer field. Although the sports facilities will not have lights for night use, low level lighting is proposed throughout the park for safety. The proposed skateboard park will operate from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM on weekdays and on holidays and weekends from 10:00 AM to sunset. The skate park use will require a membership and the use of safety equipment. All activities will be supervised. Isla Vista Master Plan Final EIR 2-31 2.0 Project Description Access to the community center and park will be from Camino Corto and Camino Del Sur Roads. The eastern part of Estero Road will be removed. Parking will be located along western Estero Road and two parking lots: one at the end of Estero Road (west plaza) and the other off Camino Del Sur Road (east plaza). A total of 114 parking spaces will be provided as part of the proposed project. Forty-four spaces will be provided along the western half of Estero Road, which would be restricted for community center use and residents living on Estero Road, subject to encroachment permit from County Public Works Department. Ten of the 44 spaces would be allocated to the adjacent residents on Estero Road. The west plaza parking lot will provide an additional 40 spaces for peak demand and overflow during community center events. These spaces would be used as half-court basketball courts when not in use during peak demand. The east plaza parking lot will provide 30 spaces for drop-off and short term parking. Additionally, the IVRPD intends to negotiate a reciprocal agreement with the Korean Methodist Church to allow for mutual use of parking spaces when needed. New paved sidewalks will be installed to allow for park circulation. Isla Vista Master Plan Final EIR 2-32 2.0 Project Description Figure 2.3-7 Proposed Site Plan for Isla Vista Community Center Construction of the proposed project will require demolition of the existing 3,417 sf Teen Center trailer and 150 sf restroom facilities. Approximately 10,000 cubic yards (cy) of grading (2,200 cy of cut and 7,800 cy of fill) will be needed in order to prepare the site for development and to direct runoff to bio-swales in the western and southern areas of Estero Park. The proposed project would result in the removal of 105 of the 279 trees found at Estero Park and Sueno Orchard. This includes 16 oaks, ranging from 1” to 18” in trunk diameter, 57 fruit trees in Sueno Orchard, and 32 miscellaneous non-native trees, as identified by a registered arborist. Water for the new and existing facilities at Estero Park will be supplied by the Goleta Water District and the Goleta West Sanitary District will provide sanitary services. Construction will require the relocation of a 2” gas line and 8” waterline. Sueno Bicycle Boulevard The Draft IVMP proposes implementation of a bicycle boulevard along Sueno Road. A bicycle boulevard, sometimes called a “bicycle priority street,” is a street where all types of Isla Vista Master Plan Final EIR 2-33 2.0 Project Description vehicles are allowed, but the roadway is modified as needed to enhance bicycle safety and convenience. Typically, these modifications will also calm traffic and improve pedestrian safety. The project will involve the use of special painting, signage and physical improvements such as roadway surface traffic calming at intersections and at key locations mid-block. Because this road is heavily traveled by bicyclists, the intent of these improvements is to signal the presence of bicyclists to motorists driving along the street. The Sueno Road bicycle boulevard is proposed to extend from the beginning of the 6600 block to the end of the 6700 block with the purpose of providing a major west-east bike travel corridor from Isla Vista neighborhoods to the UCSB Main Campus. Parking Lot/Structure The Draft IVMP proposes implementation and construction of at least one public parking lot in Isla Vista. Current concepts are being explored in the downtown area. At this time, the project location has not been identified, nor have all the project details been determined. Desired general location would be near the downtown to serve new mixed use development and downtown business patrons. It is anticipated that the site will be approximately ½ - 1 acre in size and will contain between 50-250 spaces. A surface parking lot would be landscaped to visually screen the lot from public viewing areas. If a parking structure is ultimately built, the structure could be three stories high, include below grade parking, and could potentially contain commercial or residential development consistent with allowed zoning on the ground level to better integrate into the existing neighborhoods. 2.3.9 Cumulative Project List Pursuant to CEQA Section 15130(1)(A), this EIR identifies those “past, present, and probable future projects” that, when considered together with the proposed project components, would considerably compound or increase the severity of existing cumulative environmental impacts.
