In 2018, the City approved an expansion of the MEMU Overlay Zone primarily along First Street to Grand Avenue that resulted in an additional 33 acres of potential mixed -use development. In 2006, Shea Homes proposed a mixed -use project at the site consisting of almost 600 residential units, and 7,750 square feet of commercial space within a 5-story, 8-story and 20-story buildings. However, the due to economic conditions, the application was withdrawn. Currently, the project site is vacant and undeveloped. In 2019, the applicant submitted plans to the development review committee and planning staff for review. Planning staff requested that the applicant maximize the amount of commercial space at the project, enhance the corner of Fourth Street and Cabrillo Park Drive, enhance the building materials, and increase in the number of parking spaces. A market analysis was completed for the project and evidenced that no more than 21,000 square feet can be successfully supported. The
