The Overlay Zone included the following primary elements: • A potential increase in City population of 11,102 residents. • A potential increase in the number of available residences within City limits by 5,551 units. • The potential development of 1,275,440 gross square feet of commercial (retail and service) space, as well as 3,410,507 gross square feet of office space. This corresponds to a potential net increase of approximately 963,000 square feet of commercial space and 690,000 square feet of office space beyond existing conditions. The Certified EIR notes that the above development scenario is in accordance with the intended mix of uses as envisioned by the City, in accordance with the Overlay Zone requirements and restrictions explained therein. The project description for the Metro East Mixed Use Overlay Zone EIR provides detailed information regarding (1) development standards by district within the Overlay Zone, (2) residential development and City population, and (3) parking and circulation. The Overlay Zone allows for mixed -use development with an emphasis on residential, commercial, and office uses. Development Standards by District within the Overlay Zone The Overlay Zone allows development to occur per the following district designations: • Neighborhood Transitional • Village Center • Active Urban • Office Neighborhood Transitional The Neighborhood Transitional District is intended to provide opportunities for development that acts as a transition between the single-family residential to the north and the adjacent high - intensity Active Urban District. Designated for the lowest scale and the lowest intensity of uses in the Overlay Zone, development in this district is limited to residential, live/work, or office uses. These uses may combine office on the ground floor with residential above or in freestanding single -use buildings on the same site at between two and three (2-3) stories in height. New development in this area will be designed to provide an appropriate interface with high levels of landscaping and design features that minimize impacts to the adjacent single-family residential area to the north.
