GPAC supports Riviera’s LAPAC recommendation for Siegler Springs mixed‑use area
Summary
After discussion, the GPAC voted to support the Riviera’s LAPAC recommendation to change a cluster of parcels (Siegler Springs area) from suburban residential reserve to local commercial to enable a walkable, mixed‑use hamlet reconstruction following wildfire losses.
The GPAC voted to support a Riviera’s LAPAC recommendation to change a cluster of parcels near Siegler Springs from suburban residential reserve to local commercial to further a proposed hamlet‑style mixed‑use redevelopment.
LAPAC rationale: PlaceWorks staff and local LAPAC members described the Siegler Springs area as a Valley Fire recovery opportunity where a hamlet‑style, walkable neighborhood with commercial spaces and residential units could replace previously destroyed structures. The Lafayette area LAPAC recommended converting the pink‑outlined parcels to local commercial to support mixed use and provide neighborhood‑serving retail.
Committee action: A GPAC member moved to support the LAPAC recommendation and another GPAC member seconded. The committee approved the motion by voice vote. The motion asked staff to forward the LAPAC recommendation to the Board as supported by GPAC; no zoning changes were enacted at the meeting.
Public comment and context: Several speakers noted the area’s post‑fire condition and said mixed‑use redevelopment could help reestablish community amenities. Staff reminded attendees that land‑use designation changes do not directly rezone property; rezoning would follow in a later county‑led rezone process if the Board adopts the general‑plan change.
Ending: The GPAC’s support will be included with the LAPAC record forwarded to the Board; staff will ensure the change and supporting rationale are included in the draft environmental documents.
