EXPLANATION:
The Westside Specific Plan approved by City Council in March 2010 identifies a number of goals which
include pursuing partnerships to construct affordable housing units throughout the plan area and to concentrate
affordable housing and transit oriented development efforts on parcels surrounding Paradise Creek. Goal 3.9
(page 30) of the Westside Specific Plan states "Actively pursue partnerships to construct 200 affordable housing
units throughout the plan area and to concentrate efforts towards meeting affordable housing goals on parcels
surrounding Paradise Creek." Strategy 3.9 (page 31) states "Require dedication of open space easements for
parkland adjacent to Paradise Creek, including passive and active recreation, trails and habitat restoration." The
Land Use section of the Plan (Chapter 3, page 37) calls for Transit Oriented Development on the larger
underutilized lands north of the Trolley Station to be developed at a maximum height of five stories and 65-feet
including ground level parking and states: "Development of the area immediately south of Kimball School will be
primarily used for developing affordable housing and supportive services." The Plan, on page 38, reflects an
early conceptual site plan prepared by the selected developers.
