Director reports City Council approved gateway overlay parking amendments and declined a school-overlay code change
Summary
At the Sept. 25 Planning Commission meeting, staff reported the City Council approved gateway-overlay parking code amendments, declined a proposed school-overlay amendment, approved the Spring Cove/Riverside Crossing Lot 8 site plan and Saratoga Springs Commercial Lot 607 amendment, and named a new park "River Walk at Saratoga Springs."
At the Sept. 25 meeting the planning director reported on recent City Council actions affecting planning and code.
Staff said the council on Sept. 16 approved parking-code amendments affecting how parking is handled when a property is in the gateway overlay and also fronts a freeway. The director told commissioners the council elected not to adopt a proposed school-overlay code amendment; staff had previously previewed that amendment to the commission.
The director also reported the council approved the Spring Cove (Riverside Crossing Lot 8) site plan and a major site plan amendment for Saratoga Springs Commercial Lot 607. In addition, the council selected a name for a riverfront park in the Wander development; staff said the new park will be called "River Walk at Saratoga Springs."
Why it matters: the gateway-overlay parking amendments change how parking is sited on properties affected by the gateway overlay and freeway frontage; the school-overlay amendment will not move forward as code, per council decision. The other approvals are project-specific endorsements by City Council.
No motions were taken by the Planning Commission on these items; the director presented them as informational updates.
