NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
Notice is hereby given that the City of Vallejo Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on the project described below:
APPLICATION NUMBERS:
GPA 05-0001, SPL 04-0001, PD 04-0078 and DA 05-0002
LOCATION:
Downtown Vallejo area (98-acres) generally bounded by Capitol Street to the north, Sonoma Boulevard, Sutter Street and Napa Street to the east, Curtola Parkway to the south, and Santa Clara Street and Mare Island Way to the west
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The City has completed the Draft Downtown Vallejo Specific Plan and Downtown Design Guidelines, which covers a 98-acre, 20-block area of Downtown Vallejo. The purpose of the Specific Plan is to implement a vision to promote revitalization and increased use of the area. The Draft Specific Plan proposes new land use regulations and standards for development to increase opportunities for mixed-use and housing, facilitate arts and entertainment and promote increased retail in the Downtown area. The Draft Design Guidelines recommend building and site design standards and streetscape concepts to improve pedestrian use, scale and safety.
The Draft Specific Plan incorporates a vision to redevelop seven (7) 'catalyst' sites, which include City/Redevelopment Agency-owned surface parking lots, with mixed use structures. Site development plans have been prepared and submitted for one of these sites, the Virginia Street site, a 1.05-acre parking lot located on Virginia Street between Marin and Sacramento Streets. The development plans propose construction of a 5-7-story building with 150 residential units, eight (8) live-work units and 11,500 square feet of ground floor commercial space.
Applications have been filed for consideration and action related to the Draft Specific Plan and the Virginia Street Mixed-Use development. The applications propose: a) an amendment to the Vallejo General Plan to change the land use designation of the 98-acre Downtown to "Downtown Mixed-Use;" b) adoption of a rezoning of the Plan area to Mixed-Use Planned Development (MUPD) District; c) approval of the Downtown Vallejo Specific Plan and Downtown Design Guidelines; d) Unit Plan approval for the Virginia Street Mixed-Use development project; and e) approval of a Development Agreement between the City of Vallejo and Triad Communities, LP.
Consistent with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a Final Environmental Impact Report/Response to Comments (FEIR) is been prepared to assess the potential environmental impacts of this project. This FEIR is being prepared in response to comments received on Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR), which was circulated for review during a 59-day public review period in May-July 2005. The FEIR includes a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) and will be available for review on Monday, August 22, 2005.

Triad Communities, LP, applicants of Virginia Street Mixed-Use Development
NEIGHBORING PROPERTY OWNERS, RESIDENTS, AND/OR TENANTS SHOULD CONTACT CITY STAFF BY TELEPHONE OR COME TO CITY HALL TO DETERMINE HOW THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL AFFECT THEM.

COPIES OF THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW AT THE PLANNING DIVISION ON MONDAY, AUGUST 22, 2005.
The Planning Commission public hearing on this project will be held on Wednesday, September 7, 2005, at 7:00p.m. in the Council Chambers, City Hall, 555 Santa Clara Street, Vallejo.
